CAMPAIGN NOTES.

tE-Mr. Greeleyis not in debt, and yet his
lie-abilitles are very great.
tE-The New York Tribune Of the sth
says: 1--WE feel that Pennsylvania will not
be doubtful after to-day's election" And 1t
isn't.
t5y-Mr. Boutwell, says Mr.. Greeley asked
him, during the past three years and half
to do twelve things inconsistent with each
other and either Of which, done in the way
proposed, would be fatal to the business n
terests Of the country.
tsy- Bishop Simpson, in letter, says: VI
am not, and never have been, In favor OF Mr.
Greeley for President. If am spared, ex-
pect to vote for General Grant, believing that
our country needs an unchanged policy lot
four years longer"
rEy- The howl about reconciliation re-
minds a contemporary Of the child who went
bawllng up stairs and down, "Mai NAL su-
san won't pacify mel" Tradition afflrms
that the mother effected complete paciica-
tlon by vigorous use Of her slipper.
tE-The Troy Wing says there will be three
eclipses in November, this year, as follows:
"a very small eclipse Of the moon on the
night Of the 14th, visible; an annular eclipse
of the sun on the Goth, invisible in North
America and the total and permanent
eclipse OF the Democratic party on the 9th,
visible to oil men,"
~ Greeley said in February, 1851, "f
the slave States, the cotton States; or the
Gulf States, only choose to form an inde-
pendent nation, they haze a clear and moral
right to do So" II he, instead of Mr.. Lin
coin, had been In the Presidential chair,
rrnrlld QnntharTl CnnfadnTaqV have
become an accomplished factS
IW- The report that the Democrats elected
one member Of the State Senate in Maine is
incorrect. One Republican Senator in
Somerset County was Scratched" on a
local issue, but his Democratic opponent
did not get the votes, and, as all the ballots
are counted, and a majority of the whole
vote is required to elect, both candidates
| failed, and there is avacancy.
r3y Senator Patterson, of New Hampshire,
writes: 81 am strongly for Grants election
as against Greeley. There are reasons why
Greeley should not be elected which seem to
have been little discussed" The newspapers
Of to-day are not large enough to discuss
all the reasons why Greeley should not be
elected. The Senator should take space
into consideration.-Toled Blade.
sEy'7The New York Tribune of a recent
date says that the Philadelphia Convention
was composed of Federal office holders. The
Greeleyites all over the country persist in
this Misrepresentation. The fact is that
there were, all told, less than twenty Office
holders in that Convention. General Grants
| denomination was foregone conclusion,
| simply because the great mass of the nom
office holding people were and are enthusi-
astic in his support. That tells the whole
story.
.B-It seems almost impossible for the
New York Tribune to tell the truth nova
days. Not long since it came out with the
assertion that William NJ. Tweed had writ
ten letter to Justice Coulter, dissuading
the latter from taking part in a Greeley
meeting; and now this, like many other yarns
gotten up by the Tribune, is exposed as a
falsehood. Justice Coulter says he never re-
eeiyed such letter. The Triblane's object
In manufacturing the story was, of course,
| to convey an impression that Tweed was ac-
lively opposing Greeley.-Rochester Demo-
| crdt.
The Greeley telegraph agent Of
Georgia informs the world that the negroes
were the assailants in the election riot at
Macon but it also transpires that the
negroes and their friends were the only ones
| to get killed. This is a most curious and in
comprehensive result. We have noticed,
however, that "negro rutianism in the
South always has the same end. 1.-THE
negroes were thoroughly armed with guns,
razors, and hatchets," but they were killed
and wounded in dozens by the innocent and
unarmed rebels whom they attacked.
Strange fatality They were Thoroughly
armed" yet they fed from the polls and did
not dare to go and vote in the presence Of
the Confederate Quakers. This is called
intimidation by negroes. ."-Chiea9o Post.
