First:—That Gen. hid
illegally used the moneys l of the
Commonwealth, in applying the same
in carrying on various operations in
stocks, to the extent of several -mil
lions of dollars, and to the payment
of his private debts.
Second,—That Gen. Hartzianft had
used the moneys of the Commen
wealtli in the purchase of nail:odds
for his own benedlt--particularly the
purchase of $189.500 of the five per
cent. loan, and $31,050 of the six per
cent. loan—and the sale of. • same
to the sinking fund at a • refit 'to

*glowing are swage's exact
words at ,the Greeley meeting in
Lemingtori, - on the 9d ult. : - . •
- - "I have devoted a lifetime . 'to the -
principles of the Deznocratic party. ,
I have grown gray in the - advocacy
of t hos e priaoes, and each year
the conviction has grown deeper that
its fundamental prate: lee are the
true foundation stones for .this Gem
erzunent. I have seen upon the bat
tlefield thousands throw away
_their
lives in defense of these pruiciples.
The Owns of the gallant Southern
dead who sleep upon every hillside
in the South., over whose graves the
night winds sigh, are reminders to
me of the love for these principles
which still lingers in my heart.
The exond passage in,Mr. Greeley's
letter means that John - C. Breckm

the South shill be restored 'to their
former Mti g isof power and
—influ
ence. back upon the price
shattered and fruitless hopes of the ,
South, I now see that the ;equal
rights and sovereignty of States shall
be restored, and m a y comrades of • the
lost, cause have not died in vain.
This will be a 'victory 'for that for
which they fought. Mr. Greeley
promised to do all he , could to aid us
when we get a majority in Congress.
I object to Grant because ho'is a Re=
publican; because he - is a member of
that party which waged successfully
the contest against my brethren. of
the South, whose orators kept the
fires burning that filled the Federal
ranks withecildiers. I have heard it
said by _some that the Democratic
party shall hive no part with
_Mr.
'Greeley in the conquest ; but I . feel
that they will not be neglected.' Not
only will Greeley not forget who has
helped hira.to his position, but'pleig
es—direct pledges—have been given
us by him that we shall not be for
gotten in case of success." •
Hodgeris an elector for. the State
at large. Col. U. C. P. Breckenridge
said et the same meeting I
" Our part of this barman is to
give the Liberal Republicans " our
votes, in order to enable them to suc

of the bargain is to restore to power
the. 110 W diefrandhised sons of the
South, to drive out of the temple
these vandals and thieves, • and re.
store you, Democrats, to their posi
tions. They: areto give your men of
the South those places'. which- the
men of the dominent party now hold.
I don't cure a picayune 'for Horace
GieelsY, er 'what, he has said. He
represents the dawn of a new era to
us, that will restore us to - power.
Will not that be victory enough for
us? It may be, in the, words 'of a
friend, Woodford Blackburn, -, that
" Greeley is purgatory, but Grant is
bell." The elec.ticin of- Greeley alser
means that the rederil soldiers, edict'

'his classmate and speciar—friend,
,Frederick Tr Dent; who• was of a St.

could be obtained, Lieutenant Dent,
in his visits to , his„home, took his
friend with him, and here he became

whom he afterward married. Thiia

life which would otheinise . t have been

time, to look after. marauding Indi-

year, he we:3'l*a to Camp Salubrity,

iza - that he had not received his edu
cation for nothing. . •
The next year his regiment* was
Ordered to :the Mexican frontier,
where it formed a part of General
Taylor's army of occupation. There
was some trouble about boundaries
between the United States and Mex
ico. and General i Taylor occupied
Texas. About this time he received'
his full commission as second libu
tenant, but he Was gazetted to the
7th regiment: _ This change was re
pugnant to him, as it separated him
from his friend Dent anefrom his
commies - of the 4th, who had learn
ed to estimate the silent little man
correctly, and who knew that beneath
the plain exterior lurked the heart of
a hero and the genius of a great gen,
oral. The officers united with him
in• endeavoring to effect a change in,
the appointment, and by special fa
vor th R was acceded to at head
_quarters, to the general joy of the .
regiment. The 4th was in canton
ments -for some time at Statements,
and then marching under General
Taylor to relieve
.the sore-pressed
garrisons of Port Brown; the soldiers
of the United States came in contact
with the forces of SanttrAnna at Palo
Alto, where Grant first received the
baptism of fire. It was fought on
the Bth of Mayi_and was a decisive
victory for our soldiers. Grant in
that actiondisplayed the determined
energy - and '- imperturble coolness
which characterized- him during his
career; but no opportunity ~arose for
displaying the higher qualifications,
Which some suspected, but Which yet
slumbered, and which never- would
have been known if great eniergen
cies .had not brought them. to light.
- Santa Anna being largely re-en
forced, made another stand on Me
following day at Reseca de-la Polma,
bat his forces were completely rout
ed and driven over the river in con
fusion. At the battle of Monterey,
which was a far fiercer contest than
either of the feregoing ? - the 4th regi
ment bore the most prominent part,
and Grant particularly distinguished
himself, being mentioned in general
orders in terms of high approbation
for his gallant conduct. Then fol
lowed the tedious siege of Vera
Cps; in k which Lieutenant. Crane's
kudwiedge of engineering was found
- highly, serviceable , and was, again
menbOned in general orders As a
kind„ of promotion _he was made
anartermaster of his ` regiment, and
at the same time placed on the staff
of General Taylor • and now came
thelong and. toil some march upon
the City of Mexico, Mid_ the fierce
fighting which made the reputation'
of General Winfield Scott, especially
'MI line del Rey, where he was pro
moted to a first lieatenantcy on the
field of battle. This was'fought on
the Bth of September, ,1847, but-
Quartermaster Grant, thotigh by the
regulations not compelled to serve in
the field, -had been in all the previ
ous fighting at Cerra Gordo, at ; San
Antonio, mid at Chernbasco. On
the 13th of September,five days after
the fight at lifeline del Rey; he (lid
such valorous' things at the storming
of Chapultepec as won for him .the
praise and love of the whole army.
Half way up_ the slope, where
frowned the: castle's walls, was a
strong field work, so flanked by ra
vines and cannons that it _could only
attacked in front under a withering
fire., But it had to be carried before
the stormers, with their ladders and'
famines to fill up the dry moat castle,
_could advance. A battalion of the
4th was ordered to advance, and
pressed forward steadily under the
dreadful fire., At every step men fell
dead and dying, and when they got
within musket Shot of the redoubt,
the fire was so horrible that the_ line
faltered, and the men began to give
way. At that moment Quartermas
' ter Grant rushed to , the front, and
rallying the infentry, wheeled them
to the left, 'while Captain Brooks
of the 2d artillery, wheeled his guns
to the right,- and both opened such a
fire ripen 'the -Mexicans that they
broke and lied with confusionto_the
redoubt, which was entered pell mell
by tho victors and the - vanquished.
L Iry bodies of Mex.cans 'now ad
vanced to' retake the work,but Grant
and Brooks held on like grim death
itself until other regiments' came up
to their - support and the enemy gave
way in confusion. Stein old Gener
al Worth spoke of the achievement
with tears in his eyes, and thanked,
him publicly for having " acquitted
himself most nobly." He had, ' be

ing appointed a brevet captain, and

THE maps AGILIMIT -HAT- - •
In all the history: of pannsy henna
politics, we search in vain for a par
allel to ithe crusade which the Dille
delphk Press has. instituted aglinst
the Republican candiddeefor *Clover- °
nor, Gen. Jelin - Pellaricanft. There '
is no precedentaxid there is
no principle in it . OF; IMMO for it.
Newspapers have .undoubtedly assail
ed the persorialr of political - '
opponents 'witle - Yuiresiese severity ;
but even in those cam, there has al
most always bent at kid a founda
tion of fad on which the attacks
have been _based. Thit the assault - -
upon Gen. KOZiirtUale leveled by a
party paper et .the respdaly moral- - -
nated leader of lingo ticket, on the
critical - eve -of a - Presidential cam
paign, after the most erplipit pledges.,
of support to the ticket. And, far
worse than thiseit is leveled at a Cit
izen of Pennsylvania, who served. his
country nobly in the field 1 ire the -
hours
,of 'greatest - neede who has since '
then-servcd his State with- ixpliiil ft-
delity and ability in civil office,-and
who has receivedirom his present '
assailant, the Press, the strongest en
dorsement that pen could write or
inane:raid ash : • -.
-" He was a ga ll ant soldier and Las
been a .faithful official. He is an.
HONEST kiktr, a Radical Republican,
and will make a GOOD GOVXBNOR." --
- Now, the Preis, ignoring all its
own testimony to Gen. Hartranft's
official purity and ppeersonal worth, is
preaching a :against him, - so
false in all its prmi , , and so vin
dictive and nen% in all its assaults
that it would be most remarkable if
the public did no fully comprehend I
the motives' which actuate ta b sin
gular tirade against one of Pennsyl
vania's honored sons.
The opposition to Gene Ha Intuit
by the Preie is On per 4 p none'

grounds—a Contest between . For
ney and Mr. Cameroe, with a deter
mination on the part of thu former -
to sale or rune - • ''•
sow, we care not for either.. We
admire Mr. Forney's abilities as a
lfournalist, and we.grutefally acknow
edge his past services to the Repub
lican party and to the country. We ' •
no leis admire M.r.i Cameron as e
.type of the Pennsylvania statesman. .
In the Senate he stood by Pennsyl
vaniali industries like a mighty - giant. ,
He has grown with our development, •
and has done as much as any living
man to develop the untold wealth
and resources of this great . Snit°.
Both have their faults, at; have all -
men. , - -
But. that Mr. Forney should choose ,
the gubernatrial campaign o. 1872, •
on the issue Of which depend a na
tional Republican victory or defeat,
to gratify his personal hatred to Mr.-
Cameron, is entirely inezensable. 'lt
is not for the friends of.M.r. Cameron
to cry. " halt." The interests of the
whole Republican party in the State
and nation, and the nation itself de
mands that this personal enareel
shall cease.: ... '
' Mr. Forney seeks to avenge Mr.
Cameron by attempting ,the defeat of ,
Gen. Hartranft : Bat Maitre , = nft •is
- not and was not Mr. Cameron's first
choice, as is well knolin; it was Hon.
- john B. Packer, the son-in-law .of hie;
brother, William Cameron, of Lew
isburg. Col. - WM. - B. Maim end Col.
Wm. H. Remble, of Philadelphia, ir
reconcilable fedi of llerr. .Cameron,
were the wannest friends. Gen. Hart
ranft had, the former heading the :
city delegation. In Chester, -and
Montgomery, and Lehigh, and other
counties,..the anti-Cameron inen,were
the chum — pions of Hartrauft.
With Forney's testimony and ad
mission that Gen. Hartranft " ices a
brave soldier, is an honest man, and
would make a pod Governor," his
opposition, to him must certainly Bp-.
pear ridiculous in the estimation of
the thoughtful, readers of the Preis.
This opposition, this tirade of abuse,
this stultification, 'this tireless cru
sade against the brave man, must
then be set down as personal feud
with which neither Gen. Hartranft
nor the State ticket, as such, had any
thing in the least to. do. The Prey
was a power in the State, and Mr.
Forney had ' made -many devoted
Mends through its columns t but in
telligent readers - no longer trust it. •
Republicans who at heart desire the
continued ascendency of the party
and its principles in Pennsylvania;
refuse to obey the demands of Mr.
Forney, and have long Since branded
him a slave to personal ambition.
Not _twty months , ago, Mr. Forney,
himself, in the columns.of the .Press, .
said : "Of Gen. Hartranft we can
speak nothing but praise."
When Mr. Forney pronouneed this-,
.ealogium on our gallant nominee, he
knew all about that gentleman that
he knows now. He has done no
thing since that time; nordoer . ' Mr.:
Forney pretend that he has worthy
of censure. The charges _ against
Gen. Hartranft are - pure inventions,
after-thoughts of the Press,_ MGM
tained - by any shadow of. a proof,
contradicted by the plainest evidence,
recklessly hurled at an unblemished
reputation, in it crusade whose organ
stultified its own testimony. at each
step, and which is too transparent in
its character to win any . honest fol
lowers. • •
Yesterday "honest," to-day -" dis
honest ;" yesterday " a faithful effi- _
eta who would make a good .Gover
nor," to-day a "nauseous dose," are
words between which the unreliable
and ambitions Forneyvacillates in
speaking of Gen. Hartranft No
wonder that Must and. disinteteated:
men are everywhere repudiating the_
Press as altepublican journal. The
Press has -not made one specific.
charge against Hattranft, and no pa
per-in the country has yet;attempted
a proof of those made by his enemies.
With the Philadelphia Bulletin; v;u
look upon this permnarfight by 11r.
Forney as an attempt - to martpize
himself, but the death of the semi&
is another. The martyr takes its
place in the calendar of the Saints ;
Vie suicide lies at the croqs• roads,
