A glance - at the hittei,utfair, and malig nant sentences in this production,is all hat is n rosary to convince one that, in the present opptisit ion to President 41tiorrz the history of Anusnax Lrs , Cores elperie.nde is only being' re eated. the paper before us, Lm- F,oru is charged :with being a tyran.., and "law defyingPresidentnnworthy any longer to, be confided in, by the Republican party or the country. Ho i 8 charged with having usurped the poWers. belonging to Congress, and of vesting in himself the law making functions - in. addition to ii}ib: dictatorial powers of a Preisident. We find In it even the base charge that he refused to sign a certain ,!measure of Congress in order that "ho might bold the electoral Votes of certain States at the dictation of his inordinate personal ambition!" And in this, wise, prominent Repub-• licanti like Messrs. WADE and DAMS —Dee arlader . in the Senate and the other in the' House of Depresenta tives—inlB64, arraigned the then President, ABRAHAM Li:coo : Lir. ev ery possible way,. regardless alike of truth and patriotism, a daring 'and unscrupulous attempt - was made to break down the prestige, character and influence of LINCOLN, and that too, at a . " time when an additional hundred thousand voluntears were called for to re-inforce.thestruggling armies in the. field. Had he not been a candidate for re-election, the Re publicans Who, led by Messrs. WADE and Davis, then .made such an as -sault upon- him, would • never have dreamed of such a shameful attempt L to undermine him before the people, by charging him with being an usurper and ambitious tyrant. Before the war closed and LiNeoLN was laid in,his grave, Senator 3VADE. confessed, in hame and penitence, that }never had a great and good Juan been wronged as Liseot.x had' been by him; To-day, wo set) a tepttition of such foul political work. The Republican enemies and revilers of., Gcu. GRANT .are neither more respectable nor in fluential than were those of LINCOLN, in 1864.. Nor are they .more unscru pulous. The ,followerz of , Siessrs. IVAnr. and DAVIN, in 1861, , did not hesitate to reflect upon the private character of Liscoi.s. 'He was called a low jester, a buffoon, an uncouth flatboatman, and a vulgar boor. His wife nor his children were not spar ed any more than are those of :Pres ident GRANT to-day. The whole Dern. ocratic press of the country was then, 0 as now,supplied 1.3..1 RepubliCat's with all the materials fOr their cowardly and brutal assaults upon the -Presi dent of 'the United State's. 'Even af ter_ he-had become the regular candi date of the Republican party .for re election,the opposition did not cease, (for the document of liessrs.,W , Anz and Davis was issued qfter the re-nom ination ). The Democratic 'preSs ea .,. gerly seized it as an electioneering document, and presented it to the public as an evidence that the Repub lican party was going to pieces—that the people were deserting LixeoLN and the Republican party. We turn to the editorial columns of the Dein ocratic paper before us, and read as follows: "We have never known an administration from whose cauao its supporters are so anxions to withdraw their adhesion, as that of i Lincoln. Never did rats desert a sinking ship faster. On all sides, in every ( - martyr, they are leaving him' by scores—so rapidly, indeed, that it is even now regarded as extremely doubtful whether he will continne"to be a candidate many weeks. Read the manifesto of those old political sinners, Winter Davis, of Mar land, and Wade, of Ohio —both infected abolittomsts—arraigning . Old Abe for his mironstilettfrmal ads."' Disaffected 'Republicans and Dem ocrats alike discounted ithe prbspects of LINCOLN'; they represented for months, t l bat the army and the peo ple had iost confidence in (the party and its President, and thatLixcotz; was a bad, corrupt tyrant and usur per. What was the result? When the electoral college assembled, every_ 'State was for LINCOLN, except Dela ware, Kentucky and New JerSey I So in all probability, the States which voted for GRANT in 1868, will do the same thing again.

I desire Ito call your attention, and that o your readers, to Abe following e xtr act of .a letter written by Mr. Moore in reply to a blend in this city, who had asked him if ;there was any truth in the reports above mentioned.

Curtin, and thous who used his name and mine in any way in Mat Matter, did ft without the leosi atuhmity whatever." , No one who knows Mr. Moore, and he is well known throughout the State, will (era moment doubt the enure truthfulness of his statement, which shows.that the assertions were, from the first, mere fabrications; and yet, the Patriot of this city, a few days since, asserted that Gov.

GUIST and in personal favor to Hon- ACE Ggentr. Now, we are utterly opposed to this sort of personal poll- . tics. A man who abandons a p.srty because his party has nit the same sense-of his personal merits that ho has himself, and who joins another, hoping for better luck with the new than with the old,may be courageous as well as cunning, but it is impossi ble to coin mend such a one for politi ical wisdom and virtue. Ho acts up on the principle that what is- good for him must -bo - good for the coun try, and makes himself greater than the nation, and affirms that a part, is more-than the whole. He puts him self first and the country , last. He may not always do this onseionsly, but, whether intentionally or not,the thing is done, and the whole Cincin nati movement has its foundation, its starting- point, and main-spring in this sort of, personal politics. They accuse General Gassr of- personal government, while every department of it is as independent today _of the Executive as under any administra tion since Washington." HENRY 3VAIID BEECHER, in a late is sue of his popular and very widely circulated weekly, furnishes a brief statement of the political situation. With all his attachment to Gamus, that has been so freely expressed through the changes of yew's, he hesitates not a moment to abandon his old . friend, now \ that he finds that friend shaking hands with long enemies,in a mad hope of teach ing7the presidency by such treachery to principles. Writing after the ,meeting 'of the Free,-Traders, and the designation of GII4EBDECK as their candidate, Mr. BEncitEtt says, (anti we eomniend his words to considerate 'lien 6f all sec tions and names 1)1 . "Now, then, people can take their choice of the three 4's—Grant_Greeley, Groesbeck ; the brave soldier;the skillful editor, the acute law. ,yer ; The old Republican, the new Repalfican. Democrat, the old Democrat. As for ourselves, we stand by our colors—Grant and Wilson, and the old Republican party, which has been tried and proved to stormy days, when the whole nation leaned upon it and foundit a sure sup mrt. It went through the fire and the pool to our country. We do not believe that the eommon people oh America arc ready to throw away an old servant and pmt in its place a party whose whole strength lies in the adlies sion to it of the very men whom the Republi can party has fought before, at Shiloi at Vicksburg, at Gettysburg, and.around Rich mond. They tried to take Waihington several times before. They could not do it by bullets, and we do not intend that they shall Uy balloks. This country is not prepared' to pus the gdy ernmetit into the hands of that party which has for fifteen years done nothing but fight the. , laws arid that policy which they hope soon to construe and administer, It is not even pre tended that the rank and file of the Democrat ic party have been converted to those ideas for which the war was waged. They . have changed their policy, but not their convictions.' They will go to Waahington as Liberal Repnblicans, but once there they will throw off the odious - name, and stand forth oat-and-out Democrats. The old questions are mot settled. It is not likely that any party will attempt to overthrow the constitutional amendments. Bet a law may be made nugatory without abolishing it. The spirit of in administration may tterttralize a constitutional prt)vision withont attacking its letter. "If the Republican party is defeated it will be mainly by the concentration of Democratic votes, North and South. The Democratic ele ment will preponderate to such an extent that it will be impossible to carry on the (Torero meet except by its p - ilitical and moral influ ence. In six months there will not bo the shadow Of a doubt that the Democratic party has swallowed and digested all the erratic Re publicans that helped it, and it will stand forth, no new creation, born out of past struggles, with regenerated genius to lead en a new era, bat from inevitable inward necessity it will be the old Democratic party. The voice may lie Jacob's, but the hand will be Esau's. Now is the time to consider the "116 w far from possibility is it that in a year or two, should this noir movement strzteed:will the new administration think it best to pension the Southern wounded veterans for their ser vice and suffering? If they are taxed to pay the national debt, why, they will say, should we not be paid for some of our own losses 7 There is a prodigious property . interest in the South, now in silence.and obscurity, that may, if fair oecasion be Oven, bring an irresistible power to bear on the.Goverrunen4 and double the national debt," r1:11 THE: NEW TOR* Puwr !PEAKS. We are glad to find that the New York Evening Pusl means to take no dfibions position in this contest. This old anti-slavery organ has a host - of friends throughout the country, who will rally with it against, the Balti more nominee. Mr. • BRYANT thus spurns the bargain and sale, Mr. GREELEY and the , Democraey : "Having nominated Mr. Greeley for the Presidency, and received his acceptance of the nomination, the men- who managed the Balti more Convention expect to hold proprietary interest in him. It should be remembered at the Cincinnati Convention of Liberal Republi cans it was found impossible to obtain a vote making the nomination of Mr. Greeley unani mous. There was a sullen silence on the part of many, and an -indignant ' no' from others. At the Baltimore Convention no such difficulty was experienced.' He was received into full fel lowship with the party against which he had launched his fiercest invectives—received with out a dissenting voice. He is to bo re'vearde. for his apostasy with the post he most covets, and then he is to -be owned by his new allfes. The World, from which we have just - guided, says ; With the Democratic Cabinet wh: is Mr. Greeley will be constrained to appoint and the Democratic Congress which will be elected with him, there will be an opportunity fiir reform of administrative and legislative &brides.' " Here is a declaration of what the men who nominated Mr. Greeley at Baltimore expect of him. Ile is to be •constrainciP to appoint a Cabinet of their selectionforced to administer the Government throngh /their agents--com polled to place in office men of their choosing. When a Fruit, becomes& IdassuLman in Tnr key, the rite of cirennifision is first administer ed, and then the new/convert is led to worship in one of the mosques of the false prophet: Mr. Greeley has pmbmitted to the ceirninny which marks- therennnciation of his old faith, and ha's now only to conform—either willingly, or, irnot willingly, then by compul sion -to the/Practices of political association into whichlie has been solemnly received.' *ln July . 1871, the Hartford Ti ,s contained the following left , handed compliment to HonAcz GUEE /LEY. At Baltimore, the editor of the Tinie,q seconded the nomination: "Greeley is a clumsy and impoli tic manager, and utterly without the means of bringing his own party to his support. • He is what the- first Napoleon called an idealogist—a man bub j , teeming brain, but with *ru infirm, erratic aria itavanhable judgment! With all his experience it. is safe to say that he is the.poorest judge of eharapter of any prominent !pail in.this country.

I value highly this volunta ry and generous compliment. I should esteem it a distinguished honor and privilege to be one of the advocates of the manifold interests of our.

While the duties of these positions do not con diet—those of the one ending in all probability, before those of the other begin, yet I prefer to decline one of these nominations so cheer fully. given, and allow the selection, in my stead, of one of tho many suitable and compe tent Republicana in our giett Commonwealth. It is quite proper then for me to remark here. that for some years past, as a - member of our Senate, I have advocated the calling of a con vention, and having, at the last session of the Legislature, bad the honor to bo chairman of the State committee on coustitutional reform, gave special interest to the passage of the act authorizing the proposed convention. In view of these facts, I feel I could possibly render more eftleient_publie servize to my native and much loved Commonwealth as a member of the constitutional convention than as a Con gressman-at-large. Allow rue, then, through you, to tender to our State Committee my de clination of-the nomination as Congressman-at large.

Liberal - papers - In the Union, 'accompanied with comments severely reflecting upon the rascality and rottenness of Gen. GRANT and all his"administrative surroundings. But the storry is spoiled and the vituper ations of the opposition press shorn of their intended effect by the simple fact that there is no such fund at all and never has been—and that BECK either wilfully or , ignorantly has grossly misrepresented both facts and figures. A 'Washington corres pondent of the N. Y. Times gives the facts of the case as follows : The Greeleyites: are still hard at work manufacturing outrageous lies about the alleged expenditure of $200,000 from the public funds to af fect the election in North Carolina. They are simply Preparing. the way to explain their forthconluig defeat. Your correspondent has investigated this matter `thoroughly, and no one, not even the. malignant Mr. Beck,for he is a member of Congress and was partly responsible for it, that owing to the failure of Congress to pass the deficiency .until'ilate in 'the 'ses sion, the month of May, I believe, tho operations of the courts in every section of the country wore greatly embarrassed, and in some cures en tirely suspended. Many Of the mar shal, hired money at liberal rates of interests, in order not to impede the course of justice, and reimbursed themselves when the deficiency bill had passed. This accounts for the fact that the refinisitions of the Marshals, both for the last half of the last fiscal year r.; well as for the cnrrent qtlarter,are so close together. They are all thrown into the last sixty days, in stead of being distributed according to the terms. of the courts as usual, and this is not alone in regard to North Carolina, but in- regard to the Marshals of all the districts. The expeuditurea of the courts for North and South Carolina, as everybody knows, for the p•ist year have been abont.donble, their usual amount in• consequence of the Ku-Kinx. anti who will say that the suppres sion of these infamous outrages by the strong arin - of civil authority has not been cheaply as well as-thorough ly achieved? Now at no time within the past year has the Marshal for North Carolina drawn -more than iu any one requisition. l_lefore he can get that money his reiluisition must be approved by the Attorney General. Then it must pass the Secretary of the Treasury, which it only can do after an inves tigation of the. state of his account. After he gcts it ho is required by law to dephit it in a designated na tional depesitory, which reports.evc ry two weeks the state of his balance to the United - States Treasurer. When he checks' it out, he must state in his' check the precise. pur pose to .which the money is applied. Ile is required to present regular vouchers for every expenditure,. and these vouchers ninst have the :Troy al of the Judge of the court. They thew pass the Auditor and Control ler, so that it is impossible that any money should be imprOperly-applie d to the first instance, without the di rect collusion of the Attorney Gen eral and Secretary of the Treasury, or properly expended in the second intance, without the collusion be tween the Marshal: the Judge, the Auditor and the Controller. A Marshal may draw money and fail to render his accounts and thus become a. defaulter, but this is .not yet char p * ,, e(l, even in NOrtli Carolina, though ft is true of one or'inore;ex marshals who are now loud month ed for Greeley. The statement that heretofore not more than $5,000 has been checked from the Treasury at one time for the purposes for which marshals draw is a,transparent hood,for which there is not even Mr. Rock's warrant.. -Mr. Deck put it, " nutil within a few years," and an examination shows that for many years past the requisitions of mar= shall have reached $25,000 Or $3O, 000, according to the necessities o the courts: Very truly, Ilkuny Wurrr.

For the first time in the history of the • eountry wo man is recognized - in the platform of a large and dominant party. Philadelphia has spoken, and woman is no longer Ignored. This is the thin edge of the entering wedge which shall break woman's slavery in to pieces, and make us at last a nation in which caste of sex shall fall with caste of color, and humanity alone shall he the criterion of human rights. The womeneof the country have long looked to the Republican party in hope, not in vain,tor to-day wo are launched into the political sea. It must hereafter fight our battles. This great party, this progressive party, having 'taken the initiative step, will never go back on its record.
