ST.. Jo.-A correspondent of the st. Paul
Pioneer writes 81 have just returned from
visiting the village and township Of St.
Joe, steacns county, eighty miles north
west Of st. Paul, by the St. Paul s. Pacific
r. R., and eight miles from St. Cloud, the
county seat.
est. Joe is noteworthy for the industry,
harmony, honesty, and, consequently, the
prosperity of its settlers, who are mostly
all Germans. With bridges and roads
among the best in the State, it is wholly
out Of debt, and generally winds up its
years accounts by having a balance in the
treasury that its wise mem do not we'll
know what to do with; for they have not
yet learned, at St. ice, to steal themselves
rich. This is hard hit at certain parties
in st. Cloud. Primitive people, they pre-
fer working themselves rich, and they have
succeeded. The extension of the branch
line of the St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, and
running to Pembina, takes in St. Joe."
Mr.. Linnemann. prominent merchant
of the place, describes Stearns county very
briefly as follows: "You won't find much
better county in this State than Stearns
l. is thirty miles wide and fifty long one
third timber and two.thirds prairie and
meadow. The timber is maple, oak, birch
and elm. The soil in the timber is rich,
and as the railroad runs through this to
Melrose Prairie, aud again entering the
timber runs to Sank Centre there is q
fine opportunity TO open timber farms,
which are held at a very low price. Farm
ers in the timber in this county have
done as we'll as the prairie farmers, and
the railroad is going to give them a big
| lift"

The explanation furnished by Col.
speech in Shreveport, from which
as reported, we had to dissent, because
of the allegation that those Democratic
delegates who voted not to expel II. J.
Davidson, were allied with Gov. War
moth, clears the Colonel much to our
gratitioation, of having intended to
place the delegates referred to in an at
titude so unjust.
There is one point in the CoIonel's
manly letter which will bear scrutiny
and is suggestive Of serious thought
in connection with Il proposed Greeley
coalition in this State. AS we under
stand him, Col. Williamson prefers an
alliance with the colOred people to
one with Warmoth. Necessarily, this
will leave him opposed to the Greeley
Warmoth coalition, because the color
ell people are not expected to favor that
coalition.
And this we understand to be the
position, generally, of the leading men
III thc INtlOTIll movement CT InlS St1te.
They do not say they prefer Grant to
Greeley; but they do say they will not
have Warmoth under any circumstan-
ces. But it is a condition precedent to
supporting Greeley effectively, that
Gov. Warmoth must be taken in as one
of the party, and as the understood
successor of either himself or Senator
Kellogg. Hence, the Reformcrs will
not unite with the Democrats if Mcu
unite with Greeley and Warmoth.
Now, how is this difference to be re-
concileti: Did we not suggest the
method last week, when we said that
the only compromise ticket would
prove to be straight Democratic
state ticket, unbiased and uncontrolled
by any coalition whatever: The War
moth Republican says that the Liberal
Republicans will not support such n
ticket, but we believe they will. But |
if they will not, the RctormcrS will ,
prefer it, with some of their men on it,
to Il Liberal Republican ticket in War
moths interest, and the Reformers
have more votes in New Orleans than
he Liberals have in all the States COM
lincd.

What Leading Northern Democrat
Thinks Of the Greeley Ticket.

We are in receipt of u private letter
from n leading Democrat in one of the
Northern States, at present having
high position and great Democratic in
fuence ut Westinghouse moderate
Democrat who assisted to inaugurate
the Revenue Reform from
which letter we make short extract for
the benefit of those, who like ourself, are
honestly, earnestly seeking correct in
formation, and really want the State
and the Union redeemed from Radical
misrule.
Our business brings us into contact
with many strange, stern facts bearing
upon the questions now before the peo-
pie. In dark and troublous times, the
part of wisdom is to look every danger,
actual and contingent, fairly in the face,
and to strip from specious pretexts and
schemes the disguise of FEASIBILITY
and lay their real features bare before
the world. The Greeley movement
needs to be closely studied, with refer
ence to the consequences which may
follow its success, if successful it shall
be, and in this view we take the liberty
with our friends earnest words, inten-
ded only for our eyes, to give them to
our readers:
don't want Greeley. l don't see
how can ever support him. He is a
bitter pill. He has no sympathy with
us. He hates Democrats. He splits
upon some of our most cherished prin-
ciples. If elected, he would put Off
rational tariff reform for twenty years.
If he should be elected by us, I fear our
party would not survive a year. So it
appears to me.
We are under no obligations to accept
Cincinnati. It was not our convention.
1t was called by revenue reformers,
who have great and enduring ideas and
convictions, and because it was so
called, and was honest and patriotic, it
aroused the popular heart and awaken
ed sympathy. But the convention
widened its ''call" q few days before it
met. Then came tumbling in set of
artful and selfish protectionists. They
are safe under Grant, but if they could
get Greeley they would be doubly safe.
Then the convention was beset by a
hoarde of tricksters and political mar
plots. The results of this bad combi-
nation were bad tariff platform and
the worst candidate in America for
Democrats, and generally a fearful
blunder. 1 don't believe the party will
take Greeley. The Greeley movement
ought to be hanked by the nomination
at Baltimore of some such ticket as J..
d. Cox, of Ohio, and Judge Church, of
New York or Groesbeck, of Ohio, and
J. q. Adams. The Greeley Democrats
have gone so far in his support that
they will bitterly oppose any straight
Democratic ticket. So it looks to me.
But a month will see great changes. 1t
is hard to fOresee what form they may
take. The Greeley fever here wanes
now. 1t will not hold out.

Two Letters.

The first page of tO-day's paper pre-
sents to our readers Horace Greeley's
letter of acceptance of the Cincinnati
nomination. The letter is very little
more than an epitome of the Cincinnati
platform, with Mr.. Greeley's annOta-
tions given thereon. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that Mr.. Greeley presents
his case we'll: he is too old a journalist
and the author OF too many books, not
to be familiar with the use of the pen.
We conclude from this letter that
Mr.. Greeley has formally and finally
cut loose from the Philadelphia Con-
vention, and intends to run the race
through, elf it takes all the summer
to run it. This consummates the Re-
publican split,-at least until after the
election, which is Il qualification al
ways in order when we are considering
splits in that party.
However earnest Mr.. Greeley may
be when he says he will be the Presi
dent not of a party, but of the people,
We take it for granted that, like Grant,
who made similar declaration,
Mr.. Greeley will be driven from, if he
does not entirely forget, the pledge he
has made. a President without a par
ty, is II President without power and
without principles. He must have n
party, if he has any we1l-defined ideas
of how government should be admins
tered. What kind of party will Mr..
Greelcy's he, if he be elected President?
On this page will be found another
letter which has attracted no little at
tention. It is from tho famous Virginia
cavalryman, Col. John II. Mosby,
in answer to aspersiOns upon his South
ern fealty, because he paid n visit to
Gen. Grant and had said that i'm choos-
ing between the two Republican candi-
dates, he would choose Grant. It will
be seen that Col. Mosby is, like Mr..
Greeley, familiar with the use of the
pen, and is able to present strong case
in behalf of his position, fact every
one recognizing the force of truth and
of logic will not gainsay.
We have endeavorel to impress upon
Democrats the fact it would be impos-
sible to concentrate our whole l,arty
strength upon Mr.. Greeley, and have
urged the point that there would be
found good Democrats and un<loubted
Southern men who would prefer the
soldier who fought for his cause to him
who wrote for it. Now, here is proof
that we were not mistaken, and we are
reinforced III our opinion OF the i'm
practicability Of uniting the Democrats
upon Greeley by the letter of another
Confederate, Col. Il. S.
Ewell, chief of Gen. Joe Johnston's
staff, now president of Virginia COL
lege, who declares his preference for
Gen. Grant.
What hope is there of electing Mr..
Greeley, if he he not supported by a
united Democracy: He has shown no
Republican strength; how can dis
banded Democracy carry him over II
united Republican party:
II we cannot elect Mr.. Greeley-if we
march TO inevitable defeat-why not
march under our old banner and led
by men of Onr own choosing and whose
principles and antecelents we can ap-
prove without reservation:

1t is conceded OH all hands that the
largest share of the responsibility for a
failure to redeem the State from Radi-
cal misruie next NOVemher-if we do
fail-wiil attach to the Democratic or
gnniZntion. Why not, then, permit
that party to fix the order of battle:
II the Democrats are to be held reSpOn-
Siblc in case the adherents of Warmoth
carry the State; why not permit the
Democrats to fight the canvass in their
own chosen method:
That party, or SGT OF men who ar
range the order of battle, we freely
admit, will he, in case of defeat, charr-
able with the blame; provided, they
are supported in good faith by their
allies and, as II Democrat, we shall he
willing to accept and carry all of our
share of the blame in the event of a
defeat where the Democrats are placed
in the front and are told that upon
them and their tactics will rest the res
possibility of carrying the day. But
we protest now, against holding the
democrats proper, responsible for defeat
in contest in the planning Of which
their advice is to be spurned. The ma
jority rites, and the majority must ac-
cept the entire responsibility of its gov

rule and the result was triumph as !
as was ever achieved; in 1870 |
it yielded to the sentiment OF Couserv-
,tism, in opposition to strict Democratic !
teachings and usagcs, and the result

Of the very men who clamorcd for
Conservatism at the outset and suisse
