Jrs,
doctored, spiced, and sweetened'to iieese the taste, calk
.'Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restorers," &c., that lead
the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the
Great Blood Purifier and a Lire-giving Principle, a Per.
feet Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying
off all poisonous matter, and restoring the blood to a
healthy pondition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating
both mind and body. They . are easy of administration,
prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and
reliable in all forms of disease.
No Person can take these Bitters accord.
log to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their
bones are not destroyed by mineral poison smother means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache ' Pain
in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizzi
ness, Sour Eructations orthe Stomach, Bad Taste in the
Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, In
flammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the off
springs of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no
equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
For Female Complaints, in young or old, mar-
ried or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn
of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence
that a marked improvement is soon perceptible.
For Intlanmintory and Chronic Risen-.
matisco and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers,Diseases of the Blood,
Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most
successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Org.s.
They are a Gentle Purgative as well as
a Tonic, possessing also the peculisr merit of acting . as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
on the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples ' Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ringworms, Scald•llead,Sore Eyes. Erysipelas,
Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and
Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature...
literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short
time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such
cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative
effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you
find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,
Eruptions, or s Sores ; cleanse it when you find it ob.
structed and sluggish in the veins : cleanse it when it is
foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood
pure, and the health of the system will follow.
Grateful thousands proclaim VINRGAR MT-
Tens the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained
thessinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually . destroyed
.d removed. Says a distinguished physiologist There
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earths whose
body is exempt from tine presence of worms. It is not
upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist,
but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that
breed these living monsters of disease. No system of
Medicine, no verinifuges, no anthelminitics, will free the
system from worms like these Bitten. •
Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged in
Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters,
Goldbeaters, and Miners,
as they advance in life, will be
subject to paralysis of the Dowels. To guard against
this take a dose of WALKRIt'S VINEGAR BITTERS once
or twice a week, as a Preventive.
Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent
Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our
great rivers throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, hlissouri, Illinois, Ten
nessee, Cuinberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos,
Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,Roanoke,
James, and many others, with their vast tributaries,
throughout our entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual
heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by exten
sive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other
abdominal viscera. There are always more or less ob
structions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state of
the stomach, and peat torpor of the bowels, being
-clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat
ment, a purgative. exerting a powerful influence upon
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKRR'S
VIRIWAR BITTISRS, 15 they mill !Tardily rettlOye lbe

MAJ. GEN. JOHN F. HARTRANFT
His Military Services and
Civic Capacity.
A CAREER OF FAME AND A RECORD OF DONOR
Our candidate for Governor is too well
known to require at this Into day any extend•
ecrnewspapec mention. !rho name of Gene
ral Hartranft le familiar to the whole country,
and in Pennsylvania it has long since become
a household word.
- - -
As a slight recogoltion of his services during
the rebellion he was elected in 1885 and in.
1808 by his fellow citizens Auditor General of
the State, a position of great responsibility and
one requiring the excercise of a methodical
mind like that possessed by General Hartranft.
Having served the public in a civil capacity as
faithfully and fearlessly as he served his coun
try on the field cf battle,
his fellow citizens
have a third time placed him in nomination,
this time for the highest and most responsible
position within their gilt.
In 1865 there was issued a small pamphlet
containing a brief record of the public servi
ces of General Hartranft. The facts therein
set forth constitute a correct biographical
sketch of our candidates, and wo here repro
duce them, abridged, in order that our citi
Zeus may he more easily keep green In their
memories the services of 'ono of Pennsylva
nia's favgrlte sons.
Major General John Frederick Hartranft is
a native of New Hanover township, Mont
gomery county, Pennsylvania, and was horn
December 10, 1830. He graduated at Union
.college, at Schenectady, New York, in 1853,
and was employed as a civil engineer for some
time. He Resisted In running the line of the
Mauch Chunk and White Haven railroad,
which has since been constructed, and had
charge of the working party who surveyed the
'route of the proposed railroad from Chestnut
Hill to Doyleatown or New Hope.
Having pursued the study of the law the
necessary length of time, he was admitted to
practice at the bar of Montgomery county in
fall of 1860.
Ile was elected colonel of the First reel
ment of Montgomery county militia, In 1859,
having previously been Lieutenant Colonel
and Captain.
The call to arms in April 1861, when after
Sumter was fired President Lincoln issued his
first appeal to the heroism and devotion of tha
people, found Colonel Hartranft, a Democrat,
attached to the political principles in which he
had been reared. But It found him none the
less a patriot. From the day in which lie
took arms In defense of his country, he laid
aside all ideas and theory of 'partizanship, and
became alone 'a heroic soldier, striving always
to do his duty, wherever and whenever that
might call him to action.
He lost no time In tendering the services of
his militia regiment to Governor Curtin, hav
ing visited Harrisburg for that purpose, on
Tuesday, the 16th day of April, 1861. It was
as promptly accepted, and became the .Fourth
regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. Ren
dezvousing at Harrisburg on the 20th, It was
speedily armed, equipped, and sent forward to
Perryvilie,and thence to Annapolis,and finally
to Washington.
The term of service of hie regiment had ex-
pired, and it was on the homeward march
when the battle of Bull Run took place. The
forward movement of our army to meet the
rebels in that first grand encounter attracted
Hartranft's attention, and he determined not
to ob left behind, when, for the first time, his
country needed his services in actual battle.
He offered himself to General McDowell to
sere in any capacity in the approaching strug
gle where he could be useful. The General
remarked that it was scarcely " Oegular" to
do so, but that his appreciation of Colonel
Hartranft's noble condlict was so high that he
would assign him to duty on the stuff of Colo
nel Franklin, who commanded the brigade
to which the Fourth Regiment had been at
cached. Colonel Franklin, in his report,spoke
of his services with warm words of commen
dation, and General McDowell expressed re
gret afterwards that lie had not done justice
to his valuable exertions by especially men
tioning him in his official report of the battle.
General Cameron, then Secretary of War,
also referred with high encomiums to his con
duct on this occasion, and it was a gallant
commencement of a grand career. Colonel
Hartranft had no intention of retiring from
the service at the close of his three months'
campaign. A. week before the battle of Bull
Run he had applied to and obtained permission
from tho War Department, to recruit a three
years' regiment. He lost no time in commenc
ing its organization, and on the 10th of No
vember it was mustered Into service at Har
risburg, with Hartranft as Colonel, and be
came the Fifty-first Regiment of Pennsylva
nia Volunteers.
This regiment was assigned to Burnside's
army, which was then organizing at Annapo-
Ps, for service on the coast of North Carolina.
It became a part of beno's brigade, and parti
cipated in the whole of Burnside's campaign.
The expedition left Annapolis early in Janu•
ary, 1862, and on the 10th of the following
month Colonel Hartranft led his men up
through a swamp which the rebels had sup.
'posed impassible, to storm the rebel works on
Roanoke Island. The rebels were nearly all
captured, and the effects of so signal a success
In the Initial contest of the campaign, were
excellent.
The rebel fortificailone at Newberg were
tacked and carried on the 15th of March,, and
here again Colonel Hartranft bore a conspi•
cuous part. The contest was a severe one,
and loss on both sides serious. The army of
Buroside's remained at Newborn until the
conclusion of M'Clelian's d isastroOs campaign
on the Peninsula, when a large portion of it
was shipped to Newport News, to Join the
Army of the Potomac.
Early iu August the force at Newport News
was transferred by transports to Acquia Creek
and thence by railroad to Fredericksburg,
where Reno's division arrived on the 4th of
that month. Here they Joined the army un
der Pope, and thence participated in all the
battles and skirmishes of that unfortunate
campaign. From Fredericksburg to the old
battle ground of Bull Run the movement was
almost a continuous struggle, and when the
second battle on that renowned locality took
place Colonel Hartranft found himself posted
on almost the same ground that lie had fought
upon in July of thi preceding year. His regi
ment was posted on the left of the Centreville
road, protecting Graham's battery, till the
retreat commenced. When the brigade left
the field it was divided, ono regiment only
marching with General Ferero, while the
other two were ordered to remain under com
mand of Colonel Hartranft until all the artil
lery was withdrawn. On this, aeon the for
mer occasion, when everything was confusion,
he remained cool, collected and self reliant.
Again at Chantilly, Hartranft met the ene
my, and again added new laurels to his fame.
But these struggles did not overcome the ene
my. Tired, foot-sore and exhausted, as our
men were, they took up the line of march once
more, on the 7th of September, and Joined
the march of the grand army again, under
M'Clellan, up through Maryland to South
Mountain and Antietam. The engagement
at South Mountain, though apparently but a
prelude to the greater contest at Antietam,
was distinct in its character. It was fought
on Sunday, September 14th, and its result
transferred the grand battle from the little
mountain pass to the banks of the stream be
yond.
Colonel Hartranft commanded his regiment
as usual, leading it to the attack up the moun
tain side with his accustomed bravery. That
night our men occupied the important position
they had carried, sleeping on the summit of
the bill, whence the ground sloped away to
the valley of the Antietam.
Two days occupied in short movements,
and the morning of Wednesday, September
17, found our army confronting the Rebel host.
Soon the intrepid Hooker, on the right, was
engaged. On the left Burnside awaited orders
till nearly noon, and then was directed to
storm the enemy's position on the opposite
bank of the stream, crossing his men over the
narrow stone bridge that spanned the creek
In his front. The position occupied by the
Rebels was one of wonderful natural strength.
The road on the east bank wound up near the
stream for some distance before reaching the I
bridge, and troops marching on It at this
point were exposed to a terrible flank fire. .On
crossing the bridge it met an abrupt steep
bank, and deflected nearly at right angles, up
and down the west bank. The bridge was,
therefore, entirely commanded by the Rebels.
They bad had ample time for preparation, and
their artillery was posted to sweep the cause
way from end to end, while the riflemen,
screaned from view behind trees and rocks,
or in web prepared rifle pits, waited the at
tack, to open a most deatructlvo fire. Taus
posted were the enemy. But the order came
to "Take the Bridge." At about 11 o'clock
Burnside ordered an attack. First two rest-
-
moats essayed tcheross this bridge of death.
They struggled forward a little distance, ter
rlblp cut up by the fire in flank, paused, stag
gered end came back. It seemed impossible
that mortal men could cross by so terrible a
path and live. Again the attempt was made
by fresh troops, and again they were repulse'
by the terrible fire. Still the bridge must be
taken.
Then General Ferero rode up to Hartranft,
.who lay with his regiment behind a knoll, a
shint distance from the stieam, and said to
him, " General Burnside directs you to take
your regiment and cross the bridge." Bart
ranft never questioned the orders of his su
periors. It was his rule always to obey.
Amid the cheers of his own men, and the
shouts of all those who witnessed the attempt,
he led forward his regiment, alone and un
gupported. Avoiding the unsheltered road
below the bridge, they reached the wing walls
of the structure, and lay a lew moments skir
mishing, holding the ground thus gained. A
regiment was hurried up to support them,
but the situation was a terrible one. On all
sides men and officers were falling. Hart.
ranft led his men into the charge, and they
dashed gallantly into the storm of leaden
hail. The little stream of heroes were fright
fully thinned as the struggled forward, but
by words and example Hartranft urged them
'on, and—the bridge was curried.
That night as the men lay on the ground
they had won, Hartrantt went through - the
regiment and took the names of all those who
had followed him through the terrible path
across the bridge. Of five hundred who were
in the ranks in the morning, scarcely two
hundred were on the hill that night—most of
that fearful deficiency were killed or wounded.
At FredericksbUrg, when Burnside made
his bold and nobly conceived, but disastrous
attack In December, Colonel Hartrauft once
more led his regiment into battle.
That there was no child's play where he
fought at Fredericksburg, will be testified by
the survivors of that terrible fight.
The regiment left' Acquin Creek on the
26th of March,, and were conveyed by trans
ports to Baltimore. Thence the railroad ar•
teries of our gigantic system, carried them to
Cincinnati, where they crossed the Ohio. and
entered on a brief campaign In central Ken-
tucky.
In April General Ferero was relieved of his
command of the brigade, and the commander
of the division being absent, Colonel Hart
ranft succeeded to the charge of that until
June, when Ferero returned, '
Early in June the corps once more set out
on an arduous campaign. Leaving Kentucky
by Railroad to Cairo, and thence passed
down the Mississippi on steamers to Sher
mac's Landing, opposite Vicksburg, where
they landed on the 14th of June. In a day
or two they went up the Yazoo river to
Haines' Bluff, thence across the country,
operating principally in the rear of Vicks
burg, to cover Grant's retreat. The campaign
was brief but very severe. The marchers were
frightful. Amid these severities, Colonel
Hartranft was prostrated by a sun-stroke, as
were many of his men. Bitt he remained on
duty, having for about a week the command
of the brigade. On the Fourth of July, after
the glorious consummation of Grant's opera
tion, the surrender of Pemberton and his gar
rison, the movement againlit Johnson at Jack
son commenced, and on the 10th skirmishing
began between the forces. Hartranft had been
riding in an ambulance on the march, but
when the first shots of the action were fired,
be mounted hie horse and took command as
usual, though really unfit to he anywhere but
in the hospital.
Jackson was captured after eight days'
operations, and the campaign in the Missis
sippi was at an end.
On the 9th of August the corps left Vicks
burg for Cairn,and came by Railroad from
that City to Cincinnati. At that city, Colo
nel Hartranft, still very much prostrated by
his attack in Mississippi, received a sick leave
and returned to his home in Norristown, to
recover his shattered energies. Having par •
tially recovered, he left again for the field of
action in October, and on the 10th of Novem
ber found his regiment at Lenoir, Tennessee,
where they were just about being attacked by
Longstreet.
The arrival of thelr. Colonel at Lenoir was
hailed by delight by his men, for they desired
his cool head andundaunted heart to lead
them in b Atte. fle at once, in the absence of
senior officers, took command of the division,
and led during the whole of the battles con
stituting the defence of Knoxville.
Burnside knew the staunch qualities of the
Lieutenant he had to support him In keeping
Longstreet at bay. The skirmish at Lenoir
commenced the campaign.
Hartranft was ordered to move forward to
Campbell's Station and hold the roads which
cross there. He marched promptly in the
night with his division and some artillery and
cavalry, and occupied the important and stra
tegic point, and at nine o'clock In the morn•
log the action commenced, continuing for
two hours, at the end of which time the die
comfitted rebels retired with terrible loss.
Hartranft during the engagement had four
brigades under him. It was a battle fought
against terrible odds, for the Union army
numbered only six thousand men, while Long
street led at least three times that number.
Burnside's only effort was to hold out, and
save Knoxville tilfreinforcements could reach
him. •
The country never needed men worse than
she did in the great campaign of 1864, and In
the winter previous the Government with ad
mirable judgment and forethought began to
make preparations for the contingency by of
fering inducements to the three years'l regi
ments, whose time would expire in the sum
mer and fall, to reenlist for .another term.
Many regiments did so, and among them Col.
Hartranft's Fifty-first P. V., which since the
siege of Knoxville, had been stationed in the
vicinity, principally at Blaln's cross roads.
Here on the 4th of January they were muster
ed, and all but a few men agreed to re-enlist.
Tito "veterans" received the usual furlough,
and the regiment was ordered home to re
cruit.
The furlough havingexpired, ColonellIart• '
ranft's regiment rendezvoused at Harrisburg,
on the 10th of March, and remained at Canto
Curtin under charge of Lieut. Col. Schell, till
the 10th, when they were sent forward to
Annapolis.
Here the soldiers of Burnside's command
were once more assembling to embark, as was
supposed, on some new expedition to the
South.
Cannel Hartranft was made Acting • Bd.
gader General, and placed in command of the
post. The remainder of March and most of
April was spent in organizing, drilling; and
disciplining the new men, embracing not only
the new organizations, but the recruits In the
Old once.
Soon after Colonel Hartranft received his
long merited promotion as Brigadier of Vol
unteers. He fairly earned it at Antletam,and
nothing but his modest determination not to
urge his own claims, had prevented him from
receiving It long before.
He was placed in command of the First
Brigade, Third Division, Ninth Army Corps,
consisting of six regiments—the 2d and Bth
Michigan and 51st Pennsylvania, all veteran
regiments and the 17th Michigan. His com
mission as Brigadier dated from may 12th,
1864.
On the 28d of April Burnside's fordo moved
from Annapolis, marching across the country
to Washington and Alexandria, where they
encamped on the 25th. They became a por
tion of Grant's army, actually in the field,
about the 28th.
With Hartranft active operations begun
on the 4th of May, when he broke camp near
Warrenton Junction, and took up the lino of
march, crossing the Rappahannock and en
camping a mile beyond. The following day
he crossed Rapidan at Germania Ford, and
hurried forward with Burnside's forces to
the support of the troops who had been all
day engaged at the Wilderness..
The next day—Friday, May 6th—a move
ment was made to the left, and Hartranft's
.Brigade was placed to the left of the Fifth
corps.
Further still to the left was the Second
corps. Here the enemy was soon encountered
and Burnside ordered Hartranft to carry the
enemy's works in his front. They were very
strong, but the rebels were in force. The ad
vance was made at ten o'clock in fine style,
and the works were carried and held for a
moment, but a sudden panic seized the lef t
of the line, and the whole of the brigade fell
back.
On the 9th, Hartman was. again on the
move with his corps. On' the 12th, at day
light,. our troops advanced beyond the river
Ny, and here ensued a desperate engagment
in the coarse of the day, The enemy. opened
on our troops with artillery, but two guns of
Captain Twitchell's battery soon silenced
them. Pushing resolutely forward, the ene
my gave way, and Hartranft won two small
hills where they had attempted to stand. At
2 o'clock orders were given to attack, and
our troops moved gallantly forward. Then
ensued a most desperate hand to band fight.
The let of June found our troops near cold
Harbor, and on that and the 2d there was as-
vere skirmishing with the enemy. On the
following day thirtranft withdrew toward the
loft, and formed line near Bethsana church,
and once more engaged the enemy. Agreea
bly to orders, he assaulted the enemy In his
front, and retook a line which had been lost
by our army the preceding evening. The
enemy fled precipitately from their position,
and Hartranft's men occupied the rifle pits:
The successive movements of the left flanks
brought the brigade of Hartranft's across the
Chickabominy on the 14th of June, and• on
the 11th the James was also crossed. On the
17th and 18th his command engaged the 'ene
my with severe loss, the contest on the latter
day, being at Norfolk and Petersburg railroad
at both places General Hartranft exposed him
self with his usual gallantry.,
In the unfortunate action at Petersburg, on
the 10th of July, after the explosion of the
mine, Hartranft again took part.
During his movements urrm the Weldon
railroad, by General Grant on the 10114 20th
and 21st of August, General Hartranft com
manded his brigade ,and did good service in
the three days' fighting there.
In the engagement near Poplar Springs
church, commencing on the 80th of Septem
ber, and ending on the 811, of the following
month, General Hartranft had command of
the Second brigade Instead of the First, and
participated.
At Hatcher's Hun, on the 27th nod 28th of
October,General Hartranft commanded the
First Brigade of the First Division, Ninth
Corps, which contained several of the old reg
iments previously finder him lu the Third
Late In March the nation was walling pa
tiently for news of the surrender or capture of
11,1chmond,•when It was startled by the re
port that Lee had.assumed the offensive and
had boldly attacked our lines., A few hours
later and the report was confirmed, but with
the cheering and encouraging addition that
our troops had most brilliantly repulsed the
attack, in oue of the hardest engagmepts, for
its duration, of the war; that this magnificent
feat had been performed by a division com
posed of new regiments only recently recruit
ed from Pennsylvania, but discipllned,trained
and led by a Pencsylvanin. General, now, for
his skill and courage, named " THE HERO OF
Four STEADiiAN.
General Hammitt at this time was in com
mand of the 3d division of the 9th corpi. It
was composed as just stated, of Piintisyl van ia
regiments. The 200th, 205th, 207th, 2013th,
209th, 211th ' raised for one year, alai last
sent into the field, to organize and diseiplino
them no fitter man could have been sch vied
than Hartranft and his choice for the position
was most appropriate and for innate.
At Port Steadman llartrantt won ilk bre
vet of Major Geneal, ❑n honor wel! deserved.
In the anal grand assault on Petersburg,
when the "confederacy, of traitors crumbled
away at last, like a rotten shell, he bore once
more a distinguished part. Gen Hartranft
and.his command saw nu more lighting dur
ing the campaign.

From the N. 1. Herald of Put IVedne•llly
Tho meeting announcod for this evening at
the Cooper Institute will attract attention
apart from its political signiticante. We have
not much faith In meetings, and we shonld
fear for the success of General Grant as a can
didate for the• Presidency if It needed these
adventitious circumstances to strengthen his
fame. At the same time the list of risime
signed to this call will make a striking im
pression upon the people when compared with
the list appended to the democratic fleeting
which welcomed Carl Scluirz and Lyman
Trumbull'the other evening. We do not see
Charles A. Lamont, B. F. Mudgett, Peter
Schnitzler, Robert Murry, Sigisnuild Kauf
mann, Simon Stevens, Sixt Ludwig Knapif,
Lorenz Homier, E. Krackowizer, and the
host of distinguishad Oriental and Schivonlc
fellow citizens who came to light as Colonel
Conk ling's "Vice Presidents." And we do
see Peter Cooper, William 11. Vanderbilt,
L. P. Morton. H. B. Clain, E. D. Morgan,
W. E. Dodge. John A. Stewart, Paran Stevens
Thulow Weed, David Dews, Henry Clewe,
William Orton, C. P. Huntington and a host
of other names, every one of whom represen t
something of that spirit of New York which
contributed so largely to her glory and wealth.
These gentlemen are not holders of place.
They have no connection with the intpigues
and ambitions of office. It is to them as to
the Herald—of no concern so far as they are
personally concernedw hether Grant or Greeley
reigns; but it is oC the utmost consequence, as
citizens of the United States and so largely
Interested in the wealth of the metropolis, that
there should be a President whose administra
tion will bring peace find stability to the
conntry.
When men of this class make political ad
ventures they aro entitled to more than usual
consideration. We do not believe inherently
that the opinions of one cluster of citizens are
of so much more value than the opinions of
another ; for in a country of universal suffrage
all men are alike before the polls, and the In
terests of a hundred laboring men on the Park
are to be considered as carefully as those of
a hundred merchants on Wall street. and it'
Frackowizer and Schnizler and Sigismund
Kaufmann and Robert Mnrry and Lorenz.
Bommer aro dissatisfied with Grant ; and if,
when the list of "dissatisfied" is made up
and printed, it reads like a transcript from the
Grand Jury's list of indictments for whiskey
frauds, it would be unfair to make criticisms,
as we must admit that they have every right
to express their opinions. We have no doubt
there are people in New York, and undoubt
edly in Hoboken, who wil feel impressed by
the emotions of Krackowizer and Schnitzler
and their friends and who will share their an
ger against Grant. Aud we must be very
careful not to underrate the power of this feel
ing, or the political value of those world-re
nowned and very honorable gentlemen. Itt
our politics a hair will frequently turn the bal.
auce, We saw how a fraction defeated Henry
Clay in 1844. Wo remember that one vote
made Marcus Morton Governor of Massachu
setts, and no ono Is wise to despise the day of
email men and small things. For this reason
we especially urge thut,in a due consideration
of the chances of the canvass, Krackowizer,
Sehnitzler, Lorenz Hammer, Robert Murry
and those who go with them shall not be over
looked 'or forgotten. They are opposed to
Grant. They want reform. They denounce
nepotism, ostracism and every .`ism" but
egotism. They have no confidence in Tom
Murphy, of all living men. They worship
Horace Greeley, or will until he resumes his
advocacy of the Temperance law, and they
see a Ileavep-appointed leader a Muses to
lead them to the promsed land, in the iron
visage of George Gilks. The rights we con
cede so generously to these gentlemen we con
code also to Mrs. Woodhull, 5t1911.11 B. An•
thony, Mrs. Stanton, Anna E. Dickinson Eked
their garrulous followers. Miss Dickinson is
pronounced against Grant and makes better
speeches than Schurz. Mrs. Woodhull like
Mr. Greeley and Mr. Trumbull, not only op
poses Grant, but is herself a candidate against
him. Whether Krackowizer, or Schnitzier,
or Kaufmann, or Hemmer are candidates or
not we have not heard, for we are afraid we
are bebludhand in our statistics of aspirants for
the Presidency.
While on one side we have Woodhull, Anna
Dickinson, Krackowizer, Bommer, Robert
Murray, Carl Schurz, Horace Greeley, B. F.
Mudgett and the representatives of all the Sclu
vonic and Oriental races combined, not to
speak of Joshua F. Bailey and other gentlemen
of equal fame, who were prevented by thee m •
stances from attending the Greeley-Krackow l
ux demonstration in person ; on the other side
we have the people who believe in Grant. The
press is divided in the same manner. A num
ber of fugitive and class newspapers, of under•
tain and movablO circulation, oppose Grant ;
but the representative journals, headed by the'
Herald, support him. Far be It from us to
enter into the petty quarrels by which we learn
from one newspaper why the editor of another
is a worthless or disappointed man. W e know
and care nothing about these matters, and do
not feel that there is any relevancy in the die
cusaions. But we do see that the representa
tive newspapers, the thoroughly independent
press, support Grant. In the daily press we
have the Herald, of which it Is not for us to
speak, as the common consent of mankind re
gards it as the first journal of America and
among the first journals of the world. In the
weekly press we have Harper's Weekly, the
Christian Union and the Independent, all hav
ing very large circulation and represent
ing the weekly press. Against Grant we
have the Nation and the. Spirit of the Times—
one a literary, the other a sporting journal,
each addressing an influential class, but a
class that does not make or unmake Presidents.
Beyond the strong and resolute opinions of
the able men who edit these two journals
their influence Is limited, and in a tints like
this II is not the men who write so much as
the men who read that makes public opinion.
The Herald, with its half million readers,
sweeps over the country like a sea-wave, buoy
ing up or engulfing, as the case may be, and
one expression in its columns will do more to

crystallize and atrengen public opinion than
he combined efforts of the party and class
newspapers ten times told.
This, to our mind, is the impregnable
strength of Grant. The men who sign this
call and who are to assemble this evening aro
the•first men In the United States. In wealth,
power, enterprise, genius for business and af
fairs, in all that contributes to honorable cit
izenship and the welfare of the republic, they
have no superiors, While we make no merit
of this, or in any way mean to encourage
what might he called • caste in-politics. the
lesson that all men will learn is that the heart
of the nation beats for Grant • find as the heart
beats the body lives. The breeley-ffracko
wizer meeting was stupendous. The Cincin
nati movement is powerful. The men who
head it are able and accomplished men. Wo
expect to see It larger still. It will be man
aged with consummate political skill, as we
have no more crafty men In politics than some
of its leaders. But we saw Tammany en
throned and powerful, and managed with ex
traordinary skill. The men who arose in re •
hellion against Tammany were the men who
sign this call, the same class of men in all re
spects. They opposed Tammany not as to
political measure. but as a duty. They sup
port Grant fur the same reason. They hearken
to the noise of the politicians, the clamors
about relatives and "presents," and enjoy the
humor and anger of the canvass, just as the
tired merchant may throw up his counting
house window and give a few minutes and a
handful of pennies to a troupe of wandering
negro minstrels. But when the time comes
to vole and net, and to spend money for the
honest purposes of the canvass, they look
gravely at the situation, and speak as well
as vote as honest, impartial and satisfied
men. They see. that Ulysses S. Grant has
been pre-eminently the President of the
people ; that lie bee kept every pledge mane
to his party ; that he has avoided tempt
mg and embarrassing complications ; that lie
has ever studied and advanced the Misfiles in
terests of the country ; that he has paid the
dubtand strengthened the credit, and that if
he were to retire to-morrow he would leave
the country better, happier and more prosper
ous because of his administration. As Mr.
Greeley said a year ago, before his eyes were
dazzled by the unhealthy light of Presidential
ambition:—" Ile misui.derstauds human na
lute who fancies that these facts will not tell
in a Presidential contest." These are the
i fame, and the only facts that will tell. We
shall have an angry canvass. These will be
nil kinds of phenomena, quarrels in Pennsyl
vania and Indiana; , intrigues and strifes to
interest and amuse us, and in the eyes of the
politicians a close and uncertain contest. Mr.
Sumner will pimbably be nominated In Cincin
nati, with Mr. Greeley as his colleague, and we
shall have au emasculated platform like that
which was created when Bell and Everett ran
against Lincoln and Hamlin. There will be
transformations and changes, and rearranging
of lines, concessions and surrenders. But
when the electoral votes are counted it will be
found that the great, earnest, honest heart of
the country has registered the decree that
Ulysses S. Grant shall be President of the
United States fur four more years, and that
as many democr Is as repuhlicanscontributed
to that auspicious and happy result.
MONSTER DEMONSTRATION
Tlu, Great Grant Meeting. In NOW York
Last Wednesday.
The meeting in New York last evening In
favor of the renomination of Grant was one
of the largest and most Imposing demonstra
tions ever held in the city of New York. A.
platform was erected outside for the accommo
dation of those who could net get inside the
building, and there was a grand display of
fireworks, calciums, transparencies, music,etc.
W. E. Dodge presided, and the speakers
were Senator Morton, of Indiana ; Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts, and B. P. Butler.
Addresses were also made by Mr. OFfdyke,Mr.
J. W. Beekman, Mr. Isaac W. Bailey and
lion. J. H. Rainey, colored member of Con
gress from South Carolina.
Its importance as a public demonstration
was seen in the earnestness and intelligence
marking the whole proceedings, and in the
emphasis and good, patriotic
.sense of the
speeches delivered. In these elements it was
in striking contrast with the Cincinnati meet
ing of the other night. At the meeting last
evening there was manly straightforwardness
of speech—a series of speeches whose basis of
argument was the plain logic of events of the
past three years of President Grant's adminis
tration.
. .
The Herald says it was an assemblage of
largely representing the intelligence, the capi
tal, the business' interests and the substantial
citizens of New York • that they fully com
prehend the good work fur the city end the
country achieved by General Grant as the
head of the national government, and that the
speeches and the resolutions- of the meeting
speak the common judgment of the country,
as tar as made known In the recent State elec
tions and in the conventions of the republican
party. A. meeting such as this, in advance of
the nomination of the Presidential candidate
of either of our two great political parties, Is
an extraordinary event; but when revolution
ary disturbances aro afoot our solid and re
sponsible citizens are quick to take the alarm
and come to the front, in the expressirin of
their judgement on public men and public af
fairs.
Such were the elements and the spirit and
such the proceedings of this administration
meeting. It was an assemblage of the solid
men of the metropolis, its capitalists, mer
chants, manufactures, mechanical professional
and working men generally who are satisfied
with General Grant's adualnistraVon.
The Libernl'• Convention
If the Cincinnati " Liberal" movement
means a liberal use of the names of persons
having no sympathy with the opposition to the
reelection of President Grant, then it is likely
to be something of a success. The Tribune of
the lath contains a letter from its Philadelphia
correspondent giving the names of a number
of persons, who, the writer says, will go to the
Cincinnati Convention. Among the number
Is that of ex. Speaker of the Senate, Chas. B.
Stinson, of this Borough.
The ollowing note, however, will explain
his views in relation to the matter, which our
liberal friends are at liberty to use :
NORIIISTOWN, April 16, 1872.
AL B. Wills—Dour 131 r : Replying briefly to your
note of title. morning, I would say that the use of
my name In connection with the Cincinnati "Lib
eral" Convention, whilst it is a matter probably of
but little public importance, was without my
knowledge, nod has not my sanction. lam against
any movement having for its object the defeat of
the re-election of President Grant.
Very truly, yours, CHAS. H. STINSON.
Most of the persons mentioned by this cor
respondent, as likely to go to Cincinnati, have
probably no Idea of so doing.
" What we want to arrive at is the motive
which induces fools to send false intelligence
to the nowspapers." This sentence from the
Tribune of the date above named can very
reasonably bo submitted to Its Philadelphia
correspondent.—Norristown Herald.
A Tunnel to Connect Englnnd nod Frnnce
The plan of Cutting a submarine tunnel be
tween France and England is assuming a
practical form. About ono hundred and fifty
thousand dollars are to be first expended in
an experimental drift-way ; one-third of this
amount has been subscribed, several leading
noblemen in England taking especial interest
in the enterprise and leading the subscriptions.
An English deputation recently welted upon
M. Tillers to obtain the support of the French
government In this undertaking. He replied
Met France could vote no capital, but that
every facility and encouragement which the
government could offer would be freely ex
tended. No material aid was looked for,under
the clrcumatances, and the English men in
terested seem to have been satisfied by the
position assumed by the French. President.
The work, when once actually begun, will
probably be continued with great rapidity. It
is curious, that while the traffic between the
two countries justifies capitalists In such nn
immense undertaking as this, such miserable
tub-like boats should monopolize the ferriage
between Dover and Calais. This may be for
the beat ; for if such magnificent steamers as
float upon the Hudson river or Long Island
sound wore plying between the two points,
the demand for a tunnel would be much less
emphatic than It now Is.
The Legislative Conference Committee have
agreed on the City Charter. The Vanderbilt
Underground Railroad bill has been read a
third time In the Senate. • The Impeachment
charges against Judges Cardozo and Barnard
have been made the special order for Friday
lu the Assembly.
The Florida Gubernatorial troubles continue.
Governor Reed has asked the State Supreme
Court for an opinion, and the actin Governor
has called a Special session of the Legislature.
