Tho Receding Wave.

All new. strange and startling movements,
like the conspiracy of office-seckers and Dem
ocrats to elect Horace Greeley President, do
the best at the start. If they fail then, it is
pretty certain that they will not ultimately
succeed. 1t is only few weeks since the
Democratic allies were boldly claiming that
they should reduce the Republican majority
in Vermont to 5000 and carry Massachusetts
and Maine! Nay, they went so far as to con-
cede to Gen. Grant only three States, anu
some of them only one! Three State elec-
tions have since occurred, in all OF which the
Republicans have succeeded beyond thelr
most extravagant expectations! Instead oil
annihiating the Republican majority IN YER
mont, or gaining over an alarming per cent.
of it. .r even reducing it, the Democracy
mffer the unspeakable humiliation of seeing
the figures of 1868 almost attained. They
have long since given up Maine, and are now
holding the Republicans to the necessity OF
gaining a majority of fifteen thousand. Sc
much has the wave already receded! If now,
at the very beginning of actual work when
the Greeley plot is fresh, new and attractive,
and when there has been little rush for ii
by disappointed office-seekers and adven-
turers all over the country-if now the
Blair-Fenton combination prospers so little
and falls so far short, what, in heavens name,
will be its fate hereafter when its weakness
has been proved in the sight of everybody
Into what depths will it fall under the COM
bined influence of the Louisville convention
and the desertion of squad, of ofce-seekers
who now see that success is not to be looked
for where they expected it?

ABUSING THE PEOPLE OF MAINE.-It i,
evident that the Chicago TriJune's man whose
duty it is to keep up the courage of the Coali-
tionists in regard to Maine, apprehends that
his work is about over, and so he spends his
time in abusing the people of this State. He
thinks they do not know enough to go for
Greeley! Says this great intellect:
1.-THE contrast with the open air meetings of
the South and West, and the joint discussions
where each speaker must be careful and exact
lest he be tripped up, is as marked as is the
loW order of Intelligence to which the most I'M
blushing, mountain-high imposture of the
Grant demOgogues is a godsend. The address
to the negroes of the South, low as they often
are, are fully equal in tone to those heard
pitched for the edfication Of a Bangor audi
ence; and if the people who applauded Wilson
and Harlan are to have the ballot, it would GER
tainly seem hard to deny it to the negroes, or
anybody indeed that happens to want it..

Patrick Dolan, the editor of the Caucasian,
published in Louisville, KY, was the first man
to advocate Horace Greeley for the Prssiden-
cy. long before his name had been mentioned
elsewhere for the position. Long before his
nomination Mr.. Greeley wrote Dolan q letter,
which satisfied him that Mr.. Greeley is the
man who will best carry out these principles
which are printed at the head of its column,
just as reproduced here:
