The Third Attempt of the “Straight*.”
The tliiril attempt to “organize a bolt"
from the Cincinnati ami Baltimore nomi
nations will be made at Louisville to-day.
Wo have hopes that the good sense of the
majority will overrule any nomination and
squelch Blanton Duncan and his mischief-
making for good and all. One thing is
evident: the bolting strength throughout
the country is much less now than it was
at the time of the assembling of the Balti
more Convention. One after another of
the most prominent of the then dissatis
fied Democrats have since either accepted
Greeley “as a choice of evils" or declared
their opposition to a new nomination.
Messrs. Voorheoa, Bayard, Black, Andrew
Johnson, and others, who at first refused
to accept Greeley, have siuce declared
their acquiescence in the undeniable
choice of the great mass of the Democratic
party; and Messrs. Wise, Chappell, II. V.
Johnson, and others who would not at
first submit to the judgment of the major
ity, now counsel an abandonment of the
purpose of making another nomination.
Indeed, if any prominent Democrat, other
than Hon. A. 11. Stephens, Ktill favors a
nomination at Louisville, wo cuuuot with
confidence name the man.
Under these circumstances, a persist
ence in the project of making a now nom
ination at Louisville can only be reasona
bly ascribed to some outside iutlucnco;
•ertain that the Democratic dis-
roni tli<! actiou at Cincinnati and
e, at fust entitled to considera-
m ount of their position and servi
ces in the party, if not because of their
numbers, have since successively repudi
ated the Louisville movement, until it is
now diifieiilt to see any Democratic pro
pelling power In it. Only the Radical
party is looking with any satisfaction or
hope to Louisville, in expectation of a
new nomination. Only the Radical party
can be betielilted by Hiioh a nomination,
for the wildest and most crotchety poli
tician in the country cunuot cherish the
belief that the Louisville nominee can
carry a single State in the Union. These
facts are so apparent to all moil, that if a
now nomination is made at Louisville, m
one e:ui possibly misunderstand in whose
intercut it is made, or tho object sought to
bo accomplished by it. We hope for the
defeat of any nomination; but should one
be made, we have u stronger confidence
that it will only arouso tho true Dei
racy of the country to n greater exertion
mid thus aid in awakening the spirit that
must will the; great light iu November.
A writer iu tho Cuthhert Appeal con
tends that tho cotton plaut itself, i
diseased stale, produces tho germ of the
destroying worm. Ilia theory is that “it
every object, whether nnimato or iuani
mate, animal or vegetable, tho elomonts
of its destruction exist in itsolf."
thinks that “irregularity of tho seasons,
want of work, allowed,, to got grassy, too
docp plowing after tho cotton begins to
fruit, or anything that will produce an
unnaturnl or disuused growth iu tho cot
ton, will cause a gummy substance to
exude from the stalk, and that is tho first
development of the cotton caterpillar.
To avoid him, then, prevent as far ah
possible uu|r diseased condition of the
crop."
This theory docs not contlict with the
successive stages and “crops" of the cat
erpillar, as observed by those who have
studied its development. We think that
wo have in mind souio fuels connected
with tho ravages of the catorpillar that do
not support this theory ; bnt our object
now is not to discuss tho quostiou—only
to present the conclusions of an evidently
sensible writer.
TIIE COLORED VOTE OK THE SOI Til.
Wo think that there is now very good
reason to believe that tho nomination of
Greeley and Brown, and their acceptance
by the Democratic party, have materially
divided tho negro vote of the South.—
That the large majority of the colored
vote is still for Grant and Radicalism, is
not denied; but what we mean is that a
sufficient number of oolored men are
taking sides for Greeley aud Brown to re
duce sensibly the great majorities wbioh
that rAco have heretofore been casting
for the Radical candidates, and probably
enough to affect results in many counties
aud in several States. We soo evidences
of this not only here at home, hut in the
reports that roach us of the formation of
Greeley and Brown colored clubs in
other cities and towns of the South ; also
in the numerous cards of colored tueu de
claring for Greeley, which wo notice in
our exchanges. A break has certainly
been made iu tho serried colored Radical
column, and tho “uewly enfranchised"
are by no moans unanimous for Grant.
This is nu important and a beneficial
roHult of tho action of the Democratic
party in accepting Greeley And Brown.—
We uoed not horu dilate upon the evils
to both classes of tho voting population
of tho South of tho political antagonism
of rucos. Tho nniuiositios and jealousies
—not to Kay the daugers—that must be
incidental to tho eontiunod array of all
the whites of the South on oue sido in
party contests, and all the negroes on the
other Hide, are bo manifest that noue hut
the Radical party could ho rockloss or un
scrupulous enough to oncourngo it.—
Such a condition is one of the greatest
ovils that cun affiict any community ; it is
a stniubliug-block to coufidonco aud
friendly feeling, a fomeuter of distrust
nud prejudice, und a standing meuaco to
peace aud good order.
It is a remarkable fact that tho most
teliigent and respected of tho colored
aro generally those who are taking
their stand with tho whiten for Greeley
aud this fact ntfordH an assurance thnl
movement will progress with even
more marked results tbun at presold.—
Ignorance nud prcjudico may for u time
mako a stout fight against intelligence
aud progress, but must surely continually
lose grouud aud haw to give way iu tin
ond. Tho colored men who are now tak
iug their stand with the whites for Groe
ley nud Brown aro piouoers iu a groat
moral movement that will prove of im
mense advantage to their race aud to
thoir section. They may have to oiicouu-
tor abuse, and in some cases violence at
first, hut time will vindicate the upright
ness of their motives nud tho wisdom of
their courso nud briug confusiou to their
enemies who advise thorn to uu opposite
course.

Tho Democrats of Atlanta voted on
Saturday for the eloction of delegates to
tho Nominating Convention of tho 5th
Congressional District. Two tickets wore
run—one favoring tho nomination of Col
Glonn, tho othor for Mr. Candler. Tho
highest candidate on tho Glenn ticket
received 1,007 votes, and tho highest on
tho Candler ticket (54(5 ; average majority
for Col. Glenn 8C1.
Two members of the Legislature re
cently chosen iu North Carolina on
Caldwell ticket, have already come out
for Greeley.
Tho total cotton receipts of Montgom
cry, Ala., for the year ending the filst
ult., were 53,211 bales, against 07,049
bale* the proviotis year. Stock on hand

The Montgomery Advertiser compiles
late advices from all tho cotton growing
States, furnished by exchanges, from
which it nppenrs that the disasters to the
crop have c-vciywhero curtailed it, and
that “all the Southern Stateshaving fared
•like there is no danger of large crops in
other States depressing prices in this."
The reason givon for Grant’s withhold'
ing the pardon of the four “Ku-Klux'
prisoners recommended for mercy by
Whitely, was that ho received “official ad
vices" from North Carolina protesting
against it. And we are informed by
North Caroline papers that about the
time these “official advices" were sent to
Washington, Gov. Coldwell pardoned
four Radical thieves confined in the peni-
tiary of that State. Of coarse these
our votes are sure for Grant*
Vermont.
Tho Radicals liuvo again carried this
State, us they have never once foiled to
carry it by a huge majority over nineo tho
Radicnl party was organized. Their ma
jority now is variously stutod from 25,000
a full vote. In tho l'residon
tial election of 18(58, on it full vote, it
32,122, as follows: Grant 44,113;
Seymour 12,031. At tho Governtir's elec
tion iu 1871, wlion tho vote was small,tho
Radical majority was 21,309—tho Radical
ticket having 33,307, und tho Democratic
ticket 12,038. So it has boon fexfe* many
yoarH, the Radicnl majority varying from
JO,000 to 33,000, according to tho fullness
of the vote. Tho vote being this year a
full one, it appears that the DemocrntH
and Liberals havo reduced the Radical
majority of 1808 some five or six thou
sand votes. This does not much affect
tho Radical domination in Vermont, but
tho sumo ratio of gain in other States
would play tho mischief with Grant’i
chaucos for re-election.

Mr. Editor: Wo notico (in your issue
of tho 27th August,) a note from Col. B.
A. Thornton, iu roply toonofrom Col. M.
II. Bluudford, in regard to the residence
of the former at the time of his election
to tho Senate from this, tho 24th Senato
rial District.
It will bo observed that Col. Thornton
bases his citizenship iu Chattahoochee,
hypothetically upon tho fact that his fami
ly resided hero during part of ’G3-’G4 and
’Go. Now, wo would ask Col. Thornton
if his family were not here daring his ab
sence in the army, as refugees, or, for tho
convenience of tho subsistence depart
ment ? Did not Col. Thornton, iu or
abont June, ’Go, remove his books and of
fice fnruituro to Columbus, and did he
not open his office tbero at that time ?
At the tirno Col. Thornton was running
for Seuator fur this District, did he not
vote in Museoyce tor Representatives of
Muscogee ?
Wo are creditably informed that in the
early part of ’Go, Col. Thornton was a can
didute for Judge of this county, and was
defeated by C'apt. E. G. Kaiford, one of
the issues being that Col. Thornton was
not a citizon of Chattahoochee.

The IIIIiioIm bmnt-llourUnii Plot,
SrniNoiir.LD, III., Aug. 30.—Great ex
ilement was created in this city to-day,
in political circles, over the discovery of
the fact that prominent Grniit Congres
sional candidates and officials iu this State
are managing mid sending delegates to
the Blanton Duncan Louisville Conven
tion. Tho whole correapoiidouco relating
the movement in Illinois, iuoludiug
letters from Blanton Duncan, Wilbur F.
Storey, Major Will C. Moreau, and others
>f that ilk, has been found, haviug been
lost by Joseph Lodlio, the prime mover in
this State of Grant’s Louisville side show.
These letters prove beyond a doubt that
Grant and his place-holders throughout
the country lire running the convoution to
be held ut LouiHvillo next woek. One
from J. Daniels, of Chicago, to Lodlio,
says: “If you havo blanks send Mr.
Charles H. Home, of the Inter-Ocoau
office, fifty, aud the hauio number to lion.
B. Furwell." The suniu correspondent,
mother letter
can send fifty
delegates if desired, and from the best
ward-workers hero.” Daniels again writes:
“Please send iny card to Gen. S. 1). At
kins, postmaster at Freeport, 111. It will
help you." N. C. Myers telegraphs to
Lodlio to come to Chicugo, as certain par
ties want to see him on inqiortuut busi
ness. W. F. Story, of the Chieugo Times,
writes to Lodliu, “If tho proposed Louis
ville Convention shall he largely attended,
and if duinpliools cun bo kept off it, and
especially out of # tho load of it, it may bo
of great service!" Other letters in this
butch from the manipulators of tho Blan
ton Duncan movement say that, if tho
Louisville Convention is not a success as
u means to dofont Greeley, its fricudH
should voto for Grant.
Annthor lottcr was found directed to
Mr. Lodlio from a prominent Grant can
didate in this city, in which Lodlio is di
rected to call ou certain Grant Radicals
iu SAiigamon county for assistance und
information as to the proper persons for
delegates to Louisville, stating that all ex
penses will be paid. The whole tenor of
nil tho letters shows conclusively that the
entire Louisville Convention moveinont is
managed for Grant and by Grant’s office
holders and with Grant’s money, aided by
unscrupulous knnves claiming to be Dem
ocrats. Your correspondent haa exam
ined all the letters, aud made tho extracts
from them as abovo stated.
Election Frauds.—A Washington cor
respondent of tho New York Tribune,
whom that pnpor vouches for and says ho
held high offico under Lincoln, writes the
Tribune giving tho details of a Grant plot
to carry Indiana and Pennsylvania by the
shipment of four or five thousand nogroes
to those States, from Kentucky aud the
District of Columbia.
He says tho following facts in rolatiou
to the North Caroliua eloction aro now
established, to wit ; That tho steamer
Vanderbilt was brought to Washington
and her berths and best furnituro remov
ed ; that on the 27th of July (the North
Carolina electiou being the 1st of August)
she was chartered by u colored man (con
coaling his white employers) for a round
trip to Norfolk and return, for $500, ho
paying the money down ; that sho took
on board seven hundred negroes, all
—not a woman in the crowd—put off and
did not return till the 4th of August; that
the pretence was a religious meeting, bnt
the absence of wotnou, and other facta,
mado this pretence ridiculous ; those ne-
8 roes were all employes of the District
Government, and were taken to North
Carolina and voted.
Charles Francis Adams and Horace
Greeley were candidates for the Presiden
tial nomination before the Cincinnati
Convention. Mr. Grooley was the fortu
nate competitor, receiving tho nomination
after a sharp contest. Now, the report
reaches ns tbat Mr. AdAtus says he “does
not sympathize with the Greeley move
ment, aud regards tho election of Grant
as essential to the best interests of the
country. ’’
Tho Courier-Journal, commenting on
his reported position, says Mr. Adams did
not consider that Grant’s re-election
woud bo conducive to tho welfare of the
country when ho wrote the letter whieh
was published just beforo the Cincinnati
Convention met, and wo confess our dis-
appointment in him if he proves recalci
trant aud goes over to the Radicals be*
cause Greeley, instead of Adams, received
tho nomination. Should ho prove him
self capable of such littleness, we certain
ly shall not regret that we were overruled
in our first choice of a Presidential nomi
nee. _
Ex-President Andrew Johnson on Sat
urday night, at Naahville, announoed him
self a candidate for Congress for the State
at large—accepting what he termed the
nomination tendered by the people. He
promised to make an aotive and thorough
oanvaaa, inviting his opponent to go with
him. Gen. Frank Cheatham is the regu
lar nominee, and game to the back-bone,
so that we may expect live timea in our
neighboring State. It is no affair of ours.
We are in favor of State rights, and there
fore willing that the people of Tennessee
may aeleot their own RepreM*tattvea in

The Rice Crop.
Tho crop of rieo grown iu 1871 was
vory small, tho total amount pounded at
our millM being about 14,200 casks. Tho
storms of August 1871 did great damogo
to the crop, aud mauy of our planters
went down under tho pressure of their
Iosros.
ill bo remembered that thoro was
considerable discussion iu Congress last
wiuter as to the proprioty of continuing
the tax on rico, inasmuch as tlio crop of
this cereal had largely diminished sinco
tho war, and mauy plantations that were
formerly vory productive lmd boon entire
ly abandoned. Tho ground of ninny of
tho petitions for removal of tho tux was
the fact that if it was retained it would
seriously interfere with tho negroes in tho
rico districts, who were entirely depend
ent on it ns a moans of living.
Wo reproduce the following statistics
as to tho yield for ttvo years in the States
of North and South Carolina and Geor
gia, which may be of intcroBt to our read
ers:

As stated above, tho amount- pounded
in this city reached about 14,200 casks.
It is impossible, thus early, to givo the
yield for tho three States for the past year
but as soou as we receive the duto our
renders shall bo informed of the result.
Our information os to the now crop is
of the most favorable nature, and if tho
harvest soasou turns out to he n good one
tho prospects are fair for the largest crop

that tho rico planters will havo a favorable

Johkpii E. Brown as a Farmer.—Gov.
Brown owns soiuo very valuable land iu
Cherokee county, which lie has cultivated
to advantage ami mado quite profitable to
himself before and since the war. He
turned his attention to the cultivation of
hay very soon after the war, ami last year
his income from his hay crop alone was
about $10,000. This year his wheat crop
will yield him about $3000. Last winter
and wiuter before hist we haw very large
quantities of corn forage, (baled fodder
and shucks) iu the market for civic, which
was grown on his farm in Cherokee.
Last year he planted Homo cotton and
succeeded very well with it—ho well, in
deod, that it puid handsomely. This year
quito a number of bis neighbors lmvo
followed his example, and for tho first
tinio in that section a large amount of
cotton is plnntcd. Wo fear ho 1ms set,
and they have followed, a had example.—

Homicide in Buchanan.—Mr. Thomas
Killgoro, was killed nt Buchanan, Haral
son county, on tho 27th inst., by Sir. A.
D. Wood, Ordinary of the county. The
following aro the particulars ns givon t<

culty between Killgoro uml Wood. Ou
last Monday while Killgoro was out talk
ing with Col. Jeff Head, Wood aud his
son-in-law Gentry, went with double-bar
rel shot guns aud sat on tho stops of Kill-
gore’s grocery. As Killgoro was return
ing with Col. Heud, Gentry snapped his
g un at him, mid as Killgoro, was lowering
is own gun, Wood bhot, bringing him to
his kuoes, ami before lie could rise, Wood
shot again, both shots taking effect iu the
head and heart. Ho do id iu about three
hours. Wood and Gentry wore arrested
aud are now iu jail .—Home Courier, 3UL
Tiik Hon. Thomas Haiidf.man at
Gainesville.—There was a large Demo
cratic meeting hold at Gainesville yester
day, which was addressed by lion. Tims.
Hardeman, of Mucon, in his usual able
and happy style. Tho meeting was very
enthusiastic, aud nearly unanimous for
Greeley.
Just as tho speaker was ascending the
rostrum, u note was handed him request
ing free dismission, and stating that
O’Neal, of Lowndes—who now resides in
Gainesville—would discuss political mat
tors with him.
Col. H. read tho note to the audienco,
nnd suid that he was too old to he caught
in that trap; ho had boon invited by the
citizens to uddress them, and lmd no right
to inflict upon them a speech from HUtih a
source; lie knew that it was impossibl
for O’Ncul to get a decent audienco any
other wuy, and this was an effort to push
himself into white society, lie must go
among his own sort..
This created a tremendous applausi
and O’Neal quietly disappeared.—Alla nt a

General Banks on the Main Ques
tion.—Iu bis Into speech for Greeley nnd
Brown at Lynn, Mass., General Banks ex
pressed tho opinion that “tho administra
tion party, with its loaders nnd its organi
zation, will bo destroyed by this canvass,
aud that a new party of wiser and hotter
men will bo installed in their places;"
that this will h&ppon even though Gener
al Grant may bo ro-olocted; that lio can
nover re-establish the power of that party
of which he is tho head, because tho peo
ple of all parties and all sections are wise
enough to recogni/.o tho errors of tho
pant, nnd come together to remove them
and the consequences to themselves und
the country. In other words, General
Banks bolds the opinion that, who *
General Grant is defouted or elected, tho
corruptions of tbe party in powor will
be checked by tho pressure! of public
opinion upon Congress and the adminis
tration, and that the administration party,
aa now organized, will bo broken up and
dispersed. Nor do we think that he is
very wide of the mark in this opinion, in
asmuch as the disintegration of the re
publican party has already commenced.

“And if Greeley is elected,'' said Con
greseiuan Roberts to a Herald writer, “as
he doubtless will he, not his strength, hut
his sensibility, will elect him—his pity,
his raady apprehension of the orring, the
wrecked, the recoverable. First in mer
cy for the slave, first in mercy for tho
ruined Houlh, limt merciful lor the strug
gling Caban, the Irishman, the Ilnlisn,
Greeley awakens feelings everuwbcrc,
and, the more they harp on this weakness,
tho more they strengthen him iu human
nature."

Wo aro glad to see that tho people of
New York aro bocoming awakened to tho
enormity of making thoir jails tho recep
tacles of Federal primnors, tried and con
victed in a remote State, and, therefore,
by what may bo termed a foreign juris
diction. That there are eases coming bo-
tho United States Courts which mo
Federal character, and tborofore,
proporly before them, we do not deny—ns,
for instance, where murders or outrages
perpetrated on tho high sons, cases of
smuggling or piracy, crimes committed at
Federal naval stations or military posts,
mid over which the United Staten exer
cise exclusive authority ; in short, all cu-
hioh are iu their essence Federal,
and not State, or local. For tho safe
keeping aud duo punishment of all such
offenders committed or convicted by a
Federal Court sitting within any State,
such State may consent to tho use of its
prisons, or it may refuse to have anything
to do with them, at its optiou. Whether
the Southerners imprisoned ut the Albany
penitentiary como properly within tin*
category of those which the slut in law of
Now York makes it imperative upon ils
prison authorities to receive, wo now pro
ceed to inquire. Section 1(5 of the No
York statute relating to Prisons, Ac., d
dares:
“It shall ho tho duty of tho keeper of
each couuty prison to receive into the
prison every person duly committed
thereto, for uuy utfouco against the United
States, l»y any court or officer of tho
United Slates, and to confine such poreon
in tho prison until ho shall bo duly dis-
hurged, tho United States supporting
such person during his confinement. The
provisions of this article relative to tho
mode of coniiuing prisoners aud convicts
hIiuII apply to all persons so committed
by any court or officer of tho United
States. ’
Blit by section 145 of tho sauio article
it is provided that
it shall ho the duty of tho respective
keepers of ouch of tho county und State
prisons to roccivo into tho s>iid pris
und safely to keep therein, subject to
displinu of such prison, any criminal i
viclcdof any offence against the United
States, sentenced tu he imprisoned the
in by any court of tho United States, i
ting within this State, until such sentence
bo executed, or until such convict shall
ho discharged by duo courso of law, the
United States supporting such convict
und puyiug tho expenses attendant upon
tho oxecutiou of such sentence."
By comparing these two sections of tho
Now York Code, it will ho perceived that
they furnish no warrant whatever to tin
Federal authorities to demand that per
sons convicted iu Federal courts, Kilting
outside of the territorial limits of tin
Stale of New York, skull bo received uml
incarcerated in any of its State prisons.
Section 145 obviously limits and re
stricts tho operation aud effect of section
1(5. But ovou if it bo conceded thut it
does not have this restrictive effect, nnd
giving tho widest scope to tho geucral
luugunge of socliou Hi— a scope aud
moaning cortninly not contemplated by its
frauiers—Federal prisoners committed or
convicted by “any court or officer of the
United States," can only lawfully bo con
fined iu some ono of tho county prisons
of Now York—not in ono of its State
prisons or penitentiaries. Tho confine
ment, therefore, of the Ku Klux prisoners
from South Curoliua iu tho Albany Pei '
toutiary—which is a State institution—
not authorized by tho existing law of Ne
York, and wo venture to hope that situ
tho subject has been brought publicly to
tho Attoutiou of tho peoplo of New York,
soiuo steps will bo tukon to test tho
quostiou.—llaltimorc (/azette,
Failuiikh of Cotton Mehchants in
Liveiipool.—Tho Liverpool Shipping A
Commercial Express of Saturday the 17th
August says :
During tho last fow days there has boon
a good doAl of gossip afloat on the Liver
pool Excliaiigo in connection with tho
financial position of sovoral well known
firms iu tuo cotton trado. At first tho re
ports wero looked upon as rather prema
ture, but yesterduy they eulmiusted in a
positive fact. Iu couucctiou with the
cotton trado, a gentleman, who is related
by marriage with ono of tho most emi
nent bauking firms iu England and Amer
ica, and who is conuoctcd with an English
nobleman, has absented himself from
business, and it is stated thnl his deficits
amount to about 4145,000. His wherea
bouts is at present unknown, but it is
stated that ho has gone on a tour to Swit
zerland. The other two firms who have
succumbed iu consequouco of rush specu
lations in the importntiou of cotton, aro
highly reiqiectahlo, but it is feared that iu
consequence of their wide-spread connec
tion, their atoppugo will cause other fail
ures in the manufacturing districts, as tho
cotton now lying to thoir order is, so far
as money is concerned, something enor
mous. Another firm, wbioh had boon
doing a good inland business in tho cot
ton trade, is, unfortunately for a largo
number of clients, oxpected to “go" to
day (Saturday.) The cotton trado is,
however, not alone in its scandals. A
gentleman connected with ono of tho most
eminent legal firms in Liverpool, has boon
absent for the last two days, and it is
understood that he now resides iu Genova.

•>lr. Urcflcjr’K Position in l k 0ll.
Au esteemed nud prominent citizen,
who is iu full idUliutiou with the Southern
opp uu.nls of Mr. Greeley, but who is
nevertheless anxious to do the reform can
didate justice, adcs us to define Mr. Gree
ley’s altitude toward tho South nt tho cut-
in euk of the war. Wo tuke pleasure in
complying with so courteous a request,
uml will do so by reproducing Mr. Gree
ley’s own utterances.
Aftor the electiou of Mr. Lincoln, the
foieshndowed actiou of the cotton States
was tukon. Secession began iu due and
solemn form. The consequent excite
ment in the North ran high, nnd the pub
lic spirit cried out for summary proceed
ings. So bitter and overwhelming was
the feeling against the South, that /u was
set down us a traitor to his country, who
dared to counsel deliberation or delay.
Ou the 9tli day of November, 18(50, two
lays after Mr. Lincoln’s election, the fol
lowing remarkable article appeared iu the
New York Tribune, written by Horace
Urcolcy :
‘Goino to (Jo.—The people of tho Uni
ted States havo indicated, according to
tho forms prescribed by the Constitution,
their desire that Ahruknm Lincoln, of Il
linois, shall be thoir next President, uml
Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, their Yice-
President. A very large plurality of the
popular voto bus been cast for them, and
u decided majority of Eloctois chosen,
will undoubtedly voto for and elect
i on the limt Wednesday iu December
next. Tho electoral votes will be formal
ly sealed up ami to warded to Washington,
thole to bo opened and counted, oil u giv-
duy in February next, in the presence
ot both Houses ut Congress ; nnd it will
then bo the duty of Mr. John C. Breckin
ridge, us President of tho Senate, to de
clare Lincoln and Hamlin duly elected
President and Vice-President of these
United States.
iuuio people do not like this, ns is
natural. Dogberry discovered, a
good while ago, that ‘When two ride a
horse, one must ude behind.' That is
not generally dt oiued u preferable seat;
but tlio rule remains unaffected by that
iroumslauce. Wo know how to sympa
thize with the defeated; for we remember
ire felt, when Aduuis was defeated:
und Clay, und Scott, und Fremont, it is
decide illy pleasanter to bo on the winning
side, especially when—as now—it happens
ulso to Do on the riyht side.
“Wo sympathize with the ulUictod : but
wo cannot recommend them to do any
thing desperate. What is the use? They
aro beaten now ; they may triumph next
lime: iu fact, they have generally h id
their own way. li.ul they Imou subjected
to tho discipline of adversity so oinm us
wo have, tluy would probably boar it with
more philosophy, and drp »rt thotusclvcs
more befittingly. We live to lean, and
Olio uf th<! most difficult acquirements in
that of meeting reverses with graceful
fortitude.
“Jim telegraph informs ns that most of
tho Cotton States aro meditating u with
drawal from the Union, because of Lin
coln's election. Very well: the}' have a
ight to meditate,and meditation is a prof
itable employment of leisure. We have
a chronic, invincible disbelief in disun
ion ns a remedy for either Northern or
Southern grievances. Wo cannot see any
necessary connection between the alleged
disease and this ultia-hcroicreined}; still,
we say, if any one sees lit to meditate dis
union, let him do so unmolested. That
was a huso utul hypocrite row that was
onto raised, at S< >111110111 dictation, about
the cars of John Quuicy Adauis, because
he presented a petition for the dissolution
of the Union. The petitioner had a right
to mako tho request; it was the member's
duty to present it. And now, if the Cot
ton States consider tlm value of the Union
detestable, wo maintain their perfect right
to discuss it. Nay: wo held, with Jeffer
son, to the inalienable right of communi
ties to alter or abolish forms ol govern
ment that havo become oppressive or in
jurious : aud, if tho Cotton States shall
decide I hut they cun do hotter out of the
Union than iu it, wo insist on letting tln m
go iu ponce, 'iho right to socedo may he
a rovolutiouarp 0110,but it exists neverthe
less; and we do not see how one putty
call have a right to do what another party
has a right to prevent. Wo mu-d over re
sist tin* asserted right of uuy State to re
main ill the Union, und nullify or defy
the laws thereof; to withdraw from the
Uiiiou is quite another mutter. And,
whenever a considerable section of our
Union shall deliberately resolve to go out,
we .shall resist all ooereive measures de
signed to keep it iu. We hopa never to
live iu a republic, whereof one scctiou is
pinned to the residue by buyout ts.
“But, whilo uu thus uphold the pract i
cal liberty, if not the abstract right, of se
cession,wo must insist that the step ho la
ken, if it over shall be, with the delibera
tion und gravity befitting so momentous
uu issue. Let ample tune be given lor re
duction; let tho hunjeet be l'uiiy canvussed
buiorc the people, and lot n popular vote
lie taken in every case, betoie seeussiou is
decreed. But, the people bo told just why
they are Asked to break up the confedera
tion; lei tie iu lmve both sides of the ques
tion luily presented ; let them rolled, de
liberate, then voto; und lot tho act of se
cession ho the echo of 1.11 unmisluknhlo,
popular fact. A judgment thus rendered,
u tii-uiuud lor separation so backed, would
either l>o acquiesced iu without the cliu-
sion of blood, or those who rushed upon
carnage to defy aud defeat it, would place
themselves clearly in tho wrong.
“Tho measures now being inaugurated
iu the Colton Stutcs, with a view (appa
rently) to secession, seem to us destitute
of gravity and legitimate forco. They
hear the unmistakable impress of haste*—
of passion—of distrust of the popular
judgment. They soeui clearly intended
10 precipitate the South iuto rebellion be
foro the baselessness uf tho clumors
which have misled and excited her, can
be ascertained by tho grout hotly ut ln-r
people. Wo trust thut they will be con
fronted with calmness, with dignity, and
with unwavering trust iu tho iuhorcut
strength of the Union and the loyalty of
the American poople."
Mich wero Mr. Greeley's first words to
his party and to ull parties, when it cost
more thau wo can now appruciate to utter
thorn.
How far they wero wiso and how far
prophetic, tho bloody interval enables tho
uiunl ordinary miud to comprehend : und
how reasonably they can bo ooustrued as
bitterly or mildly hostile to the Southern
States and people, it requires little fuir-
ucsh to discover.
Mr. Greeley was denounced by his par
ty for his conciliatory expressions, and it
is proposed to defeat him now for adher
ing to tho principles thou und thoruiu af
firmed.
Whilo it is true that tho subsequent war
with its bitterness aud animosities swept
tho writer of that artielo into the popular
current, let it not bo forgotleu that tho
same writer was tho first to counsel re
conciliation on the only enduring basis,
when hostilities ceased.
Wo do not urge Mr. Greeley upon our
people because he is icil/i us in ull things
that wo deem essential to a peaceful Na
tionality, but because, as Frusideut of tho
United States, he would bo incapable of
misinterpreting our notions, afflicting os
with unconstitutional aud arbitrary exac
tions,or sanctioning tho outrageous abuse
in the various departments of the Gov
ernment ondor which wo groau without
during to appeal.
