The old folly is already revived, of publish
ing, as an evidence of public feeling in relation
to Presidential candidates, votes taken at the
fashionable springs and watering places. The
worst places in the world to judge Of the opin-
ions Of the MASSES Of the people. If you want
to know what the people think, go to the Court
Houses, the warrant tryings, the shops the
farm houses, the places of business OF mechan-
les and mcrchants-not the springs at 81
per dem-and where champaign prevails, and
silks and satins rustic.

FRIDAY, JULY IL, 1872.

Those of our Democratic friends who nave
hesitated about supporting Mr.. Greeley DC
cause he had not received the nomination OF a
Democratic Convention, now have that scruple
removed He has been nominated by regu-
lar Democratic Convention, in which the party
was fully represented from every State IN the
Union. All the usages Of the party have been
observed. He should, therefore, have the I'M
divided support Of the party. Every man can
not be pleased exactly with the candidates
which his party may adopt. But if he desires
to see his party succeed, he should torcgo per
scnal preudices for the good of the cause, IN
such q case as this.
