TIE EouRTu DISTRICT.

One of the most intelligent Republicans
residing in the Fourth district, gentleman
who has unusual facilities for being tho
roughly acquainted with the sentiments of
the Republicans in all parts of that dis
trict, has given US full statement of the
situation there as to the Stowell- Porter
contest. We have not space to publish his
statement in full, but it gives conclusive
evidence that the Hon. w. II. II. Stowell,
the regular nominee, will receive the vote
of the entire district. The people every
where are opening their eyes to the tue
issues involved, and many men who were
disposed to support Porter at first, are now
coming in crowds to the support of the
regular nominee. In some instances clubs
organized in the interest of Porter have
come over in body to Stowell.
In other parts of the district, heretofore
controlled by Porter, the people are coming
brayely up to the :" truth, that makes them
free" of Porter and all his arts. Herea(te,
they will be the warmestsupporters of Mr.
I
Stowel. Indeed, Porterism will prove
greater fizzle than even Greeleyism has

THE New York World has dropped polit-
ical mathematics and taken to polical bot
any. 1t says with admirable sententious-
ness, that " latitude and climate must be
considered in politics, as well as in vegeta-
tion." So it goes into the political gar
den-sas" business, and puts down New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New
Jersey and Missouri for Greeley. The
climate of Vermont and Maine is too chilly
for rank growth Of Liberalism.
1t is necessary to hunt for Greeley
"greens" in lower ATTITUDES. North Caro-
lima is too far south. Vegetation willis
there in summer, and is likely TO dry up il
autumn. The lFoald reckons on "deat
beats" everywhere, but suceulent vegeta
bles, real Liberal cabbage-heads, Demo
cratic "paratas," Sore-head squashes
Teutonic turnips, Copper-head gourds, anc
sentimental string-beans, must be sough
in the Central States. There is "mor
talk than cider" in the prophesy of tn
despairing Coalitionists.

SUPPORT THE REGULAR NOMINEE

1t is difficult to believe that there is any
thing in the old Democratic party of this
country that we can approve. Yet there is
one principle, or measure of policy, of that
party which the Republican party has in
large measure inherited from it. 1t was
policy which gave the Democracy its con-
tinued success in the country, and enabled
it to hold the rens of the general govern.
ment almost uninterruptedy for forty
years. And that is the principle and good
policy of al'cays supporting the regular
nominees. And that was right. How are
we to defeat the enemy who presents
solid frontat the ballot-box, unless we also
move in solid column
1t has been the custom from The forma-
ton of the Republican party to hold con-
vcntonS to determine among the several
aspirants for position who shall be sup
ported by the peo pie. And it has ever
been matter Of personal honor with every
aspirant to bow to the will of the party as
expressed through its regularly constituted
conventions. The people will always re-
cognize merit and worth, and if any of our
leaders are uniustly treated before con-
vention-and that rarely if ever occurs
the matter will surely be righted, and that,
too, within very short time. The more
gracefully such leader yields, the more
surely and swiftly will follow his recogn:-
ton and reward.
But how should the people treat man
who, after submitting his claims to nomi-
mating convention, refuses to abide its de-
cision, and sets himself up as boiling Of
independent candidate, to distract the mind
Of honestvoters, and divide the party al
the polls? In such case there is but on
course for every honest Republican to pur
sue, and that is to put the brand Of haao
upon The brow of every such would-b
leader, and refuse to recognize him excep
as an enemy of his party. He shoul'
have no countenance or support in his mis-
chievous designs. He and all his support
ers should be treated as aliens, who hav
deliberately placed themselves outside tn
pale of the party, and hence are no longe
entitled to recognition as Republicans.
In district overwhelmingly Republ
can we need fear nothing from the Demo
Gratis, but we have all to fe ar from thes
traitors among us, who from purely selfis
motives, are seeking to divide and distract
Let the people be warned in time, and this
our greatest danger, will be averted. BIZ
} when the danger is past let us not forg'
, those who have misled the people. AS
{ the deluded followers, if they repent, let |
forgive, but for the selfish and criminal leat
ers in the revolt against party organization
: there should be no forgiveness. The peop
. will never trust them, and none will di
4 pise them more than those they are no
| humbugging into their support. Let Dol
ers beware of an outraged and indignal
constituency.

and by the same convention hat nominated
tie Hon. w. II. III. Sto,ceH as on regular
candidate for Congress ! If there is any
thing that can prove the hollowness of the
pretensions Of Porter and his followers it
is this. The fact is, the whole disguise is
too brn. The people are not going to be
humbugged. Porter is really aiding the
Greeleyites, and the people see it. 1t is
matter of grave doubt whether or not
