Cu1cAGo. Aug. 29.-The Inter- Ocean pub
lishes the following:
NEW YORK, Aug q, 1872.
MY DEAR SIR: / was and am in favor
of the Louisville movement. Even the
mere profession of adherence to Democra-
fic ideas must soon disappear, if without
cur marked dissent the party can be trans =
ferred to its deadliest foe.
(Signed.) ~ CHARLES O'CONNER.
BRIDGEPORT, CONN, Aug. 28.-Greeley
addressed vast impTOmptu crowd to-day.
He said: "In this great gathering / re-
ceive as something which forty years OF
active and earnest life may possibly have
in some measure invited, but which did
uotanticipate. Allow me, then, when L re.
ceive it as evidence of personal good will,
and in some measure of confidence, to make
a single remark with reference to one as
pect of the great struggle now going on in
our country. Strategy in politics is the trlb-
ute which craft pays to strength. The wolf
skin proving too short, the foX's tail is
pressed into service to piece it out. Laugh
ter and cheers. You see at this day great
party struggling to avert defeat by distract
ing and breaking up the host which is OPP
posed to it. You would not have Federal
officeholders working SO hard to get up
third ticket if they did not feel sure that
between the two tickets already in the
field the verdict was against them. Cheers
and cries of Right, old boss. An effort
then to distract the host on our side is a
confession of despair, as such receive it
the confession remains. The despair is not
likely to pass away" Applause.
WORCESTER, MASS, Aug. 29.-Thomas
Talbot was nominated for Lieut.. Govern
m fpH
Nine hundred and fifty delegates, of whom
two hundred and fifty-nine voted for But
Ter. A resolution accepts and ratifies the
platform and nominations of the Phila-
delphia Convention; eulOgiZeS the Nation
al Administration for it's home and
foreign policy; declares the treatment of
Southern States, during and since the war,
characterized by unparalleled moderation,
clemency and magnanimity and repudi-
ates the pretentions of the Democratic par
ty and its recent recruit, that they are par
tsans of new policy of reconciliation, as
utterly disproved by the records of the
past twelve years, and an unworthy at
tempt, for the sake of supposed political
advantage, to fasten reproach upon the
fair fame of the country. se .+

WHEELING, w. VA, August 29.-The In
teLIiqencer has corrected reports from FORTY
six counties, most of them official, which
give Gov. Jacobs a majority of 3,206. Re-
ports on the Constitution from forty-one
counties give majority of /, 900 for ratifi-
cation. Eight counties are yet to be heard
from on the Governor and thirteen OH the

and increase the majority for the Constitu-
