HARD AT 1T!

The Rcnominationists, if not absolutely dis
beartened. are working with all the fury OF
desperation. We believe in circulating the
documents, and so do the GRANTEES. The
way in which they are testing the virtues OF
nrinter's ink and paper would be beautiful if
we were sure that they did not make this
Door tax-burdened country pay for both.
They have the whole Post-Ohice Department
at their service; a lot of Franking Members
of Congress to help them and when this
resource fails them, they keep two or three,
or twenty or thirty clerks to write the
names of members on the envelopes night
and day. every mail,' says The Ma
nassas Va.) Gazette, "brings hundreds Of
"Grant documents with which the country is
" flooded. We receive at this office about
"bushel per week, until we are fairly smoth-
" cred in Grantism.n 1t adds that of Greeley
and Brown documents there is a scarcity.
Perhaps more are received of these at the
country Post-Oflices, to say nothing OF the
city Post Offices, than are fairly and squarely
delivered to the persons to whom they are adj
dressed. The public does not need to be
informed that in this respect it is very much
at the mercy of the Postmasters. Printed
matter is apt to be neglected under any cir
cumstances-printed Liberal matter is pretty
sure to be neglected in certain quarters in
these exciting times. 1t is the public duty of
the citizen who does MT get what is sent to
him to make the necessary fuss about it, until
his Postmaster learns that in spite of his
official name he Is only the servant, not of
DR.. Grant or the p. NJ. c., but of the SOW
ereign people.
Then, to pass from the printed to the spoken
word, it must MT be forgotten that the Gov
eminent this year may be said to have taken
the stump in person, or in the shape of several
persons. The oflice-hOlder in Washington who

MR. OCONORS LETTlA.

Charles O'Conor is too honest and fair man
to deal in false pretenses; hence his letter 10
Louisville does not pretend to disguise his
real purpose of breaking down the Liberal
movement and aiding the reelection of Gen.
Grant. He does not hold out a hope that the
louisville cabal can elect its ticket lie ex-
aegerates his objections to Greeley; he conceals
or belttIes the faults of Grants administra-
tion. and suggests that after he gets reelected
the General will probably amend them. lie
does his best to make the Democrats forgive
or disregard them.
Yet Mr.. O'COnor's guiding impulse is neither
love of Grant nor hatred of Greeley. What he
rally hates is Progress-the fixed resolve OF
the Democratic masses no longer to ride
dead horse. Slavery has vanished, but Mr.
O,Conor reverences its memory; the Blacks
are citizens and voters, but Nh OConOr would
still fight on to show that what incOntestably
is and must be- of right ought not to be.
Standing on the other side he is as much OPP
posed to clasping hands above the bloody
tbasm as Boutwell, himself. He has not adj
yanced a step since 1880. Happily the class
who sympathize with his spirit is very small
one.

Bismarck would not attend the meeting OF
Emperors which is to take place at
that city to-day. The statement made
NV NJ. de R6musat, on Tuesday, was
sufficient TO convince any person well ac-
onainted with the tendencies of intrgues at
the Berlin court, that the enemies of Bismarck
had succeeded in bringing him into distavor
with the Emperor At such an important
event "a that which is now about to take
Mace. the Punishment Of the Chancellor to his
estates would be equivalent to complete breach
between the Emperor and his chief Minister.
At this late day we have the announcement
that Bismarck has returned to Berlin; but ne
arrived after Prince Gortschakof, Duke Max
imilan of Bavaria, and the Grand Duke
Nicholas of Russia, and too late to participate
in the preliminary review Of the Guards
Thus the Emperor seems TO have periectly
comprehended the difficulty of securing sue
cessor to Bismarck, who has been successful
against this intrigue as he has already been
| in other similar emergencies.

latest of the Conventions-tha held by the
"Republicansn of this State at Utica! There
are fourteen planks in the platform which was
adopted, and not one of them can be honestly
called reconciliation plank. From beginning
to end there is not one phrase OF forgiveness
and forgetfulness not line of encourage
ment to ruined and PROSTATE people! not q
word of good cheer to States which have
fairly returned to The old allegiance
The whole tone of the whole platform
is the tone of highly respectable conqueror

something too much of this already We
might have spared our brethren these IN
timely and mischievOus insults. Even ruined
Rebels do not care to be lectured forever

Of peace and good will. If Grant victory
means nothing better than merely sectional
and partisan triumph, the thing to be hopeo

RR1TERNLZATION.

A religious union of the North and South is
not thought to be impossible. DR.. Edwards, in
The Richmond Christian AduOcate, speaking of
the late attempt to reunite the Northern and
Southern branches of the NJ. L. Church, says
that it "was of character too broad, too
"honest too sincere, to be allowed TO pass
without an outspoken response equally I'M
"bued with the spirit of Christianity. For
myself, wish to say that l accept the offer
" of determination as proposed to be rendered
"by the late General Conference to the next
"General Conference of the Methodist Episco-
nal Church. South.n One thing The Richmond
Adrocato admits. While it does not think
there can be organic union of the two Churches,
il believes there might be friendly recOgni-
"tion." Now, the difference between religious
and a political recognition by each section Of
the other is this the religious bodies can, to a
certain extent, be upon friendly terms without
an organic union but political differences,
arising from the hostilities of the past, pre-
clude united effort for the common good of
the whole country. Still, let us see how much
even the friendly recognition" Emitted as it
is, presupposes
We are not aware that the Methodist Church,
North, as a preliminary to mutual recognition,
demands of the Southern Church the extra
ordinary things which the Grant party think
are necessary to repentance. 1t is remark
able fact that the repentance politically of
Southern Methodists is taken for granted. AS
church members they may be forgiven, invited
into the fold and welcomed to a renewed and
sanity communion. This is right for Christians
should be brotherly and forgiving; but, in the
name of all that is lovely, why can we have
no forgiveness in our politics Why should
more be demanded of man as member Of
the political compact than as a member of the
Church Why should Southern men be
trusted as they are Methodists, or Baptists, or
Presbyterians and diStrusted as they are sim
ply citizens This is what the so-called Re-
publican party resolutely persists in doing
Since politics assumed It's present position, the
GRANTEES have hardly a kind word to throw
even to Southern dog. They lee
ture, they reprove, they rebuke; but
as for any definite, hearty, whole
souled offer of genuine good-felowship, it
has yet 10 be made by any authorized Re

compass the sense and meaning OF inc
occasion. It is not that either party
has deserted any principle of faith or prac-
tice. But with the progress OF time ne" uu-
ties and obligations arise which are recog-
nizod by the best men of both parties as
binding, the Importance OF which dwarf al
minor details of former partisan platforms
The needs of the hour are Reform ana ne
Cancellation. These form at once the leading
principles of Democrats and Liberal Ropubli-
cans. and constitute tho natural and moss
efficient bond of union between them.
1t is in this spirit that the Convention has
oDened and will doubtless continue Its 'aoors'
We do not recall Convention in which there
has been 60 little discussion Of personal
claims, so little of the greed of locality which
nelson's our ordinary politics. The only ques-
tons which seem to be regarded as worthy oil
consideration are as to the relative
capacit5 of candidates to serve tho cause
in the canvass and afterward in Office
Animated by such purposes and COM
posed of such material, we are sure the Con
yention can make no mistakes, and conn
IDENTIFY await the days work which is to LEAD
to victory in November fruitful In good re-
suits for the State and the nation.

THE SYRACUSE CONVENTION


The keynote of the Conventions now in ses-
sion at Syracuse was struck yesterday by the
opening words Of Mr. Tilden's speech "The
antagonisms which civil war has created be-
tween the kindred populations of our country
"must be closed up now and forever" In view
Of the fact that this is the animadng sentiment
which has brought about and sustains the
present cordial and unselfsh coalition be-
tween the Liberal Republicans and the
Democratic. party, they can well afford to
despise the imputatons of sordid motives,
which form the only foundation of the at
tacks of the opposition. In both the Conven-
tons the men at the head of affairs are
among the most distinguished advocates OF
Reform in the State. No man of any promi-
nence has any stain upon his name Both
bodies are singularly free from any elements
of corruption or self-seeking There are no
objects to be sought by the men whose coun-
sells guide these gatherings which, cannot be
laid open and avOwed1to the world 1t is one
of the most remarkable instances in the
history of parties, of the harmonious alliance
of two party organizations, which has not
been brought about by the personal ambition
or the private cupidity Of leaders The speech
in which Mr.. Tilden opened the deliberations
OF the Democratic Convention gave in brief
