a few days ago, BY a practical applica-

him. The affair is telegraphed to re-
publican papers as a great outrage. and
1t is considered a terrible scandal. We
cannot see the matter in that light. 1t

ing false doctrines; and that those who
do so have no cause to complain if their

Messrs. Butler and Forney addressed
what was called a floppers' meeting at
Pittsburg, a lew evenings ago. 1t is
described as the largest political meet
ing ever witnessed there. The chair
man and $50 vicc-presidents were all
prominent original republicans. The
speeches were enthusiastically received,
and the monster demonstration has
stricken the republicans with an awful
and potent fear which turns them pale
when the matter is mentioned. 1T 1t

bugaboo, Hancock would carry Penn
~sylvauia by $4,000 majority. As it is,

Mr.. Conkling Is a very brilliant dem

Il correct estimate of him than to think
him great. His brother-in-law, Horatio
Seymour, is a great man, as was Wash

wei splendid orators, but for the rea-
son that both were patriotic; both had
hearts big enough to love their whole
country. No man who can preach a

Statesmen of the Conkling pattern.
whose hatred of the south blinds them
to all fairness, reckon that section rs OF
no account in the great industrial enter
prise OF the country. This in spite OF the
fact that there were raised, this year, in
the south, $500, 161 bales OF cotton.
Not more than half Of this amount will
be used in this country, and the balance
will be large enough to be OF more value
than all the other exports. 1t IS the
cotton of the country that is bringing in
the large sums OF gold which are ship
ped here from Europe on every steamer,
and which ensure us prosperity. The
merchants of New York are not so short
sighted as to fail to see where the gold
en- egg is laid in America. 1t is graft
fying to know that the foreign demand
for our cotton is ~outgrowing the rapid
ly increasing supply. 1t IS very diff
cult, too, to force people to believe that
a lot of idle. mlschie vous, bulldozing
and bulldozed people raised all this
cotton. 1t Is a fine piece OF political
charlatanism which makes enemies OF
the north and south, instead of friends
which forces the south to feel itself
Inundated and lnsulted, instead OF in
vited to take its proper place in the
political and commercial councils OF the
union, and which repels it from AMIGA
BILE trade relations instead Of inviting
it to more and more cordial bonds OF
business interests.
