Letter from Gen. Gordon.
Baltimore, May 24,1372.
My Dear Sir: —Your letter ad
dressed to me at New York is receiv
ed ; and I hasten to give a frank an
swer to the questions it contains,
since not merely the compliment
conveyed in the request that 1 define
my position upon the matters now
absorbing the thoughts of Democrats,
but the duty incumbent upon every
man in this crisis to see that bis po
sition is neither misunderstood nor
misrepresented, demand both frank
ness anil promptitude.
You ask me first, whether I have
‘declared for Greeley r* I answer,
‘No.’
You ask, also, if it he true that I
‘favor his election ?’ If you mean by
this question to ascertain merely my
individual sentiments; I again answer
emphatically,‘No.’
Surely I need not tell you how
gladly I shall lend all the aid in my
power to the support of a Democrat
ic nominee, upon a Democratic plat
form, if the assembled wisdom of
the party, in Convention, shall de
cide upon a nomination.
To elect such a ticket, upon such
a platform, would be to bring back
life again to the Republic, readjust
the balances of Slate and Federal
authority and restore to the people
the Magna Charta of their liberties.
Indeed were I to consult my impulses
alone I should advise a Democratic
ticket, a Democratic fight under
Democratic banners,, even though
we might not win a Democratic vic
tory.
But if you ask me whether this be
wisdom —whether it be the best mode
to secure in the end the triumph of
Democratic principles and the free
dom ot our sister Southern States
from a military despotism—l reply
that tiiis is a question which l can
not as yet —which no man can ns
yet —presume to answer categori
cally, until the situation, its respon
sibilities, its opportunities and its
perils, have been discussed by the
Convention of Delegates, not yet as
sembled.
But I will sny briefly, that I think
it is vveil to have a National Conven
tion. It is tnofe than well— rt, is vi
tal that the party organize as a Dem
ocratic party ! It would be a Nation
al calamity—it would be a crime
against posterity to disband an or
ganization, which for seventy year*
has survived foreign and fcivil con
vulsions ; which has now the proud
sat isfaction of seeing some of its fun
damental principles recognised by
the wisest of its former antagonists,
and whose history ia the history of
whatever is beneficent, patriotic or
glorious in the political career of the
country. Let no Democrat, above
all, no Southern Democrat, talk ot
disbanding. So long as there is any
thing left of the Constitution, there
will be need for the party which has
always defended it.
Finally, let me express an earnest
hope that with the freest discussion
and most candid avowal of opinions,
no rash judgment may be formed of
the motives of any. Nomanis infal-<
lible. All in the South seek, doubt
less, the common good. They have
been too recently purified in the fires
of affliction to be other than honest,
and suffer too keenly now to be long
in discussing the best mode of relief.
Surely every man must see that all
our strength lies in unity of action.
Let us not divide into detachments,
alienated and embittered by contro
versies, previous to the assembling
of the Convention;
II it be thought best, in order to
defeat the destructive party to whose
misrule the South owes her ruin, and
from which the whole country suffers,
to vote even for Horace Greeley, let
no Democrat strengthen hands
ot his enemies by declaring that he
will not heed the voice of his party.
Most of us have been soldiers ! let
us remember wherein lies the might
of armies. If the Convention shall
say that victory and relief can be
most surely won by uniting in thi*
battle with all who oppose Federal
usurpations, 1 lor one, am ready to
obey its commands. And I should
do so, without feeling that our stand
ard had been lowered, or bur honor
tarnished by thus locking shields,
with former adversaries, for a final
charge. If only by the temporary
alliance of Democrats and Liberals,
the arch enemies of justice and of
freeedom can be defeated, and real,
substantial benefit secured to the
country, what man will be ashamed
that he sacrificed individual prefer
ences or personal feeling to rescue
the Constitution and save the liber
ties of the. people ?
Very truly, Yours,
J. B. GORDON.

A Letter from Gen. Beauregard.
The New Orleans Times of the
20th ult.. publishes a letter from
Gen. Beauregard, from which we
make the following extracts :
New Orleans, May 23, ’72.
******
It is but seldom 1 lake a pan in
politics, which offer generally little
attraction to me : but .wlu-n ’-be ques-
tions at issue are vital to the sat* ly
ot our instil hi ions and welfare of the
State or country, every patriot should
step to the front and assume the in
dividual responsibility which be
longs to a proper manhood. We
have reached, 1 think, one of those
critical periods in our history when
we should ‘bung out our banners on
the outer walls.’ We are now in
greater danger of losing our liberties
and the little that is left of our prop
erly than in the fatal year of 13G5.
We had then ‘hope’ to guide and
cheer us along the dreary path we
had before 11s ; but now all is dark
ness and gloom above the horizon,
arid we should be careful in the
choice of the pilots who are to take
us to a port of safety ; rhey stimild
be well acquainted with the bars
and quicksands which lav in our
course. *****
I proclaim it as my conviction,
that the hour has struck when the
voice of the people shall lie heard,
reverberating in loud and clear tones,
from one end of the Union to the
other. In times of national peril it
is our privilege, as well asourrighi,
to be heard in public assemblies,
and no citizen should shirk that sa
cred duty.
To me it appeals plain that to in
sure success, we must all unite un
der the banner of ‘the Constitution
and the laws,’ ‘reunion and reform,’
‘honesty and universal amnesty. ’
That banner has been lately raised
at Cincinnaii, under the leadership
of Greeley and Brown ; in die past
two of our most earnest and danger
ous enemies, but two, also, of the
purest and most honest of men, who,
when they shall have said to the
country, ‘Let us have peace,’ will
mean it, and will give us peace, in
spite of all opposition. For inj pail
I prefer having as a friend one who
has been my open and fearless an
tagonist, to one who has ‘friendship
on his lips, but hatred in his heart!’
In conclusion, may l ask my
friends if we are likely to go amiss
by following the example of such
men as Seymour and Blair, Demo
cratic candidates for President and
Vice President in lS6B,.andof Chits,
F. Adams, who would have been
very acceptable to the Democrats,
it is said, if chosen by the Cincinna
ti Convention in preference to Hor
ace Gieeley i Those gentlemen, we
are informed, approved and endors
ed the nomination of Messrs. Gree
ley and Brown, and adopted the
Liberal Republican platform ! Why
should we be more hypocritical than
they are? Are they not supposed to
be belter judges than we are of the
merits and qualifications of the can
didates who can or should command
success ? Let us then bury the hatch
et, forget and forgive, on both sides,
and march in solid phalanx to reform
and victory.
G. T. BEAUREGARD.
Kentucky —A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer has been on
a tour of political observation in
Kentucky, and represents men and
journals throughout the Stale as zeal
ously in favor of the Cincinnati nom
inees. He made inquiries of nearly
all the conspicuous. men of the Slate,
including Col, Breckinridge, cousin
of John C. and son of the Rev. Rob
ert J. Breckinridge, General Leslie
Combs, Col. Morgan, Col. Mason
Brown, Gen. Robinson, and others.
These gentlemen were all free to
admit the overwhelming enthusiasm
for Greeley and Brown, and the ab
solute madness of attempting 10 play
false with the Liberals at Baltimore.
There are one hundred and six
Democratic Representatives in Con
gress, and a change of nineteen is
is all that is required to give Demo
crats the control of the Hou*. Says
the Courier-Journal: “The support
of the Liberal Republican Presidens
tial ticket will naturally have the ef
fect of increasing our Congressional
representation. Let the Democrats
but do their dnty and the day is at
hand for the restoration of constitu
tional government.
Gen. Roger A. Pryor, a Confed
erate General during our late war,
and a resident of New York since,
asseris that August Belmont’s oppo
sition to the ratification of the Cin
cinnati nominations grows out of the
fact that M/. Belmont belongs to the
“Syndicate,” has large dealings with
the Treasury Department, is on the
best (financial) terms with the Ad
ministration, and secretly wants
such action at Baliimote as will se
cure Grant’s re-election.
The New Haven R rgister thus
speaks of Horace-Gieelry’s letter of
acceptance:
Mr. Greeley d*cl ires that he is in
favor of casting behind us llie ‘wreck
and rubbish of worn out contentions
and by-gone feuds.’ Mr. Greeley
declares in more explicit terms th in
we had any reason to expect, in fa
vor of local sell-gnvernmeui and
giving to the citizens ‘the largest lib
eriy consistent with public order.’
This declaration is all the more
gratifying, because it bus been in a
measure unexpected. Taking the
letter as a whole, we predict that it
will incline to Mr. Greeley's support
many who have not looked upon bis
nomination with lavor. If there is
nothing in it which Democrats can
not endorse, or which conflicts with
the teaching ol the party, we confess
tbut we have not discovered it..
The Bridgeport Former, which has
zealously opposed this Greeley move
ment, and, The Times, counselled by
Democrats to remain quiet and
wait for the action of the Baltimore
Convention, on Wednesday came
out with the following article:
It will also be observed that Mr.
Greely has unmistakably put his
past record behind him and has tak
en a ‘new departure’ in his terse
and ringing declaration in favor of
local self-government as opposed to
the centralization doctrines of the
Republican party leaders, in favor of
restoring and upholding the wtii of
habeas corpus as the safeguard ~|
sound democratic doctrine, con pled
with his emphatic declaration ‘that
the individual citizen should enjoy
the largest libarly consistent with
public order,’ and his prominent po
sition on general amnesty, show with
marked distinctness what a wonder
ful stride Mr. Greeley has taken
from his late associates and how
thoroughly he has discarded the vi
tal principles of the Radical parly.
It is a hopeful sign of the times that
men of Mr. Greeley’s abiliiy and
standing are thus willing to revise
their opinions and retrace their steps
towards a constitutional government.
On the tariff question Mr. Greelev
approves of the course first proposed
by him and adopted by the Conven
tion, to remit that question to the
people ,in the Congressional elec
tions. The letter, will on the whole,
materially increase Mr. Greeley’s
strength with those who h.tve been
looking to Cincinnati for relief from
the evils of the Grant administru
tion, will prove another thorn in the
flesh of the Philadelphia Convention
plotters, and will tend somewhat to
increase the disposition in certain
quarters to press his adoption bv the
Democratic Convention. The situ
ation grows in interest and demands
cool and unpassioned consideration
at the hands of every lover of his
country.
There is not a clearer-headed man
in the United States than Jeremiah
S> Black, not one who has the pow
er of saying as much in a few words.
The following is his view of affairs
as they exist under Grant’s admin.-
tration:
“As we gain our liberties through
revolution, it is a popular error to
suppose that they are lost through
violence. The loss comes in the
slow, subtly and insidious encroach
ment that first rots, and then it eeiz
es, as the boa constrictor slimes over
what it swallows. All is gone be
fore we awaken to the danger of its
going, and then comes revolution
arid blood to regain what we have
willingly parted with. Now the rev
enues of the Government are used
to enrich incorporated monopolists,
Legislatures are owned by railroad
companies, Senatorial chairs are
opanly sold to the highest bidders,
our courts are packed and corrupted,
the Presidency fought over by fac
tions, while, the people are ground
down by heavy taxation so arranged
as tp rob from labor to enrich the
capitalists, and we suffer from hard
times that come of bad government.
How much longer this will be borne
God only knows; but unless human
nature is greatly changed* sooner or
later there will be resistance,”
„ - ——
Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, tells
a newspaper correspondent that it is
useless for the Democracy to go to
Baltimore to nominate a straight
ticket, and thus re-elect Grant. ‘The
Democracy is not strong’ enough,’
he adds, *to succeed without the
help of the Liberal Republicans.
There are enough opponents to G rant
to defeat him if they will work to
gether. The great object should be
to break Grant’s centralization and
military ring, ami bring the Govern
ment back to a civil basis. Men
should forget mere party long enough
to accomplish this. The idea that
the endorsement of Gfreeley will
break up the Democratic party, I do
not agree to. The parly is strong
enough, with the aid of the Liberals,
to defeat Grant, and not suffer, but
rather be benelitted by it.’— Exch.

James C. Robinson, of Illinois, re
ceieved this morning a letter from
lion. George H. Pendleton, in
which strong grounds is taken in
favor of the endorsement of Greeley
at Baltimore. Mr. Pendleton says
that it is hopeless to attempt a party
nomination, and that the choice has
to be made between Grant and
Greeley. He also says that only
two classes are opposed to Greeley’s
endorsement, aird that they are—
first, those who are too foolish to
see that it is the only chance for a
Imure good Government; anil, se

Genuine Sorrow.— During the Clay

of the Hon. Walter Brooke, of Mi t .

ed btm to bet a pair of matched
horses, all the stock he had, on the
result; and this though a strict
member of the Presbyterian church.
Os course he lost, and ot course he.
was, “churched” for gaming. “All
we ask of you, Mr. Brooke,” aaid
the minister, during the trial, “is to
acknowledge that you are sorry, and
promise to sin no more.” “Sorry?”
asked Mr. Brooke, rising front bis
seal with an air of injured inno
cence; “sorry? My dear brother,
when I think of those beautiful Days,
gone from my gaze forever, l can'
truly say, with my hand trpon my
heart, that no transaction of my file
gives me more geauine sorrow than
this.
When Handel once undertook, in
a crowded church, to play the dis
missal on a very fine organ there,
the whole congregation became so
entranced with delight that not an
.individual could stir, till at length
the usual organist.came impatiently
forward and took his seat, saying,
m a tone ol acknowledged superior
ly: “You cannot dismiss a con- -
gregation. See how I can disperse
them.” “
A Scotchman, observing that the
once white linen of one of his em
ployees had, through long absence
of soap and water, become a baay
black, inquired, as a prelude to a
homily on cleanliness, how often be
had his shirt washed. “Once a
month,” was the reply. “Why, 1
