HORACE GREELEV." THE LOUISVILLE SIDB SHOTT. On next Monday the Louisville conclave of discontents and mercena ries meet to make a last lrantie effort to create a diversion in favor of Grant. It becomes more evident erery day that the Louisville affair was gotten up under the auspices of . Grant's strikers in the hope of drawing away support from Mr. Greeley. Not a single representative man from the Democratic ranks has given it coun tenance or support. Mr. Dlanton Duncan, the leader in the movement, has drawn a picture of Mr. Greeley as lie was during the war, and holds up fcis anti-slavery crusade to the view of the Bourbon Democracy, for the pur pose of alienating Democratic votes from Mr. Greeley and giving them to Grant. We now propose, says the Chicago Tribune, to draw a picture of Blanton Dnncan during the war, that Democrats may know what sort of a man he is who designs selling them out, and that Republicans may know the character of this silent part ner in the firm of Grant, Cameron, Morton fc Co. When the war broke out, Mr. Blanton Duncan, after failing to force his State (Kentucky) into se cession, offered his services to Jeffer son Davis, with the expectation of re ceiving a high commission, lie was made only Colonel and Aide-de-Camp, and after a short time resigned, and took a contract with the Treasnry Department for printing and engrav ings Confederate notes. Ilis contract, after the space of six months, was for feited, by the discovery that lie bad overissued several millions of dollars more than he had delivered to the Treasnry Department. For this he "was arrested. Wealth and influence secured his release. He next turns up in Wilmington, X. C, as a block- FRIDAY. aae-runner, owning several vessels, i their own safety in case of a reaction and amassing a large amount of mon- j in pubno 8entiment. Before pardon y m his lucrative business At last, i jng these victims of IUdical inqast however, . the Confederate conscrip- tjon Grant commissioned one of his tion laws grew so rigions that either secret Police to interview the prison 3Ir. Blanton Duucan must enter into . ers. In his report the detective offi- a I active service or give np a consider able portion of his property. He concluded to do neither, and, getting his means into portable shape, ran through the Union blockading fleet and escaped to Nassau, whence, after some time, he makes his appearance in the Northern States in time to save his immense Kentucky estates from confiscation, which he does by show ing that he had always been a staunch Union man ! This is Mr." Blanton Duncan's record, as furnished to us upon good authority.. As a fire-eater, be ended in disgrace. As a dirt-eater, be ended in success. He now once more reappears in public life as the manager ot the side show to the Phil adelphia Convention, wherein he pro poses to sign, 6eal, and deliver over to Grant such Democrats as he may catch with bis spacious pretences. Such is . the character of the man who feels such a deep interest in the salvation of the Democratic' party. We apprehend that our Oregon read ers will find little to admire in either him or his record. Certainly no man who does not desire the re-election of Grant can sympathise with him in bis present desperate enterprise. "As OXE leading Republican after another," says the Chicago Tribune, "joins the Liberal Tanks, the party of prejudice, and plunder, and hate de votes itself to proving that this par-: ticular man has been everything that was bad. .Trumbull, Palmer, Koer ner, Sumner, Bird, Greeley, Tipton, Julian, Clay, Schurz, and many others, have all been bitterly denounced. It is painful to think what-a consum ate set of scoundrels have hitherto led the Republican r party. That organi zation is to be congratulated on hav ing" freed itself from such men; and having come under the leadership of such pure patriots as Cameron, and Butler, and Grant, and Clayton, and Casey, and Leet, and Pomeroy, and the lozig line ot kindred souls." Not job Duxcax. The Eugene Guard publishes Slater a name among its list of supporters of : the Louisville Convention. As Mr. Slater announced in last week's La Grande Sentinel that he would canvass Oregon for Greeley, the Guard must see that it has done that gentleman great injustice. Mr. Slater does not favor tlie Louisville Convention nor anything Grant's as sistants organize. We refer our read ers to. an able' letter ' from his pen, whi-li will be found on the first page oi this paper. - Carl Schurz as expected to vist this toast before the' Presidential election, A PARTY OF PREJtDlCB AND HATE. The Grant faction' presents a most pitiable spectacle. When led by tboso great men - Greeley, bumncr, Trura bull, Cox and the host of eminent statesmen who now spurn and repudi ate it the Republican party oonv manded the respect even of its oppo nents. Then it embodied ideas and enunciated principles which it had the ability to express and defend. Look at it now and behold the contrast. Its leaders are men destitute of char acter and in many instances illiterate, coarse and vulgar, whoso highest as pirations are to retain control of the offices of tho Government with a view to make money.. They regard every man as their enemy who is not will ing to join in their disgraceful squab ble for spoils. Among the managers of the party may be found men of every shade of political opinion who are held together by no bond save a mutual desire to gain position and pelf. The mass of the party is com posed of men who aro controlled by prejudice and sectional hate, and it is to these base and ignoble passions that appeals are made by Grant pa pers and orators. Tho animositiy engendered by our late fratricidal strife is aggaravated anew aud thousands listen fo a rehash of 'the inflammatory appeals made duricg the war and for get that reason has resumed her sway and that peace reigns throughout our borders. Such is the Grant faction; a party of unthinking men led on by an army of small fry political brokers, who sell them for so much per head to shoddy monopolists and office-seeking knaves. How long will men suffer them selves to be led blindfold and shackled when it is in their power to stand up right in their manhood and in the dig nity of freemen? THE rWJtlSITOB'S ELL. A . more disgusting exhibition of cowardice was never seen than that witnessed in President Grant's rcceut pardon of the Ku Klux prisoners con fined at Albany "ew York. Fortu nate, indeed, was it for those poor victims of tyranny that our Calagula aspired to a re-election. But for that they might have rotted in their duu geons ere he would have listened to their cries for mercy. While every man possessed of a human heart must rejoice that no political captive is to peer through prison bars to curse the sunlight which enables him to behold the land which gave him birth, no gratitude is due to Grant or his ad visers. In pardoning those ignorant and misguided men they only yielded to an imperious demand from the peo ple which caused them to tremble for cersays: "Some of them are very poor and unlearned, and have - left large families behind." Had they been rich they would have possessed the key which would have unlocked their prison door without the aid of public sentiment. The pardoning of the Ku Klux prisoners on the ve of the election is too palpable an effort on the part of Grant to cover np the tracks of the inquisitors who have been trampling the Constitution un der foot, to deceive even the most un wary. The President, stupid as he is, was discrete enough to understand that it is yet too soon to carry out his inquisitorial schems to crush out the last vestige of liberty left the unfor tunate people of the South. What the People Say. A well informed gentleman, a resident of this city, now traveling in Southern Ore gon, writes ns from Jacksonville un der date of August 22. He says that at every point where he stopped the Greeley men are confident and the Grancit.es gloomy. The only hope the friends of Hiram express is in the action of ' the Louisville bolt. Our correspondent says he did not find a single Democrat on the whole trip from Albany to Jacksonville who fa vored the Louisville side show nor did he find one who will not support the Baltimore and Cincinnati nomi nees. The best informed men of both parties with whom our informant con versed say Jackson county will give Greeley, a majority of 300.' Many Republicans both in Douglas and Jackson counties are outspoken fori Greeley, and as in other portions; of the State they arc made the especial objects of Radical- vituperation. If anything were needed to prove the hopelessness of the cause of Grant be sides the determined voice of the peo pie denouncing' his profligate admin istration it may be heard in the mat tered curses of his pensioned followers upon , those who have deserted him and espoused the cause of Greeley and reform. ' Will Speak At Eugenb. In re sponse to an invitation, official; given, Hon. George R. Helm will address the Greeley and Brown Club at Eugene City, on next Saturday evening. Mr. Helm goes into he campaign with earnestness and zeal which takes into consideration only ultimate success. We trust that our friends at Eugene may have a rous ing meeting on next Saturday. The Chicago Tribune, always care ful in its assertions, says Greeley will carry Illinois by 60,000 majority. PACIFIC COASTER. . " M. E. Conference at Salem. vThe Yamhill county Treasury is empty.

The Pitburg Commercial wants to know if the Republicans of Penn splvania cannot do as well as they of North Carolina? Yes, if thty havt got the count. The Corvallis Gazette, while sup porting Grant, says of Greeley: "His talent and his honesty m uoqnefttion able." Laying aside EnglUb gram mar weeonenr. The Grantites say there will be war in case Graeley is elected. . So there will a war of extermination on the thieves now in office by filling their places with honest men! Caldwell, the Grant candidate for Governor, appointed all the election inspectors in North Carolina. The vote being close, they are now trying to count their master in.

"Greeley was a seces- sioneRt," echoes the Oreyotiion, "bo can Republicans vote for him?" , In 1WJ8 Grant's popular vote was 2,655,09!); Seymour's vote was 2,600, 427.

The editor of the Eugene Journal, who has served with the negro police in Washington City forseveral years, says the colored voters of that city will not support Greeley. From his offi cial associations we should judge that he ought to know. " , Frank Hiscock, of Syracuse, N. Y., one of the most active republicans in that section, a member , of the state constitutional convention in 18C7, is bitterly denounced by the Grant organ at Syracuse for his activity in behalf of Greeley and Brown. The J'antarjraph says it has heard of one Greeley man who became a Grant man by listening to Mrs. Duni- way's lecture at Roseburg.

The Gram papers hasten to lay Mr. O' Meant s valuable ipti-dixit before their readers as conclusive evidence in the case. How's that for high? Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, iu view of the organization of a diamond expedition to Arizona by the White House ring at Washington, whose expenses will be paid from the public coffers, thinks "that General Grant, if reelected, ought to be worth $100, 000,000 at the expiration of his sec ond term.

The New York Radical State Convention which met at Utica on the 21st, made frantic appeals to Democrats for aid. One of the speakers said, "we are about to meet a most powerful coal ition, and we must meet it with al out strength. Greeley will secure Republican votes, and we must offset these votes with honest Democrats The hopelessness of the Grant cause is clearly illustrated by this cowardly appeal for . help.
