Sc am one of those who believe po-
litical parties ought not to be permitted
to exist too long in government such as
ours; that they should rise, flourish and
pass away when they have subserved the
purpose for which they were created. The
dangers which threatened our country in
the past are gone. We struggled and
suffered together to preserve the Union of
these States, and not in the next hundred
years will any attempt to divide it be
made. We want peace and the complete
restoration of fraternal relations. It is
time for US to forget the animosities en-
gendered by the war, and to kindle, in
stead of baleful passions, feeling of
universal love. 1t is time for us to invite
those who have been opposed to us to a
seat around the common table. There is
room enough. Horace Greeley IN 1872.

The Grant Interview.

The Cincinnati Gazette of the 9th con-
tains the report of an interview between
Gen. Grant and the Rev. G. II. Fowler,
ID. d., which took place, according to the
Reverend gentleman, in Galena Septem-
Der 2lst. The conversation, as reported,
related chiefly to Gen. Hancock and his
record, and contained many statements of
alleged facts which not only very greatly
surprised the country and Gen. Hancock,
but were, when seen in print by him,
equally a surprise to Gen. Grant; so much
so that he felt constrained, perhaps for
decency'sif not for truths sake, to hasten
into print on his own account and largely
modify the meaning and purport of the
"report " his Reverend friend had erected
with such loving and elaborate care.
Want of space forbids the publication
of the interview and Gen. Grants correc-
tions, but its substance and purport may
be fully gathered, as well as the most
favorable light in which 1t may be re-
garded, by the EDITORIAL from the New
York Herald which will be found else
where. sAtaIIs asI4f.ZsA A s..

I'VE understand that a very large
number of colored strangers are now cir
culating around the county. It may be
that these strangers are sent into the
county by the Radical managers to be
used as repeaters in the coming election,
and we would advise the Conservatives to
keep sharp look out for them. The reg
istration officers should be very careful to
see that none of this floating class get on
the registration list unless it is clear that
they have right to register. In Leon,
Jefferson, Madison and Duval the Radical
managers are preparing to vote a great

A gentleman well known as a close
observer of political events, and who is
by no means street politician, but claims
to belong to the independent class Of
voters" recently unfolded to the St. Louis
Times the rather startling theory that g if
Indiana goes Democratic, and think she
will, Garfield will withdraw from the
national ticket and General Grant be sub
stituted." This new prophet goes on to
say:
You ZEE the facts In the case are Just these :
The leaders Of the Republican party are satisfied
that IL they do not carry Indiana Garfield can
never be elected Why should they continue u
man at the head of their ticket when they know
he Will be defeated. With the loss Of Indiana
the case becomes one Of life and death 10 the
party, and 10 their desperation they will seek
some means Of escape Now the leaders of the
Republican party have always believed, and still
believe, that General Grant would have made
better race than Garfield. The canvass thus far
has strengthened them in this opinion. There Is
not Republican that has ever changed his view
In this regard, and 1t is equally trae that many
who were opposed to bis nomination by the Chi
cage Convention have since come to the conclu-
sion that he was the man who should have been
nominated. ferfy success 10 what The Republi-
cans want, and the man or the means by which
1t can be achieved Is a secondary consideration.
The loss of Indiana will settle the fate OF the
party with Garfield at the head of the ticket, and
they will not hesitate TO depose him and choose
leader whose prospects OF success at least can
not be worse than the man whom they deposc
:" In this emergency Garfield will be per
suaded,' as Mark Twain would say, to resign,
and then the national committe will select his
successor and that nan will be Gen. U. s. Grant
60 The members of the national committee if
not Grant men are what amounts to the same
thing, under the control of the admirers of Gen.
Grant, and they would almost rejoice to carry
out the programme which l have given you

vince me that it is already understood among
them that the plan have mapped out is 10 be

We learn, says the Union of the 9Th,
that Col. Bisbee's meeting last Friday at
Arredondo, one of the largest Republican
precincts in Alachua county and the home
of ex-Congressman Walls, was decided
failure. Bisbee carried the Gainesville
brass band with him, and there was to
hear him by actual count thirty-fve col
ored voters, including the members of the
band, and about fifty to sixty whites, mem
bers of the Arredondo Democratic Club.
If there ever was man made sick by
the collapse of political meeting it was
Bisbee on that occasion. He wore the
expression of man who had had chills
and fever for whole quarter and had
been feeding on blue-mass and quinine.

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, October 8, 1880.
There is intense, almost painful, excitement
and suspense in this city relative to the elections
in Ohio and Indiana, which, ere this reaches you,
will have taken place So many hundreds of
men, women and children in Washington depend
for their very bread on the Republican party that
any change in the administration cannot be re-
garded by them as otherwise than calamitous
Until the election of Mr.. Tilden, four years ago.
such change was supposed by them to be too
remote for anticipation but the revelation then
oil powerful Democratic majority, that was only
kept out of its rights by fraud and usurpaton,
has shocked them into the realization that the
patronage OF the United States government is not,
after ALL an usufruct of the Republican party
1t 10 certainly great wrong that the personnel
of the civil service should depend upon political
parties. ] do not think it would be great exag-
Grafton 10 say that half the government clerks
would vote for Hancock rather than Garfield
could they be entirely independent and feel as
sured that it would not adversely effect their
fortunes. The way this fraudulent admnistra-
ton bulldozes government clerks, not only to
vote for their ticket but also to support 1t with
their money, Is the most disgraceful thing in the
annals of our political history but, alter
all, it is not impossible that 1t will be hoist
by its own petard." There is no doubt
whatever that some who have been forced to
contribute money or lose their places, and who
have been sent to Ohio and Indiana to vote will
vote the Democratic ticket A very intelligent
government clerk said 10 me the other day. IF
Hancock shall be elected you will be astonished
to find what large number of Democrats there
are in the Government Departments here We
contribute to the campaign fund, we march in
the professions, we direct campaign documents
by the thousand. There are few things man
will not do for the support of his wife and
children; but our sympathies are with General
Hancock, and we are thoroughly tired of this
sectional strife betwe cen the North and South,
kept up in the interest of such political hacks as
Blaine and Garfield"
We are too closely on the eve of perhaps, de-
cisive elections to indulge in predictions Prophe-
cies are thick on all sides with regard to the
Ohio and Indiana elections, but by the time this
reaches you, you will have something more re-
liable than guesses. The Republican plan of
intimidating the business men has proved a
failure. The feelings of business men show
themselves unerringly in the stock market, which
shows no indications of depression or apprehen-
sion. Intelligence from all branches of business
indicate that Mr.. Conkling's lurid rhetoric has
not excited the slightest alarm.

special diupMseh 10 the Boston Hsfald.l
s The Chicago Times independently of
the srd inst. says editorially: ut - .
significant circumstance that radical New
England, which first began the political
warfare against the South, and whose
natural sagacity earliest foresaw that the
conflict between the sections was inevi-
table, should be the first to incline to re-
linquish the sectional warfare. The dis
position in New England TO abandon the
sectional issue has been observed elsewhere
than in Maine, and the movement toward
reconciliation will be greatly strengthened
by the declaration of Robert G. Win.
throp, which is printed herewith. Mr..
Winthrop, while refusing TO be counted
as member Of the Democratic organixa-
ton, gives it as his deliberate judgment
that the Presidential Office can not only
be trusted safely to the hands OF General
Hancock, but that Hancock's election will
greatly benefit all sections of the country.
The very language of Mr.. Winthrop's
declaration is absolute proof of its calm
ness, deliberation, wisdom and freedom
from all party bias. 1t is an indication
that the best minds of New England are
turning with disgust from the sectional
buncombe upon which the Republican
party is putting its main reliance in this
campaign. and that, while they have no
sympathy with the reactionary sentiments
OF a considerable portion of the opposite
party, they see in Gen. Hancock's candi.
daey on escape rom Une extreme tenoen-
cies of both parties. With Gen. Han
cock in the chair there will come, they
feel, relief from the dead weight of per-
ennial sectional conflict, while at the
same time there will lie no danger that a
brake will be put on the wheels of the
nations political, social and material pro-
gress"

A Good Keynote.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
thus strikes the keynote of the next
Presidential campaign. It is in effect the
keynote of the present struggle, and the
Democratic party may hereafter be known
as the "Union Democratic Party %
"There is but one means left of putting
down sectionalism wherever it lifts it's
head. This means can only be supplied
by a Union party. There is but one Union
party in this country to-day. That is the
Democratic party. 1t is the only party
which is alive and strong in all sections
of the land. It has its faults, but the
greatest of Observation-Disclosures be
imputed to it. Its strength is more in the
North than in the South. 1t has nearly
twice as many voters here as there. In
these popuIous Northern States it divides
the votes 80 evenly with the Republicans
that few thousands, in many States even
a few hundreds, turn the scale at every
election. This is the party which, literally
and truly, knows no North, no South, no
East and no West, and consents to no
sectional injustice it has the power to
prevent %

Garfield: Brains he has; but how has
he used thema Always for his party
Never for his country. He was an ex-

wore pair of jackboots and spurs. Rid
