TUE Georgia State Convention has

FOR partisan stupidity. A committee OF

upon one State electoral ticket, in ac.

Baltimore Convention, agreeing to yield
to the Democratic element that prepon-
derance upon the State ELECTORAL ticket,
which their strength entitled them.
Their communication was sensible and
IN admirable spirit.
The Convention when it met reported
through its business committee" in
favor Of inviting everybody to cooper

to the Liberals to "harnonizo" by ac'
cepting the Democratic ticket without
representation on it. The action of the
Liberals was far more patriotic and gen

We are unable 10 appreciate the liber
ality Of the invitation to unite with the
Democracy without such recognition
We are determined, however, that W,

Gen. Banks goes with Summer.

The telegraph informs us that Gen.
y. T. Banks, of Massachusetts,, declines
the questionable honor Of addressing a
Grant meeting, and declares his deter
mination to support Homce Greeley.
Among the thousands wlo Nre desert
ing Grant. Gen. Banks deserves special
mention. Like Mr.. Sumner lis or
thdory as a Republican has never been
questioned his ability and influence
as leader OF public opinion in his see
ton are beyond disputc--and though
hu will now mqucstionahly be dchonnc-
cd as "unworthy Of confidence" he has
been universally esteemed as ono Of the
most respectable men Of hia party, mth-
Ell in or ont Of Congress, His detection
next to that of Sumner is the scyerest
blow Graut has received in New Ecrg-
land, aud, indeed, the personal influence
of Gen, Banks is greater even than that
OF Sumner.
The determination Of Gen. Banks to
support Mr. Greeley seems to have been
as deliberately formed rs YVES that cf
Mr.. Shmnel il fact, they seem 10 have
intcrchanScd views and surveyed the
field together. A Washington special
to the Boston Post, Of the 2Sth u!t.,-
two days before The appearance of Mr..
Summers letter give the following:
/ General Bauks who arrived hero this
morning, dined with Senator Sumner
this afternoon, after which they drove
into the country. On their return Mr..
Sumner accompanied the General to the
railroad depot, and the latter left on the
9 O'Clock train for Boston. Iu ConyCr-
sation with IN acquaintance to. day,
General Banks expressed emphatically
his belief that Greeley will be elected
President. Although Mr.. Banks has
not "dcfned" his political position, at
least not in an emphatic manner, it is
very well known that his regard for
President Grant is little if any greater
than that of Senator Sumner. 4 x
General Banks opposition is explained
to be actuated by his disbelief in the
! Governments existing foreign policy
particularly regarding the West India
question. He has frequently declared
III private, NLd threatened TO do tho
same in public, that the interests Of The
Cuban patriots we're sacrificed for the
purpose Of advancing the not yet dead
San Domingo scheme. Unlike Gcnera
Butler, General Banks has remained
from the outset consistent friend o.
the Cuban republic, end did not deselt
it when the San Domingo proposition
was broached under the PLAUSIBLE as
sertion thpt one port in tho West Indies
under control of the United States woull
be of more advantage to our countr,

A colorad Greeley and Brown Club
was organized at indianapolis, few
evenings ago. The members have is
sued an address calling upon their breth-
rem to rally to tie support "of their hfe-
long aud staunchest friend, Horace Gree

would be a. base act Of ingratitude to &c

Greeley has been for tho last forty years
He stood firmly by us when it cost some
thing so TO stand, and now we will stanc
by him.

The New York Herald publishes in
teresting letters from DR.. Livingstone,
transmitted to it by its correspondent,
Stanley, who processes to have received
them from the great and long-lost ex-
plorer. Nevertheless, there are persons
who still doubt whether Stanley has
seen Livingstone, or been twenty miles
from the seacoast into Africa. The Oma-
ha Bee say he formerly resided in that
place, and would sit in his room and
write the most glowing accounts Of ex-
cursions all over this continent, and ac.

Thinking of You.

But in spite of myself aud of fate,

The language Of passion is sweet,
And it fails on the soul like th3 dew,
But | know it but lures to deceive,
Then why am thinking Of you!
Could fy frcm this wilderness world,
To a heart that was loving and true,
Could live all my life ny your side,
would live and die thinking Of you.
But | know when season had passed
You would fly to love that was new,
And |, in my sorrow fOrSaken,
Should ever be thinking of you.
The chaplet alone love should weave
Is amaranth, fadeless and blue,
But yours is of roses that wther,
And the roses are mingled with true.
| have suffered too c.piy already,
My brow with such wreath to endue
Lay it low at the feet Of another,
For will have done thinking of you.

When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the heavier blow.
For luck is work,

Should not lament their doom;
But yield the play,

That better men have room.

present information, Mr.. Palfrey was removed
because Of serious irregularities in the perform
ance OF his official functions, through which he
coutriyed to obtain larger share of the pro-
ceeds of forfeited goods than he was regu-
larry entitled to. An impartial reader would
and the removal was a plain duty, certainly
no occasion for censure. But the Tribune was
not to be so readily deprived of its opportunity.
Its resources were quite equal to its task Of find
ing new material for a TRADE against the admin
istration in facts which to a candid mind would
seem to deserve approval. Tho truth in regard
tie Mr.. Palfrey had been known, it says, to the
treasury department for some time; the only
reason why he was not sooner removed was that
it was hoped the necessity for it might be avoid
eG without too much scandal, and thus the in
fiuence of his paper, the Salem Register, might
be retained for the administration. Then fol-
lowed, of course, another sneer at the presi-
dents zeal for civil service reform. What the
truth may be in regard to MIR. Palfrey we do not
know any more than the editor of the Tribune
cares. What we do know and what the Greeley
organ-grinderis pleased with is that out of one
act of the administration he has coutrived to
make material for two attacks upon the presi-
dent. One day he denounces him for removing
the collector at all, and a few days after he is
equally savage because the same officer was not
removed sooner

The London Daily News Of June 81, In COM
mentng upon Mr.. Disraeli's conduct during the
Alabama negotiations, pays him the following
tribute: eve do not suppose that Mr.. Disraeli
would grieve very deeply if any blunders in the
conduct of the American negotiations should
open the way TO his return to power, but it is
only fair to admit that he has never shown in
himself, nor encouraged in his followers, any
disposition TO embarrass the conduct of affairs
for any merely factious purpose. Mr.. Disraeli
has always shown, both by seasonable speech
and by timely'silence, q strong and operative
sense Of the value, not only of peace and dip
lomatically good understanding between Eng
land and the United States, but of cordial and
friendly feeling between the two nations. Dur
ing the great struggle which terminated eight
years ago, not a single angry or sighting word
escaped his lips; and the spirit which animated
him during the war has evidently actuated him
during the diplomatic controversies of the past
five months"
