The Pennsylvania Movement.

A special dispatch to the Louisville C.,..

The Liberal Republican call for g State
convention in Pennsylvania and a delega-
ton to Cincinnati has, next TO the deiec-
ton of Governor Palmer, Of Illinois, caused
the greatest CONSERVATION in the admins
tratlcn circles here to-day, from the fact
that it comes from a State that the Grant
party must carry to win the election. If
the Liberal movement becomes as formida-
BILE in Pennsylvania and Illinois as is now
promised, the Grant men here conccde the
loss OF those States and the success of the
Liberal ticket. Forney's Press to-day in
dorsed the character and standing of the
men who have issued this Liberal call in

The Temperance Societies Of France
are attacking tobacco and alcohol with
new weapons. Instead Of issuing touch
ing narratives Of the instantaneous death
of the small boy who ate four pounds Of
tobacco and drank three quarts of raw al
cOhol, and so soaring the sinner from bis
evil ways by words, they have enlisted
the brush Of the artist, and have hung
up near oil the Wine-shops accurate rep
reservations of the hu man stomach acted
upon by absinthe. Pictures of entails
in a healthy state are not exactly Appeti-

direct attack 90 the seat OF war may re,

Going West CautiOnary.

We hear almost daily of persons leav-
ing different parts of East Tennessee
for the West. They are going under
such circumstances that we believe it to
he our duty, as journalists, to allude to
the matter publicly. Oflate, agents Of
Western neutrality-suspicious., have
gone into every neighborhood where
they had any encouragement ut all, and
have ~canyassed for immigrants to set
tie upon their lands, MS the merchant
canylsscs for the sale Of his wares. If
they operated upon mon nf wealth, men
who can afford to spend their money
i'll experimental enterprises, we would
not say n word, but nine out Of every
ten Of those who nre thus induced to
leave their "mOuntain hoLAes' are nor
Of small meals. They cannot afford to
take their families West, to settle down
npon some barren prairie, exposed to
the rough blasts OF a northwestern win
ter where they are attacked by dis
ease, aud then they have to tnrn their
eyes iongingly to tho home of their
childhood, but without means to get
away from their miserable situation.
There are thousands Of such expert
ences MS that Just alluded to. There
is scarcely an autumn that we do not
see the emigraut. pale, caro-worn, sick,
returning from the West. A MAJ with
capital can certainly find good chances
for Investment in the West, but to men
Of small means if they have n home i'll
East Tennessee, be it ever SO humble,
it is certainly better for them than 60
ing West, without knowing what awaits
them there. We have heard OF men
purchasing laud in the West without
knowing what it was, who upon visiting
it, offered it n present to the gentleman
who pointed it ont them. We would
ms be understood as iutimating or say
ing that the Western country is moi
rich. for it is the richest i'll the world,
hut we wuld caution our friends against
risking their all nlon the statement OF
any one who IL interested in the sale

FOR GOVERNOR,
Cincinnati Convention.

1t is now very generally admitted that
the Cincinnati Convention will convene
on the first of tha incoming month. and
that il will be one Of the largest political
meetings that ever assembled in the
United States. Questions oi vital im-
portance to the people have to I've met
and determined by them in the APP
preaching anvHss The object Of that
meeting is to place in nomination for
Presidency ard Vice-Prcsidency, Liber.
al Republicans who ARE opposed TO the
unrestricted system Of thieyery, robbery
and corruption, which hNS been put in
successful operation ny Grant and. lis
admirers. When That convention was
first spoken Of by the papers, the ad
ministration aud its hirolines hoOtsd Mt
the idea aud ridiruled it, but ascertain
ing that the same would he largely nj
tended by some of the most influential
Republicansin the government, M effort
Inns been made 10 nuy them of or to
keep them from going tn said conycm-
ton, Certain hirclings Of Grant have
felt Of Greeley and Fenton to keep them
from going to the convention, but all to
no purpose, There seems to he AN in
1OxRble determination on the part OF
the thinking portion Of the Republican
party To hurl from place aud position
those corrupt miuions Of the President
and substitute in their stead men OF
honesty and integrity. From the pres
ent indications Gou. Grant may prepare
to retire from the White House to Long
Branch or some other similar retreat
which has been II gift from some corrupt
scoundrrl. The great mass Of the PEG,
pie are J.. heart and hand with the Lib,
erHl Republican movement. Unless VI
are terribly mistaken the end Of Grant
and his followers il nigh. Speed the
time is our wish.
