Il A1CHil n. WISE, ~ uluCu IlOTc dTGo1lC COtu-
| edian, has time and again undertaken the
atrlcal coups of startling brsvodo and dex-
terity; consulting always his normal pas
sion, which is hate. Both have done their
fellow-man, their period and their section
limitless harm; and it is circumstance of
good omen that they are for Grant and
| not for Greeley.-Cotn ter Journal
Do We Want This.
Men who appear to have forgotten moth
ing and persist in learning nothing. ask
with an air of triumph, What viii we
gain by electing GreeleyY' This interroga-
| tory suggests that they do not feel the
pressure of Grant Government upon them,
crushing their energies and bGghting their
peace and happiness. They do not feel
that they are yet thoroughly pressed TO the
wall They have not yet reached that state
of6esperation which rejoices at any change.
| If they succeed in giving Grant four more
years of rule, they will then be able to de
termine what might have been averted by
electing Greeley. 1t is not difficult to state
| what will be gained by the election of him.
| 1t is more difficult to conjecture what We
| would escape by the defeat of Grant. By
the election of Greeley we would gain gen
eral amnesty, and not partial, as adopted
by Congress Just adjourned, n measure
that would overcome the animosities that
the policy of the Republican party has
kept alive and intensified; the breaking
up of the oppressive military rule IN the
South and the carpet-bag governments that
have disgraced the nation; 1T would bring
to an end the nepotism and fsyoritism that
have brought reproach upon this admins
tration, and dishonor, if not disgrace, upon
the country; it would stop the corruption
that has been developed in the custom
houses in New York, New Orleans, and
wherever there has been a chance tosstea6
it would stop San Domingo jobs, subsidies,
railroad grants and similar schemes. to rob
the Treasury or the public domain, to az
grandize and enrich partisans at thepablic
cost there would be no more whitewash-
ing of officials for robbing the Treasury
under any pretence, vide e.Robeson and 9th
ers; the policy of the administration would
aim to local selfgovernDent and not to
Capitalization, as now; the elvil authority
would be supreme over the military; the writ
of habeas corpus would be jealously up
held as the safeguard of personal freedom;
there would be no Federal supervision of
the internal policy Of the several States
and municipalities, but each left free To in
force the rights and promote the well bcirg
of its inhabitants by such IN cans as the
Judgment of the people shall prescribe
