Political Notes.

"A purely selfish interest attaches the lewd,
rufianly, criminal and dangerous classes to
the Democratic party."-[Horace Greeley.
The Gouverneur (St. Lawrance Co.. Times,
says that county will give more than 5000
majority for Grant.
Anything to beat Grant," was the rebel
cry from Fort Donelson to Appomatox. But
they never 'beat' him.
Mr.. Greeley doubted whether Congress
would pass law pensioning rebel soldiers.
A Republican Congress would not; but the
Democrats expect, with Greeley, to elect a
Democratic Congress. Such Congress
might pass such law. I ..t
The Tribune denies that Mr.. Greeley went
to church with the notorious George N. San
ders. The Tribune's denials are poor evil
dence. But even that paper does not pre-
tend to deny that Sanders has recently been
Greeley's guest at Chappaqua. 81.
Every one who chooses to live by pugilism
or gambling, or harlotry, with nearly every
keeper of tippling house, is politically
Democrat-Horace Greeley. d
Hon. B. F. Parks, ex-member of Congress
from Indiana, a staunch Democrat says of
the conspiracy between the so-called Liberal
Republicans and Democrats: A 81
This conspiracy against Gen. Grant has
been brewing about two years, and it was and
is based on the idea that the Democracy are
purchasable and deliverable. I suppose
was in the inventory on the LIST of January
last, but, gentlemen, they can neither sell nor
deliver me. ~ .--...-f .... . ...
Brick Pomeroy's newspaper has been sus-
pended. Its subscribers, almost in body,
are taking the Tribune. fr r. .'-s-. e'
Vance spoke at Newbern, N, c., recently.
The same night the colored Episcopal church
was fired and burned to the ground, and with
it several tenement houses occupied by col
ored people. ... rr-.. ...-..f
If the Cotton States shall become satisfied
that they can do better out of the Union than
in it, we insist ON letting them 90 in peace
The right to secede may be revolutionary
one, but it exists, nevertheless Horace

The intelligence from North Carolina as to
the results of the election continues to be of
the most gratifying character.
Thomas III. Seymour, of New Haven, Ct,
a Democrat of prominence, writes to one of
the New York dailies on the political situa-
ton there. The report is anything but fiat
tering to the hopes of the Greeleyites, whose
campaign in Connecticut can meet nothing
but disaster" A large proportion of the
Democrats, he says, will rot support Greeley
but on the contrary, "bite their lips in wrath
at the bare mention OF his name" The
names of prominent Democrats who will not
vote for Greeley are given. Some of them
will not vote at all, some support the Louis
vile movement, others are declaring for
Grant. Meanwhile, WIN. w. Eaton of Hart
ford, "who enjoys the widest reputation, as
a Democrat, of any man in Connecticut, will
leave for Europe in short TIME, to spare his
eyes the sight of Democrats campaigning for
Greeley" ...-.... ...s
Stephen d. Brown, Esq, of Milford, pub
llshed as Vice President at the Democratic
meeting at Bangor on Saturday, is out in a
letter to the Wing, stating that he is mo
such person." but is as he always has been,
a Republican, and proposes to remain so.
This sharp game OF claiming converts in all
directions, without shadow of foundation
will be losing one in the end for our Gree.
ley friends.
A private letter received by gentleman in
this city, to-day, from an intelligent citizen of
Cleveland, Ohio, says, "Ohio is sure for
Grant and Wilson, but whether by 10000 or
$4,000 majority, can't say, but incline to be-
leve the latter figures. We shall gain ten
Democrats where we lose one Republican"
