AS to the political situation 1t Is difficult for
rail or even sojourning at watering place for
short while TO gather much data on which to
found conclusion, and hence am at loss
to give definite opinion. bis county, under
stand, has always gone Republican. and there
are two daily papers here-the Daily Sarato-
glan, which is strong for Grant, and the Sara
toga Sun, which is for Greeley and Brown. A
bad impression is being made by the stories
which daily come out In the New York Times
and other papers OF that kind, to the effect that
Greeley has had an understanding with the
Democrats, and particularly with those OF the
South, to restore the constitution Of 1860, re-
pudiate the amendments and burst up the car
pet-bag governments In the South. How any;
man In bis senses could believe such extrara-:
CANT aosurditles I cannot imagine, but 1t is
nevertheless true there are great many 'peo.
pie here who say they can't go Greeley for
that reason. One of these absnrditjes is
printed in the New York Times of the 10th
inst., and processes 10 have been extracted
from the Weekly Caucasian, published at
Lexington, KY, which flies the names of
Greeley and Brown at Its masthead, and is as
follows:
"State sovereignty; white supremacy and
repudiation. This is liberty. Our motto:
Never despair of the R.pubIc. Our plat
form: The Consultation of 1860 and the rights
OF the States. Our doctrines: This Ia white
mans government, made by white men for
white men and Lheir posierity forever. Down
with the fifteenth amendment. Total repu-
dialion OF the monstrous Yankee war debt.
Down with bondholders and taxation. Down
With the satraps. Equal taxation and the
rightful representation of oil the States, or
ANOTHER REBELLION" &c.
Whether 1t be true OF not hat the Cauca-
sian ever conceived any such exlravsgant
notions or not, 1t Is quite certain old honest
Horace Greeley will never commit himself to
any such platform, nor do We cft the South want
him 10 do 80. We. are willing to admit, and
have over and over again admitted, the '1situ-
atlon," and all we ask is an honest and eco-
nomical administration OF the government
under the present fundamental status of af.
fairs.
Ia connection with The fact OF Greeley being
the nominee OF the Democratic party for Pres.
ident, good story Is told of Livingstone, who
has been buried from the affairs OF the west
ern part of the world in the wildR of Africa for
the past six or seven years. When Stanley
went 10 see him, after the usual salutations
and courteses had been finished, he told hin
Of the collapse Of the Southern Confederacy,
The assassination Of Lincoln, the administra.
tion and attempted impeachment OF johnson,
the election Of Grant Ia 1868, the renomina-
tlon of Grant 10 1872 and. the nomination OF
Horace Greeley by the Democratic party, when
he put on an air oi the most perfect incredulI-
ty, and said: sTbat the Southern Confederacy
has been defeated, that my old friend Lincoln
has been murdered by the hands of an assas.
sin, that Johnson succeeded to his Office, that
General Grant was elected President In 1865
and that he has been renominated In 1872,
can believe; but though am not given 20
using bad language, yet when you tell me that
Horace Greeley has been nominated for Presi-
dent of the United States by the Democratic
party, I will be id if 1 believe one word of
itw s. A. N.
