Clasping Hands.
The Democrats and Liberal Republi
ging of Crawford county met in separate
Gotinty Conventions last Tuesday, and
agreed upon a county ticket composed of
the purest and ablest men in the two
organizations. After the ticket had been
settled, a grand ratification meeting was
held, which was addressed by Prof Leo.
!Eller, of New York, and others. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. On the
same day a anion ticket was formed by
the Democrats and Liberal &publicans
of Venango county. In the evening an
immense ratification meeting was address
ed by Hon. James IL Hopkins, Demo- '
erotic candidate for Congressman-at-
Large, Hon. Wm. £ Wallace and othert.

Joint County Convention In Erie.
The Democrats and Liberal Bepubli.
cans of Erie County held a joint conven
tion last Thursday and nominated a full
county ticket, composed of good and pure
men selected from the two parties. The
Democrats assembled in Wolibel's Hall
Itepuldicans in the Court
Houie. Committees of Conference were
appointe4 and a division of the offices
madticn satisfactory basis. After this
thobemocrats marched• in double filo to
Court House, where speeches were made
end a cordial union took place. The
chairman of 'the Democratic convention
presided, and joint committees of fifteen
froin'each organization finally reported a
ticket which was enthusiastically endors
ed. Eloquent speeches were made by
Hon. William 41. Galbraith, Hon. Mor
row B. Lowry, Judge Olin and others.
It.was a scene of general rejoicing, a
union which gives promise of victory.
Why should not a similar coarse be
pursued in Susquehanna county ?

sly F ear Sir :—I am this morning
_in
receipt of of the 28th inst.,
asking'fiiiilie Cadet' truth with i-egard to
the drinking habits of President Grant.
In giving you the information-of the facts
that are known to exist in this important
national matter; allow me to premise that
I have always, at all times and, places,
been . a friend of our Chief Magistrate..
I was one of the first to advocate his be
ing brought from his. command at the
West to' thefrent of Eichmond. I wrote
a, book: Of, his life, known as "The Tan
ner Boy," Which had a wide circulation.
I was eXtrernely auxiontuto vindiOte him
on the . :temperance' qitestiori, and was
glad Ori'liite coming `,*ashingtort

the habitual tieter 'statue' drink. Itivas
daring Oda:Period, and;for a short interim
succeeding, that he was recognized in the
manner spoken of by the
,excellent wo•
Man (Mary . J. R. line!) to. Whom you re
fer In Year letter.
But I regret. to be under
.the. necessity
of informing you" that an unfavorable
change has come over the personal habits
of President Grant in this respect. lam
soiemnly i bound in honor to say,from the
facts of which I halo possession, that no
"Insistent temperance snow can support
hi" It INlnnt 4 ho denied in Washington
that ho has on several 0t.......4inn5' been ,
'peen under the influence. 01 hqu.or. kilo
'times and places can be speci fi ed if they
are demanded. The parties who have seen
hire in this condition can be'produced.
In a conversation last Winter with Sen
ator Wilson that !gentleman said to me,
"President Gnua drinks too much;" and
concluded with the remark, "I have told
him aci.".. Senator Wilson will -not deny
this fut. Many similar facts can be ad
duced. A gentleman well and-favorably
kn owu. in , Washington,.one,cvho has long
occupied a public position at the national
capital, informs me that on the night
immediately following the lastgreat speech
of Senator Sumner two respectable citi
zens walking together in Jackson Square
encountered President Grant. He was
in a state of intoxication. His hat was
slouched over his eyes; be d isad a lighted
cigar in his month, and was staggering
along, muttering to himself. ' The names
of all these parties are at command.—
Another Washington resident, of unim
peachable veracity, has also informed me,
within the last ten days, that there is good
evidence for stating that the real reason
why President Grant made such a hur
ried exit from the capital,for Long Branch,
whoa so much important public business
demanded his attention, and when sever
al Senators and Representatives were so
bitterly disappointed at not meeting , him,
according to appointments he himself
had -made, was this : That be was so much
under the influence of liquor that'he was
not fit for interviews in the Executive
Mansion. Names of responsible
.parties
are at hand who will substantiate this
statement. A scholar of established re
putation and high moral character writes,
within a short time past, to one of the
most distinguished men of the country
on this 'subject of the drinking habits of
President Grant 'The letter is dated at
Cambridge, Mass., and I have . been per
' witted to copy from it:the !acts that are
well known to many, to _wit: That the

Horace Greeley has persistently advo
cated the abolition of the franking priv
ilege. It is now being vilianously abused
by the - RadiCat national Committee at
Washington.. The law requires that the
names Of members 'of Congress shall be
written, by their "own

various departments at Washington, but
the clerks, who do not amount" to ranch
in , the way of electioneering, are kept
busy at full' pay folding political docu
ments and stamping them with the franks
of Radical members of Congress. The
envelopes are all furnished at the expense
of the people, and that is about the small
est item of plunder wo have seen noticed,
although it has already amounted to
several thousands of , dollars. When for
-ace Greeley was ia Congress he made a
bold assault upon the liatiking
When ho is elected President wp may ex

by any party.
"In the last number of Harper's
IVeekley, Mr. Nast has an illustration
which possesses greater political signifi
mnee than is to be found in most of his
recent productions. Senator Schurz,
frightfully caricatured, is represented seat
ed at piano. Through an open window
is seen an ocean steamer flying the Ger
man flag, ank under the window is the
plaiMy inscribed: 'Steamers to
Germany nearly every day. Passage cheap."
In this picture Henry Wilson, the Know
nothing candidate for Vice-President on
the Grant ticket, is also shown, disguised
as Uncle Sam, in the act of saying to the
uhsta-onished Senator.: .".Look hers,
stranger, there is no umr in this country
compelling you to stay." It "-a illiberal
purposes of Wilson's party had been ca.
ried into effect, Senator Schurz would not
even be entitled to a vote in this country
to day, and the great body of his country
men who have obtained the rights of
Citizenship here, would have no voice of
public officers in Sidi adopted country.
The old spirit of Know,Nothingism erops
out in all its original bigotry in this con
tribution to the Grant arguments of the
campaign, the allusion to the cheap fares
to Germany being an intimation to all.
German voters as welt as to Senator
Schurz, that if they are not satisfied with
Grant they had better clear oiiL and go!
back to Germany, instead of meddling
with matters iu which they have no con
cern.

has hitherto favored the policy of putting
a straight Democratic ticket in the field,
has yielded to the universal anti-Grant
sentiment •of this country, and hoistpd
the Greeley and' Brown flag. In doing

party has shown itself incapable of sav
ing the country by itself, arid a portion
of our former opponents having become
perfectly satisfied that General Grant's
administration, if continued four years
longer, must end in military despotism at
the North as' well as the South, it is pro

Mr. Greeley's nomination, thereto*,
means this, and this only—the overthrow
of military rule, and the reconciliation of
North and South. • • • • *
General Grant must be defeated—his a:my

and save the country from utter ,ruin."
Geneial john A. Dix has been
lately paragraphed by the thidical papers
as a Democrat who has deserted GreeleY; .
but his Democracy was like hitnielf, very

agrA few Administration officers
have concocted an Address to the soldiers
who fought in the late rebellion, urging
them to vote for Gen. Grant and the
military ring.
.lis eulogy of the military
President is fulsome enough to turn any
stomach less strong than that of au os
trich. It says that . "if Grtint had felt
disposed to exercise his power as a person
al govcrnor, . he would have done it while
-"Arty a million of men were in arms
and nba, his command."' And this
wanton insult to the goldiers of America
is sent forth to secure their votes ?
Gen. Grant, while at the head of the or.;
my, taken a single step toward making
himself a military dictator, he would
never have lived to see Washington, unless
it were in chains ass prisoner of the very
soldiers he led to victory. Our soldiers
did not fight for the glorification of Grant
but for the preservation of the Union,
and to represent them as the willing
tools of a lucky General who could have
turned their arms against the liberties of
the country if he had choosen to do so, is
an outrage which every soldier should
rest.
i:gjrThe Ring romans of late have en
deavored to make it appear that the Hon.
Ilk A. Wallace exculpated Gen. Hartranft
for his oinnection with the Evans steal.

Greensburg speech, before their readers:
It is assumed and charged that the
concluding paragraphs of the report of
the Evans committee were intended to

"In expressing our disapprobation of
the loosness of official routine" surely no
one dreamed that laxity in the executive
office where the assets were not filed was
the thing condemned. The assets to the
full valne of a million were in thd office
of the Auditor General, and their passage
there-from into the hands of Evans
without security was "the looseness of
official routine that was in my mind

Know-Nothing WIIsOn.
'ln a recent speech delivered at Lewis
ton, Me., John E. Fitzgerald, of Boston,
a gentleman of the highest probity of
character, spoke as follows of Mr. Wilson,
and proved his words by the production
of a letter written by that gentleman in
1854:
I saw from Mr. Wilson, a few days ago,
a letter written to a gentleman in Wis
consin, in which he states 'that in the
1,200 speeches which he has — delivered the
never uttered 'a Ward in . oppiisition to .
freedom. -LwascurPrised• that Mr. Wil
son should timid niade"such ti statement,
he having beep a,rnember of. the Know
'Nothing oider. I therefore took the
trouble of going to the Boston Public
Library to find the speeches of Mr. Wil
son in the fall of 1854,_ but the Atlas and.
Bee of the last half-of that year, the
Know Nothing organ' of the time, was
gone and could not be found,and nobody
knew where it went either, though I
could get the Atlas and Bee of any other
date. •, However, I looked through the
other numberS, and found a hate" written
to Robert C. MIL, If you remember,
Mr. Wilson was at that time a candidate
for the Senate of the United States, The
Know-Nothing members of the Massaehn
setts legislature thought he was not a
true.blue, and that certain utterances of
his in the Massachusetts Constitutional
Convention had not the true ring of Na
tive-Americanism, hence many of them
opposed him, but Henry Wilson quieted
their feelings by explaining Isis position.
Referring to this action in the Constitn
tionnl Convention, ho says:
" I did not then approve, I do not now
approve, and I never can approve of the
organization of military companies com
posed of men of foreign birth. The
American movement proposes to• protect
ourselves by thoroughly revising the natu
ralization laws, and destroying that polit
ical element of foreign influence hereto
fore so potent in public affairs, and to
place the government of America in the
hands of Americans, who . alone are im
bued with the spirit of her democratic
institutions. Concurring with you in the
opinion that the highest interests of free
dom are identified with the supremacy of
the ideas which underlie this popular
movement, I shall cheerfully labor in
puhlic.and in private for their advance
ment. HENRI. Witcox."
The Grim Humor of Polities.
Tha Pitt/during whiosh our
ports Grant, thus keenly and shrewdly
analyzes the hypocritical appeals which
are mule by the orators and press of its
party :
People not very intimately identified
with politics cannot fail to be amused at
the self deceptions to which very worthy
persons yield. For instance, it does seem
a little ludicrous to hear republicans ex
pressing such great esteem fur Mr. Blanton
_Unclean and his conferes. They are the
sincere Democrat/ ; they are men of prin
ciples and convictions; these Greeley fel
lows are mere political hucksters. Now
if there had been a straight democratic
nomination• at Baltimore, the cry would
have been, "These democratic Bourbons
can never learn. It is the old foe we
have to meet. The party whom we have
defeated again and again has the impert
inence to flaunt its stale creed once more
in the face of the American people." For
years the cry has been, "The democracy
are incapable of reform, they ought to
die." But when they sink their peculiar
tenets and adopt a republican platform
and nominate a republican candidate, the
cry is "Oh ! we have no respect for you
fellows, you are not the genuine time
honoreu democrats—those fine, brave
fellows we have always liked •so much,
Blanton Duncan and bid set are the kind
•we esteem; we always did esteem that
set. We fairly loved them during the
war, they wcre so easy to - heat." All
which is decidedly refreshing and funny
to people who do not train in the party
ranks.
West Virginia Elections.
WHEELING, W. Va, Aug. 24.—Returns
from twenty-one counties give Jacobs
3,800 nmjority, and 2,600 majority against
the new Constitution. It will be several
days before the official vote can be given.
PMINERSBURG, W. Va., Aug. 24.—A
special dispatch to the Chronicle says:—
'rim indications at, P. is. to-day, are that
Jacobs has carried the State by a small
majority. Parkersburg gives 107 majority
for the Constitution.
GREENBRIEII, White Snlpher Springs,
W. Va., Aug.. 24.—Greenbrier county
official majorities—for the Constitution,
751; for Camden, 451; for Mathews, At.
torhey-General, 800. New Richmond
township, Summers county, official ma
jorities—for Constitution, 64; for Jacobs,
7. It is thought Summers county has
gene for Camden and the - Constitution.
A private dispatch from Richmond town
ship, Raleigh county, says: "This town
ship gave majorities against the Constin-
Lion and Camden, but Democratic ma
jorities in everything else." Raleigh
township, Raleigh °Panty, gives 107 ma
jority for Constitution.
WHEELING, W. Va., Aug. 25.—Reports
to the lnlelligencer from thirty-three,
counties, give Jacobs, Independent •Dem
ocrat for Governor within a few votes of
6,000 majority. This is more likely to be
increased than diminished by the twenty.
one counties to be heard from. The dem
ocrats concede Jacobs' election by 5,000
or 6,000 majority. .The fate of the Con
stitution is in douffi. The large majority
against it in this part of •the State is
neutralized by the counties east of the
mountains, which voted heavily for Jacobs
and ratification. In tho thirty-three
counties heard from there is a majority
against the Constitution of about 1,000.
This will more likely be reduced than in
creased the territory yet to be heard
from. This judicial circuit re-elected

Radical Admisdons.
The. following extracts are from an
article in the Atlantic Monthly. That
Magazine is extremely Radical, but the
writer of thiturticle makes some admis
sions which are very important. Referr
ing to Mr. Sumner's speech in the Senate,
he says: _
"It was widely published, though few
of the administration Journals gave it in
full, and it has been generally read, as all
Mr. Sumner's great speechess are—read
with a shock and thrill of paul toO, for
iTien — gaitt; "Cats it' lxi flint 'we' obey tuella
block hen& as thestmords describe?"
• • • -•"+10- •'.•i - • • • •
"This does pot,hinder it from being a
great speech, nor from havirii ultimate
ly a great effect on the Presidential can
'vass. It may not be unanswerable but
but it hastnot been answered. It is no
answer to say, as the newspapers do, that,
Mr. Stanton did mention General Grant's
name in his campaign speeches of 1868;
the fact remains that in 1860 Mr. Stanton
did not think him fit for President. In
deed some of the administration journals
admit that he 'cannot govern this .coun
try,' and say that he lets the people gov
ern it, as they ought. But if this were
so, and the President only a figurehead
to our ship, wo.should have a right,,sure
ly, to demand a more ornamental one.
Nor is it an •answer to praise General
Grunt's military .access, as Mr. Logan
does, for that 3lr. Sumner admits. • •
* Quite as •effeetice would it be to
reply to Mr. Sumner quoting from Scrip
ture, that ,a gift doth blind the eyes of
the wise.' General Gram' is not wise, and
therefore Ma text has no application to
him.
=:Q:1
"lie has taken gifts, he has appointed
his, relatives to he has quarreled
with many persons, he has neglected and
violated laws, he has shown an ingnor
anco of the first principles of statesman
ship, and 'surrounded himself with un
worthy persons."
/The writer discusses the platform and
pointedly says:
"We are told in the first one [resolu
tion] that the Republican party bus held
‘suprernecy' for eleven years, has supressed
rebellion.emancipated four millions slaves,
created and reduced the debt, etc., etc., and
then we are solemly told in the fifth, sixth
and tenth resolutions, that this same party
believes that the civil service ought to be
reformed, land grants to corporations no
loneer made, and the franking privilege
mashed.
it possible, the credulous reader
may ask, that this great party, that could
confer suffrage upon the blacks, has not
yet been able to abolish the franking
privilege ? Are the Republicans that
claim the credit of measures for which
we are payinn• ° by taxation at. the rate or
*150,000,000 a year, still giving away
millions of acres to rail road stock-job
bees ?"

"Governor English of Conuectient, says
Grata Brown was'boozy drunk' in New
Haven."—Buffillo Commercial Advertis
er.
To TTIE EDITOR OP TUE NEW HAVEN
BannEn : My attention has been called
to the above paragraph in the Buffalo
Commercial All,eritser stating that I have
said Gratz Brown was "boozy drunk" at
New Haven. Duty, alike to Governor
Brown and myself, requires that I should
contradict this wanton libel. I saw but
little of Governor Brown while in this
city. His time was for the most part oo
' oupied in attendine. e the college exercises.
4 went to the Newilaven house for the
purpose of hearing him speak in response
to a serenade, where I met g him in the
parlor. He was being introduced to many
of our distinguished citizens. At nine
o'clock bemade the speech, as published,
and remained in conversation with both
ladies and gentlemen until about ten
o'clock, when he retired to his room, since
which time I hare not seen or heard from
him. During this whole period of time
I was pre:seat and introduced strangers to
him, and his time was constantly employ-,
ed in interchangeing the civilities usual
and consequent upon such MN occasion.
Ilad he been intoxicated, as has been
represented, hundreds of our best citizens
had the best of opportunities to linve dis
covered it, and it could never hayo been
left to the clerk or the hotel tb,have been
the solo one to discover it. In all my in
tercourse with Governor Brown I have
never seen him intoxicated, nor have .1
ever seen him drink one &op of spiritu
ous lignqrs—not so much as a glass of
wine. JAMES.E.ENGLIBIL
NEsr RA.VEN, Angnat 10, 1872.
CARD FROM CAPTAIN PECK
To THE EDITOR. OF TILE REGIStEB: My
attention has becu called to a paragraph
in the newspaper to the effect that Gov
ernor Brown, in his recent visit to- .New
Haven, left the New Haven house to come
to the steamer Continental in a state of
intoxication on that evening. I received
Governor Brown on board the steamer,
introduced him to other gentlemen, spent
an honiin conversation with him, when
he retired, and at no time should I have
suspected that he wasin the least under
i
the nfluence of liquor.
