pushing the Evans fi-aud.
Tue North Carolina Elkction. Tlie
election in this State on last Thursday l e
ilted in the triumpli of Mehkiman, the
Demtcratic and Liberal Republican candi
date for Governor, by a majority ranging
from six to eight thousand. We have noth
ing definite at this early hour as to the vote
lor Congress, but all the indications are
that the Democrats have carried nix out of
the eight members of Congress. It is a sure
victory for Greeley and Brown and a
.glorious triumph for the right. Hip! hip!
hurrah !
Misfortunes are 6aid "never to come
s-ingly, but in battalions." This is pecu
liarly the case just now with the ltadical
party, inasmuch an the desertions of original
Republicans from Grant to Greeley are aj
suming the most fearful proportions. Al
exander C. Mullin, Esq., now of Ash
land, in Schuylkill county, was for many
years a citizen of this place, where he is
held in honored remembrance as a gentle
man of high integrity and unsullied repu
tation, lie was an old line "Whig, and as
such was elected from this county to the
Assembly in 18C0. It will be seen from
the following, which we take from last
week's number of the Pottsville Standard,
that Mr. Mullin is now the President of a
Greeley and Brown Club in the borough
where he resides. "We commend his wise
and patriotic examine to his old jKjlitical
friends and associates in Ebcnsburg:
ASHLAND LIBERAL CLUB.
Notwithstanding the assertion of a certain
Grant-and-plunder organ, that there were
no Greeley Republicans in the Borough of
Ashland, a large and enthusiastic gathering
of Liberal Republicans convened on Wednes
day evening, and organized a Greeley and
Brown Club. To tlie dismay of tlie Grant
ites, they discovered that between thirty and
forty prominent and influential members,
heretofore of the ltadical party, whose polit
ical orthodoxy was deemed above suspicion,
were on hand and ready in a public manner
to proclaim their intention to march here
after under the banner of Liberalism and
Reform.
The meeting was organized by the elec
tion of A. C. Mullin, Esq., as President,
and F. Herwig, Esq., as Secretary. Short.
and spirited addresses were made, and the
meeting adjourned amid great enthusiasm.
A great many newspaper peculations,
idle perhaps have been indulged in since
the nomination of Horace Greeley at
Cincinnati, as to what would be the politi
cal action of ex-Governor Andrew G. Cur
ti in the impending Presidential campaign
when he returns from Russia. It is un
necessary for us to Kaythatthcro is no man
in Pennsylvania who possesses more of the
confidence of the people of the State, and
especially of the soldiers of the State, than
Governor Curtin. Ho Was the originator
and tho father of the Pennsylvania Reserve
Corps. Ho was known as the "War Gov
ernor' of Pennsylvania, and enjoys a high
and well earned reputation. We know not
what his political proclivities or sympathies
may be in the approaching political cam
paign, but we may bo permitted to guess
that he, like hosts of other leading Re
publicans from one end of the country to
the other, will be found floating with and
yielding to the irresistible current of popu
lar opinion in favor of Greeley, reform and
honest government. Whatever may bet ho
vote at the ballot-box, and we are confident
of the result, we lay before our readers the
following article from the Washington (D.
Cr) Patriot. It seems to speak "by author
ity." Our readers will form their own con
clusions :
"There is no longer any doubt in regard
to the course which ex-Govemor Curtin
intends to pursue in the Presidential cam
paign. Letters have been recently received
from him in which he announce his pur
pose to support Mr. Greeley and to canvass
the State of Pennsylvania for him as soon
as he returns home next month. Ho also

1 Qnestfrn of Veracity.
In Lis :;reat peeeh in St. Louis, on lasH;
Monday week, Senator Sciiuit-fc tstd tlie
folh.whig trout; :intl emphatic language in
ref-.'t i:i.e to Lis opposition to the corrupt
Pt bciiie of Central (Jiuxt for the annexa
tion of San Domingo:
"When the San Domingo sclicme was
landing two gentlemen in intimate rela
tions with the Vhitc House came to nro,
each one sejiarately, soliciting my supirt
of the project. They assured me that if I
would 'give that support or abstain from
opjiosit'oii, all tlie patronage I desired would
lie -uttny disjiosal, -making me in that re
siicct one f the most influential men in the
land. One of these gentlemen subsequent
ly admitted to me in writing that the offer
was made to me witli the consent of the
President himself. If the facts should lie
questioned by authority, the proof will be
forthcoming."
On the f.Jlowhtg Aay, Geiteral Grant,
nt a Cabinet meeting, authorized a denial
of the truth of the foregoing stabtnent ami
called on Mr. Sciit HZ for the proof of the
truth of his -declaration. Tlie Missouri
Senator knew what he was saying aiidVas
fully prepared to Mihtaiu tlie truth of tlie
charge he had made.
No man of intelligence can forget the
disgraceful history of this whole San Do
mingo business, nor can airy man fail to jx
memlier that Grant himself undertook by
his owniersualetforts to lobby the scheme
through tlie Senate, AVhen this annexa
tion project was before that body, General
Alfkkd Plkasanton w;is C'onwnixsioiHT
of Internal Revenue and w-as a wana su
jirter -and friend of Gvneral Grant. It
seems that -e w&s the gentleman sent by
Grant to make the coirupt bargain with
Sc'Hi'itz, in order to procure his support of
the treaty and its cwniirniatiou by the Sen
ate, Mr. Schcrz has now made good his
charge in his speech at St. Louis, and the
question is narrowed down to oJie of verac
ity between General Plkasanton and U.
S. Gilixt. Carl Sciiurz has washed his
bands of tine whole business, as will be
n fum the following letter addressed to
him by Gen. Plesanton:
New York, July 25-, 1872.
Dear General: Of course I have no
objection to your giving my name to the
public in examination of tlx; facts. I would
say that, being a friend of the President,
as well as of yourself, I desired that you
should be on good tcrnus, and you should
understand that th;re was no personal
feeling in the way of relations mutually
satisfactory. Yovir statement is correct
that the President wanted your support for
his Santo Domingo scheme, and that you
could have had the patronage of the gov
ernment for giving it. That was the dis
tinct impression the President's conversa
tion made ujxjii my mind, and I communi-
icated it to you at tlie time.
If tlie President positively denies having
had any such conversation, I regret it. I
may console myself with the reiiect ion that
this is the first time that any statement of
mine has been questioned, while the Presi
dent has had occasion be fore this to distrust
the accuracy of liis recollections.
Truly yours, A. Pleasonton.
Wo leave this controversy as it stands, to
be settled lietwoen Gen. Pleasonton and
his friend Ulysses S. Grant.

The Huntingdon Globe has been edited
as an old lino Whig and Republican pajier
by William Lewis, Esq., since 1846.
Just now, however, Mr. Lewis has been
carrk-d away by the overwhelming tide tf
jtopular sentiment throughout the country,
and this week aiuiounees himself as a
supiorter of Horace Greeley. Mr. Lewis
is a veteran editor, and fully understands
the political situation, lie explains the
reasons for his political change in the fol
lowing language, which is alout as fair a
commentary on G rant's administration, its
sins and iniquities, as could well be written
by a disgusted Republican:
"We have departed not from the true
faith but from Untntittn to the support of
honesty, statesmanship, and one of the
ablest, most honest and wisest Republicans
living HORACE GREELEY. In the de
parture and choice we have made, our
conscience tells us we are ritht, and where
our conscience directs we will le, regardless
of consequences. In taking the stand we
have independent Republican we have
separated jiolitically from many warm
friends who cannot now see the situation as
we see it, but who, we honestly lelicve,
will follow us in good time, to help the
honest eople throw off the yoke of political
misrule and tyranny that now disgraces the
Republican party and our country.
'V"c Were of tlie lirst, more than four
years ago, to advocate the nomination of
Gen. Grant as a candidate for the Presi
dency, lielicving then that if elected, he
would call around him as advisers able
statesmen and honest men, and be a Presi
dent of the people. But he has proved
himself to be a failure as a President.
Instead of selecting the best men to advise
him, he has surrounded himself with the
most corrupt iolitiealsjeculators, and given
out the running of his administration by
contract to the most venal of mankind, in
every State of the LTnion. We cannot sup
port such an administration any longer,
much less ask the honest voters of the
country to continue it for four years
more from the 4th of March next. If the
people would le happy and prosperous
they must have for their President an
honest ami able representative, surrounded
by able, honest men, instead of by mere
political gamblers: Horace Greeley is
an honest man, is a true Republican can
discharge the duties of President without
tlie advice of friends and wilk be elected
by the people in November next. With
Greeley and Brown as our leading can
didates, we go into the campaign with an
honest purjHse, and all other candidates
we may support must be of the ranw class
of men, or as near as it may be possible to
find them as candidates."

A CARD FltO-M C W. ELLIS.
To the Republican of Warren County;
Gentlemen. As it has been claimed
that some jersons did not fully understand
the statement I nnkle at Warren on Friday
last in relation to money having Wen v:sed
at Harrisburg for tlie purpose of defeating
scane t-i-ccial legislation, 1 make tlie follow
ing statement in writing, tlrat ine maybe
mistaken as to the fact of the natter:
Two years ago last winter 1 was interest
ed with Messrs. Henry Fhslier, Adnah Ney
hart, Joshua Pierce, M. G. Lushing, Js.
Porsliall, aixl J. L. Grandiu, all of Tidioute,
Pa., in a pipe for running oil from the wells
on iVmiis Run to the river and railroad.
The developments were at that time fast
extending westwardly, with very favorablo
indications, and several jiarties were mak
ing efforts to secure charters to enable them
tolay pipes, to compete with us.
Having exciidcd about twenty thousand
dollars (f2l,lKH)j on our pipe, we thought
it advisable to .secure a charter to protect
us.
As I was a personal friend of our Repre
sentative, Col. Harrison Allen, it was sug
gested at a meeting of tlie company that I
proceed to Harrisburg to see what could be
done. Ljmmi getting there I saw Mr. Allen,
and told him to use his influence in our
favor. He said that there were already
several 'applications for pipe charters in
Warren and Venango counties, and on
Account of the competition it would le
impossible for us to obtain an exclusive
charter, but that bethought the betterway
for a protection would be to kill all pipe
charters which other parties might seek to
obtain, and that this would be accomplished
in committee, but to do so it would require
hoiw inoney 1 asked him how much. He
replied that it could lie done for two thous
and dollars ($2,G0). I told him that hav
ing no authority to make such an arrange
ment 1 would have to return and consult
with the Comiun.yi He said that so far as
lie was concerned he did not want a dollar,
neither would he receive it, but for his ser
vices in tlie matter and the right to lay our
pipe across his land, which at the time was
producing oiL he wanted iiiitoagree to give
him a drawlwck of iive cents pur barrel for
his jdiare of tlie oil run by us. I returned
home and laid tlie facts before tlie Compa
ny. After talking the matter over they
decided that rather than endanger their in
terests it would be well to pay the two
thousand dollars, and also give Mr. Allen
the drawback referred to above.
I returned to Harrisburg again, called
on Mr. Allen and told him that tlie Compa
ny had concluded to pay the money. He
then said that he would not accept any of
the two thousand dollars but would tell me
where to leave it.
I then put the two tliousand dollars, in
currency, in an envelope, which I sealed
and he directed me to hand it to Mr. Chase,
a young man from Warren county, to whom
he introduced me, and instructed me to say
to Mr. Chase to keep it until called for, all
of which I did. 1 had no conversation
with Mr. Chase, nor any one else but Mr.
Allen in relation to to the money, nor did
I mention to any one except Mr. Allen
the nature of my business at Harrisburg.
A few days after my return we heard
that a Pipe Charter which previously cov
ered Venango and Crawford counties, had
been extended to Warren county. Tlie
company instinct ed me to return to Harris
burg and see if tlie rciort was 'correct, and
if so to withdraw our money if it could be
doue. I called mi Mr. Allen and hud him
go with me to the records and found that
such a charter had been granted.
I said to Mr. Allen, this being the case I
wished to withdraw our money, as its use
then could do us no good. He-replied that
it was too late, that the money had been
applied to tho use designed, but that ho
would guarantee that the charter shwuld
not 'interfere with us whatever, and that
he woidd protect our interests. All of which
I reported to the company as stated.

Facts for Raujcai-s to Rkmkmhkh.
In order that the disappointment may not
lie too great, our Radical brethren should
bear in mind that, no matter what Demo
crats may think of the action of the Balti
more Convention, there is not one, no mat
ter how bitter he may feel towards Greeley,
or how much he was opposed to his nomi
nation, w ho will vote for Grant.
They should liear in mind that the
nomination of Greeley by a Democratic
convention has in no wise made Grant any
the less objectionable it has made bun no
better it has covered up none of hi frauds
and imperfections it lias given back nouo
of the money he and his military rings have
taken from the tax-payers it has given
back nono of tho rights he has robbed from
the States of the South, it has in no wise
made him more honest, decent, solier,
patriotic, faithful or competent it has not
elevated or purified him, nor has it made
him a particle more fit for the position than
he was liefore. He is the same greed-,
Godless, narrow-minded, incompetent offi
cial, who has disgraced hi.s country, his
people, his friends and himself by his
nepotism, his worthlessness, incompetency
and rascality.
Let them remember this. Rdiefon-ta
Watchman.
Greeley as an 'AnoLif ionist. ,:Grec
ley is the most radical abolitionist in the
whole country." So wr Radical brethren
continually tell us, and yet we can vote for
him. We want an abolitionist just now
one who will abolish Grant and his cousins,
aud his wife's cousins, and their cousins
and all the vast swarm of relatives w ho arc
fattening and growing rich upon the mis
eries of the country; abolish, the serfdom
which now exists in the South, of w hich
white men are the victims; abolish bayonet
laws and federal interferences in elections
in the States; abolish the disfranchisement
of the men of brains and ability in the
Southern StaU; abolish a horde of tax
gatherers and an amiy of office-holders who
are eating our substance - and enrichin"
themselves at our expense. We want an
abolitionist now to do these things, and
Greeley trill do it.

1 ie End of the rrc.
From Saturday's Xc York Tribune. .
There's no end to the liclmess of this
campaign. That the Binghampton mon
keys "thould raise a bray loud enough to
make every Grant editor in the United
States prick up his ears was droll enough.
But they had one plump, comfortable sen
sation, that was really worth while. A
youthful editor, S. C. Carpenter, to wit,
burning with the wildest ambition to be
known, had sworn that he had seen Ho
race Greeley's declaration, in Horace Gree
ley's handwriting, in favor of paying pen
sions to rvljel soldiers. See again how -certain
this interesting youth was about it:
"Oneonta, Jwly.--C. S. Carpenter, Te
ing sworn, demises ivd says, that
one of Greeley's letters, which deponent
recognized by what he knovs of Greeley's
handwriting, and by The Tribune Wa'dfag
(this letter being an answer to a letter of
CanniehaeL asking his views on the Don
federate pension question), expressed the
views of Mr. Greeley as favorable to the
passage of a law providing that the General
Government pay pensions to Southern dis
abled sokliers, although be (Greeley) doubt
ed whether Congress would jiass such a
bill; that deponent read the letter care
fully, ami this was its true expression and
meaning ; and it was freely discussed
between Carmichael and deponent. That
this letter was, according to deponent's
lcst recollection, dated in August or early
in Septemler, 1871. Deinuient saw a
letter from Horatio Seymour on the same
subject at about the same time. Mr.
Seymour expressed himself in oppositional
making the pensuaiq-ucstion an issue then."
And now comes the richness:
Mr. P. B. Rogers Dear Sir: There
appeared in the Biuglwrnipton Daily JU--publiean
of July ID an affidavit made by
C. S. Carpenter, stating, among other
things, that I had seen a letter written by
Horace Greeley of New-York to Ixwis
Carmichael of Unadilla, in which letter
Mr. Greeley said he favored tlie jiensioiiing
of southern disabled soldiers, S:c. Tho
last time I talked w ith Carmichael in re
lation to Greeley -ami political matters was
no later than Nov. 15, lt71. Several
gentlemen residing in Unadilla, of un
questioned integrity, w ho have seen all of
Carmichael's letters from Greeley, inform
me that no such letter was written by Mr.
Greeley; tlicreforc I concluded 1 may be
mistaken, and that my impression of the
puriHirt of the letters was obtained from
Carmichael jiersonally, in stating what lie
had written to Mr. Greeley, fir intended to
write. At tlie time of Carmichael's visit
to tlie lit tyild otlicc-, I did not regard the
matter he was working up as possible, and
gave him but little attention. 1 rimhe lhix
statement thinking I may be mistaken, and
hope for a publie production of the ichole
correspondence betireen Carmichael and
UreeU-y? until which time i retract
the statement made in my affidavit! !

What remains? Where now be your
terrible disclosures, your impregnable evi
dence, your fearful dangers attending the
election of Mr. Greeley? For this rebel
Iension stufF was absolutely the only point
worth notice with its disappearance the
bottom is out. But deal tenderly with this
youth of Oneonta! His memory is bad,
but he has capital powers of backing out,

From the Auburn Democrat.
The following letter was written to Geo.
L. Wat kins, Esq., who resides in Scipio.
The writer is no less a personage than ex
Mayor and late Postmaster of the capital
of the United States, Sayles J. Bowen. It
will explain itself well as one of the dis
honest acts of him whom the Republican
Iiarty have elected to the Presidency, and
whom a portion of the same men are try
ing to do again:
Washington, July 18, 1S72.
G. L. Watkins, Esq. My Dear Sir: I
was much pleased to receive from you your
kind and encouraging letter of the 15th
inst. You are right in stating that I know
something of General Grant's business
qualifications as well as his character for
honor, honesty and truth. I had a busi
ness transaction with him in which he
cheated me out of $21,000 with a coolness
and delilieration that would do credit to
any blackleg. In tlie mail that carries this
letter I send a copy of the Transcript, a
paper published in tlus city, containing an
article relating to the transaction alluded
to, every word of which is true, as I stand
ready to prove by Grant's letter and the
original contract in my possession. Indeed,
the Tnmscript has dared the Grant papers
here and elsewhere to deny a single allega
tion in the article, which they have not
had the temerity to do, as everybody in
Washington knows it is true iu every fea
ture. I intend to prosecute Grant before
our Courts, and have made arrangements
to commence suit against him at the next
term, w hen the whole matter will be shown
up to the world in evidence that cannot be
disputed. This affair is only an index to
Grant's private character. He is a miserly,
sordid man, and will resort to anything,
evasion or invasion of law and justice, or
anything else that an honorable person
would despise, to put money in his pocket.
By his speculations iu Seneca stone rins
and other scandalous jobs, through lus
military coterie about the White House,
his presents, and farming out of official po
sitions, he will leave the Presidency on the
4th of March next as rich as a Jew and as
infamous as he who betrayed his Lord and
master for thirty pieces of silver. His
habits are of the worst possible kind, and
his associates of the lowest order. Indeed,
his instincts are low and vulgar, and he is
never so well satisfied as when in company
with horse jockeys, smoking cigars, drink
ing whisky, and "talking horse." Demor
alization and corruption are the "order of
the day in all sections of the country, and
these have their origin in the White House
and at Long Branch. Examples set there
are followod by their parasites until their
influence has ramified every town and coun
try in the nation. Greeley will end this in
a trice. Your friend, &c.

Wonderful Self-Control. A Mate
Conrict Pretends to be Dumb and Does Xot
Fueak for Ttco Years. The Auburn Ad
vertiser of July 20th says : Two years ago
George Scott, one of a gang of despei adot s ,
in New York city, committed a robbery 1
for which he ought to have received ten .
years in prison. When he w as arrested he '
feigned to be deaf and dumb. Upon his .
trial he made much of his infirmity, and
the result was that he succeeded in eseaji- j
ing with a sentence of only two years.; '
Leing transferred from Siug-bing to An-
hum' Prison he still kept up appearances, !
by means of which he escajied from doing
heavy work, but was assigned to duty in '
Shoe-shop No. 1, as waiter, lieing supposcd
to lie lit for no more valuable service. He I
was sharp, ready and intelligent, and gen- !
erally well-behaved, though hot temiered. '
Keeiior Bacon,' umierwhom he was placed, i
had him always under stiiet surveillance,
but never was led tosuspect by anything in
his conduct that he was not deaf and dumb.
Indeed, he says, that he once saw Scott,
who alw'-ays went in the shop by the name j
of "Dummy," so roused up and maddened '
by something that had occurred that he
thougkt Ire would go crazy, yet he gave no
sign that Ire Was otlrerwise, in resjiect to
hearing and sjieaking, than he seemed.
Alxmt two months ago Dummy's time
was up nd he Was discharged-. To give
him a start in life again. Keeper Bacon
hired him to do some gardening. Princi
pal Keeper Gallup did the same. lie i
worked in this Way for twoortlirets wrecks. !
While at his work children would talk to
him and play around him, yet lie was ap ;
parently oblivious of their presence. But ,
Dummy had a ton-me and could Use it.
and his healing was as keen as anybody's.
One day lie fell in with a fellow convict,
who had just been discharged from prison,
and they went off up the street together,
talking glibly. Captain Russell, foreman
in one of the departments of the prison shoe
shop, who was on the street, overheaid
their conversation, ami, ou another occa
sion, it happened that one of the keepers
met Dummy at Louis Schuch's and talked
with him for a long time.
Home and Health. When disease
of any kind invades the family circle it
brings utihappiircss and riain.
in tlie words iiome and health are em-
bodied sentiments of tlie highest conevru
to all wIhi wish the greatest degree of en
joyment which this world atioiK We
have seeiv, many a iale sickly girl fading
away as tlie frost melts liefore tlie kis of
the sunbeam, the pallor indicative of wan
ing health may lie seen spreading its touch
of decay. over her once beaming face, nw
comes the cough, the waiting of the flesh,
tlie tremulous walk, the sunken eye, the
exin'ctoration of blol or matter" which
point out tlutt tlie lungs are failing in their
office. Now is the time t take a rcmedv.
such a one as Dr. Keyser's Li ng Crr.i:.
which will not only improve tlie blood and
add to its plastic iwer, but will aid the
lymphatic and eliminating organs to remove
from the system the lurking poisins wLich
taint and vitiate the blood. It is all right
to wrap up in flannels and to protect The
feet with shoes imjiervious to the wet and
slush of winter, but w hen the cough conies,
the fevered glow of the face, the quickened
movement of the heart, yon may w ell know
that something more is needed to preserve
the animal organism from wreck and ulti
mate min. It i.s useless to cry out when
all the avenues of life have been forced,
and when function has surrendered to the
enemy. Dr. Keyser's Li no Cche is the
remedy that will cure consumption as well
as remove that cachetic state of the svstem
upon which it depends. Send for pamph
let. Sold at $1.50 per bottle, or 4 for $5,(K).

He Saw Him. One would suppose six
years' service in the Senate of the United
States and during the most exciting jieriod
of its history, would oblige a memlier of
that body to make a record of some sort
yet it does appear that Senator Bccka lew
is not now arraigned by the most malig
nant of the Radicals for any vote or expres
sion during his Senatorial career. The
only damaging fact yet brought forward
consists in his having been seen by James
P. Holcombe, during the war, at Niagara
Falls. The following paragraph i.s now
traveling through the columns of the Re
publican journals, as though it contained
something dreadful:
Besides a crowd of less distinguished per
sons, l shw, during tlie course ot tlie sum
mer
ier, in some instances reiH-atedly, Governor
ll'NT, of New York, Messrs. Leic.h, Ricii-

Mr. Van Dyke, of .Pennsylvania, McLean,
of tlie Cincinnati Kiyptirrr, Weller, of
California, Jem; k Bi llitt, of Kentucky
and Colon el Walker, of Indiana. We
received messages from other gentlemen
such a Voorhkks, of Indiana, and Pen
dleton, of Ohio.
We are advised that Mr. Bcckalew was
not at the Falls at any time during the war,
but suppose lie wax and Mr. Holcombe
saw him, what then what came of it--i
Did they take a drink or play a game of
c-ueiiie.- ii a cat may look at a kin"- we
insist Mr. Holcombe or any other 'man
might lM)k at Mr. Bcckalew without beiii
court martialed and shot.
PtKir Bcckalew, he is certain to be de
feated for Governor because Mr. Holcombe
looked at him. Pittsburg Post.
Last year a gentleman calling himself
Rev. Arthur P. Devlin created a big sensa
tion in some parts of the State by his vio
lent and foolish assaults upon the Catholic
clergy and religion. I le attained the honor
of being rotten-egged in several places, and
was unmercifully lampooned by the Harris
burg Patriot and Lancaster Intelligencer.
This individual was in this city last week
under the assumed name of Pat" k Ireland.
He professes to have recanted all of his hos
tility to the Catholics, and says his former
course was due to a quarrel he had with a
priest, which led him to take a solemn oath
to denounce the Catholic religion for tlie
lcriod of one year. His time is up now,
and he is anxious to return to the bosom of
bis mother church, w hich he says he was
never honest in assailing. Ho admits the
justice of the article in the Patriot and In
MUgcncertjmid desired that the editors of
those papers should know his present posi
tion. Mr. Devlin claims to have been a Repub
lican in polities, but is now very warm for
Greeley. He made several speeches here
which were more severe than argument
live. 1 he man was in reduced circum
stances and apparently eager to regain the
good will of his fellow Irishmen by the fer
vency of his present efforts. Erie Observer.
Tlie Indianarpoii News "says: Last

spirit which made war upon a race of men
because they happened to be bom in other
