port, anu 10 the 1ufiest extent OF Oul
limited sphere of action; but we simply
aim to declare it as our firm conviction
that had Mr.. Adams been put in hi:
place, the result would not have been
doubtful in the least, and that result
would have been triumphant victory
for the Liberals at the coming election.
Mr.. Adams is, to-day, and has been
since the close of the war, the most popu'
lar man with the Democrats all over the
country, which could be found numbered
among the Republican hosts. More than
this, every day he is becoming still more
popular with them rs he becomes better
known and better understood as poll
tician.
True, Mr.. Greeley is also very greatly
beloved by the. Democrats of the South,
because he stood up amid the departing
smoke of a hundred bloody battle fields,
and put his signature to the bail bond of
of the every chief of sinners'-of the
one who, more than any other man of
the South, had worked for the division of
the States into two governments. What
wonderful sagaeity, as well as human
kindness, manifested itself in such an act
az this
II did endear him to that people who
loved their leader as tenderly as a little
child loves the mother who bore it, and
If the Democratic party should fail to
nominate a ticket, or should passively en-
do7se the Liberals, the vote that will be
given Mr.. Greeley all over the South,
would be greater than any one living or
dead, ever received in that section for
any Office.
Weprefer Mr.. Greeley, immeasurably,
10 the bet man who adheres to the Grant
party He is far above their best men
in I'll andeverything patriotic, honorable
and wise. and we doubt not that he would
make our country wise, safe and liberal
ruler.

THE LIBERAL TICKET.

We doubt not that our readers almost
without exception, are surprised at the
nomination Of Greeley for President
The nomination of Mr.. Graft Brown for
the second place, creates no surprise what.
ever. The people anticipated it. Mr..
Brown deserved such an honor at the
hands Of the party for which he had done
so much; if, in fact, he was not its god
father. Had we been called upon to Sc
lect the man for this place from the Lib
eral ranks, our first choice would have
been B. Gratz Brown. Had we been asked
TO select candidate for President, we
should, unquestionably, have chosen
Charles Francis Adams.
But us "this is not our funeral and
as the great convention did not, in its wis
dom (or folly) see proper to consult us
in the matter, and leave to our judgment
the selection of their candidates, we pre-
sumo the people will have to take the
ticket as it stands, and make the most of
it. We however, greatly admire Horace
Greeley. His many traits of good char
acter shine out so resplendently and in
such wonderful contrast with those of the
great men of the party which he has
abandoned in disgust, that we are half
inclined not to say we admire and prefer
any other man among his new party, to
himself.
We do not intend TO intimate that IL
the Democratic party should fail to put

A Few SHARP QUEsrIONs.-The convention
which has placed Mr.. Greeley in nomination was
called as protest against political rings and pro-
fessed purpose to lift political affairs ont of the
degradation of intrigue and traffic. Who shall
explain to the satisfaction of the country the Sc
cret of Vaccinations which effected an alliance of
the protective tariff interests of Pennsylvania
with the free trade zeal Of Missouri What was
the potential consideration that subdued the
persistency of the revenue reform party, in the
special interest of which this convention was
conceived aud brought forth, aud which could
count a controlling majority Of the delegatesi
How shall we sufficiently admire the severe and
dauntless virtue which consented that the grave
issues of political economy should be juggled out
of sight and made dead issue in national poll
tics, in order that they might not stand in the
way of the nomination for high Office of the man
who heretofore had stcadfastly insisted that they
could not be ignored without dishonorf What
shall we say of the party which has for chief
pretext of existence the necessity of putting in
to the chief executive Office man whom rognes
can not impose upon, and forthwith presents q
whose gushing sympathy and mistaken
condolences have made him the butt Of pitifnl
ridicule for generatiOn.-Bosfoa -4drTtiser, Re

ALL THAT Is LOVELY MUsr lEPARr.-H. C.
WHITNEY, of Allen, the great Land Office Remov-
er &c, has cast his lot with the Liberals In su-
perfcial inches, the Republican party has lost
heavily. We remember, last Winter, about the
time he received that pair of socks, made accord
ing to actual measurement, WHITNEY was greatly
worried with the notion that certain members of
tine senate Were going to desert the Republican
party, and go over to the Liberal sore-heads, the
very hrst opportunity after the adjournment of
tne Legislature. He strongly suspected SNoDDY;
Thought SLOWER was shaky; and had no doubt
PRESCOTT had his trunk packed ready to start.
If any of these men do 60, they will find that
WHITNEY, having made good use Of his long
shanks, and taken short cut through the turujp
patch, is there ahead Of them, and is ready to e..
hibit or explain all the little machinery Of the
concern.

Frightened into Insanity.

week or two ago a family named Woodstock
arrived in this city from Westchester, New York,
intending to settle in the State, and accepted the
invitation Of an old acquaintance, residing on
Russell street, to stay with him for week or
two until they had decided where tn locate. Not
being suited with the city, Woodstock took trip
to the interior and purchased farm in Berrien
County. He came back Saturday night, and the
family would have left Monday, only for the oc-
cnrrence of sad affair due to the Puritanical
ideas and har,l-heartedness of the father.
The youngest of the children is a boy about
four years old, who, being pet, has been allow
ed 10 sleep with his parents. Sunday night the
Wooslstocks desiring to go to church, an effort
was made to get the boy To go to bed with an
older brother He was frightened and tmd and
made great opposition, saving "that he was
afraid of bears and wolves The opposition ir-
ritated the father and he declared that he would
not go to church. and that Charlie should 20 to
sleep in that bed. As the child kept crying and
teasing, the older one made to get up and
sleep elsewhere. This did not help matters, of
course and then Woodstock told the boy he
he did not cease crying. Frightened further, the
lad continued weeping and beseeching. and Wood
stock did as he said he would.
The boy screamed at the top of his voice for a
few minutes, beat ON the door, and enfrrated to
be taken out, but his father was unrclentinc rs a
rock. The walls gradually died away, the lad
ceased to shout, and after half an hour the door
was opened. He was found asleep, as expected
but he was crouehed down in corner, his feet
drawn mp under him, and it took only a moment
to convince the parents that the boy had been
rendered lunatic an idiot. He laughed and
talked to himself, did not reply to question,
gave no one any notice, and when the mother re-
allied what had occurred she fintef away. Every
effort was made by the friends tn bring the boys
reason bark, but all failed. He would not speak,
gave The other children no notice, but wanted to
roll around on the floor and play with slools and
sticks. A physician was called Monday and two
more on Tuesday, but all were agreed that the
boys reason had been affected by his fright and
that he was and might be an idiot for The rest of
MS days. The circumstance has nearly broken !

stars and stripes from safe places in Boston and
Philadelphia, and ruthlessly exposed the dear old

South Carolina.

we are high tariff to suit New England or low tar

yes!
We propose to abolish all crime-tO do away
with custom houses, and have all vessels land ut
some other place.
We propose to stop taxation, and pay the ma
tiOnal debt out of our own pocket-if we have to
steal every cent in the treasury to do it. In fact
if there is anything in this world which We, rs
party, openly detest, it is one thing more than
another-and We pledge ouerselves to abolish it.
If You ask us if We are for high tariff to suit Mr..
Greeley, or low tariff to suit George Pendleton,
we admit emphatically that We are.
Grant has only three principles i'm view-to
have peace, cOntentment, and pay the national
debt, while we have eight principles-tive loaves,
two fishes, and place in the eostom bonse.
Grant says let jeff Davis and Beauregard stay
where they are, while we say give them amnesty
and front seats in congress and the senate.
For this reason, to-day become aprodigal, and
go off with Mr.. Greeley to live on the Cincinnati

promise to kill the fatted custom-house calf, and

WE ToLD You So.-Some weeks ago, in speak
ing of the Liberal movement, We mentioned the
fact, that in many Kansas towns there were two
Republican papers published, and predicted that
in mojority of cases. one of the two would slough
of with the Liberals, just to be in opposition to
the other paper. We already find this come TO
pass in Olathe, Ottawa, and Wichita, and, for all
practical purposes, in Lawrence and Topeka Pa
ola, Salina and Holton have not yet broken ranks

IHE CLoyEN FOor.-The st. Louis Repxblioas,
a democratic. passive-possum paper, thus shows
the clOven foot:

Horace Greeley the next President and TO do Il,
TOO, IN such way that he can never forget the
obligation. Greeley would he an immense i'm
pfovement on Grant, and this fact alone would
De ample compensation for his election. But this
= no, all; the main consideration remains to be
stated, and il is this: The election of Creelev
ana Brown by Democratic votes involves the in
ev'tsoie accompaniment Of the election of Demo-
cIauc majority in the lower house Of the next
congress. This is worth more than the Presi-
esney OF the vieice Presidency, both together;

T The result of the Cincinnati Convention
does not seem to have frightened the Republicans
of Indiana seriously. The municipal elections
were held throughout the State, last week, and
in nearly every town of any importance, the Re-

erywhere in the State, there are large Republican

HORACE GREELEY's CARINET.-NobOdy can
forecast his Cabinet, 1 suppose, it is subject TO
NO many incompatible contingencies, but have
heard some prominent delegates make some cal
about as follows:

Secretary Of the Treasury-H. c. Warmoth
Secretary of the Interior-Long John Went

Secretary of fWar-Theodore Tilfon.
Secretary of the Navy-Susan b. Anthony.
Attorney General-John Cochrane.
Postmaster General-Abolished. Every man

At his request. the s, ,cretary of War would be
expected to abolish capital punishment, and the
Secretary Of the Treasury to establish Grand

GREELEY and BROwN Of being Copperheads or

the North, as those of the South, would contem-
plate with pride the brilliant military achieve

would not Justify the secession of five millions of

We are mistaken on this point, why does not

A EEMINIsCENCE.-Gen. John Ccchrane was
among the delegates.tO the Cincinnati Conven-
tion. In 1864. while he still wore shoul lcr-straps
he went to Cleveland. Gen. John c. Fremont
was nominated by u boiling convention for Pres
ident in opposition to the peoples choice, Abra-
ham Lincoln. Gen. John Cochrane was put on
the ticket for vice-Prrsilent. Strange to say, i'm
spite of the laurcls he had won in the tented
fell his molesty suggested tO him his possible
defeat, and impeletl him to exchange the sword
for the pen. He wrote President Lincoln let
ter. He pointed out in well-chOsen phrases the
Importance to the country of a wise and vigorous
administration at the national capital, in order
to carry the war to victorious conclusion. Call
ing MIR. Lincoln to an exercise of supreme patri-
Otisnl, General CCehrane asked him to withdraw
his name as Presidential candidate, and mag
unanimously offered, if the President assented, to
show his Enselfishness and lack of ambition by
taking his ticket out of the canvass. On the re-
reipt Of Cochranes letter, Old Abe told little
story. "a bantam rooster in the stall with a
horse, being nearly trnl upon by his four-iooted
friend thus addressed him: Look here. you big
