dream Of beautiful time,
When the world shall happy be;
When elephants and hyenas
Shall blossom on every tree;
When tamarinds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar;
When turuip trees shall blossom
In the garden forevermore.
dream Of great republic,
Whose people shall all go West,
Sow plums and reap tomatoes,
In the Land they love the best;
Where pig-iron and molasses
Shall bloom on every hill.
And chickens low in the barn-yard,
While sooseberries toil at the mill
I'm weary of seeing the cabbage
Handle the rake and
I'm weary of watching and waiting
For the grasshopper bush to grow.
/ long for the time when spinach
Shall cope " ith bread and milk;
When hens shall lay tomatoes,
And horses spin raw silk.
oh, sweet were the vanished hours,
When l wandered ad0wn the glen,
And wreathed my brow with tomatoes,
Or plucked the rip-ned hen;
When the donkey twined mp the trellis,
And the cucumber chirpesl in the grass,
And the sweet potato whistled
To its mate in the mountain pass.
But gone are the days Of childhood,
And manhOods dreams are mine;
Yet long for the by-gOne hours,
As sit meath this turkey vine.
oh, wreathe your blossoms about me,
And soothe my aching breast,
While the gooseberry plaintively warbles,
And lulls ME into rest.

The CANDIDATES FOR PREsIDEST.-The action
Of the Democratic party on Friday puts another
formidable" candidate in the field for President.
For fear that the reader may lose sight of the
numerous seekers for the Office Of Chief Magis-
trate, we give the list, rs far Is heard from, as
follows:
Daniel Pratt, peripatetic.
George Francis Train, independent.
james Black, Temperance.
Judge David Davis, labor refomcr.
Horace Greeley, protection and free trade.
Victoria C. Woodhull, woman suffrage.
fthere are any candidates in the field who are
neglected in this list We shall be glad to add their
Pratt who we believe n the oldest candidate in
nomination. We may be allowed 70 say that the
Ereni.g Post is entirely impartial in its regard for
the candidates, and will do equal and exact 1ns-
tice to all. going 70 fnr even as :: refrs,n from

Colored men are not 20 rich in political infiu-

to throw either away upon men who, however ex-

ed child's schoolhonse in all the Gulf States, the
knife of the Ku-Klux assam is ready for the
throats ofthe colored men Of the South. Cincin-
nti holds out assurance Of protection from fire
and death. In fact, the Cincinnati movement
wrests the colored mans liberty from the custody
of the nation, the only power that cares for it,
and puts it into the hands of local governments
which would gladly destroy it, Can any colored
man mistake the meaning of that plank in the
Cincinnati platformf No; tie ime has not yet cont 9

freedom and progress Of five millions ofpeope, so

From the depths Of our soul entreat every
colored man to stand firmly by the Republican
flag, and by the men that party is bound to offer

GREELEY As PREsIDENT-Mr. Greeley thinks
he should be President. Fortunately the country
knows better than he. Let us see: A President
who would have mad the apostle Of French
Communism. A President who who would have
said at the commencement Of the rebellion, let the
South go i'm peace. A President who would have
ordered the generals "On to Richmond" only for
defeat. A President who wonld have rushed up
Niagara to go through the stupid farce of negotia
ting treaty Of peace between North and South,
with scalawag from Colorado as the principal
on the Southern side. A President who wonlih
have gone to Richmond to go upon jeff. Davis
bail bond. A President who would have bank
rupted the country by trying to force specie pay
ment. For the people, especially business men,
have not forgotten how, at the close of the war,
with gold away mp in the forties. Greeley used all
the force Of the 7ribmse to compel the government
to resume at once, crying daily: "The way to
reach resumption is to resume" If Greeley had
been where he could have carried ont his policy
then, he would have cost this country rs much
by financial disaster the war debt amounted to.

By the time this paper 10 issued, the work OF
the Philadelphia Convention will probably have
been completed. GRANT, from present prospects,
will be nominated almost unanimously. For Vice
President. the chances seem TO be in favor OF ei-
th.r corrAx or Senator WILSON, of Massachusetts,
Either would he satisfactory to the people, though
WILSON seems to be the favorite OF the Lsoof'ng
men, who are becoming an important element IN
politics. But CoIFAx is also recognized - . IL
horiup man. and friend of lsbOring men Col
rAx. We suppose, would be grati6ed BY IN en-
dorsement such a. . denomination would signhy'
but aside from that, he would not regret the nom
in.tion of WILSON instead of himself; for ne mas
freoueptIy expressed his desire to retire from Poi
itics.
GRANT is the choice Of the great of mass OF tne
people composing the Republican party. lnere
will he but very few Federal offce-holders IN the
Convention as Delepates Ambitious and disap-
,o;n,.d men in the Republican party, long ago saw
that cp.xr was the choice of large majority Of

,;.,J ,ta;r nrrferences to the whims of this small
mnoritv. or the latter would bolt, and defeat the
marty. This was why the Cincinnati Convention
was held-to force the party to abandon GRANT
TWAS upon the same principle that the South at
,empted to secede. and destroy the Government
because the majority Of the American people
would no longer listen to their dctation, but cleo
ted the man of their choice President. The Re
publican rebels will succeed no better than the
Democratic rebels did. GRANT will be reelected,
in spite of all they can do. Whether the Demo-
Gratis nominate ticket at Baltimore, or endorse
GREELEY, OF leave the question open, the result
will be the same, as to GRANTS election. II they
endorse GREELEY. or leave the question open
thousands of Democrats will vote for GRANT

u Latest reports from Philadelphia, up to the
time Of going to press, report animated contest
on the Vice Presidency. WILSON is said to have
gained great advantages; but the last report
showed change in favor of CoLFAx. and his
friends were confident of success. The telegraph
says letter from GRANT will be read at the Con-
vention, which will startle not only the dele
gates, but the whole country. 1t is not intmated
what the letter contains, and we can think Of
nothing startling except that he intends to with
draw, and recommend the nomination of GREELEY.

Foolish BETs.-Several absured bets are re-
corded as having been made upon the result of
the Connecticut election. One man offered to
carry another on his back from Hartford to New
Haven if the Democratic ticket was not tri-
umphant, and an idiotic enthusiast undertook to
eat two quarts of dried spples without drinking
a drop of water if the Republican candidate
not returned. Still another has Promised to eat
a pair of suspenders, and another is to go round
the city park at Hartford all fours if his flvo-
rite was defeated. But the widest forfeit yet IT,
mains untold. A Democratic voter engaged to
carry his Republican opponent on his back across
a rope stretched from honsetoP to housetop if the
Republican ticket should win the day, and to for
felt 81 600 if he falls himself or drops his com
panion. This is pleasant affair for both winner
and loser. What earthly benefit these tomfool-
cries accomplish passes conjecture, but We pre-
sume it would be interfering with the rights and
privileges of those independent and intelligent
voters if the attempt were made to prevent them
making donkeys of themselves.

EATING DIRr.-The st. Lsuis Dispatch has COM
meuced "bolting" its share of "humble pie" in
order to prepare for the support of Horace Gree
ley. The following is its first morsel:
"DID Nor WRITE THEM.-The fervid but fool
ish On to Richmond" articles, and the predic-
tions about closing the rebellion in ninety days,
which appeared in the New York Tribune during
the first six months of the war; have invariably
been ascribed to Horace Greeley. This, however,
is an error, well known TO he such by all journal
lists in New York. Mr.. Samuel Wilkeson, who
was then on the editorial staff Of the Tribune,
who wrote its war articles, and for whatever lack
ofdiscretion or foresight they exhibited, he, and
not Greeley, is to be blamed"
Before month shall pass every Democratic
paper in the land will confess that it has lied on
Horace constantly for the past twenty years.
But there is danger that they may overlO the
thing, because if they would defame one man,
they would be just as likely to misrepresent
another whenever motive is presented; and this
being the case, they are likely to destroy their
own credibility altogether.
