What do These Things Meanq

What did Horace Greeley mean,i in
his letter from Memphis to the New
York Tribune of June 8th, last year
written on the Sd of thatmonth, when
he said:
81 am confident that two-thirds OF
the men, with nine-tenths of the Wo-
men, who formerly composed the
slave-holding caste, would this day
give half their houses and lands to
have their slaves back again, just as
they possessed them in 1902
They consider themselves robbed by
emancipation, and would like their
property back again or its value in
some equivalent"
And what did he mean by saying,
in the same letter, that "they" the
rebels
Propose to renew the fight, but
not with guns and saber. They ex-
pect to regain, as Democrats, through
elections, the power they lost as reb-
els through wal"
And what did he mean when, in the
same communication, speaking of the
colored vote, he stated that
"They will seek to cOerce enough of
it into voting the Democratic ticket
to give them a majority of the South
ern electoral vote for next President"
And what does the following extract
from the speech of Gov. Brown, of
Tennessee, at a recent Greeley ratif-
cation meeting at Nashville, mean?
"He supported Greeley because he

Foster is badly frightened at the nomina-
ton Of Sloane, and is now begging Democrat
ic votes, and telling the falsehood that Mr..
Sloane was a candidate before the last Clyde
Convention for Congress, and that he was a
Grant Republican at that time. Which is all
untrue, as Mr.. Sloane, SO far back as the 9th
of June, pledged himself to work for and sup
port the anti-Grant candidate for Congress in
this District, whether it was a Democrat or
Liberal Republican. The only candidates be-
fore the Grant Congressional Convention at

Myers is beguiled-has been ever
since he stuck on vulgar fractions at
the Convention in this city. Now
he sticks on anything The facts in
relation to the above assertion are
that less than a week before theClyde
Convention Sloane declared on the
streets of Sandusky to prominent
Republicans that if they would not
re-nominate Foster he would stick
by the Republican nominations, but
if they did he would go with the De-
mocrats. That's Sloane.
Not only did he do this, but he
wrote threatening letters to Foster,
demanding that he should withdraw,
or else he would pour out the vials
of his wrath upon him and defeat
his election. That's Sloane.
The way he means to do it is to
concentrate thousand or so labor
ers along the line of his railroad, be-
tween Tiffin and5 Sandusky, and
about the work shops in Sandusky,
and vote them early and often. That's
Sloane.
His wind work is in good order,
and his desires are great, but he
buckleth his armor on in haste and
doth not look well to the joints. An
arrow enters his wind bag and he is
collapsed in a moment. That's
Sloane. Look out for very dimin-
utive, much abused and forlorn look

Another SANDER Against General
Grant Refuted.

Boston, August 22.-The Boston
Journal tomorrow, will publish the
following letter from Senator Will
son:
NATIcK, August 21st 1872.
Rev. G. w. Dennison.
Sir:-I have just read in the Spring
field Republican of this date, your
letter on the drinking habits of Gen
eral Grant. am astonished at see
ing myself quoted as saying to you
in conversation last winter, 'Pres-
ident Grant drinks too much; have
told him So" Senator Wilson you
say, will not deny this. l do deny
in the most emphatic language, that
I have ever said anything of the kind
to you, or anything that resembled
it. Your statement is unqualifedly
false. During the last nine years 1
have seen General Grant hundreds
of times. I have seen him in his
camp, in his family, at his own table,
at the table of others, at home and
abroad, and 1 have never seen him
under the influence of Intoxicating
liquors.
l remember distinctly our CONVEX
sation when YOU referred to the SLAM
der concerning the Presidents
drinking habits. l ssid to you what
1 have said to others, that 1 regretted
that the President used Intoxicating
liquors at all; that l wished he would
take the pledge, and that 1 had
mind to ask him to join the Congress
ional Temperance Society. What 1
said of the President, said Of all
our public men who use Intoxicating
drinks, or furnish them to others.
1 have for many years felt that if our
public men would wholly abstain
from their use as a beverage, they
would confer lasting benefits upon
their country, and upon their race.
Nor have any doubt, sir, that if the
truth could be known in regard to
the cases referred to in your singular
ly reckless statements, it would ap-
pear that each one of them was a
cruel and malignant slander.
(Signed) H. WILSON.

ONE WILLIS, of North Carolina,
trumped up a claim of $4,000
against the Government, and presen-
ted it with the assurance that he and
his were influential persons, who
could materially assist in the cleo
tion of Gen. Grant. But the depart
ment couldn't see it in that light,
and sent the necessary forms for
Willis to fill out and swear to.
Willis couldn't swear, and then he
found out that the government was
a sectional one, and the South only
tools. He now goes for Greeley and
Brown, under whom he expects to
achieve his swindle.

viii give another dose.-Messenger.
In making the assertion that we
changed the term respectable to
prominent, the editor of the Messen-
ger is guilty of deliberate falsehoOd.
The word prominent was in both
items, as Van must know, if he
read the first item at all or will take
trouble to refer to it. AS to the
names given above, the statement is
absolutely false as regards two OF
them; of the others we have not
taken the trouble to inquire. Ifthey
are Greeley men now, they will be
ashamed to own it three months
hence. But Mr.. Pero pronounces
VANS assertion a lie, and Captain
Skinner is as stout a Grant man as
navigates the lakes, and keeps his
colors flying at his mast head.

CHARLES FOSTER has always been an enemy
to Fremont. 1t is well known that for years
be has used every exertion to keep back the
building of the Lake Erie d Louisville Rail-
road Had Mr.. Foster remained one of the
controlling spirits of the road it would never
be finished. Foster is Foster man and moth
ing else.-Aessengsr.
The above extract from the Mes
senger is one of those little malevo-
lent articles of which its editor is
capable. Yet, Notwithstanding the
assurance with which he makes the
statements therein, there is not one
word of truth in the article, nor the
shadow of a truth upon which to
base it.
Mr.. Foster has always been a
friend of Fremont, and as q friend
stepped in and purchased the bonds
of the L. Z. & LR. r., when Rush R.
Sloane was negotiating for the same
with the avowed intention, as he
will not deny, of taking up the rails
from Fremont, and running the road
from Kansas to Green Springs so as
to connect their with his road. BY
this act Mr.. Foster preserved the
road to Fremont, and it is to him a
debtor for the service. Only four
years ago this same Sloane, when he
was defeated for the congressional
nomination at Clyde, threatened to
foreclose 100000 bonds of the road
and take up the iron from Fremont
south, because the Sandusky County
Republicans would not support him.
But his rage was equally impotent
then as before, and Foster was too
much for him.
The excellent information of the
Messenger is equally at fault when it
charges Mr.. Foster with keeping
back the building of the road. On
the contrary, he has aided it and
it is as much owing to his assist
ance as any other cause, that the
road is now progressing to compile
tion.
Mr.. Foster never was an officer of
the road until the present gear, and
he is now Vice-President and a
member of the Executive Commit
tee. These facts negative every
assertion of the Messenger, and that
the road will be built through to
St. Marys the present year, is owing
in great measure to the fact that
he is now connected with its man
sgement.
The people of Sandusky county,
and particularly of Fremont, are
therefore, greatly indebted to his
good friendship for present and pros
pective prosperity. His friendship
is shown, further, by his securing a
liberal appropriation for the improve
ment of our river at the recent ses-
sion of Congress, and every citizen
who appreciates good services, will
remember him when he comes to
vote.
Sloane, on the contrary, would
have robbed us ofa railroad, and af-
ter he found himself defeated in that
he posted off to Washington and tried
to defeat an appropriation which
R. P. Buckland had secured for our
river, by getting an amendment at
tached to the bill in the Senate in IA
vor of Sandusky Har6or. He was
defeated in that matter by Gen Buck
land. And he will suffer the great
est defeat of his life on the Sth of
October next.
