If wo had any aMurance that Mr. Hill
himaalf wonld respond to thia challenge,
wa wonld leave the little job to bin supe
rior manipulation. Hut inasmuch as he
seldom replies to newapaper strictures,
and ia moreover reported to be absent
from the State, »re will give onr neighbor
the “sentiment” called for, without insist
ing on the deplorable sequence that is
threatened.
On tho 27th of November, 18f»G, Mr.
Greeley published in the Tribune, over
his own initials, an articlo headed “The
True liases of Keoonatmotion”—which ar
ticle, because of its independence of par
ty and itn emphatic demands for pence
and amnesty for the South, caused tlm
Hadical majority of the New York legis
lature to change its purpose of electing
him to the United States Senate. In that
article Mr. Greeley said:
“1 trust tho States will generally accord
to Blacks tho common rights of manhood,
irrespective of the nation aud of each
other; and I trust they will agreo to place
those rights under tho nrotoctiou of
Federal Constitution. This may not

And if we cun without amazement witness
the reliance upon such proof to sustain
one proposition, we may as well receive
without wonder the neat deduction, that
because Mr. Greeley “trusted that the
States would generally accord to the
blacks the common right of manhood''
(with the exceptions above named), and
would “agree to pluce those rights under

If the Democratic party bad stood firm
at an earlier dsy, it might have nominated
Pa own candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency with every prospect of
sin ceas. Failing to comprehend its own
strength, and the advantage to be derived
from the split in the Republican ranks, it
lost the most tempting opportunity ever
given to a puli'ioal party siuce I860. It
forgot the very leHsou which that trisDgn-
lar contest should have tsagbt it, and,
from sheer weariness of the struggle it
had so gallantly maintained for twelve
years, gave way to doubts and fears when
it should have been moat confident and
hopeful.
But the past is past. Tha vital ques
tion now, in how to “pluck from the net
tle dangor the flower safety ?” If this can
be done only by a ooalition with the Lib
eral Republicans—bitter as the alternative
will be to many—no be it. It must be
acknowledged that the drift of popular
sentiment favors a combination of all the
elements of opposition to put dowD Grant-
ism. Not only are our sister Southern
States appealing to us for relief from the
brutal despotism to which for seven years
they have been subjected ; hut thousands

The whole oountry needs absolute peace

On tho 23d of May, 1867, being oiled to
appear before the “Union Lcagno Club,”
to answor for his conduct iu bailing Mr

in which be thus alluded to tho circum

M an extract:
Upon the Republicans having, by des-
perate effort, handsomely carried our
State against u formidable-looking combi
nation of recent and venomous apostate*
with our natural adversariuH, a cry arose
from several quarters that 1 ought to bo
chosen U. 8. Seuutor. At once, kind,
disoroet friends swarmod about me, whis
pering “Only keep still about Universal
Amnesty, nud your election is certain.
Just be quiet a few woeks, and you can
say what yon pleaso thereafter. You
have no occasion to spoak now. ” I slept
on tho well-meant suggestion, and delib
erately concluded that 1 could not, in jus
tice to myself, defor to it. I could not
purchase office by even passive, negative
dissimulation. No timu should be en
abled to say to mo, in truth, “If I hud
supposed you would persist in your re
jected, condemned Amnesty hobby, I
would not havo given you my voto.” So
1 wrote and published, on the 27th of tlmt
month, my manifesto, entitled “Truo
Bases of Reconstruction.”
And now, while calls for Mr. Greeley's
“sentiments” on tbe question of enfran
chising “ignorauco and vice” at the South
are in order, we ask our noigbbor to quote
a single written or spoken declaration by
Mr. O. in favor of universal negro suffrage
at the South. We do not moan a refer
ence to his support of Reconstruction
measures that in invovlod universal nogio
suffrage, because, in this instance, that ia
not a sure test of his true sentimonts. A
politician often supports measures with
out approving all their details, lint Mr.
Greeley, being tho chief oditor of n lead
ing political paper, waa daily iu tho habit
of expressing his viowa as to the details
as well aa the genoral design of public
measures. We aak for any direct ex pres-
aion of hia on tho nirnplo question of uni-
veraal negro suffrage st the South, iu fa
vor of it.
It ia possible that our neighbor may be
able to find such a sentiment in Mr. Greo-
lay'a writings. We do not pretend that
we have ever read all that Mr. G. has
written ; therefore we do not propose to
"hide onr pen in shame” if onr neighbor
does And it. But aa we have before un
declarations of Mr. Greeley to the efl'eot
that he wished the eleotive franchise to
be withheld from vicious negroes, wo do-

replies in tho following patriotic and sen

New Yore, Juno 17.—The nows from
every quarter, reoeived through an exten-
correspondence, at the Greeley aud
Brown headquarters iu this oily, ia of tho
most encouraging character. Letters from
nromiueut Republicans iu many of the
Eastern and Western States, who will not
pronounce iu favor of Greeley and Brown
until after the Baltimore Convention, give
assurances that at least twenty-five per
cent, of tho Republican votes will he
given for these goutleuien, should they be
endorsed at Bultttuore. In a sample of
many other letters, tho following extracts
are given from one dated at St. Anthony's
Falls, Minnesota :
“1 am most happy to be able to stAte
that a decided majority of tho Republi
cans of this city are iu favor of Greeley
aud Brown, aud iu tho event they are
endorsed ut Baltimore, Minnesota will
give them a majority of twenty thou
sand. ”
The news from the ntiuiug regions of
Pennsylvania is very satisfactory. It i*
thought by gentlemen well informed in
that seetion of tho Htate, that one-third
of the Republican vote will be for Mr.
Greeley, as ho is recognized as the true
friend of tho luhoring men. .
A Hood llatr
Talking of haters, how*
oat that ever occupied a sr
was the Into William l 1 . Fi
Mr. FuNhotidun'H pet
Sumner aud Wade. Ho xmild, perhaps,
ha\e given no better reason for his feeling
iu either case than the metrical • no as
sign***! for the dislike of Dr. Fell, but he
was very well convinced in his own mind
that he hated the MaKsachusettH uiul the
Ohio Heuator, and he never failed to profit
by tho opportunities for manifesting Ins
dislike. It used to gush out ou nil proper
and improper occasions, and often lie
adopted expletives to give it special em
phasis. I remember that during (tie de
bate on the reconstruction hill, Sumner
came into tho Leuato one morning, just
before the hour for assembling, with a
pmtfolio under bis arm, which it was well
understood contained a prepared apt edi.
Just iih ho entered the door, Fessenden
from his seat, and exclaimed to
a frieud with whom he was talking, “Look
at that d d fool, coming iu to debate
with hia writiug-desk f" Sumner, iu the
course of the day, delivered his prepared
address, aud FesKendeu replied to it uitli-
out n moment's preparation, and in a
pecch characterized by the sharpest irony
and tbe keenest sarcasm ever uttered in
the Senate.
i au extemporaneous debater, it is safe
j tlmt Fesseutleu uever hud an cqu.d
on the door of the Senate. Everybody
waa afraid of hia invective, even if they
could meet his argument. When lie w as
the least hit worsted he would lose his
temper, aud, while mnintRining tlio out
ward semblance of dignified debate, he
would iudttlge in a style of personal com
ment which always came within a hair's
breadth of invoking the intervention of
the Chair.
A story is told of FeRsenden w hich so
well illustrates his irascible temper that
fewr who knew him will disbelieve it. 1
heard it not long since from one who whs
eve-witness of the scone it relates.
Mr. Fessenden, as is perhaps known, was
the natural sou of a distinguished New
England lawyer, from whom ho inherited
both temper and talent. Father and sou
ere at one time engaged ou opposing
sides of un important lawr ease. The
young man wua then addicted to indul
gences, uot uncommou theu ns now with
those of his class ; that is to uny, ho was
inclined to he what is called fast. In tho
cross-firing of tho suit the futher made
some reference to this fact, though in
when manuer and in what words my in
formant did not say. But it was suffi
cient to sting young Fessenden to the
quick, and he was not the man to let even
his father get the better of him in such a
matter. So, when his turn ramo for rc-
plv, he determined to square accounts

Fink, tho New York correspondent of
the Gharlestou Courier, say*:
'lho anti-Greeley Democrats are thor
oughly disgusted with the prospocta of
the campaign. At last they aro becom
ing satisfied that there is not a shadow of
a chance of defeating Greeley At Balti
more. Certain Administration Republi
can* here have contributed to a large sum
of money, which ha* been acut to Balti
more, or, at least, a portion of it, to be
used iu defeating tho choice of Cincinna
ti. Even so desperate have they become
that they have resolved to pack the con

sort to force to secure his rejection by

The Doom ok the Administration.-
The New York Sun’s Washington corres
pondent, of the I7tb, say* :
Careful and disiuiKMonate observers
predict an overwhelming defeat for the
administration. The nomination of
Grant has fallen perfectly flit. Wilson’s
Know-Nothingibui will cost the ticket all
the foreign vote, outside of the question
of tbe supply of aim* to kill the Gormans.
The defeat of Colfax aud the nomination
of Hendricks, it ia conceded* makes ludi-
ana sure in October for the Liberals. As
for Pennsylvania, every msu from there
Mr. E. F. Blodgett’s case was sot down
for Ibis morning. At a late hour last
night tl.o jury rendered a verdict of
guillj*. hut commended Hoyt to mercy.—

A Sv uk Cure you tue Dysinteuy.—
An old msu, who has known hundreds of
cases of dysentery cured by it, furnishes
tl.o Atlanta Constitution with the follow
ing remedy:
A spoonful or two of pure, raw wheat
flour,thinned w.th wa'er so it cau be easi
ly drank. Three or four doses, taken at
intervals of ten or twelve hours, will cuie
any ease not absolutely chronic; and,
from what I have witnessed, I feel 6ure it
is one of the best remedies in the world
for chronic diseases. To make tbe dose
palatable for children.it can be sweetened
and flavored with some drops, not acid.

prior to these elections Maine will vote

official admitted to me the other evening
that their usual party majority would be

that it will giva fully 60,000 majority for

Tho restaurant is supplied by one or

with a grab hook, baited with flannel.
The bull element in the frog’s nature

Washington, June 20.—Some appre
hensions have been expressed that the ex
citement of the forthcoming Presidential
campaign w ill have a serious effect on the
cotton crop, in the South, by reason of
the tendency tbe political canvass will
have to iufatuate the colored hands en
gaged in field work, and draw them off to
attend conventions, etc., at tho very time
wbenitshjuld be picked. The sugges
tion is made that strong precautions be
taken by planters to guard against the
possibility of looiug the large crops they
tireve planted by their laborers deserting
them at the moat inopportune period, aud
y t not KU^h as cau by any partisan ma
chinery to twLtcd into au effort to com
pel their paid workmen lo abstain from
indulging their proclivities for gathering
political information, and to doprive them
of auy right which they have under the

George Ii. l’endleton is not taking
much part in | oli'ies. His law business,
which w very largo, absorbs oil hi.s # timo.
He h is, however, be n consulted by tho
Demo ratio leaders of Ohio, ov* r whom
ho wields great influence, und Mr. Pen
dleton is understood to havo advised them
to send u delegation to baltimoie tb.*t will
indorse Greeley und Brown. Ho thinks
Mr. Greeley rather an ill-favored pill for
tho Democracy to swallow, but believes
that his endorsement U tho best thing
that cun be done under the circumstances.
As to a split at Baltimore, Mr. 1’endletou
does not believe that there will bo any.
Such an occrurenco would be sheer folly.
I have ascertained from a source not to
bo discredited, that Mr. Peudletou will
shortly sail for Europe to join his family,
which*is now traveling on the Continent,
and that it is not probable ho will return
iu lime to participate iu tho Presidential
campaign.
Political Complexion or the HorsE.
The Washington Patriot says: The nomi
nal Repnbliean majority in the present
House is thirty-three, which includes eve
ry disaffected man and the twenty-odd
who voted egainst the extension of un
constitutional powers to the Presidency—
It ia known that a portion of thia majori-
tion left WaehingtoA with a fixed purpose
to break tha bonds of partisan vassalage,
and in a certain event to declare for tha
owl*** at tb* JMUimc* CobtniU9&.
\Ye Have the Arskbanckb.—Let us c«k
the doubling what better assurance of the
strength of Greeley amongst Not them
Republicans need wo desire than that
which is afforded by the action of the
Democratic party in the Northern States,
where Republican support of Mr. Greeley
is looked for ? Can we hiippo.se that Dem
ocrats upon the very scene where these
assui'auces are l'»okud for should act ns
though they Lad them if they bad them
These fellow l)t
As we are, aud we would do them great
injustice to suppose that they would dis
play such readmeKB and zeal iu the sup
port of Mr. Greeley if ho had not that
support in the party with which ho has
ncted that would be necessary, with the
Democratic help, to elect him. Wo me
satisfied that they know it, aud we should
all be ready to rely upou their action
proving it. It is the strongest proof wo
can have next to tho voting at the polio.
When a union of Democrats aud Lib
eral Republicans is formed after tbe Bal
timore convention wo bhuli have sigus
and enthusiasm enough to dispel all
doubts. There will be quite a shower of
Northern lights—such a display, indeed,
as will All the Grant party with the idea
