Your letter of May IS was duly received, but ns you did not ask for a reply I thought that you would not feel hurt at my sileuee. 1 should have written to you, however, but for the folliiwiiifjeoiisiilerations: lhavelieen of the opinion for more than a year that to give us any chance of success in the election next fall the movement indicating the policy and the man must come from the people and not from the politicians, and especially that the Democratic members of Congress should abstain from entering into any coalitions, and from everything that might look like dictating tin course of the party. And this was the view very generally taken by the members. Individually, 1 preferred lighting under the Democratic banner, with a straight Democratic ticket; but I could not shut my eyes "to the fact that a great many good Democrats were of a different opinion. And to me; it seemed clear that any course that did not emanate front the masses of the par- Iv would suivlv tail. Acting on this pr on tins piin- tn- i uii r iuh m m a iiin i in- 1. i ......1 many letters that 1 have received upon the subject. Not that I was unwilling to ex press my opinions, or to take my share of the rcsjioiiMhilitv; but because, occuiiving the position I do, I thought it the part of; xysuum ami patriotism not to imeriere witn i the formation of an opinion bv the peool the only opinion that could be safely followed by the opponents ot the Itadical party. I condemn no man who took a different view cf his. duty, but 1 think that time and event, have rdiown that mine was correct. The nomination of (tre-ley and Prown by the Baltimore Convention was th" work of the pcop!e. The p.iptii-'ans had very litth r liothii g to do with it. It was a tidal wave that swallowed up everything in its way. The true explanation of it is tha' the people mean to have a change of Administration ; and they wi'.l not let pride or prcjiidice stand in the way of Mird-. Net that the Dem ocratic party abandons its principles ; for it docs nothing of the sort. On tlie contrary alleging as u truly does thai the course of the Uai'tical leaders in the White Hons.' and in Congress threatens to destroy all consti tutional and democratic government it is bound by its principles to seek the overthrow of those leaders. And if it cannot overthrow them in precisely the mode it would prefer it is but common sense to take the next best mode. Therefore, although I would have Wen ph ased had our party unanimously re solved to make a straight Democratic fight, I am now (since the party has so willed it, and believing that the welfare and HWrtv of the country rcouire the defeat, of the pre- sent Administration) firmly resolved to work ' wit U earnestness and zeal for the election of 1 ley has opposed the Democratic party is it : not better to elect a man who has frankly and openly opposed us in time past, but w ho ' now, in many things, agrees with ns, than to : help to elect a renegade l emocrat like (I rant, j w ho was once with, but is now opjwjsed to i us in everything?

Jim w ho is ...:n:.. . . , . .. there willing to throw his franchise awavV Who is there who places so little value upon it that he will not exercise it? Who is there ready to acknowledge that he is so weak that he cannot make up his mind, and there fore will not vote at all? I trust thai no Democrt will W found in any such category. Let every man w ho hesitates reflect thatany change of administration is likely to Ik; for the Wtter, and that certainly it cannot W for the worse. I am your friend truly, A. (J. Tlll ItMAX. Coi.oxei. S. D. Fkkemax, who resides in Sniethport, Melvcanciinty, in this State, the Grant elector in his district, and who is also a memkr of the Republican State Central Committee, has addressed the fol lowing brief letter to Russell Krrett, Chair man of that Committee, in which he resigns both positions. Of course his letter means a declaration in favor of Horace Greeley: Smethvokt, July 0.

As a slight evidence of what his own party has in stoie for him and how intense ly hot will be the political gridiron it is preparing for him, we take the following from the Chambers-burg lit poxii 'ory, the organ of the radical party in Franklin county: "If it be true that General White must re sign one til" these nominations, it was a piece of inhuman cruelty, besides Wing unpardon ed y stupid in the convention, to give them to him. He was never known to resign any thing except a combat with the Confederates, and the inlluences that moved him to do that do not operate in this case. He would be as unwilling to give up one of these badly con sidered nominations as a baby to surrender a rattle, ami they please him just as a toy tickles a child. We can assure him that Franklin county republicans will take deci ded satisfaction in showing their apprecia tion of his merits and distinguished services at the polls if he remain on the eonngression al ticket. If he can get a thousand out of the forty-five hundred republican votes of the county he will astonish every person at his extraordinary strength. We are not par ticularly anxious, however, to see him with draw, W anse the sacrifice of a congressman may 1 more than compensated by the Wnc fit to the state in teaching nominating con ventions a much needed lesson." iJoux H. IJailet, l-p, of Pittsburgh, is among the most prominent and able Dem ocrats in Allegheny county. He was one of tlie delegates from that county to the Baltimore Convention, and cf all the mem bers of the delegation from this Stae, 7tr was perhaps the most pronounced and ont- stM,ke,, against the nomination of Hornee o - - - Greeley or any man w ho was not a straight out Democrat. .Mr. Bailey wastemporary Chairman of the Allegheny County Demo cratic Convention, w hich met on Tuesday hist, ar.d in the published report of his ad dress to that body we find the following, which we commend to the thoughtful con sideration of Democrats who la id the ?aine views as he did b-fure the Baltimore Con vention was held : Although he recognized that the Conven tion had met for work, not words, yet lie had to trespass on their indulgence while he spoke ol a matter in a measure, but not whol ly, personal.

He said that if he did not misunderstand tin- purjiose of the Democracy lit re and elstr where, they went into tin; conflict to icin, and would bring to it the indomitable reso lution that had in all time made the demoe r:icy terrible to their adversaries, in every hour of the campaign. It was -no matter that some might not have the leader of their choice; they could educate them by the fiery zeal they would bring to the contest, and may God defend the right. The speaker's remarks were heartily applauded. "Wii.mam IIaktley, Esq. Tlie Fast Brady Inileprndcu', edited by Col. Sam. Young, a w arm personal friend of General Allen, thus rebukes the slanderous radical press of the State for their unwarranted attacks upon Mr. Hartley, the Democratic candidate for Auditor General : Every utterance against Mr. Hartley is fatso from bejfinniiif to end, ami though we are not a partisan of his, yet wo are free to tlo an act of justice to a worthy gentleman and save from defamation and abuse as fair a name as is found in our commonwealth. We deny that he was a rebel during the war, we deny that through his instrumentality a strife was fomented in a Methodist church ; we allege that he pays all bills promptly when they are col lect, but he will refuse when they are er roneous. He litis paid out thousands of dollars in developing our oil fields yet he never accepted one dohar dishonestly, nor refused to men wages which he contracted. Yet all these charges are brought to bear against him, and, without contradiction, may find believers. We find that very respectable paper, the Kittaimiiig Free J'rcx, copying the vale slander from the Holhdaysburg '(. reiterating the shanu less lies without comment, thus at tempting to establish their truth. lA-t Mr. Hartley le what he may in poli tics, he is thoroughly, eonsciontiously hon est in business, ami no act of his life can be pointed out to discredit this assertion. The only "overt" act that ho did during the war was, when that same editor just referred to siueringly called him a hard name, in taking that creatine by the throat ami giving him a good choking. Mr. Hartley is too well known through out this region to sutler from such stones and we regret that any one allows his par tisan feeling to drag him dow n to these lower depths of falsehood in older to carry a point. - The Catholic Mirror, which of course takes no part in political questions or issues, says: ''The nomination of Mr. Greeley at ( llleioieil i t ...t. .l . ....l. . , .

Another Statesmanlike Letter ' - ThefolltiwingisGreeley'sletteraccepting the Baltimore nomination, in reply to the ' letter of the Committee appointed, to notify him thereof : New York, July 18. j Gexteemex: Upon mature deliberation, it seems lit that I should give to your letter of the 10th iust. some further and fuller ; resionse than the hasty, unpremeditated words in which I acknowledged and ac- -; cepted your nomination at our meeting on : the 12th. That your Convention saw lit to accord its highest honor to one who had been prominently and pointedly opposed to your party in the earnest and sometimes : angry controversies of the last forty years, is essentially noteworthy; that many of you originally believe that the Liberal Repub- ; licans should present another candidate for : President, and would more readily have united with us in support of Atlams,Truin bull, Davis or Brown, is well known. 1 owe my adoption at Baltimore wholly to the fact that I had already been nominated at Cincinnati, and that a concentration of forces on any new ticket had been proved impracticable. Gratified as I am at your concurrence in the Cincinnati nominations, certain as I am that you could not have thus concuired had you not deemed me upright and capable, I find nothing in the circumstance calculated to inilame vanity or nourish self-conceit; but that your conven tion saw lit, in adopting tho Cincinnati ticket, to reaffirm the Cincinnati platform, is to me a source of the profoundest satis faction. That body was constrained to tiike this imjMirtant step by no party ne cessity, real or supjosed. It might have accepted the candidates of the Liberal Republicans on grounds of its own, or it might have presented them as the first Whig Convention did Harrison and Tyler, without adopting any platform whatever. That it chose to plant itself deliberately, by a vote nearly unanimous, nt-on the fullest and clearest cmuici.oion i f principle, w hich are at onct: inconteslibly Republican and emphatically Dcmocrr't ie, gives a trust worthy assurance that a new ar.d more auspicious era is dawning upon our long distracted coir.itry.t Some of the best years and best eiiorts of my life were devoted to a struggle against chattel s'aveiy, a sttug gle none tlie loss earnest or arduous because respect for const itu!ioi;al obligations con st mint d r.i-i to act, for the most part, on the deiVn.sive, iu'.rcsisU.iico t the diifu.'-ion, rather than in direct elforts for the extinc tion of human bondage. Throughout most of those years my vision was unehcered, anil my exertions were rarely animated by even so much as a hope that 1 should live tost e my country peopled by freemen alone. The affirmation by your Convention of the ( i cinnati platform is a nvt conclusive proof that, not merely is slavery abolished, bt.t That its spirit is extinct: that, tlesnite the protest of a respectable but isolated few, there remain. among us no party ?.i;d no formidable interest which rig rets the ovoi throw or desires tlie re-establishment of .human bondage. Whether hi letter in spirit, I am thereby justiiitd in my hope and trust that the lirst century of American Independence v." ill not close before the grand elemental truths, on which its right fulness was based by Jeiferson and the Continental Congress of 1 7515, w ill no longer be regarded as glittering generalities, but w ill have Ik come the universally accepted and honored foundations of our political fit brie. 1 den: am I the prompt ::ppli(.r:o:i of th ..e principles to our existing coudit ion. Having done what I could for the complete emancipation of the blacks, I now insist on the foil enfranchisement of all my white countrymen. Let none say that the ban has ju.-t been removed from all but a few hundred elderly gentlemen, to whom eligi bility to office can be of little consequence. My view contemplates not the hundreds piu.-Ci ibed, but the millions w ho are denied the right to be ruled and represented by men of their unfettered choice. Proserit tion would be absurd, if these did not w ish to elect the very men whom they are for bidden to choose. I have a profound regaid for the people of that New England wherein I was boru, and in whose common schools I was taught. I rank no other peo ple above them in intelligence', capacity tu moral worth, but while they elo many things well, and some admirably, there is one thing which I am sure they cannot wisely or safely do, and that is the select ing for States remote from ami unlike their own of the persons by whom those States shall W represented in Congress. If they would elo this to good purjiose, then repub lican constitutions aie unfit, ami aristocracy the only true political system. Yet what have we recently witnessed? Z. B. Vance, the unquestioned choice of a large majority of the present Legislature of North Caro lina, a majority backed by a majority of the people who voted at its election, refused the seat in the Federal Senate to which he was fairly chosen, and the Legislature thus constrained to choose another in his stead, or leave the State unrepresented for years. The votes of New England have thus ele prived North Carolina of the Senator of her choice, and compelled her to send an other in his stead; another who, in our Lite contest, was, like Vance, a rebel, ami a lighting reln-l, but who had not served in Congress before the war, as Vance had, though tlie latter remained faithful to the Union until after tbe close of his term. I protest against the. disfranchisement of a State pre&umptively, or a number of States, on grounds so narrow and technical as this. The fact that the Same Senate which re fused Vance his seat, proceeded to remove his disabilities after . that se-at had been tilled by another, only selves to place in a fctronger light the indignity to Neuth Car olina, ami the arbitrary and cajricious tyranny which dictated it. I think you, gentlemen, that my. name is to bo conspic uously associated with yours, in a deter mined eii'ort to render amnesty complete and uniersal, in spirit as well as in letter. Even tlefeat in such a cause would leiive no sting, w hile triumph woul I rank with those victories which no blood .reddens, and w hich evoke no tears but those of gratitude and joy. Gentlemen, your platform, which is aNo mine, assures me' that Democracy is not henceforth to stand for one thing and Republicanism for another; but that those icrms are to mean in joiiiics as iney always liavti meant in the dictionary, substan tially one and the same thing, namely, equal rights, regardless ot creeel, clime or color. 1 hail this as a genuine new depar ture from outstanding fends and meaning less contentions in the direction of progress and" reform. Whether I shall be founel worthy to bear the standard of the great Liberal movement which the American people liave inaugurated, is to be doter uiiued, not by words, but by deeds. With me if I steadily advance, -'and over ine if 1 falter, its grand' .Ujny Will move on to achieve tor our country her glorious, lene licent destiny. I remain, gentlemen, yours, ; lIollAe li GltEELOi V. To the Hon. J. R. Ditolittle, Chairman of the Convention, Messrs. F. W. Sykes, J. C. MacCabe, and others of the Com mittee. ...

From New York World of Saturday. On yesterday afternoon the writer called upon Senator Allen G. Thurma:t, of Ohio, who is at present sojourning in this city, for the purj.MJse of obtaining his views on the political situation. The distinguished Democrat was found at the St. Nicholas Hotel, and kindly consented to give a few moments of his time to answering perti nent questions. First, as to what lie thought of the political situation, the Sen ator said: I "My letter of the 12th, written from j Washington to a friend in Cleveland, Ohio, contains my views, and it is hardly ncces- sary for me to repeat them since your readers are already familiar with them, I The World having published tlie letter in : its issue of the 18th. However, I may ' venture to state that, as shown I v the Ictier. I was in favor of straight nomina- tious by the Baltimore Convention, be- j lieving that Democrats could be elected. I An overwhelming majority of the Con- ; vention favored a different policy ai.el : nominated Messrs. Greeley and Brown. ! the Liberal Republican candidates. Of j course I readily acquiesce in the decision. The question is no longer who shall be ; nominated by the Democracy, and whether f that or this Democrat merits the support ! of his party, but w hether General Grant, j the Radical nominee, or Mr. Greeley, the i ; nominee of both the Liberal Republicans J and the Democracy, shall be supjiortetl.

Will any Democrats vote for Gen- ' eral Giant.' j ; Senator T. Not one; that is not one : who run consistently antl projcrly claim j to be a Democrat. Republican pajH-rs' have named a few Democrats as support- ; : crs of General Giant; but some of these : : men I consider no longer Democrats, antl , others I think misrepresented by the papers in question. It is remarkable that not a ' single Democratic journal displays the least inclination to support General Grant, while hundreds of Republican journals go in heartily for Mr. Greeley. This I rske as ! one of many existing good signs of the ! hitter's election next November. R. Then, Senator, you think Mr. Gree- ; ley will be elected? j I Senator T. Most ar-f.urcdly I do. I ! , think Greeley and Brown will have 2'o ! . electoral votes at least much more than sufficient to elect them. My State. Ohio. ' 1 is a doubt fid one, with the chances on our side, 1 iiriuly believe. But let the State ' go ass-he may, Greeley will neverilu le.-.s be ' elected. I give him tiU'J electoral vetcs i without Ohio. i R. What of the straight-out Democratic I movement or lnlt? . Senator T. Why," it will not amount to anything. A few gentlemen good Dem ! ocrats, no doubt met iti Baltimore antl ; called a straight-out Democratic Convcii i tion to meet in Louisville on September o, but the? Democratic masses have every j where disapproved of the call, so that I i very much question whether the Coiiven I tion will ever be held. If held it will be a i small, unimiortant alfair, nit likely to exert any influence of consequence upon the ac i tion of the Democracy. Tlie wave in favor ' of Greeley is too large and strong to be in ' any way affect etl by a Convention of the ; kind. 1 repeat it, sir, the w hole movement ; will in t amount to anything, anil is not worth ! talking about. ! With this the interview terminated, Sen ! a tor Thurman immediately afterwards leav ing the hotel with a party of friends on a pre-arranged visit up town. Qi'kkr Freak of a Farmer. The Bucks County (I'enn.) InUUirucer says: "On a certain fa nn in Pine Run Valley, about three miles west of Doylestown, is a remarkable collection of hay-stacks. The owner appears to have stacked his hay for fifteen or twenty years p;u;t., -without con suming much of it, and the result is that there are now from forty to fifty largo stacks of hay on the premises. There is a group in almost every field, and the build ings are almost surrounded by them. Some of the stacks are so olel and lot ten that they have fallen apart ami show a great gap in the middle, exposing the interior to the weather. These stacks probably contain, or did once, an average of eight tons each. Tills would make an aggregate of 400 tons, which at present city prices would not be far from f2,tHH). As many of them are quite old, the hay cannot now be of first quality. Tlie object of this remarkable accumulation of hay we elo not know, and tiio owner is said to be quite averse to selling any of it, ami declined to supply some to the neiglibors who ran short last spring. If it were now put in ihe market i it would bring enough money to put the f farm in prime order ar.d erect a first rate 1 set of buddings." ! j RottJU (,' ClGAIt MASrFACTCKF.KS. j Congress has passed a Tariff and Tax Law, j which, ametng other unjust provisions, ! requires retail dealers in leaf tobacco to J pay an annual license fee of five hundred j dollars, and to pay to the government one- half the amount of their sales over one j thousand dollars per year. It prevents any person trom selling and, of cour.se, from i uuying, leaf tobacco in quantities less than .i iHjvsneat; cie it lime. .I V mail XV in t an. not ailbid to buy a In gshead of leaf tobacco at a time, will be thereby excluded from the cigar manufacturing business.
