The political aexcitemeht develops the
latent insanity residing IN some peopIe..I
was talking with an Englishman yesterday
who has resided many years iusthls country.
He Is an Intense Radical (it Is noticeable .thst
nearly every English born Citizen one meets
In the Northern States ls an Administration
Ist, while. the reverse is the case, believe, IN
the South, and In Canada the:sgmpathy Is With
the Democrats or Lberals) he was giving:
me his reasons for supporting Grant. "rne

rise in rebellion"

cltedly, land know the people,; .Ittell you,

his fiat down on his desk) Greeley would let

found It no use reasoning With this zealot.

Mr. Saunders is On Intelligent and Well-eou;
Gated gentleman, who was n0mmatef iok
eleotor on The Grant ticket .dD Maryland, but
who resigned about the ume OF the Bahimgrp
Convention, and took the stump Tor Greeley.
One OF the colored preachers here, Rev. II. b.
Garnet, whetis for Grant, had lboasuHRly s1-.
pressed wiah to meet the Greeley champion
In debate. This reached SaunderS's ears, ano,
as soon aa the North Carolina campaign Was
leneer. he found Garnet very siippery. .niIt
was difficult to bring him to terms. E pro-
