Tho editor of llio Golden Aqe an
oritc'inul Grant man without guilo thus
address iiimttulf to his old pttrty
fVientls : '-Somu say suppose, the Lib
oral movement fails, stipposo the Cin
cinnati nominees are defeated, what
will come, of all thisimmonso effort,
this popular uprising of the country,
this vast wavo of enthusiasm now
sweeping across mo luna r aneso
questions are onouiy amcca oy com
and sluggish minds in both of the old
parties. They deserve notice and
reply. Certainly pooplo do not care
to break up old lies, and enter into
new relations), and encounter new aaa
unknown difficulties, and invito in
calculable rinks without tho aHsurunce
that their lubors and sucrificos will
not be lout. I'eople do not like to
work for nothing. That is poor iron-
cralnhip which rushes rccklesHly into
danger without the certainty ol a safe
retreat, if not the woll founded hope
of victory. A great political cam
paign like the prcsont is environod
with uncertainly and encumbered
with risks. The conservative instinct
which leads men to hold on tu what
they have until sure of somolhing
better is a healthy and notlo ono, and
deserves to be trcstod with tho ut
most respect. And did wo not believe
that tho Liberal movement would pay
for itsolf ten limes over even were
tho election to go against its candi
dates for the highest otlloes, we should
hesitate lo ui'go it upon public niton
lion, if indeed our personul interest in
it did not uttorly cvaporuto.
It is becauso the Liberal movemont
has already echieved so much good
and will certainly effect so much more
for tho public safety and welfare, even
though it ehull bo defcuted at the polls
in November, that we give it such
cnlhusiaslio advocacy. Think, in the
first pluco, what it has alrcndy dono.
It hits ciren this nation a platform of
political principles which is iUelf a
victory. No such honest und slutcs
maitlike stutomettt of principles was
over befurn cnunciuted by a national
convention as that unanimously pro
claimed at Cincinnati and eiilliusius
lifRlly adopted at Baltimore That
nlatform sweeps away aii the old
issues, and buries all the dead quarrels
of a century beyond resurrection in a
common grave. It asserts the liberty
and equal rights of ajl mop and prom
ises protection lo an anno; ii pro
claims universal amncsiy lor an po
litical offenses ; it welcomes the south
ern pcoplo nnd Slales to a now purli
cipution in tio privileges nnd respon-'
siDilitic" ol American ciii.eiisnii, nnu
reels them with the open hand ol
alernal good will ; it throws now
mctions und supports o round the
Weukoned walls of local interests and
State governments : it assures the
nation that the government shall be
honestly and economically administer
cd, and thul the President shall not
usurp tho functions of Congress and
the Judicature ; it remands iho ques
tions of revenue to the people and
their chosen representatives, and il
strikes a lutiil blow at tlie root ot
official corruption by milking tho re
election of a President .impossible.
Thul platform is a triumph; nnd if
the Liberal movement hud dono noth
ing but fi'umo that instrument, and
get it enthusiastically adopted by half
tho citizens ot tlie country, 11 would
have marked un era in our political'
hii-lory.
The liibtfttl movement lias alreaily
justified itself by its iutluenco on tho
Administration. r,vcry important
measuro of the last session of Con-
gross was directly influenced by this
popular uprising. Tho Amnesty bill,
inadequate us it is and open to objec
tion in every respect, wottiu nover
have bcon pushed but for the Cincin
nati Convention. Tho bill to repeal
tho habeas corpus and put tho whole
South into Gen. Grant's hands, mule
ing him a more irresponsible dictator
Unit) Lotus XMipoloon ever was, owes
ils defeat solely to tho Liberal demon
stration. Tho transient spasm of
reform, which sunt a few nervous
twitches through tho ollii.ial limits of
tho Administration, was excited by
fear of what Iho rising opposition
miirht do. And all tlie line proles-
sions and promises of the Philadelphia
platform ovory ono of which convicts
tho Administration ot unliiillilulucss
to its trusts or un incapacity which is
a crimo is an echo of what the Lib
crnl lenders proclaimed at Cincinnati.
Tho Liberal movoment hits justified
ilself by rallying tho pcoiilo of the

ideas. It is such a resurrection, such
a revolution, such a reconstruction as
tho world has never buforo witnossed
this new rally of a people upon the
Liberal nlatform to meet the issues of
to day in the light of to day, and in
tho spirit of the highest patriotism,
philanthropy, nnd statesmanship. And
thcro cun. bo no retreat from this ad
vanced and commanding position.
We have witnessed a new formation
in American politics. Tho Liberal
movemont has inaugurated an era of
reconciliation, reform, peace, und good
will.
So much has bcon dono. There nro
Republicans who di-parugo tho action
of the Baltimore Convention, and ure
suspicious ol Democratic leaders. They
do not know tho men who marshalled
the Demoeratio masses and lod tUsm
up lo this act of unprecedented mag
nanimity. They ore men of whom
any party might well be proud. They
are mon who honor the nution by be
longing to It. The action at Baltimore
meroly registered the wishes of thirty
seven State Conventions, which ar
ticulated the will and wish of a thor
oughly aroused people The truth is,
tho poople of this country have been
in the greatest high school the world
has known for tho last twenty years.
They have been educated by great
and exciting events. They havo been
trained up to a higher standard of
thought and sentiment by the stirring
incidents of our recent history. To
bridiro tho bloody chasm which thirty
years of agitation and four years of

We are looking at this thing in the

GREELEY MAKES A SPEECH.
Eitonsive Bank Robbery.
Tho bankers and bank odlecrs in
Baltimore on Monday last were much
oxcitod, each asking tho other what
they should do to savo their deposits.
Nor wero they needlessly alarmed or
their fears excited without cause.
Tho successful entrttneo of burglars
into tho vaults of the Third National
Bank, a bank ns well guarded as their
own, between Saturdity evoning and
Monday morning was sufllciont to put
them on iho inquiry. This rohbory is
said to bo ono of tho most bold, during
and successful ever perpetrated in tho
United btntes.
Il appears that about tho middlo of
Juno two youug men rented fur threo
months tho tirnl story ol Iho uuililing
adjoining tho bunk and, under the
nunio of Stubler & Co., professod to bo
conducting a thriving gruin and com

tho teller of tho bank upon opening

There seemed to bo nothing before tho
country but a continuance of purty
jealousy nnd ulicnulion growing out
of old issues and seutional oppression
and hatred. Tho Liberal movement
changed tho cntiro situation in ton
weeks. It inspired tho whole South
with u new sense ot loyalty nnd pa
triotism, a new hopo of pcauo and
prosperous days, and nn irrepressible
desire for union, fraternity, nnd good

Mr. Greeley has been spending a

Everywhere he has been received by
urge delegations oi the pooplo. His
traveli have boon a oonlinueu ovation.
At Portland, Maine, last week, ho
made a speech which will ring from
one end of tho Union to tho other
It is hit first political spooch of the
campaign, nnd is full of sound sense:
MR. onr.KI.lY's BPKECU.
t
Ladies and Gentlemen: It Is cer
tainly true that throughout tho course
of niy lite, as fur as I have been con
nected with publio atfuirs, 1 have
struggled with such capacity as God
has given mo lor, nrst, impartial anu
univqrs.il liberty; second, for the
un'T' jVtd Kfoutness of our common
country Ihird, and by no means loast,
when tho tormer end was attained, lor
early and hearty reconciliation and
poace among our countrymen. J' or
those great ends I have struggled, and
1 hopo Iho issue of iho third is not
doubtful. 1 thoroughly comprehend
that no personal consideration has
drawn together this vast assembly.
Oilier, higher, and grundor considera
tions have collected you around mo
to day. Cheers.
Mr. Chairman, it is a part of tho
unwritten law of our country that a
csndidalo for President may not make
speeches in vindication and commen
dation of the principles whereupon ho
is supported, nor the measures which
his election is intended to promote,
though a candiduto for vice president
is under no such inhibition. I not
merely acqtticsco in the restriction, 1
recognise and uflirm ils propriety.
Tho temptation to misreport and mis
represent a c.mdidalo for tho higher
post is so great, the moans oi circuiu
tine such perversions among people
who will never see a word of their
refutation are so vast, thut a enndi
date has no moral right to subject his
friends to tho perils hu must bravo, if
not invite, by Inking a purl in the
canvass. fOhecrs.1 Vet there is a
truth to be uttered in behalf of those
who have placed mo before the Amcr
icon people in my present attitude,
which does them such honor that I
claim the privilege of staling it here
and now.
This is that tru'.h : No porson has
over yet made tlie fact that ho pur
posed to support, or actually did sup
port my nomination, whether at Cin
cinnati, at Baltimore, or in tho action
which resulted in sending delegates lo
other conventions, the onstsof a cltim
to cilice at my bunds. 2o one who
favored my nomination before either
convention, or al cither convention,
has sought office at my bonds, either
for himself or any one else; nor has
any one) suggested to me that I might
strengthen myself us a candidate by
promising to appoint any one to any
important oflico whatever. Loud
cheers In a very few instances
less than a dozen, 1 am sure certain
of the smaller fry of politicians have,
rince my douhlo nomination, hinted to
mo by letter Hint I might increase my
chance of election by promising a post
olllce or some other pluco to my vol
unteer correspondents respectively.
I have not usually responded to these
overtures, but 1 now give a general
notico that, should I be elected, I will
consider the claims of Lhcse untimely
aspirants irl'tor thoso of the moro mod
eel and reticent ahull havo been fully
sutiafied- Loud cheers
In two or threo instances I havo
bcon asked lo s iy whothcr 1 would or
would not, if elected, confino my ap
pointments (o republicans. I answer
these by pointing to that plank of Iho
Cincinnati plutlurm wherein all w ho
concur in tho principles therein set
forth are cordially invited to partici
pate in their establishment and vindi
cation. 1 nover ycl hoard of a mnn
who ipvilod his neighbors to help him
raise A house and proceeded lo kick
them out of it as soon as tho roof was

parti recognise every honost man
who approves nnd adheres to tho Cin
cinnati platform as my political broth
er, aid us such fully entil'.cd lo my
connicnco uuu irieuuiy rcgaru.

Robert L. Johnson, Esq., of Cambria
county, Pennsylvania, who is one of
the ablest and most respected leaders
of tho western democracy, thus replies
lo an invitution to promote a meeting
of "bolters ' at Louisville :
Ebknsiiuro, August 20. Gentlemen :
I am in receipt of your letter duted
"Philadelphia, August IK, mi'," org
ing that 1 "will, on consultation with
other truo democrats in your (my)
congressional district, select two, three
or more good men to go as delegates
to Louisville.
Though five names aro signed lo
your letter, my intimacy with tho
leading democrats of your city extends
to no ono but your chairman, illiam
B. Sines. Iliin I knew as a sort of
attache to the consul to Belfast, under
President Plerco, but who fell Irom
graco as soon as the democruts wero
in a minority, nnd joined tho more
powerful enemy.
xou inlorm mo mat you ncic ' ap
pointed by a meeting of democruts
opposed to Iho salo of the party to
Ureely and Brown, held at the Girard
house in this city, on the l.ilh tnst.
Until the receipt of your letter I was
not aware that any such sale had been
held ntthoGirurd houso, or elsewhere.
As I do not know any ol you us
democrats, I should like much to
know whut meeting, held ut tho
Girard houso on Iho 12lh instant, or
ut any other place or time, constituted
you a "Commit toe of Correspondence."
Y hat democratic statesman presided
over tho deliberations f How was il
organised f What resolutions did
it pass f
lou do not propose lo put tho pres
ent corrupt and corrupting adminis
tration out ot power by your Louis
ville convention. You do not proposo
lo elect a democrat. Oh, no ! but you
proposo lo hold a convention, and to
lurnisb mo with transportation to and
from tho convention.
Thut word "transportation" don't
look to me very democratic. I huve
attended many democrntio conven
tions, but never had my transporta
tion provided by a "Committee of
Correspondence. I cannot know
whether you gonllomcn aro abler lo
nuv my faro there than I would bo my-
elf, and 1 would thus not wrong you.
But if, as 1 havo no doubt is tho
case, you ore the corrupt cruuturcsof
a corrupt party, and this is part ol
their corruption fund, then I would
as soon borrow ono ot Judus Iscariol's
thirty piccos as touch it. And if any
additional proof wus wanted of the
propriety ol tlie one term principle
the present humiliating atliludo of
the administration in securing the
services of such mon us address me
would furnish it.
Your obedient servant,

saying, "Bring me that horse." The
two men mounted and rushed with all

The captured man proved to be Mr. ,
