THE expositor W *_'rNESI3OBO’, C3-A. PMii'i SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12. 1872. ggPP—■ L.— FOll PRESIDENT, HORACE GREELEY, OF NKW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, R. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISPOt'RI. FIRST DISTRICT —FOR COROKRSS : MOR O- A IST RAWLS, OF EFKINOUAM COI’NTY. Push on the Column in Georgia. The reverses in Ohio, Indiana and Fensylvania, says the Telegraph Sf Jfes teugtr, must not check or retard,for one moment, the victorious march of the j Democratic column in Georgia. Wo most carry the flag that floats so proud ly in this part of the field triumphantly to the close, no matter where else it may droop or trail in the du.lt. Wo have our own specially appointed work to do here , without regard to what hap pens elsewhere. Georgia Can and must record her vote against Grantisin in No vember even if every other State in the Union failed to do so. We hare also a great stake still to play for in the Congressional elections. We can and should send an litinrdftlh •olid delegation of nine honest men Id represent ns iu the National couucil. Whatever losses the result last Tuesday may disclose in other States must ho made up, as far as possible, iu this. We have only five members in the pres ent Congress, but we cau and must have nine in the next. The opposition have becu overwhelmingly debated and demoralized, and easy victory is v,i*hin our reach. All that is needed is a vote. Grant may be re-elected, but with one House of‘Congress against him he will be powerless for mischief. Let us see to it that as to the Democracy of Geor gia, that majority is secure so far as nine votes can effect it. Let us uot put off our armor until the last combat is cod ed and Georgia has vindieted her claim to the honor of having gloridusly stem med, within her borders, tho whelmiug tide of Radicalism. We must carry every district in the State or lose that honor. Shall it not be done ? *-•—* r , Hew Yor , Tribune on Georgia. The New York Tnlmne bfOctober 3d, has the following double-leaded edi torial on the Georgia electio* : 1 * Georgia. —A great victory baa been won in Georgia over the combined hosts of corruptionists and carpet-baggers. Got. James M. Smith, the Liberal De mocratic candidate, has been re-elected by an overwhelming majority. Returns are incomplete, as many of the interior counties are difficult of access, and ma ny days must pass before they can be fully heard from. Associated Press dispatches estimate the majority at the almost incredible figure ' of 50,000 ! We are not disposed yet toclaim these generous figures, though, it is now lively that a larger vote than was expected has been vast. Our special correspon dence from Georgia, and general reports hare prepared us for a light yotc and a much more modest majority—say qbout 5,000 ; and those figures represent The most the Tribune has claimed. But 50,000! The verdict in Georgia is certaiuly conclusive. The slight riotiug which occurred in one or two places is deeply to be de plored. The associated Press dispatches and our own advices alike ludicate the negroes as the original agressors, and make manifest a preconcerted* plan pn the part of their advisors for settling wp a claim of intimidation at the polls. But men whose patriotism rises above party, whether they favor Greeley or Grant, will recoguize in these disturb an ccs the inevitable danger of parly di visions along rigid lines of race or color. The reported majority—which we can well afford to see reduced, since it M unexpected aud unprecedented—is Georgia’s protest against the carpet bag politics which have despoiled the State, and against corruption and usurp ation in high places? It is a “clear and ringing rebuke of the National Admin istration that sustained and' encouraged the Bullocks and th# Wall Street al lies in the plunder of the South. It is a rebuke that will be re-echo od next week in three great central‘States of (be Union. Even the roepeotabihty of j the ticket which was put up Uy the Glot Republicans has not been ablo i to stay the rising tide. What then shall wo look for when tho honest men of Pennsylvania come to pass judgment on Hartranft and Cameron; what when Indiana makes choice between Hen dricks and Morton ? [com municatkd. MY POSITION. Mr. Jus. H. Front, Editor Expositor : I thank you for a past favor and again ask tho privilege of a short space in your valued columns, this time I ad dress myself to tho consistent Do in tcru cv of the county. In writing this arti ' clo for the public eye, I only comply with the expressed wishes of friends, and feel it n duty no less to them than to myself. lam informed that certain patriots malign and slander me for the reason that L have seen proper to treat a certain Revenue Official with polite ness instead of turning upon him the cold shoulder of contempt, and that more than all I permitted him during the’late election to “dish out’ 1 his tick ets to Republican voters at my place of business. To these charges I waive examination and plead guilty —offering in my defence only the following remarks. I respect Mr. W -as a gentleman and personal friend, notwithstanding his li e of po litics. My conduct towards him was j prompted by a pure self-respect and de sire to be kiud even to those with whom I honestly differ in opiniou. Tam wil ling to accord to etery party and all citi zens of the United States—that right which T claim myself under the Constitution the right of having an opinion of my own and exercising that right unmolested. My i personal politcal position will be seen by \ the following assertions : I do not think , Mr. Greeley politically different from General Grant, but believe him to be an abler scholar, a better statesman, a purer man, an honest civilian, and he is for these reasons alone the most de sirable of the two, as the Chief Magis trate. I shall vote for Mr. Greeley, for I believe, with him as President would be ushered in an era of kind feel ing and good will to all, and thr 4 l bay onet rule and carpet-bag governments would be thingsof the dead past never to be resurrected—a desideratum certainly to be desired by every lover of liberty. Respectfully, B. F. Dike. i* . + The Electoral Vote.—As the in terest jo political matters increases there is frequeut occasion to refer to the ta ble showing the electoral vote of the States, and iu answer to many inquiries we publish the table, with the suggestion that those who desire will cut it out and preserve it for easy reference : i Alabama 10 Nebraska 3 Arkansas 0 Nevada 3 Catiffirnia 6 New Hampshire 5 Connecticut....... 6 New Jersey 9 Delaware 3 New York 35 Florida 4 North Carolina... 10 Georgia 11 Ohio 23 Illinois 21 Oregon 3 Indiana .. 15 Pennsylvania 29 iowa.... ..ll Khode Island 4 Kansas.- 5 South Carolina 7 | Kentucky ........ 12 Tennes-ed .‘.‘.12 .Louisiana......'.. 8 Texas..; 8 Maine, 7 Vermont.... ,5 'Maryland 8 Virginia 11 Massachusetts 13 West Virginia .... 5 Michigan 13 Wisconsin 10 Minnesota 5 Mississippi., 8 Total 306 Missouri 15 Nec’ary to-choice 181 ■ —w — r Beefsteak. —A complacent landlord of a hash house, at breakfast, the other ! morning, planted his thumbs in his vest I armholes, leaued significantly back in hischair and said, “Gentlemen, where do you think that beefsteak came from?” j “From near the horn,” was the quiet reply of one of the boarders. The land lord hasn’t put any conundrums to his boarders since. r ■’ ' '—- ♦ ♦ Mr. Greeley’s Advice to Colored Men. —‘ln Jonesvillc Mr. Greeley was i waited upon by Messrs. Perkins, Bar ber, Curtis and Cowler, colored speak -1 ers, who came to ask his views as to | the future of the colored race. They said that negroes who dared to proclaim | themselves as friends to the Democratic patty wero on that account proscribed by the’r own race. All that lie could I do Was to give them a fair chance with I the whites. They must make their I Own future ; that the idea of a mule and 1 forty-acTes of land was a fraud and a deception. They should remember that 1 their interests would be injured by band- I ing themselves together in favor of one party. ! Hal Gates and Thomas Pye, two colored gents, engaged in a social stab bing affray on Thursbay. Gates got the worst of the argument, [From tins Dnltiinore Suit] MR. GREELEY’S LATE SPEECHES. After a two weeks’ tour in the W est, Mr. Greeley has returned to New York, having appeared in various parts of the country before vast popular assemblages of men, whoso votes ho socks in behalf of a cause which lie believes involves the pacification of tho government. As lie himself has said it has long been a part of the unwrittin law of our politics that a Presidential candidate shall not go before the people and discuss his own claims. This historical precedent he has soon fit to disregard, in view of his great cause. Still, it is not every aspirant to the Presidency who might not damage his prospects by addressing popular audiences,and therefore it might be expedient for some to enrobe them selves in Dignitjf. and have it under stood that silence is also statesmanship. But Mr. Greeley seems to have scon no reason why he should not look his coun trymen in the face, nor why lie should confine himself in his addresses to them to non-political topics. lie has now re turned to New York, after an absence of some five or six speeches, of various lengths, almost every day. His audi ences have been vast, aud of all shades of national aud local politics and ideas; yet, if he has ever failed of speaking appropriately to the audience and the occasion, if has ever tailed of eliciting those sympathies which make the whole world kin, it he has ever been [indis creet in one of his utterances, or irritat iug or uncharitable iu a single word or expression, we de not know when or where those faults cau be justly laid to his charge. There may be some who cannot understand what an achieve-- ment this is, but it is because they can not realize its difficulties, and uow do not know even the magnetism of an j immense audience, in enthusiastic ac- i cord with a speaker, to tempt the most practiced orator to forget his discretion and spread his sails to tho favoring breeze without an eye to the helm. Mr. Greeley has come out from the new and trying ordeal to which he has j been subjected uot only without damage to his reputation, but with new laurels, showing a fertility and versatility of I powers which are really amazing, and | uot injuring the effect by a single one of j the numerous indiscretions which bis; enemies predicted. Far superior, how ever, to the intellectual triumph, is his identifying liimselt with the great senti ment of reconciliation which pervades the hearts and minds of the country, and of which he is. also of honesty aud i faithful service in public officers. What ever the result of the canvass, it is to be hoped that tho good seed which Mr. Greeley has sown broadcast will in due time take root, and the real instead of the nominal reunion, decentralization of power, and the right of the American ; people to manage their own affairs will eveutually be triuulphant. Pendleton on Greeley. — Hon. Geo. 11. Pendleton made a very eloquent speech on the political crisis at Cincin nati, last Monday week. It strikes us the following passage is worthy of con sideration by Democrats who refuse to vote for Mr. Greeley : Is there any Democrat who halts and doubts as to his cause ? Is there any who fears for his consistency, or doubts the duty of partriotism ? I love the Democratic party; I know its courage ; I know its purity ; l believe in its prin ciples ; I revere its wisdom; when it speaks I will obey. “All men arc wiser than one man.” When its wisdom and purity shall point out the cause and lead the way, what Democrat shall say he caunot treat the path with honor and consistency ? When its patriotism shall counsel, what Democrat shall say that he is too pure to follow the advice ? When its lofty spirit shall banish par tizan pride, what Democrat shall say he is too proud to follow the example ? I do cot expect Mr. Greeley, if elected to give us a partisan Administration. I would not respect him if he should do so; it would be coutrary to the spirit of this movement; but he has promised that he will give us purity aud honesty in Administration, and it is folly to re fuse these, because we can obtaiu no more. — “As long ago as the the 12*h of May, I said Horace Greeley was the secession candidate”—says brave Wendell PhiP lips. Why, certaiuly, you did; and you said, also, in August, 1808, that “Grant was an idiot, and not fit to be Presid ent” Being up for reminiscences, don’t let us forget either, Wendell, New Advertisements.

B.—Certificates as to merits can be furnished if desired. octl^-dm WE once more earnestly solicit the atteo tiou of our people to the enterprise fnr the erection of a monument in honor of the Confederate Dead of Geirrgia and others who were killed orMutd on Georgia soil. The time for the distribution is rapidly appiaching. It will take place in this city W the 4ih of December next, Deo Toledo. There will positively be no postponement. AH sales will stop on the 2Utli of November. The fate of this effort will be decided then. Our people will exhibit their gratitude for the bloody sacrifices of their brave defenders, or exhibit to the world their cold indilfer ence. They will exhibit their pride or its loss; their appreciation of those who fed in service, or a disregard uf the noblest sacri fice which man can make for his own land, his people and their homes. We y et believe the spirits of the dead s 1,111 haunt the land they loved and for which they died. We yet believe that those who live in these haunts of love will.- übstusaiully prove their devotion to rhe dead : ‘S<i!dier.s in Gray.” Hundreds, yea thousand*, upon thousands, will wish to become shareholders in the tribute to their fame betweenbow atkl the 2fUh of November. We most respect fully request them to reflect. Those thous ands of names thrown upon us al tire last moment may so overwhelm us as tofnake lt impossible to prepare all of their certificates, record their names, mail them and prepare the numbers for tile drawing on the 4f!t of December. Hence much money may be necessarily returned, to the detriment of the cause and their disappointment in the chances at tpe distribution of the pruys. Let those, then, who have the means at and intend to contribute do- so at once. If some are not ready ami must wait; let ilaßr eo - tributions come as* soon as they are jibly to make them to the-Agents in their ttidality, or to this oflice.
