What H. Greeley knows
about Democracy.
"Every one who chocks to live Lv
pugilism or gambling or harlotry, with
nearly every keeper oi a tippling-house,
i- politically a Democrat."—Horace
GHE*LEY.
"If there were not a newspaper nor a
ι a:iuon school in the country, the Demo·
emtio party would bo far stronger than
it i«."-lI'»Ru'r Greeley.
"The essential articles of the Demo
cratic creed [are] 4love ruai, anil hate
triggers.' The le>s one learns aud knows,
the more certain he is to vote the regular
ticket Iroru A to Izzard."—Horace
GREELEY.
"W'q thereupon asked our con tempore·
ry to state trankly wbethor tho pugilists,
biack-legs, thievea, burglars. keepers of
den-oi prostitution, etc., etc. *ere al
most unuuiinou-ly Democrat*."—Horace
GURELEV. ·
"To iUioke it» η Democratic virtue; to
chew i> that virtue inten>iiied; to driiK
ruin is that \ irtue iu the superlative.'—
H--KVCL CiRKf LET.
"A purely sel i*h interest attaches» tho
le«wd, ruilianly, criminal, and dangerous
clauses to the Democratic party."—
II' »RAC Ε Gxiklev.
"This would amount to six in a bed,
exoU ive of ?tr.y other vermin, for every
Democratic couch in the State of New
York, including those of Sing Sing; and
Auburn."—Horace Greeley.
Republican Meetings.
The meetings which have already been
held in our county have been remarkably
well attended, and show that the rcpub
1a uis ot old Oxford staud tirra and mean
t » do their duty ou the 9th oi September.
Mes^is. llamiin aud Trye had a grand
:iltei noon meeting at Kumford Centre on

The Two Conventions.
Lbe democrats and liberal rebnblicans
oi tho Counts are to meet in separate
( ouvtmion in ourvillage to-day. Tues
day. Was it a m η ho -funιny or < hunct
ci roll instance that these two parties
*Uould call their Convention at the same
tunc and place? Of course not. It was
planned, for the purpose ot uniting
t.>·. We await results.
we go lo press the day beforw the
convention meets», we must defer a report
till oui next issue.
It the liberal republican? suppose the
democrats will take any ot their nomin
alion- lefole exacting a pledge Irorn
tin ui to support Kimball fur Governor,
they arc mistaken. The libérais will be
allowed t'> make their own nominations,
no doubt, and then the democrats will
take such as tliej" please, to make up their
t.«.«.et. The democracy aie playing for
higher game than County officers.and we
shouldn't be surprised if ihey allowed the
liberals to do about a> they please, if they
util inly jo /or Kimball.
The passage w?.} from the Court House
to the Academy ought to be thrown open
to allow the hc-jUUr ed.tor to circulate
freely betwecu the two conveutiou», a
it would be a pity to compel him to go
around by the road.
Kilpatrick is to address the libera
meeting ut Academy Hull, lire demo
crats are not allowed any speaker, anu
will probably taj»e a recess to hear the
advocate oi their new candidate, Horace.
Yes, they ought to be allowed this privi
lege, though they have no candidates,
not plaitorm, nor speakers oi their own.
"Anything to beat Grant," the old wai
cry of the rebels, is now their slogan.

North Carolina is oui s ! Alter days of
doubt it is at last tlcteimined that the
Republicans hare carried the State by a
majority ranging from om ta two thou
sand. The Republican* have elected
three ol the eight Congressmen, making
a gam ol one. ll" the Slate hail beeu
districted with a decent show ol fairness
the resuit in Congressmen would have
been reversed. Greater rascality w;u
never witnessed in districting u State
tuan that in the North Slate. Γο set ure
a majority of S,M) in one Republfeau
district the Mate wm* literally slashed in
pieces. The same is true ol the legisla
tive apportionment. It would have re
quited ilie 11:—t sweepiug majority on
Ihe jjenei.il ticket to have secured a ma
jority ol the Legislature. It may yet Ue
possible that the Republicans have se
cured the lower hou^o ol the Stale Legis
lature.
The Republican canvas* wr\s badly
managed and the field was abandoned
when the enemy had only begun hi*
work. All that money and Tammany
tactics could do, wa* «lone by the adver
sary. The Dcmociacy t'elt that North
Carolina was the Utile Round Top of
the Presidential battle. They have
fought desperately and lost Out of the
nettle, danger, we pluck ihe flower of
safety.
The noisy Roasts ol our adversaries
have turned sour on their lips. They
have, with eager haste, tired their guns
and hung out their notorious banners.
The early reports of Democratic gains
were deliberately made to deceive the
country. The author* knew that they
v\ere false at the beginning. They were
manufactured by the coalition agents of
this now political combination of pluader
sceket s to promote their ends, and are
fair samples of the game that the coali
tion leaders in Maine are practicing in
the pieuent campaign, it has beeu a
campaign of false pretence*—of brag
and bluster, of claims unfounded and
boasts unsupported. It has its counter
part in Maine.

Q.
Denying the Party.
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, has
a very good likeness of Hon. Charles P.
Kimball, who, it has generally been sup

Louisville, the chioi citj ot that Slate,
the regular Greeley-Democratic ticket,
supported by the L'ouricr Journal and all
the Greeley-Democratic oigaus, has beon
defeated. This result is doubtless due
to the volea of Deiuociais who refuse lo
join the coalition, who, in tiiin eieclion,
volud with the Republicans. The same

A Tottr of Observation.
"Toby Candor," the well known Maine
correspondent of the Jiostoii Journal, has
bec» oil a tour of observation in Oxford
Count}. Hois a shrewd observer oi
event* :md as keen us a briar in culling
news, especially of si political nature,
ilo has ail inside view of both political
parties, being careful not to divulge in·
formation imparted in secrecy. He has
picked tip considerable about the dis
affected Liberals in our County, which is
probably correct. Wtiting from Paris,
he says :
Nearly evorv mail brings to the Gov
ernor cheering intelligence ol the pro
gress ol the canvass. Here in hi* own
town, in a section whom he was reaied
and is best known, and where he is so
honored and respected by his neighbors
nud friends, without regard to political
opinions, he will receive η most gratify
ing support.
Iu this town only one Republican is
known to be tor Greelev. The party was
never in better spirits. In Hetbcl, the
next largest town, only «'lie Republican
goes for (ireeley. Norway and Buck
tield seem to be the only town· in which
there is any Greeley detection, although
the leaders claim, as a matter ot course,
that great inroads ale being made in the
Republican party. lhere arc many
counted us (ireeley Republican· who have
never been reliable, and who have al
ways had a natural fondness lor bolting.
In Bucktield, more especially, will this
apply, 'lnat place contains possibly the
strongest Gieeley element of any town
in Ox fold County. Some sixty-five are
claimed as Republican stragglcrr from
the camp, when half of that number
would be nearer tho truth. The (ireeley
movement was inaugurated by a few in
that town, who are habitual and chronic
bolters, their love for ofllco being strong
er than their regard for principles. The
Democrats lay off and let these Libel ale
do all the work with the sinews »! war
they hare furnished them, lhere is not
one among them of any repute, unless it
it A. I).White,who was once a colonel in
tho State militia. He has been hanker
ing alter the loaves and lishes for years,
wild failing to have his longings sated, he
turns on his Republican friends and lead*
oil iu the new movement—another win»
i«. doing all in his |>owcr to work up the
(ireeley cause, sourcil because ho has
been disappointed in his aspirations t< r
office. What makes him show more
feeling in the matter than is generally
exhibited by his political coadjutors is.ns
he explains, because the Republican
press, not eontout with bringing its guns
to bear on Sumner, must g>> a step
further and. by the means ol tho local j
paper here, use him as a mark lor its
artillery. Poor man, that he should be
<if so much consequence. Gilbert Barrett
will probably l>e nominated loi Repre
sentative to the Legislature, in return for
Ins apostasy to the Republicans. In Can

Greeley Republican is reportod, there is
ono Democrat who will voto lor <imnt.
Up to Hm present time no work ol nny
consequoneo has been done in this t ouniy
by the Republicans, but tonight at Buck
lield Senator Hamlin and Congressman
Fry· ot thi« District will both speak.
They are to stump tho County. I hero is
a great deal ol hard work to l>e done, an
the Democrats Imro sueh a strong loot
hold in the County as to present a for
midable opposition. In no section of the
State does the Democratic party have
nbier men than :iie to l>e fourni among
jheso Ox lord hills. It was in this region
that C. P. Kimball, the standard bearer
ot the patty, was bom. The leader» are
never at a loss what to do, and the des
peration of their cause now compels
them to resort to anv and every expedi
ent to cariy the County. One <>l the
Buckfield Liberals is extensively engsgod
iu button holing his neighbors, and by
the means of Sumner's and Schuix's
speeches, which he reads aloud to them
at their homes, endeavors to convert
them to Greeley. But the Republicans
will leave no stono unturned to achieve
success. They have now commenced
lormlng clubs, and campaign documente
ate being circulated lieely. Every effort
will be made to harmonize all disturbing
elements iu tho part) occasioned by local
cause*, which huve heretofore impaired
il» strength.
The Democrats ol Oxlord County are
among tho doclruincurs uf the party.
They are ol the foremost in bemoaning
the degeneracy ol the time* and the cor·
ruption in i>olitics. I hey ale the rebel
element ot the party cleaving still to the
barbarism υί slavery, and could they
have their choice would protêt* to lollow
the music ol "The Bonnie Blue Flag"
than that of the "Star Spangled Banner."
In supporting Greeley they do not depart
trom their principles, nor have they
abandoned the old landmarks. Li r eu ley
has gone to them, just as they went to
Jeff Davis and eucouiaged rebellion.
Unchanged aud unchangeable, they re
sist reconstruction, and maintain their ad
hesion to the heresies of State rights and
their opposition to equal rights. Virgil
Delphini l'an*»*, of this town, is their
spokesman and air Oracle- Owing to
physical infirmities, this old Bourbon is
not able to move about with his alacrity
of i'oimei campaigns, when his voice was
hoard in every· fcehool district, and once a
year, just as regular as the Stale Con ν on j
tiou ot his party took place, his blue,
brass-buttoned coat was taken trom the I
trunk and worn. But his mind is ao
clear as ovor. and his devotion to his
party creed just as strong and tenacious
as when, during the rebellion, his loyalty
to tho Union cause was below the iVeea
|uζ point. Greeley is a hard one for him
to'support, and it in not strange that he
raved and stormed when the Baltimore
ticket was announced.
When Pairie was Navy Agent at
the Portsmouth Navy Yard several
years ago, under a Democratic Adminis
tration, bo got hold of a lot of Awevipan
Ila^s. During the icbelliou not one of
these flags was exposed to view, but |
Cure Γι ι II}' concealed. Lust year ho offer- !
