t,,n• member of t'ortgress.
Should the nomination be conceded to thia county,
we recognize the importance of presenting one who

Accident to Judge Vilma,
Editor Acjitutor:—For fear tlpit untrue reports luny
be circulated about the late accident to Judge Wilson,
I think it proper to state the facts as briefly ua porni
lac. Judge Wilsbn and myself were passing down
Brion's hill, one mile and a half from Liberty village,
in Vriday last, when the nockyoko broke and let the
wagon on the horses. 'The bill being very steep and
the horses unmanageable, we were thrown into a ditch
among some Inge sandstone, the body of the wagon
tiling on us. Judgo Wilson was quite badly bruised,
nirbones were broken, and ho will be all right iu
days. And farther, I would say to his. friends
• ~, may have expected to receive a call from him be-
Catiells election next Saturday, that owing to
t , 1(1 ,, Ilt it will in all probability be impossible for
cal! upon you, but that ho will heartily and fol
k %,i,reeiate and gratefully remember anyeffort Which
may make to secure his nomination for the Wilco

A Zst intelligent correspondent of the*

I . the political situatiopias follows:
"A fire talk with men of all clai;Z:Fr in Northern
Penn.ylvania and 'Western Now Turk, with traveiets
from all sections, has convinced us that the Greeley
movement is an immense bubble held lagethee
eirer,st bombast--a shell as 110110 W as Sherman found
that of the Confederacy when be marched from 'At
lanta to the Sea.' It has no real Strength beyond the
borders of the more intense rebel States."
The Pennsylvania State kqual Rights
League has issued a call to the leagues of
this state, and to the citizens who are yet
debarred of equality, earnestly urging them
to attend the annual meeting of the League,
which willotivene in Harrisburg on Tuca-*
day, Atigtist 20, 1872, at 10 a. m. The call
is a most eloquent review of the political
Aituation, and we regret that the pressure
upon our columns prevents its publication
in full.
Another Greeley Slander Nailed.
It has been falsely reported that M. H.
Cobb, formerly editor of the AGITATOR, is
a Greeley man. To those who know Mr.

The Tnloffie of last Thursday contains a
leader under the above caption which has
nothing to say as to Mr. Greeley's secession
notions of 1860; . but which undertakes to
show that it was •his chief. anxiety; from
first to last, that slavery should gain no ad
vantage in the struggle, whether trete War
or peace, victory or eempromise. That
even this modified claim is entirely too ex
travaga»t, is at once manifest to every per
son who 'reflects that after some of the Sou:

others were preparing to join them in set.

in the struggle; hi§ chief anxiety was that
there should be no struggle against theslave

those dogmas as he ' vas in' 1860, When he
was wll4ncto,sn4r, the 11"WilitAtion.- - ,ott , the
Nation that they might be carried into prac
tice. The article to 'Which we have above
referred is chiefly reinarkable for, the_ fact
that while it fs entitled "Mi. Greeley and
the Union," it does not even pretend to. show
his loyalty. to,the Union_ The fact speaks
well for the discretion of Mr. Grecley's ad
vocate, and it is no less signilicant•as to its
Client's political unsoundness. ' '
It is of Halt comparative importance to
day whether the Democratic candidate was
a consistent anti-slavery. martliithe past or
not:AN - bile : it:is of .cast and- Abiding impor
tance; now'and always, that every; Man as
piring to the Presidency should be a firm
believer in those great fundamental doc
trines which lie at the very foundation of
our Government. One of the very first of
these is the truth that the United State com
pose a Nation and not a t 'i Confederation,"
us Mr. Greeley styled it in 1860, and that no
Possible,combinations of citizens or .Stittes
have a right to break up the Union. If
there is anything absolutely necessary to the
existence of the Republic, it is the unswerv
ing maintenance of this political truth:—
Yield it, and the Government becomes a
rope of sand. But this is the point upon
which Mr. Greeley is confessedly unsound.
This necessary doctrine, maintained by
Jackson, by 11+shall, by Story, by Clay,
by Webster, is t le very one that is contro
verted by Iforac - Greeley! ' 11;4 most inti
mateliiends an 1 warmest partisans do not
deny that he holds this political heresy; but
some of the smaller fry who, train in that
motley crowd affirm that he neve:r avowed
it. Let us see. A few weeks ago ‘e quo
ted from the .Tribune of 186( to establish
this point; but, as We stated at the time, we
did so at second hand, not having a tile of
that journal withirrreach. A gentleman of
this village has since furnished us with Mr.
Greel4's paper of ihat date, mid the quota
tiocns which we now make are directly from
its columns. On prkday, November 30th,

The following paragraph was written by_
Horace Greeley less than a year ago—Au
gust 18, 1871=-,and he deverpenned a truer
one. It was written • expressly of the very
contest in which We are now engaged,, at a
time *hen fdr. Greeley had no personal am
bition to blind him to the truth. Now that
we are threatened with the grave, national
calamity which Jte sci strongly deprecated,
let every Republican ponder well this sol
emn warning of Horace Greeley when he
was iforare Greeley and not a Demecratic
decoy:"
"The personal views of Mr. Greeley are
exactly these. He favors the one-term prin
ciple, and believes that another Republican
candidate can be selected who will encoun
ter less opposition z and win more support
than Gen. Grant, and he therefore advocates
such' selection. But should his vitws:be
overruled, and' Gin. Qrant nominated., he
holds his elettion, infinitely preferable to
hat of any candidate ;whom' the Democrats
may nominate; kir' a Dernecratic triumph
involves the return to power of the great
wws of those who for years plotted the
r.tytien of Apr Union, and at length forced
the Sonter,ri Rates into secession and rebel
