called upon to endure in their efforts to

Typographical Error. .
The." Long Branch" Repnblican organ
of this county, keeps the following stand
ing at the head of its cnlumna r anderthe
caption of "Grant."
"Modest, though bray*); though 'Went, full of
sense.
Such are the traits that marks bur chosen man
Note him, 0 world! and match him iryoucaol"
All honest, intelligent men, who 'read
that sheet are wondering that a would be
critic, should speak of Grant as "full of
sense" and not spell it "cents." It argues
bad for his orthography. As a "silent"
man it is universally conteded that he is
a success. He is the author of the official
tactics of "addition, division and silence"
For these and many other similar
"traits," the "world" cannot "match him."
The Life of Simbn Cameron.
We call the attention of oilr readers to
a letter to the New York Herald ; Tinted
on our first page, which is a most inter
esting biography of Simon Cameron, pro
rated from authentic materials and by a
competent hand. The anther is Mr. D.
b. Forney, who has a most minute and
particular knowledge of his subject. It is
the more interesting because it is in
truth the history of the Radical -party'of
Pennsylvania during the years that Cam
eroirlmi been its representative and
leadv,4 and has brought it at last to that
pita of infamy that ull decentjnen and
patriotic citizens are quitting it in dis
gust.
Tom. Murphy Caught.
The Grant organ of this county true to
its instincts, publishes a statement that,
Tom. Murphy has denied that he paid
anything toward the purchase of Grant's
Long Branch cottage. Like its course in
the "Carmicjiael" case, it publishes the
falsehood but " forgets" to give its readers
the facts in refutation which we give be
low, from a source that iAnquestionable.
Mr. A. T. Stewart ; of New York, says :
"4 subscription paper for a fund to
bay .a Long Branch cottage to be given
.to President Grant was presented to him
for a subscription of five thousand dollars
to complete the full amount. On this
paper wenythe itarnes of -Thnmas Mur
phy, Grant's Collector at New' York,
John Hoye, Geo. W.Childs, Adolph Bo
ric, and those of four or five more for five
thousand dollars each."
Mr. Stewart declined to sign. The
champion gift-taker could easily.cleq up
this matter if he would. His reticence
will not he considered a virtue in this
case.
'Henry Wilson, the office-holders'
candidate for Vice-President, in s late
speech, declared: " I have never in my
political life written a line or uttered a
sentence tending to degrade any man,
white or black." What interpredation
does Mr. Wilson put upon the following
extracts from speeches delivered by him
in Massachusetts, in 1854? • • "The
time had come when the uniform of the
the State militia should no longer be dis
graced by being seen on the back of a
Catholic Irishman or Infidel Dutchman."
• • • • "By the light of these
burning shanties the Teuton and Celt
may read the certain doom that will over
take them in their attempt to compete
with the native born American for politi
cal supremacy ou this continent." Are
not these declarations calculated to • "de
grade" intelligent white men ?
e !ass. Resort.
The New York • Times finds . a new
cause of alarm in the fact that when Mr.
Greeley goes into office, there will elapse
nine months before Congress meets. Yes;
and he will no doubt "suspend" many of
the Radical thieves whom.. Mr. Secretary
Bontwell 'says -the Radical Senate will
shield from removaL :That will save the
country nine Months of -their stealing,
'before the beauties of the tenure'of office'
law are exhibited is the Way. that, Bout-'
well promised in this infamous passage of
his speech in North, Carolina:
If you - contemplate electing Greeley to
the Presidency you must contemplate it,
iu view of the fact that the Senate, what
' ever may be the present opinion of the
country, will be Republican for the next
two years, and with alaost equal certain
ty for the next four'rears. You must
contemplate, therefore, a return of the
state of things which existed during
Johnson's adnimistration. You Will
secure the retention of dishonest men in
office by a process which does not admit
of control.
nuestlon or Veracity.
No one as yet, has ever proved Senator
Sohlire a falsider—not so, with Grant
however'. The Louisville Courier Jour
nal reminds us of Grant's surrender of
the war office to Stanton. "Johnson
wished to test, the constitutionality of the
Tenure-of-office act in the courts, after
the Senate - had decided that Stanton
should be restored, and the only way to
do it was'for, Geri. Grant—the - Secretary
of War odinterin34to
.resist Stanton's
reinstatement and thereby force him to
appeal to the courts. Gen. Grant pro

IA London, tins fellow Nast would
dwindle to his true proportions, which at
best, are not very large. The idea upper.
most in this fellow's tidal , is that the
democratic party is composed exclusively
of Irish forgetting the fact that there are
three million democratic votes. When he
seeks to make ridicule of the democracy
he seizes the type of Irish face common
to Punch—in fact plagiarised from Punch
—and this ho endeavorii to make as hide

This trick of holding an entire nation
ality up to ridicule, while in the words of
Hamlet it may make the vulgar laugh,
will yet recoil on its perpetrators. The

this ribald sheet, will gain nothing by
such tactics.—Exchange.

New York, August 4.—The Times of

The remaining Jseventeen counties are
mostly small and will not materially
change these figures. The Republicans
concede the State by 1,500 to 2,000 ma

in the result, as the Democrats are slow

SCIttiER, :UNITED STATES: SENATOR—
DEAu Sia:—YOur letteripublished in the'
papers, of • this morning will create pro-.
found :pain and regret among former po
litical friends throughout New England.
Your power to injure General Grant was
exhausted in your remarkablespeech in the
S4nte; Your" power to injure lonrself
was,
.nee fully exercised until you ate
nOrnieed an open ulliance with the &inch
ern- secessionists in their efforts to destroy
the Republican party of the nation. I
haie but recently read with much inte
rest the circumstantial' and minute ac
count given by you in the fourth volume
of your works, of the Manner in . which
yon were struck down in the Senate
Chamber in 1856, for defending the rights
of the negro. The Democratic party
throughout the South, and according to
your own showing to some extent in the
North, also,. approved that assault upon
you. Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, openly
announced his approval of it in the Sen
ate, and Jefferson Davis, four months
after its occurrence, wrote a' letter to
South Carolina in fulsome eulogy of
Brooks for having so nearly taken your
life. It is safe to say that every man in
the South who rejoiced over the attempt
to murder you was afterward in the Reb
el conspiracy to murder the nation. It is:
I still safer to saylliat every one of them
who survives is tb-day your fellow laborer
in support of Horace Greeley. In 1856
lie would indeed have been a rash prophet
who predicted your fast alliance sixteen
years after with Slessrs. Toombs and Davis
in their efforts to reinstate their own par
ty in power. In all the startling muta
tions of Amerienu politics nothing so
marvelous has ever occurred as the follow
ship of Robert Toombs, Jefferson Davis
and Charles Sumner in a joint effort to
drive the Republican party from power
and hand over the government to the
practical control of those who so recently
sought to destroy it. It is of no avail for
you to take refuge behind the Republican
record of Horace Greeley. Conceding,
for the sake of argunient (as I do not in
fact believe), that Horace Greeley would
remain firm in his Republican priuciples,
he .would be powerless against the Con
gress that would conic into power with
him in the event of his eledtion. We
have had a recent and striking illustration
in the case of Andrew Johnson, of the
inability of the President to enforce a poli
cy, or even a measure, against the will of
Congress.. What more power would there
be in Horace Greeley to enforce a Repub
lican policy against a Democratic Con
gress than there was in Andrew Johnson
to enforce a DemOcratic policy against a
Republican Congress? And, besides,
Horace Greeley has already, in his letter
of acceptance, taken ground practically
against the Republican doctrine so often
enforced by yourself, of the duty of the
National government to secure the rights
of every citizen to protection of life, per
son
and property. In Mr. Greeley's letter
accepting the Cincinnati nomination, he
pleases every: Nu-Klux villain in the
South by repeating the Democratic cant
about " local self-government," and en-'
ve;ghing in good rebel parlance against
"centralization," and finally declaring'
that " there shal be no Federal subversion
of the internal policy of the several States'
and municipalities, but that each Shall be
left free to enforce the rights and promote I
the well-being of its inhabitants by such
means as the judgment of its own people
shall prescribe."
The meaning of all this is in plain Eng
lish that no matter how the colored ctizen
of the South may be abused, wronged and
oppressed, Congress shall not interfere for
their protection, but leave them to the
tender mercies of the "local self-govern
ment" administered by the white rebels.
Do you, aS a friend to the colored man,
approte this position of Mr. Greeley?
' Yon cannot forget, Mr. Sumner, how
often during the late session of Congress
you conferred with me in regard to the
possibility of baring your Civil Rights
bill passed dy the House. It was intro-'
ducefi by your personal friend, Mr. Hoop-
er, and nothing prevented its passage by '
the House except the rancorous and fic
tions hostility of the Democratic mem
bers.
If I have correetly examined the
. Globe, the Doman de members:on seven- !
teen different occasions resisted the pas
sage of the Civil Rights bill by the parli- I
amentary process known as filibustering. I
They would not Eden allow it to come to
a vote. Two intelligent colored. members
from South Carolina, Elliott and . Rainey,
begged of the Democratic sidefof the
House- to merely allow the Civil Rights
bill to.be voted on, and they were answer
ed with a denial so absolute - that it
amounted to a scornful jeer of the rights
of the colored man. And now yon lend
your voice and influence to the .election
of. the Democratic members who are co
operating with you in the support of Mr.
Greeley. Do yon not know, Mr. Sumner,
.and will you not as a candid man ack
-nowledge, that with these men in power
in - Congress, the rights of the oolored
men are absolutely sacrificed so far as
those rights depend on federal legislation ?
Still:, further: the rights: of the colored
men iwthis country are secured, if secured
-at all, by the three great constitutional
amenffigents—the Thirteenth, Fourteeth
and-:Fifteenth. To give these amend
ments-full scope and effect, legislation by
Congress is imperatively required, as you
:have so often and so eloquently .demon
strated.. But the Demoertio party are on
-record in the most conspicuous manner
against.any legislation owthe siabject. It
was - only in the month of February last
, that. ntr collegue, Mr. Peters,-.offered.
rtscilutiou in the House of Representa
tives, affirming" the validity-of the con
stitutional amendments and of such rea
' sonable -legislation of Congress as may be
necessary to make i
then' n their letter
and spirit moikeffectual.": This resolu
tion,'- very. mild and guarded' as you,--: will
see,-was.adopted*by 12.4 yeas to 48 .nays;
' only Bof the'Yeas were .Democrats.. The
' resolution _of Mr. Peters was followed,
week-later, by one 'offered by-Mr. Steyeu

Grually , iminaimons Supput,
_Mr:
eeley.'.:, _
It #ll /MC ,tO,allinn, as some Deinocrats
aid in , Osolutiliii by'lar. Brooks
of New York, that "these amendments
are valid parts of the Constitution" so
long as the same men on the same day
vete that the provisions of those amend
-
Monts should, not be enforced by Congres
sional legislation. The amendmmits are
bbt "sounding brass and tinkling cym
bals'! to the colored man until Congress
Makes them effective and Practical. Nay,
more; if the rights of the colored .man
aro to be left to the legislation of the
Southern States ; without Congressional
iintervention,.he would, nnder a Demo

and he would be very ; lucky if he escaped
some forbid' chattel slavery or peonage,
and in proof of this danger !Might quote
`Volumes of wisdom and warning from
the speeches of Charles Sumner.
When, therefore, you point out to the
colored men that themerights will be safe
in the hands of the Democratic .party,
you delude and mislead them—l do not
say wilftilly, but , none the less really.
The small handful of Republicans—com
pared with the whole mass—who unite
with yourself and Mr. Greeley in going
over to the Democratic party,can not leaven
that lump of political unsoundness even
if you preserve your own priginal princi
ples in the contak The administration
of Mr. Greeley, therefore, should he be
elected, would be in the whole and in
detail a Democratic administration, and
you would be compelled to go with the cur
rent, or repent and turn back whet' too
late to mend the evil you had dune.
Your argument that Horace Greeley
does not become a Democrat by
Democrtio votes illustrating it by
the analogy of your own election
to the Senate is hardly perti
nent. The paint is not what Mr. Greeley
will become personally, but what will be
the complexion of the great legislative
branch of the government, with all its
vast controlling power. You know very
well, Mr. Sumner, that if Mr. Greeley is
elected President, Congress is handed
over to the control of the party who have
persistently 'denied the rights of the black
man. What come yon will pursue to
ward the colored man is of small conse
quence after you have transferred the
power of government to his enemy.
The colored men of this country are
! not, as a class, enlightened ; but they have
wonderful instincts, and when they read
your letter they will,know that ata great
crisis in their fate you deserted them.
Charles Sumner co-operation with Jeffer
son Davis is not the same Charles Sumner
they have hitherto idolized any more than
Horace Greeley, cheered to the echo in
Tammany Hall, is the same Horace Gree
ley whom the Republicans have hitherto
trusted. The black men of this country
will never be ungrateful for what you
have done for them in the past—nor, in
the bitterness of their hearts, will they
ever forget that, heated and blinded by
personal hatred of one man, you turned
your back on the millions to whom in
past years you have stood as a shield and
bulwark of defense!
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES G. BLANE.
Governor Curtln's Position.
[From the Washsington Patriot.
Therei is no longer any doubt in regard
to the course which ex-Governor Curtin
intends to pursue in the Presidential
campaign. Letters have been recently
received from him, in which he announ
ces his purpose to support Mr. Greeley
and to canvass the State et Pennsylvania
for him as soon as he returns home next
month. lie also states that he had de
termined a year ago to oppose Grant., in
consequence of his objectionable conduct
and unfitness, even if be had been obli
ged to support au old-fashioned Democrat
in opposition to his re-election. Although
the vote of Pennsylvania is considered
certain for Buckalew in October, and
necessarily for Greeley in November, this
accession will serve to swell the popular
current and to give it increased volume.
Governor Curtin has been out of the
country for several years and free from all
the personal controversies which have
arisen in that time. Consequently his
judgment may be regarded as impartial,
and formed without the influence of those
motives which have perhaps unconsci
ously, atlbcted others in piiblie life.
Campaign Notes.
—The Most encouraging news from
Maine, and everywhere else.
—The Grant men of Janesville, Wis,
recently hung Greeley andßrown in effigy.
It did not hurt Messrs, Greeley and Brown
very much, but it cost the Grant party
some of its best men. This shows the
spirit which the Re-electionists carry into
the campaign.
—As every man who turns from Grant
to Greeley is denounced by the Re-notni
natiouists as a renegade or a rascal,it
would be interesting to know what sort
of materials that party is composed 01.
Its members are evidently a precious set
of scamrs in each others estimation.
General Longstreet, whom Grant
made Surveyor of New Orleans, has come
out for Mr. Greeley with great enthusi
asm. lie will take an active part in the
campaign, and predicts the success of the
Reform ticket in all the southern states
but one or two.
—lt seems that Mr. Secretary Delano
was implicated in a disreputable bit •of
jobbery while Thomas Corwin was Secre
tary of the Treasury, in 1852. It: is no
wonder that he has a place in the present,
cabinet. le doubtless came near the
truth when he told the North' Carolina
negroes he was the smartest fellow in the
world.
—Senator Conkling, in his speech in
New. York, the other evening, proved to
his own satisfaction that Mr. Greeley- has
long been a political, trnckster, and. 'a
9 lip ng, unreliable deniagogue. And
yet two years ago, ii-spite orill his polit
ical depravity, this same. Mr. Coukling
voted for Mr. Greeley, as'a candidate for
Governor. What sort of Apolitical lead ?
er is Mr.noseee_Conkling acconlin,g to
his own showing?
—lfere'lran illustration of the way the
Liberal Movement grows in New *Eng- .
bud. - A month ago tha New lininrizbire
.Gazello paid there Was 'oulY, one Greeley
man in Northainploit: Ltist week ;a call
rot a-. Greeley and Browtrzneeting . was
signed by 'olio hundred Liberal •Republi,
etin . Citizens. Three- mOnths of sash
gioirtb and there'will notbe Grant mein
enough left to get up a detent funeral
of the tarty in November.
—Fourteen Republican papers in New
York hive_ abandoned Grant for. Oreeley.
`And most of them are papers of large
circulation and influence. 'How many
More would adopt the same course but for
Custom House, Post-office, Internal Rev
enue, and other equally patriotic conside
rations,- it is impossible to tell, One Dem
ocratic paper advocates Grantand person
alseyernineut..„ This imlicat44tia.,..drift
of N'evr York journalism.
—Retills the Grant people must be in a
strait for facts and arguments, and in a
terrible condition of mind generally when
they can print and read anchStuff as this,
which recently appeared in one of their
Ppnsylvania, papers: " Caligula and
Nero as tyrants would shrink] away, and
hide their diminished heads compared to
Greeley. who is an incarnate demon in
'human form,driven on by the hell-hounds
of the late Rebellion." Fearlnl state they
must be in. The desperated condition of
the patient would certainly justify an an
te-mortem examination. '
—Those excellent gentlemen who spend
their days and nights to discover some
thing damaging iu the Tribune that they
can attribute to Mr. Greeley! might find
some delicious rhetorical plunk in the
the speeches of Henry Wilsbn made in
Ins Know-Nothing days. Iffer,e is one:
"In the heart of a foreigner! beats not a
single throb of patriotism. All the oaths
in the world cannot bind hini." His pic
ture of the Dutchman smoking his pipe,
without one ray of intelligence in his
bloated face, would serve as a,striki , fg il
lustration for one of his speeches to the
Germans of Illinois.
—Senator Sumner's silence has troubled
the Grant men sorely. They' hoped he
hated Mr. Greeley so much that he would
not lend his name and- influence to the
Liberal cause. They feared he would
throw his personal weight into that move
;l
ment, and so insure its slice:Bs. One of
the Boston papers entreated trn to curse
Greeley if he could not bless Grant. At
last the distinguished Senator has seen tit
to break the sileder, by writing an elabo
rate letter defining his positim. He places
himself squarely upon . the Liberal ground,
and gives all the sanction and support of
his great name and fume to the Liberal_
cause. He says " the unity of the Repub
lic, and the equal rights of all, With re
conciliation,. are represente4 by Horace
Greeley." • ,
—The great argument of the Grant
men is that he is paying the national
debt. Yes! bat whoie money is be pay
ing with ? And -how much i more of it
would have, been paid had. not so much
been plundered from the national treas
ury by his defaulting appointees? And
how much faster it would be paid if the
hundred and fifty millions Boutwell keeps
lotked up and idle in the treasury were
wisely invested? And if he cared much
about paying the national deht,•wortld he
have had the most extravagant Adminis
tration since the government was found
ed His friend talk as though he . were
paying the national debt out of his own
pocket, as Webster once pro Posed to do
when he, threw his empty wallet down
upon his desk in the'Senate Chamber r
but the truth is, he has grown rich on the
spoils of his office,, and has helped his
friends to fortunes, and has seen the pub
lic money absorbed by defaulters and
squandered by the * Administration with
out a murmur, and to-day is using the
treasure of the nation 'to secure: his own
re election fur another term. And this
is the man who is paying the national
debt! The claim is almost top prepos
terous to-bc absurd, and those who make
it must be strangelyauisinformed or think
other men are idiots. , • ;
—Gen - : Grant thought: renomination
equitilen't 16 . re-election. -Hc has begun
to suspspt that there is sonic truth in the
Scripture which says many are*alled but
few chosen. But he is doing the best he
knows to make his call and cleption sure.
Having bought so many editersand (Ape
holders, it is not remarkable that he
should think every man has his price and
that the Secretary of the Tredsury is the
proper man- to send into. the southern
market - to buy votes. Experience is a
hard schoolmaster,. but the only one that
can teach some men anything. •
Attempto to Bribe Stanton.
Other Senators were approached just as
Mr. Shurz says ho was approached. Some
'of them were proof; they will probably
now feel 'called Upon - to relate their' expe
rieucC. Others proved morel compliant
and alive id their own " interests; ' we
have as .yet to hear the first (,complaint
`rum them of a failtire on the part of the
.'resident
,to redeem the pronuses made
by his hypocritical agent. The: abuse of
the patronage at that time andF for that
purpose was shamelessand scandalous in
the last degree. Mr. Sumner was directly i
offered the Englislimission by (Secretary
Fish; Mr.Yamaron's eyes were lopened to
the *advents of the projected '.anne.ia
thin by the factual bestowal of h. similar.
honor upon . a Member of his faMily. That
Mr. Shurz was approached as he says he,
I was, no one , who knows anything' about
1 this high' toned and truthful: gentleman
will fora moment doubt. That he =kW
ample reason, under all eircuMstaiices,
forbelieving the bid came front General
Grant, is equally Unquestionable. Awl
that he would have been placed in pos-.
session of the premised patronage if he
had given the required consideratton,
atleast,'"aPt and of, great crsdit.'! ,
There is another denial; however: _The
telegraph repota Senator. Conkling as
"sayingof .31r. Sclintes assertion: "The
man who says that lies;' and I am re
sponsible for the statement." It is not
clear whether. the remark wasua nfulo

The only man who will be injured by the
performance is one Roscoe_ Conkling.
