THE ACT OF DIsHONoR.

The Sunday Capital, Greeley paper at
Washington City, in reference to the nc
ton Of the Baltimore National Convention
md the nomination of democratic candi-
date there, says: "Will the democratic
party do very foolish and shabby thing,
because the way seems open TO win by an
act Of dishonor?' II admits that the dem
ocraic party BY no formal not had pledged
itself to support the nominee of tho Con-
vention, hut avows that many prominent
democrats went TO that convention, en-
courngel the movement and pledged them
selves not to allow democratic ticket to
he nut in the field. We should like to
know who these cable and honorable dem
ocrats, referred to, are, and by what right
they undertook to sell out the democratic
party and make pledges for it. Able they
may be, but honorable pish If they real ly
did this thing which we do not credit
And now it seems, that If We, the true de-
mocracy of the country, choose to exercise
our undoubted right to nominate candi-
date for President, representing our prin-
ciples, il will be "an act of lishonor." Ou.
upon such stuff The extract which we
have given, Is taken from the Washington
correspondence Of the n. Y. Tribune, and
is published approvingly. If "hones'
Horace expects to get democratic support
by such talk MS this, lie will find out his
mistake very soon. But this is specimen
of the means rcsortcd to by the Greeley
papers 20 whip the democracy into his sup
Yo;i. The noble Voorhees, is called n trait
or 10 bis party because be is not for Greeley,
n republican candidate, and radical,
dyed in the wool up to q month ago, and q
man, who even now claims to 10 n better
republican than Grant. Life long demo
Gratis are accused of being bought up by
Grant because they are not for Greeley.
Editors, but lately connected with radical
papers, prate about disloya'ty to the dem
ocralic party by opposing Greeley, when
the party, as yet, has not acted, has held
no Convention and made no nominations.
Are We 10 suffer this without remonstrance?
Surely moi. If the democracy, in the full
light of all the circumstances and after, n
calm consideration of the matter, choose
not to make any nomination, we shall sub
nit TO this determination, and take our
choice Of evils, with heavy heart, and
praying earnestly foc something good to
grow out of it, which we con not sec at
present, but we protest against all this
Misrepresentation, and haunting, and fore
ing, and talk about "dishonor," if the de-
mocracy do not stand up to n nomination,
made by Theodore Tilton, Gov. Pease, Gov.
Warmo,h and Morgan Hamilton. If it
suits such men, how c.n it suit us Some
body will be descicvcl. ~

The SECOND VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE OF

Machine the FIRST Premium, for the Best
Family Sewing Machine, at the Grand
State Fair of 1871, aud six First Premiums
for Best Machine Stitching, double the
number awarded any other machine.)-
Notwithstanding the great efforts OF our
competitors to disparage the perfection OF
our machines, the public and the Fair As

their convictions when opportunity offers,

chase and awdrd Of the committees. The sale

awards received from the Fair Associa-

Should have been, but the number exclud-

- Throckmorton for Congress.

Now that, by the passage of the amnesty
bill, the disabilities of Gov. Throckmorton
have been removed, we again call public
attention to the fact of his eminent fitness
for representing the State of Te xas in the

will be one of The two candidates selected
by the State Convention at Corsicana for

largely democratic than any other, and,
although we have many men of fine abili-
ty and much promise within the limits of
this Congressional District, we can think
of no one, who could unite so many voices
in his favor as Gov. Throckmorton, or
provo so acceptable to the people of every

be just rebuke to the powers that be, to
send him to Washington, there to confront

wickelly and tyrannically made use of the
military arm to drive him and others from

Singular Apparition Of a Child.

Mrs. Patterson, of this city, wife
of Mr.. James Patterson, one Of the
old heroes of tho Texas revolution,
was the subject ola remarkable Wis
itation last Monday night, which
borders on tho marvellous to say
the least. She awoko and saw w.
ing on tho farther side of the bed
What appeared to be young girl.
The room was light enough for her
to distinguish tho features perfect
~, even to tho color of her eyes and
hair, and she at once recognized
the child as one she thought much
of in Eastern Texas. She was wide
awake as she says, and scanned the
figure several minutes, when she
arose, got match, keeping her
eyes on tho object until she struck
u light, when it suddenly vanished.
The strangest part of the story is
that about nine o'clock tho next
morning q letter was taken from
the post-ofiicc, addressed to her,
which, on opening, contained the
intelligence of the death Of the lit
tic girl whose apparition she be.
liovos she saw tho night before,
with the statement that the child
expressed an earnest dcsire that
her friends in Austin should be in.
formed that she was going to die,
and hoped TO meet them IN Hcav-
en-.
Tho coincidence of tho vision
and death are truly remarkable
We have every reason to believe
that tho above statement is in cve-
ny respect truthful, as wo have it
from lady who received it from
tho venerable lady herself. Mrs.
Patterson has had similar export
cnces on several occasions.--AuS-
