FOU PRUSIDEXT, HORACE GREELEY, OF NEW YORK. For Vice President, B. GRATZ BROWW, OF MISSOURI. Presidential lileetors, , JEO. IX. IIEL3I, of Linn County. N. II. CiATES, of Wasco County. Ij. P. LANK, of Douglas County. The n'ar Spirit. Strenuous efforts have been made hy the Administration party to keep alive a war spirit among the people. To do this, it lias been "heartless in design and imsenipu Glous in execution. To do this, the South has been tortured, provoked and outraged. The Federal mili tary, aided by their half-savage negro accessories, have scoured the South and hauled her innocent yeo manry before a corrupt Federal judiciary, instituted mainly for the perversion of justice, the exonera tion of" guilt and the punishment of innocence, which, by suborned wit nesses and packed juries, they were declared guilt v of crimes of which, in nine cases out of ten, they were victims instead of perpetrators. As the ring-master of a Spanish bull fight often found it necessary to goail the bull with thorns to arouse his anger to the fighting pitch, so the Administration, deliberately set to work goading the South with a variety of persecutions and insults, which smack strongly of diabolism, in order to provoke it into overt acts which would be a pretext for keeping among them a large standing army and a power ful auxiliary in keeping alive the M ar spirit among all classes. Hut in defiance of these and all other efforts on the part of the Adminis tration to fan the flames of feud and civ il discord, the drift of public sentiment throughout the country lias been for peace. The South has borne its unprovoked wrongs meek ly and the North has become exas perated rather at the Administra tion than against the South. Its keen sense of right, has discerned the real cause of every disquiet m the land, and has become determin ed to remove it. The sentiment of the country is unmistakably and overwhelmingly for peace. The electioneering cry for Grant four years ago, was the enunciation of his hypocritical phrase, "Let us have peace." The strongest electioneering ciw against him now is, that he lias proven false to the true spirit of that invocation. The tide of the times is bearing us towards an era of good feeling. It is all in vain that the Grant Army of the Repub lic may preserve its organization for the sake of keeping alive past memories. It is all in vain for the adherents of Grant to allude to the trophies of his bloody butcheries. The people are tired of all the pomp and circumstances of war. They want to bury all memories of a bloody internecine war, close up forever the bloody chasm which has existed between the North and South, and strike hands for all doming time in true brotherly ac cord. This is why Farmer Greeley is destined to sweep the land with a hurricane of triumph. lie was the first of the North after the war to extend the hand of friendship to the most noted and hated "rebel'1 of the South. This good deed is destined to crown him with a noble reward. His old white hat, ''the color of truce," is the oritlamme which is leading the great masses of the nation to march forward and win a triumph over the war spirit, and a victory for lasting peace. On the 28th uk., George Francis Train made a speech, out of his series to the Presidential chair, at New Orleans, when some incredu lous fellow asked Train if he was an American cititzen, to whom George F. replied: "I am an Am erican citizen, descended from a Pevolutionery sire and by a Conti nental dam.11 The audience voted his pedigree to be good. In 18(53 the Pepublican electoral ticket in New York was headed by Marshall O. Poberts and Henry P. Selden, as Senatorial electors. Poth these gentlemen are now working zealously for Greelev and Prown. T "Clumsily Devised Fables.'? The Herald, a few days ago, had somewhat to say regarding the public debt of the United States, which excited the wrath of the Custom House oflicer of the Ore ffonicm and he savagely retorted as follows : On any subject relating to the Administra lion you have no reputation lor candor and accuracy to put at hazatd. It is an approved Democratic habit to rely oa clumsily devised fables Now we want to ask our pert young friend of the Oreyonian, what else have Democrats to rely on regarding the public debt of the United States except "clumsily de vised fables?" The reports of the Tieasury officers are all that Dem ocrats have to relv on, and if we had tried a whole year to give them a fitting name, we could not bettered that of "clumsily devised fables," which the Oregonian has bestowed upon them. To come to the rescue of that pnper, ami to show fully that its designation of those reports is correct, we will now produce three diflerent state ments made by IJoutwell, Secretary of the Treasury, one statement made by Allison, liegister of the Treasury, and one statement made by Spinner, Treasurer of the Unit ed State?, relative to the amount of the public debt July 1st, 1S70 : 1S70. July 1. Del t per Buutwell, 1st statement 2,477,472,159 20 " Debt per J '.out well, 2d statement 2X01,733,077 7t " Debt per lioiltwcll, 3.1 statement 2,480,072,127 81 " Debt ier Allison, Uc-t;is- terof Treasury 2,38(i,33S,."0t 74 ' Debt per Mr. fcpinucr, Treasurer 2,307,811,013 05 Now, four of these statements are, of course, "fables," and the probability is, that they all are. We must, however, submit that it is unkind in the Oregonian to twit Democratic papers of relying on "clumsily devised fables" while the Administration officers do not give them anything else to rely on. It should by rights abuse the lying or incompetent officials. Not Ui:con(tlt:d. The editor of the Eugene Guard cannot lie come reconciled and abide the ac tion of the National Convention. It is a good thing to have an ex haulted opinion of one's import ance. It Incomes egotism, however, when a man attempts to set up his judgment as to the course or poli cy to be pursued by a party against the expressed and unanimous views of its representatives. We suppos ed he would get over his fret after the first issue and come out and support the ticket. Put he now claims that all the Democratic pa pers in the State are only so-called, while he is the embodiment of Democracy. It reminds us of the story about a certain juryman, which is about like this: "There were twelve men on a jury, (that is just the number of Democratic papers in the State, so-called, if you please) and one of the juryman hung it untill they were discharg ed. A friend met him the follow ing day, and said : Well, you couldn't agree in that case? No, was the reply, for there were eleven d d fools on the jury." The Guard editor is in about that situ ation, lie refuses his support be cause he is the only brilliant intel lect in the State1, and the Democra cy of the nation should come to his views, and also, the eleven Demo cratic papers (so-called), should re fuse their support because he wishes it. About as consistent as the jury man was. At the last commencement of Daitmouth College, Walt Whit man recited the Commencement Poem. A man that writes such poetry as Whitman does, should be very careful about inditing son nets to one of the fair sex, as he might run the danger of getting whipped by her big brother for in sulting her. We subjoin the fol lowing extract from the, poem as a specimen : And for iliy subtler sense, subtler reforms. () Union !

Thurlow Weed, one of the j most astute politicians of the age. said prior to Greeley's nomination by the de j mocracy : "I see no way of beating Hor- ace Greeley if he be nominated at Balti ' Tuore-'7 Was Justified. The Grant organs are just now teeming with rough things which Greeley is said to have written about the Democracy in times past, , ii i i ,i.;.,. and generally W.nd up by asking "how can tiiey support, a man wio has denounced them as thieves, blackguards and drunkards?"

Chenoweth and a host of oth er smaller and greater lights, were professed Democrats, and there is no denying that his enunciations were well founded in truth ; but they and their kind, influenced by mercenary motives, have deserted the Democracy and so perged it of the baser elements, ami now it stands purified ami cleansed, and 3Ir. Greeley, a truthful and just man, no longer characterizes it as he did when they were a compon ent part of the Democratic organi zation. For this reason, the Dem ocracy bear 3Ir. Greeley no malice, and he can truthfully say of the Giant party, what he said of the Democracy when the men named trained with us. Tin: Ch ANtil. Our readers are gener ally aware that. Ihe telegraph lines throughout the country are used a. a po lineal machine in behalf of the Rad ical part-. Since the present campaign has commenced this fact has become more apparent.

II"rc is an interesting item for those who still think it necessary to keep up the old battle lines between the North and the South, and p. ho insist that the late rebels are still rebellious at heart. Col. J. W. Forney writes from Louisiana : ' What imnresses me most. among other things m this novel region, are the kindly relations between whites and blacks. I have not heard a sylla ble of secessionism. All the people are urlad to see Northern men; all are anxious for immigration and capital, and really they present in ducements." Gilmore, at Poston, held a big musical jubilee from June 17th to July 4th, and in order to draw a big house, it is intimated by Past ern journals, that he hired Presi dent Grant to attend. At any rate, the New York Herald asserts that "the arrival and presence of Grant was used as a bir advertising card by the executive committee and worked very well." If Parnum would only pay him a few hundred dollars, he would undoubtedly get Grant to join his big show ami ex hibit himself along side of Young Gerrilla and his Hottentot Queen. A Southern exchange says that four years ago Grant's paitisans in the South promised each of the ne groes "forty acres of land and a mule," if they would support Grant. They are again asking them to vote for CI rant, and when the darkies inquire about the land and the mules, they are told that the d d Democrats stole ail the survevs of the hind so that they couldn't ret the forty acres, and own ail the railroads so that they can't bring them the mules.

O ooruees maue "o ' ! rwtlirninr thank, lor the nora- ination he expressed Ibo warmest gratifi cation that those who knew him best had refused lo listen lo what h;-.d been said to nis disadvantage, but had instead de manded that he should remain in their service, though they knew tbat he no lon ger sought public position. He then re ferred to - the position he had essoined with regard to the nomination of Greeley by the Democrats, and said he had felt convinced ihat the pre.-ent Administration had so di-guied the country that an easy opportunity would be pre.-ented this year for the Democratic Party, by presenting one of its ablest and purest men for the Presidency, to regain con'rol of the gov ernment ; that he had given honest Re publicans the same credit he now gave to Democ-ais. in believing that they would sufficiently r'ne above party to vote against a corrupt Administration, regard less of the company in which they did so. He siill believed tlds. and so believiutr had exercised his right as a member of i lie Democratic Party in urguig this view upon- the Natiotiii' Democratic Convention, lie had no apologies to make for having done so ; would do so again under sua ilar circumstances. In opposing the nmn ination ol Greeley he had acted on thi principle, and no one need expect, him now nor hereafter to retract a word he had spoken or w itten on the subject. What he had said was intended lo influ ence the Ualiimore Convention. It hud not done so and be was sorry for it. It lie could at this point abandon public sta-" non consistently with his obturations to Ids pat ty, his tii'-mls. a:id his duties as a citizen. the path before him would be easy, but the acti' n of the Convention to-day impel. ed him lo accept the nominu'iori and make osi" more campaign. 11- re garded the action of the P. a timore Con vention as settSing th questi ui as to the policy to be pursued in in iking a nomi nation.

If Gteeley were elect ed he would stand pledged by the strong est ob igiti .:i that ever re!ed upon an honorable m m li bestow on tile South the biessiegs of a jttst. kind and paternal policy. If he did no. alter the confidence teposed in h'ni by the South, he would be accursed. He would hope, however that the best hopes of the South Would be realized, and tha' peace and prosperity would return to ihein a before. 'Ihe rest of hi speech was devoted to an elaborate review anl cri'icism of the policy and acts of the Administration. 12. Gratz IJrown in Connecticut. A dispa'ch from New Haven.
