WEBTIIAMPTON, July 27, 1872
DEAR Stn: Your letter of the 13Ih
asking my aid to promo a speaker fora Gree
ley meeting nt Hancock, was sent to me while
I was in New-Ensland, and I have been un
able until now to acknowledge its reception.
I do not understand on what ground you con
eider yourself authorized to address such a re
quest to me. • If you had been familiar with
are course of my public life, and equally so
with Mr. Greeley's, you could not have sup
posed me capable of advocating his election
to the office of President of the United Stales
without imputing to me an utter abandonment
of all political prriple. I am opposed to Mr.
Greeley :
1. Because I believe him to he as "unstable
as water," perpetually flnundering (to carry
out the Scriptural figure) amid the surges of
opinion, and deficient in all the requisites
essential to a firm, steady, and consistent ad
ministration of the Government.
2. Because he has usually been found among
the most extreme ultraists on the great clues
thins of political and social duty, which have
been brought under public discussion during
the last quartet of a century. •
3. Because he has been the advocate (and
in this instance persistently), of that most tin•
just and unequal commercial system, which
is destroying our mercantile and shipping in
Wrests and heaping tip enormous accumula•
, tons of wealth in the hands of thu protected
classes to the oppression and Impoverishment
of all others.
4. Because he is associated, in relations
more or less intimate, with some of the chief
plunderers of the City of New 'Yolk, justly
wai ranting the apprehension that through his
complicity or his lactic disposition, the same
system of fraud and corruption which has dis
r let d the municipal government of this city
rimy be carried to more infamous extremes iu
the administration of the Federal Government ;
and,
I=
The coalition, which has been formed to
promote his election, is one (f the most ex
traordinary in the history of parties, in re
spect,,lioth to the disenrdant elements ,it em
braces and the surrender of principles it in.
v,itees.
The Cincinnati Convention, called to bring
before the pe-ple important measures of re
form, nominated him, greatly to the surprise
01 the whole country, knowintr, him, in regard
to one or tho9e meaml6 :1, to be an implacable
opponent—nominated him, too, against the
wishes and judgment of the chief promoters
(lithe inovemenr, who accepted hint either
with an avowed or an ill eoneeai•d discuss
which would be fur more creditable to their
melings if the act of acceptance were hot ut
terly irreconcilable with their principles. The
Di iniiermic Convention at Baltimore indorsed
and commended him to the support: or their
party—not. as the exponent of any principles
they have pr-diessed or any measures they have
advocated, but as a known and bitteropponent
of both—the man who,perhaps,of all others,has
been the most malignant tti , sitilant of the Dc•
mocracy, impeaching ils integrity, traducing
its motives, and villiiying ils characti r. The
adoption of such II 1111111 as their candidate for
the ctiief Magi,t racy of the enion is the must
conspicuous aliandonmeni or political ptiuci
Ales known to party contests. It ',imams to
be seen wlt titer the great body of the I)iimo
cralic voters, and the true friends of It Horn],
can be made parties to this unscrupulous coa
lition between political leaders.
GRANT SAFER. TITAN GREELEY.
That Gem Grant has committed mistaken
his most sincere friends admit. But if his er
ro•s had been four-fold more numerous, he
would in my °opinion, be a notch safer Chief
Ma2istrate than Mr. Greeley. He has, in that
capacity, done much for which he deserves
the thank °Ube country. Above all, be has
kept it at pence, notwithstanding the etforis
of sensation journals and popularity-seeking
politicians to provoke hostilities 'with Sonia
on the question of Calm, and with Greet Brii.
sin on the Alabama Claims and fisheries. If,
regardless of these titles ;to the approval of
his fellow citizens, and of his invaluable ser
vices during the. Into civil war, they should
set Into aside for Mr. Greeley ; if the. latter, a
mere erratic politician, untried in any impor.
tent public trust, should be elevated to the
Chief Magistracy of the Union—a Union
which would not now exist if his counsels
had been followed—and if the man, who, of
all others, has done the most to preserve it
should he discarded for a successor so ill goal
Hied and so unscrupulously nominated and
sustained, the example would be most dcplor
able in Its influence on all high
motives to political action, and justify
the most painful forebodings as to the future.
tun respecti ully yours,
JOHN A. Dix

HORACE'S THEORIES OF CASH
Greeley's l'humeinl
Mr. Greeley's financial policy, should any
reverse of national fortune place him at the
head of affairs, would startle most business
men. For a long time los watchword in re
gard to specie payments, has been "the way
to resume is resume," a proposition eminently
philosophic in expression, but dangerous in
realization. It is likely that his first measure
—after, perhaps a general regulation of agri
culture according to his thec ries—would be
forced resumption of specie payments, which
would result in a general unsettling of bssi•
ness udkirs, a change in standards of value
I the ruin of thousunis of business men
Mr. Greeley, too, has a theory of It is own in
regard to taxation and the payment of the
national debt, which cannot but be interesting
to all moneyed men. Mr. Greeley said in
June, 1867:
" We believe in taxing so as to pay the debt
in ten years. TO (hi thistles national revenue
should he about $500,000,000 per annum, or
the same as in 1860. Had it been kept there
we might have celebrated our country's ern
tenary on the 4th Jay of July. 1876, comp:ete
ly out ot debt.. And we hid that this might
have been done by taxing with steady pur
°se to diminlsh the number of idlers or *use
,ssly employed persons, mid Increase the pro
, ortion of I; . roductice workers, without pre
udice to the tuitional growth or prosperity
llere, for example r are a good ninny thousands
of our people who have intiones of $lO,OOO to
$1,000,000 per annum. Suppose these were
to pay ten per cent. income tax, what of it ?
They will live It se sumptuously, or hoard less
bounteously for a few years—that is all. They
Will still enjoy every comfort, and will' be
growing richer, if they choose.%
All men of means who are in favor of an
come tax of ten per cent. are requested to
step right up and cast their vOtes for Horace
Greeley, Don't crowd around the polls!

abandonment of Republican prinmples, and
so prospect of making any serious impression

The pay of all the Senators, Including mile
age and stationery, for the session of the Se
nate in 1809 was $35,475.30. while the ex•
proses to the State of Buckalew's Committee
was $24.410.00 I ! ! only $11,050.19 loss than
the pay &c., of all the Senators for a whole
ssssion,-all of which Bucktdew sanctioned in
the Coimnittto and in the Senate Chamber, as
the Harrisburg Patriot declares that the bills,
&c., were passed unanimoumly, which of
course were recommended by the Committee.
All of.the above was regular stealing except
about $5,000, which would have beemenough
to pay all legal expenses of said Committee,
which, we repent, that all the sessions held
did not occupy more than from five to six con
tinuous days.
Since our last publication we have exam.
ined a copy of the evidence printed, that is
put down at $1703.30. We print books in
our establishment, but it is not of course as
large as some of the establishments in Phila.
delphia, and we have made an estimate of this
work and we are ready to do the same print
ing that tins Committee had done in Philadel
phia, and charged the state $1703.30, fi n • the
sum of $B5O, just about one half the Conunit
ti•e charged for it. But this is not the worst
of it. This printing, under. the laws of the
State, ought to have been done by the State
Printer, on his contract, and at his contract
prices It ought not to have cost ove7 $5OO, or
$OOO. But of course there was a job in it
some where, and it was consequently given to
one of McClure's &lends as a lid job..
We do not know 'ilihnt it cr , lsts to subpoena
a witness;—will sonic of our officers inform
us ?—but above are bills for subpouning 1984
witnesses which cost $3,042,40, when the
whole pay of these witnesses was only $2,976
00. This is queer, or else the expenses of sub
poening withe ses in the cities are enormous
—more than the pay of witnesses. No won

LOST IN HIS OWN CELLAR

A Newport letter to the Providence, Press
says: A prominent merchant of this city .had
nee , islon, about nine O'clock last evening, to
descend, for some purpose, into bid own store
and being as he thought, well acquainted,
took no light-with hint. Touching bottom he
struck a bee line as near as he could calculate
a door he desired to enter, and missed it.
Here his trouble began. Ile took a new de
parture, with no better success.
The darkness was intense. He could not
"see his hand before him." At length he es
sayed to find Ins way out' but with no better
success, each successive attempt only adding
to his bewilderment and contusion. It was
getting late, and the prospect of spending the
night in that dark and lonely cellar a compan
ion for the rats, with anxious friends scouring
the town in an unsuccessful search for him,
loomed up in his excited fomentation and he
shouted for help, shouted twice, thrice and a
good !natty times. Some friendly Odd Fel
lows poising on their way home from the
lodge, heard the cry and responded quickly,
as they do to every. cry of distress.
They beat about the premiers for some con;
siderable time, unable to determine whence
the sound proceeded. In the absence of lon
'terns they used lueifer matches whose feeble
llghta were dancing hither and yon about the
premises, the smothered cry for help continu
ing to ascend Irmo the depths. At length,
Mier the whole neighborhond had been
aroused the lost mac Was found and restored
once more to society and his friends. The
next time lie goes into a pitch dark cellar he
will doubtless use the precaution to to a light.

The most Terrible Death on Record
CFrom the Detroit Free Prue, Jaly X.]
About half past 10 o'clock yesterday a
young man named Edward Coultler, engaged
in varnishing furniture on the third floor of
No. 84 Atwater street, met with a horrible
death. The young man has had a great pas
sion for gymnastics, expecting to attach him.
self to a circus as soon as he became proficient.
While working around the building he has
used all his spare moments In swinging from
beams, turning ham:springs and pertorming
other feats culling for suppleness and activity.
He was seen clinging to the main that of the
two hundred horse power engine a few days
ago, and was warned by his employer never
to attempt the feat again. This shaft runs
along within thirty inches of the floor and
makes about 150 revolutions per minute. In
the morning, yesterday, after finishing up a
table Coultier went to the north end of the
building and prepared himself to perform
some feat which lie had studied up. Taking
the tactical rope, which is used to hoist articles
from the alley below, he passed the free
end over the shall, This much was ascer
tained after his death, but his further proceed
ings will never be known. A boy was work
lug forty feet away, and was first alarmed by
heating Coultier calling out : "Stop that en
gine—quick I" Running around, the boy
saw that he was caught in the folds of the
rope and wound over the shaft. The boy ran
as did others, but it was two or three minutes
before the engine could be stopped, and then

the victim was past help. As soon as the
rope lashed hint close to the shaft tho young
man had to lure with it. One of his arms
was caught round the shaft so that it drew his
lime and shoulder close down but left his limbs
free to pound on the floor. The noise of his
feet striking the boards was heard half a
block away above the hum of the machinery.
Ills boots tore a strip off one of the boards and
were then flung front his feet clear across the
room. His hat went the other way, and his
pants were stripped off and thrown flreen
feet away. After the boots flaw off theyoung

looked like pieces of bloody beef. The bones

He gave a gasp us they released him, hut died
as thCy laid him down. Onp of his arms was

was hardly a whole bone in his body. His
.gs were mere pulps, his breast crushed in
his ribs broken, fingers broken, back and
n •ek broken, and a worse sight never was
seen. The flour was covered with blood and
flesh, and the strongest men shuddered as
they looked. Coroner Qrau was called and a
jury woe empanelled, amd a verdict rendered
on the spot. The verdict was to the effect
that deceased came to his di•ath while trying
an experiment with a rope around a shalt

verdict was thus worded to make the fact that

the accident.

Having at last decided to support Mr. Gree

his extraordinary virtues and admirable Phial.

to make the most of him. 1. "He was horn to

tortunate fur having been born to competence?
2. "He educated himself in a printing office."

poor." Is that a rare trait, and worthy of
grave consideration in determining wit° shall

which no suspicion has touched." There le
nothing peculiar in this. In the ordinary
dealings of business lire, no doubt, Mr. Gree
ley is honest ; he will neither cheat nor pick
your pocket. But in his political management
he has been and continues to be far from up
right, substituting a low expediency for un
swerving rectitude. The great American
compromiser, Ilenry Clay, living and dying,
was alike his idol and model. He doe not find
it difficult to believe that the end sanctifies the
means. To adhere to a fixed principle of
right, come what may, lie regards as • fanati
cism ; to sacrifice it for a present attainable
advantage is in his opinion statesmanship.
In the treatment of public affairs he Is unreli
i able, and without vision. or judgment. Tile
latest exhibition of his slipperiness is seen in
his high Protection dodge at Cincinnati to re•
coned° Free Traders to his nomination. He
seems to be quite destitute of moral sensibili
ty, and when occasion favors can easily be
duped. He sees no good reason why fire and
gunpowder should always remain at variance,
or wiry light and darkness should never co
alesce. It is only for Southern disloyalty to
put on the guise of patriotism to be accepted
as a proof of repentance and regeneration.
The Adversary, when dressed as an angel
of light, Is not to be repulsed or suspected,but
it will be a Christitin act to shake hands with
him, whether over a "bloody chasm" or the
bottomless pit I His clamor for Universal
Amnesty, and for a total oblivion of the
causes and consequences of the late dreadful
war, is directly in the Interest of another
Southern rebellion, and should he be our next

South Carolina Politica
A correspondent of the New York Evening

The State will undoubtedly go for Gen.

. majority.
Some of the old residents—men who took an
active part In the secession mpvement—have
come out strongly on the subject of local re•
form and by their influence are endeavoring
to reconcile their fellow-citizens to the exist
ing circumstances. Colonel W. L. Trenholm
late Secretary of the Treasury of the Confed
erate government. has Issued a pamphlet en
titled "Local Reform in South Carolina," in
which he reviews the condition of affairs
since the war, and urges an acceptance of the
situation—counseling his readers to overlook
the accident of color, and to base the selection
of any man for Wilco on his fitness for duties.
regardless of complezion. He asserts that
what all good citizens of South Carolina need
above other things le a State Government ca
pable of providing for the material welfare of
the whole community and earnestly intent
upon dicing so. He denounces classleg'slation
ss pernicious, and legislation for the benefit of
individuals and rings as absolutely ruinous to
all permanent interests. He proclaims that
all local issues are of supreme importance to
all honest men on both sides of the national
contest, and that they should be attended to
first. He concedes that the electoral vote In
any event will be cast for the candidate of the
Republican party.

The Greeley organs are claiming greti

Mr. A. D. Vandling, an old and influentia!
Jacksonian Democrat of Petry county, hi
this State, has published a trenchant letter re.
viewing the political situation, In which hi
says: My politics are a little different front
some of my neighbors. They say, anything
to defeat Grant. Such are not my principles.
I do not feel like sacrificing the interest of my
country for the sake of placing a few hungry
politicians in office. Let the friends of Davis
and Greeley take their course and we will
take ours. Greeley'a saying was, during the
war, •no compromise with traitors ; and I
consider be was among the first to do so. You
delegates of the Baltimore Convention that
strayed so far front the party principles cer
tainly expected, to be well paid for your
trouble, or you could not have done as you
did. Nothing will suit but a straight-out 'De
mocrat."
The East Brady Independent, of Clarion
county, says: "On Monday last a prominent
gentleman of this vicinity informed us that
In conversation with twelve workingmen,and
always ardent Democrats, they unanimously
decided to vote for Grant as against ,Greeley,
alleging for their reason that under the
'present rule, the times were good and they
did not desire a change, which in all likeli
hood would make things worse. A Demo
crat of Warren county called on us one day
this week and assured us that himself and
hundreds of others of the same faith in that
cnunty were going to vote for General Allen.
These moo were with him In the army and

The Mercer Dispatch says : "The Republi
pans throughout this county have commenc

and the reports Irons evpry section aro very
flattering. There is an occasional Republican
so loot to principle, as to be, like Horace
Greeley, willing to cohabit with Democrats,
in hope of gaining future power and plunder,
but they are few, and the number is decided
ly overbalanced by the Democrats who abso
lutely rerun to have the Greeley collar plac

The Greeley Democracy of Minnesota have
just received a severe blow by reason of the
tact that Judge E. 0. Routh°, of St. Cloud,
who, for several years has been ono of the
strongest and meat unctimpromising,and cer
tainly one of the most influential Democrats
in the State, has just written a very able letter
to the Secretary of the State Central Commit

Greeley in favor of Grant. The Judge is ono
or the most popular and respected members of
the Democratic party In Minnesota, and, In
coming out for Grant, he will carry hundreds
of other Democrats with him.

At a Republican mass meeting held at
Meadville, in title Slate, last week,. Judge
Scofield made a revelation of another and
hitherto unpublished attempt on the part of
Horace Greeley to interfere with the war pol
icy of Lincoln's administration. He stated
that in the winter of 1864 Greeley went down
to Washington fend there proposed tollr. Lin
coln to endeavor to procure Louis Napoleon's
assistance In fighting the South and to offer
Napoleon the control of •the Government ot
the United States in consideration of services
renders lin overcoming the revellion. Con
siderable correspondence passed between
Greeley and Lincoln in regard to Greeley's
plans, but the matter wasfinally dropped. He
further said thee this had almost been forgot
ten when Senator Wilaon called his attention
to it at the Philadelphia Convention a few
weeks ago.
THE Pitts urgh Commercial says—lf, as is
reported, Senator Sumner le about to take the
rump for Greeley and Brown, It is respectfully
suggested that his first oratorical efforts should
be made In West Virginia, where, at the elec
tion soon to be held, a vote of the people is also
to be had on a new constitution, recently
framed by a convention composed principally
of Democrats, one provision of which excludes
colored people from ever holding office in that
Btate. There le some danger that this clause,
which is to be voted on separately from the
rest of the constitution, may be rejected by the
people, unless in the meantime the Democratic
argument shall be strongly reinforced. The
Senator having started out so well on his new
career. and being, moreover, a man of decided
gifts as a public speaker, it is suggested that
his abilities might be very profitably employed
In that Btate in calling attention to this latest
convincing proof of the Inten•lon of the Dem
ocracy to place—see his last letter—"the equal
rights of all under the safeguard of irresistible
guarantees.' ,
