A PerilOus Place.

Mr.. Greeley thus far has never been par
ticularly remarkable for either moral or ply.
steal courage, yet he displays something Dor
dering on recklessness in venturing out at the
head of ticket on which Gratz Brown occu-
pies the second place. His friends at Gin
cinnati have committed the same mistake that
the Republicans committed in 1864 at Mr..
Lincoln's suggestion in nominating Andrew
Johnson for the Vice Presidency, and the
Democrats, as matter of course, have been
very ready to indorse nominations which offer
them all the advantages that they could have
obtained if they had had the making of them.
Mr.. Greeley once knew and cannot well have
forgotten that twice before the extreme DEM
ocrats succeeded to place at the head of the
Government a man entirely after their own
hearts, plant tool of all their pernicious and
felonious schemes, whom they never could
have hoped to elect to the Presidency, but
by smuggling him in as the caudal appendage
to more moderate and popular man in the
shape Of Vice President. Thus Tyler was
made to succeed Harrison, Taylor had to
make room for Fillmore, and if Buchanan had
been little less accommodating, the very
embodiment of extreme Southern State rights
and secession doctrines John Breckenridge
"was willing, "and there is more than sufficient
affinity between Gratz Brown and Andrew
johnson, besides the temperance question, to
leave doubt that if ever the former were to
succeed Horace Greeley, he would have no
scruple to act over the reasonable game of
that individual with such notifications as Cir
cumstances will require, and with better
chances of success, since he would probably
be backed by Democratic Congress.
Under these circumstances and with these
facts before him, Mr.. Greeley can hardly be
expected not to perceive that in case of his
election he would be delivered hands and feet
tied into the hands of the Democrats. If
ever he should feel tempted to set his face
against any odious measure, not to approve
of Ku Kluxism or any other outrage, he would
imagine to see the sword suspended over his
head, and as he cannot be supposed to value
his own life less than the majority of men, he
will naturally manage to be on the safe side.
If, however, his greed for the Presidency has
troubled his vision to such degree as to
make him perfectly insensible to the risk he
runs, those deluded Republicans who still
believe him sincere in his professions of Re-
publicanism ought to open their eyes to the
danger that they have helped torconjurc up
by their injudicious nomination of a man who
would furnish the most convenient handle to
the enemy.

A Very Lame Duck!

Ex-senator J. R. Doolittle, the President
of the Baltimore Democratic Convention, and
one of Greeley's noisiest supporters, has re-
ceived shot from the New York Times that
will disable him for the rest of his natural
life, and compel his speedy retirement from
the campaign. No man, were he thousand
times stronger than this unscrupulous dema-
gogue ever had the reputation Of being, can
stand such an exhibition of corruption, by
pocrisy, vanity, and falsehood as the cores
pondence to be found in to-day's paper re-
yeals. 1t does not need single word o.
comment. 1t illustrates most perfectly the
character of representative Greeleyite, and
proves that one of the best of them is cor.
rupt to the very core.

M We are receiving letters from different
branches of the Freedman's Savings and
Trust Company repudating the idea that
that institution is being run in the interest
of Greeley or any other candidate for the
Presidency. The action and tone of the at
tachcs of the branch in this city led to the
suspicion that there might be concerted effort
on the part of the bank men in the interest
of Horace, the ambitious. We are glad to
learn by letters in our possession that most
of the attaches of the different branches are
men, and have brains enough to know how
to vote without asking anybody else to tell
them.

HORACE GREELEY's organ has abused the
President as the alder and abetter of Gov
crnment defaulters on account Of the theft
committed by J. F. Bailey, Internal Revenue
Collector of one Of the New York districts.
But it did not inform its readers that Bailey
was appointed by Mr.. Lincoln at the urgent
request of Greeley himself, the sweet-scented
r. E. Fenton, his chief lieutenant, and Theo-
dore Tilton, the biographer and admirer of
the virtuous Mrs. Victoria Woodruff. Such
is the official record!

Con Gederate Bonds Looking Up.

The nomination Of secession candidate
for President by sorehead Republicans and
the rebel Democracy has had as eXhiarating
an effect upon rebel bonds as depressing in
f1uence upon our own credit. The bare pos
sibility of a candidate bound hand and foot to
the secession Democracy, and himself dis
unionist, has deprecated our national cur
rency four cents on dollar while it has
given the holders, especially in England, of
the rebel bonds strong encouragement that
they will be paid by Greeley's administration.
1t is stated that with the first lying news Of
a secession Greeley victory in North Carolina
the Confederate bonds went up with sud-
den bound The New York Times thus
comments on this extraordinary fact:
cit has been known for few days past to
prominent bankers in Wall street, that Con-
federate bonds in Europe, which before Mr..
Greeley's nomination were worth little except
as waste paper, have suddenly attained a
marketable value, and that none can be
bought from parties owning them. The
bankers Of London and Frankfort claim to
have received advices, upon authority, that
in the event of Mr.. Greeley's election, these
bonds will be Endorsed by the United States
Government, and be held rs valid as its own
issues These men must have had some
ground for their faith, and although it may be
idle rrmor, vet the political complexion of
the party supporting Mr.. Greeley entities the
matter to some consideration. The Southern
politicians who support Mr.. Greeley were
foremost in the attempts to destroy the Gov
eminent few years ago; and rs Mr.. Greeley
goes hand in glove with them, it would not be
at all strange if the European capitalists have
good grounds for their confidence in the value
of Confederate securities in the event of his
election -

THE Utica q. y Herald states that when
W. Henry, one of the oldest of the respecta-
BILE colored citizens Of that city shook hands
with the President upon the occasion Of his
recent visit there, lie exclaimed, with the ut
most feeling: Mr.. Grant, God bless you
you have been the benefactor of the colored
race, and we intend to give you 900, 900 col
ored votes - and, clasping his hands in both
his with fervent squeeze, he passed on.
President Grant returned the salutation
warmly.

and in tone anything but decorous towards
MIR. Sumner. The Greeleyites, after all their
desperate efforts to obtain Mr.. Sumner's
Endorsement, will soon realize that they have
caught a Tartar, and he himself will not be
long to discover that, after having formerly
rendered glorious service to the Republican
cause, as its warm advocate, he has for once
served it unconsciously and against his will,
vet none the less effectually.

THE statement made by David Clark, OF
Hartford, Conn, to Sayles j. Bowen, OF this
city. that General Howard informed him that
the President desired the Secretary Of War
to organize the court. which was to try
Cadet Smith, of West Point, in such way
as TO cause his removal, is pronounced abso-
lutely untrue by Gen. Howard. Thus ends
another ''liberal" libel.

THE Republican gains in North Carolina
were almost eight thousand votes, and but
for Tammany frauds they would have been
ten thousand, and at least two more Con-
gressmen. Nearly the whole Republican
majority Of the State was crowded into one
district. But in spite Of this villainous out
rage We carried three districts-two more
than they intended.

THE New York Tribune of May IL, 1871
in an editorial written by Horace Greeley,
said:

dent. Should he be the Republican candi-
date, we shall of course support him TO the
best of our ability

him. Deponent perused Seymour's letters
recognized the handwriting. 1t mentioned
an interview of Carmichael and Seymour,
and an interview of Carmichael and Greeley,
saving he (Seymour) was more favorably
impressed with the turn of matters; men
toned the tariff question, and said the best
way was to leave the issue a vague one, as
Carmichael had proposed to unite persons OF
different views in the coalition movement;
suggested that if Mr.. Greeley favored this it
would smooth the way to the end. Letter
was read by deponent about last of March
or first Of April, 1872.
1.-THE subject had previously been brought
to deponent's notice by Carmichael; thought
the matter too absurd to notice +; but, after
the Cincinnati nomination, he understood
its Importance, and endeavored to procure
copies.
"Deponent was informed in December.
1871. from the statement of Carmichael, that
Greeley had promised the tone OF the If76Hne
would be changed about the first of the year
1872, which statement of Carmichael depo-
nent can prove on competent testimony OF
n public officer. Deponent further remem-
beers that in one of Greeley's letters Chase
was mentioned rs now feeble and broken
down."
Honors change mems characters or man
ners! In view of Mr.. Greeley's utterances,
we wonder not at the brilliant display of
mental gymnastics with which we have been
amused. He wrote, relative to the dissolu-
ton of the Union in 1851: at is an idea
conceived in cowardice and brought forth in
folly. 1t is the base product of craven
timiditv, an emasculated manliness."

POETRY
NV little LaDQrer.

A tiny man; with fingers soft an tender,
AS any lady's fair;
Sweet eyes of blue, form both frail and slender,
And curls of sunny hair;
A household toy, fragile Thing Of beauty
Yet with each rising sun
Begins his round of toil-a solemn duty,
That must be daily done.
To-day he's building castle, house and tower,
With wondrous art and skill;
Or labors with his hammer by the hour,
With strong, determined will.
Anon, with loaded little cart he's plying,
A brisk and driving trade;
Again, with thoughtful, earnest brow, is trying
Some books dark lore to read.
Now, laden like some little beast of burden,
He drags himself along,
And now his lordly little voice is heard in
Boistr0us shout and song;
Another hour il spent in busy toiling
With hoop and top and ball,
And with patience that is nsyer faillng,
He tries and conQuerS all.
But sleep at last o'ertakes my little rover,
And on his mothers breast,
Joys thrown aside, the days hard labor over,
He sinks to quiet rest;
Aud as fold him to my bosom, sleeping,
think, mid gathering tears
OF what the distant future may be keeping,
AS work for manhood's years.
Must he, with toll his daily bread be earning,
-, 0Aio WI ~ uuoy iudiL,
Lf.s bitter lessons every day be learning,
With patient struggling heart?
Or shall my little architect be building
S me monument of fame,
On which, in letters bright with glory's gliding
The world may read his name?
Perhaps some humble, lowly oacupa ion,
But shared with sweet content;
Perhaps life in loftier prouder station,
In selfish pleasure spent.
Perchance these little feet may cross the portal
OF learning's lof fame,
His life work be to scatter truths immortal
Among the sons Of men!
