Reasons For Supporting Mr..
Greeley.

General D. II. Hill, ofNcrth Carliua, broth
or-iu-law Of the immortal Stoncwall jackson,
himself tried and true man, who viii long be
remembered as ths soldier who was first to
confront the armies Of the North and to resist
their invasion Of Virginia, on the plains of
Bethel, gives the following reasons for sup
porting Greeley on principle" lie says:
Eve 10 not take Dir. Greeley from policy,
but from principle We take him because he
is with Us in oil the essential principles which
are involved in The Presidential contest lie Is
opposed 10 Catpet-bag-ism. IIc is opposed
to military rule aid Tie persecution Of tie peo-
pie. lie is opposed TO the thiegish rings
which bankrupt the masses 10 enrich the
roSues. he is opposed to extravaganza in ad-
ministerins the government and high taxes
upon the people. lie is opposed to two terms
in the Presidential ofice-the first term being
employed in bribing the way with stolen mon
ey for second term. lie is opposed to
squanderiug the public domain upon tho swim
dlefs who biibe the President and Congress to
pass iniqui,ous railroad bills. lie is opposed
to putting incompetents into office even should
they DO kin to President lie is opposed to
making Poland Of the South, and in favor of
winning our people by the law Of kindness
In brief, on al the living issue Of tho hour,
Mr. Greeley and The South arc in perfect &C
cord. His platform and his letter embrace all
which We can now attend. II is because Of
this agree meut in principle that we accept him
as our leader, and not because Of any low views
Of policy and eNpodiency
The Radical candidate has but two ideas
in his head The first is to get richer still by
gifts from btibe-gvcrs. The second is to de-
grade, humjliate aud ruin the Southern peo-
pie. We oppose him on principle, and we ia
yOT the man whose personal honesty is above
suspicion, aud whose heart is biz enough to
feel for the wrongs and outrages committed
upon the States lately in rebellion"

proved Of Ahs 'aw, which Grant and his sub
scrvicut Judges thus execute. Well, that may
be; we do not pretend 10 know all that Mr..
Greeley has approved, nor to approve what he
may have done. We are not concern
ns ourselves with his past, it is lis present
End future that interest US. We know he is
opposed 20 this whole system Of tyranny now.
Twelve months ago, after visiting the South

features in his programme was the deliyorance
ci the South from the presence Of the thiev-

Judge Davis Retires.

This gentleman tsays the Lyachbtrg Fir-
giniaa) tho nominee of the Labor Reformers,
who was also candidate for the Cincinnati
nomination, retircs from the canvass. Al
though lie docs not go ont OF his way to de-
clare fer Greeley, the whole tenor Of bis letter
is to this effect. The Judge says that he re-
garded the movement at Columbus as "the
initiation of policy and purpose to unite the
various political elements in compact oppo-
sitiou," and adds " consented to the use OF
my name before the Cincinnati Convention,
when q distinguished citizen of New York was
nominated" As he was not nominated and
Mr. Greeley was, he deans it proper to re-
tire absolutely from the Presidential contest.
As au honorable man, having first submitted
lis claims at Cincinnati, he abides in good faith
the result of that decision aud will doubtless
support Greeley. And thus the elements of
opposition 10 Grant arc combining.

Contest Between LongfelloW and
Harry BaSsett.

LONG BRANCH, July 2.-At the sale of the
pools, Bassett brought 81 800 and Longfollow
$1,000. Subsequently Bassett brought ST.
900 and Longfellow 81 200. The excitement
was at fever heat. LongfeIlow was winner by
twenty Iengths-timo 4S4.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RACE.
But little difficulty was Experienced in effect
ing start, and the horses got away together,
Bassctt having the inside track For the first
half milc they ran head and head, the only ad-
vantage if any, being in favor of Dassott. AS
the horses warming iuto their stride, passed
the grand stand, the excitement rose to fever
pitch. The first mile aud half found their
positions unchanged, but the hackers of Bassctt
evidently had misgivings, as their favoritc
was doing his best, while it seemed Longiel-
low was still being held in by his rider Their
fears were confirmed when the horses swept
past the grand stand the second time. Long
fellows ridor gave head to his horse, who gal
lantly responded, and quickly placed two
lengths between himself and Bassett.
The scene was indescribablo. Men threw
their hats in the air and cheered wildly, while
ladies waved handketchicfs and bet countless
pairs of gloves on john Harpers steod From
this moment it was evident all was up with
Bassctt, and although lis rider used whip and
spur without stint, it was of no avail. Every
moment LoDgfellow increased his lead, and
landed an easy winner in 4.9i, or, as some Of
the judges claim, in 4.S3. BAssett was beaten
over a dozen lengths. The enthusiasm Of the
Western lhch was unboanded They crowd
cd around John Harper, chccfing and congrat-
ulatius the old man, who also seemed laLorns
under great excitement. Immense sums were
lost on the race by New Workers. John Nor
rissey is among the heavy losers. The day 5
races are acknowledged the finest and best
conducted Of the American turf

concilng them to the stern logic of events,

Charlestown, July 2nd.
Governor Seymour, in a short address, al
luded to the objects of the society which had
adopted the name Of the great Indian Sachem
He then spoke of the political situation, saying
that the democracy, true to its traditions and
instincts, always had adopted, and always
should adopt, such course as would, taking
all things into consideration, best tend to pro-
mote the success of its cardinal principles
These principles were substantially embodied
in the Cincinnati platform, and the candidates
of the Cincinnati Convention had unreservedly
committed themselves 10 carry out, TO the best
of their ability, the principles there cnunciated
If these candidates could thus warmly embrace
aud pledge themselves TO support democratic
principles, il, perhaps, would be splitting hairs
TO cavil about their antecedonts. A political
crisis had arrived, and when honest men met
the democracy more than half way, and ex-
tended their hands with the expressed pur-
pose OF endeavoring to cement anew the ties of
true nationality based upon the principles of
brotherly love and JUSTICE, it appeared to him
more than churlish to refuse the olive branch
thus rendered A large majority Of the demo-
cratic leaders and of the papers protesting to
be opponents of democratic opinions, had, as
had been aptly stated, accepted the situation,
it seemed to be forvgone conclusion that the
work commenced at Cincinnati would be en-
dorsed at Baltimore. If such should be the
result, he had no objection to make, but, on
the other hand, would heartily cooperate to
make a success what from present appearan-
ces, seemed to be the spontaneous determina-
ton of the democratic masses--the. election Of
the Cincinnati nominees on the Cincinnati plat
form. Governor Seymour was onthusiastical
ly appauded. "
