An oM-fashiiincd, simon-pure Democrat, must tind and have felt for some time past, deeply chagrin ed and pained, as he has witnessed the course pursued by so large a class of the Democracy, and as he now observes it, towards tliat class of Kepublicnns who heldtlteir mon grel Convention in t. iiicintiatt last week. His countenance must have blushed with shame and disgust, as he read the lick-spittle eulogies written by Democratic journalists and pronounced by orators of that party, upon such renegades fro the Hepiibliean parly as ( Ireeley, tram" bull & Co. And now, that Crec ley has been n minuted by that incongruous taction fur President, how his heart must burn within him, as he sees so nfany of his Dem ocratic brethren throughout the land seriously advocating his support. He knows the antecedents of these men, especially (.ireeley, have never been anything else but bitter oppo s tion to Democracy. 1 fe knows that while these men have so persistent- y opposed Grant, they have just as earnestly refused to support a Democrat. Like a man ot sena, he argues, that if these Republicans wanted to beat Grautso badly, they should have 'ocen willing to vote for a Democrat, or else not expect Democratic supiort. (ireeley, to such a Democrat, unchanged as he is in his Hepiibliean principles, is much interior to Grant in point of consistency and reliability. Be tween the two, we believe that all such Democrats would much prefer to vote for Grant, as he has been tested ; and while they may not ap prove of all the acts of his adminis tration, they know that in the main it has lieen a success. Superstition. While we claim to lie a very wise ami progressive people, there is yet no small modicum of very benight ed ignorance and superstition ex isting among us. 7'here are many people yet alive who believe in hob goblins, ghosts and witches. Vari ous talismans are worn, and mum meries are gone through with to neutralize or overcome their fuji poscd influence. Horse shoes may still lie seen nailed over doors to keep oil' witches ; and not long since a Polish family in Wisconsin, dug up one of its members that had liccn buried for a coTtple of weeks, to ob tain the blood as medicine tin- an other who was very sick. It was a superstition with them that they would all go the same way unless this remedy was administered. Last week a large Convention of individ uals who assumed the exalted ap pellation of reformers, met in sol emn conclave at Cincinnati. After much caucusing ami wise delibera tion, they brought out father Grce ley for President, who, in the course ot a long life, has believed in every thing from ghostism to free love, and whose, talisman, worn as a pro tection against witches orsoniething else, has been an old w hite hat and overcoat As the object ot the Convention was to select a man possessed of traits the most conge nial and attractive to the 1 Jemocrats, so as to gain their support, proba bly ( ireeley comes as near reaching the Democratic ideal of versatility and superstition as could have lieen selected. Tie to that white hat and coat, Democrats, for they are the only things about Horace which are substantial, unless it may be his peevishness. San Francisco has 4,000 whisky saloons and groixgeries which an nually sell 20,000 barrels of lager beer; 2,000,000, gallons of whisky and other spirits ; 500,000 gallons of wine, besides bitters, syrups, etc. The wholo foots up 10,000,000 annually.
