The Poli'ical Revolution.
.
Events arc transpiring of so
marked a character that we cannot
be liable to the accusation of em
ploying political buncombe, when
we asstt that we are already
in tbe midst of a thorough and
overwhelming political revolution.
Nations, like individuals, are sub
ject at times to epidemical inrlu-
o enecs, and the features of the one
are as marked and definite as the
other. The common observer, as
well as the shrewd physician, is
readily sensible of any prevailing
physical epidemic, and so when a
political epidemic has fairly set in,
it is also as readily cognizable to
the ordinary individual as to the
trained and astute politician. All
the signs and evidences betoken a
political revolution are in the air.
Men of all classes see it anil feel it
as thoroughly as though it was
palpable, and so, decernable to the
physical senses. Men who rejoice
at it, feel a sufficient confidence for
which, for their lives, they cannot
array as yet any sufficient statisti
cal basis, while those opposed to it,
although they have the immense
patronage of the Federal Govern
ment at their back, already exhibit
a dispondency, which but for epi
demical influences, would be both
unaecount able and cowardly. This
political epidemic, in some respects,
possesses characteristics the most,
marked and powerful of any which
this country ever witnsesed, not
even excepting that of IS 40. Al
though not breaking as ytl old
party 'names and organizations, it
has sundered in the sudden and re
markable manner old party associ
ations, and brought into concerted
and harmonious action, men and
elements which but one short year
ago were almost at total variance.
The Republican party is almost
completely rent in twain, the head
with the brains having detached
itself from the rest of the carcass
and united its influence with the
Democratic organization. The
Democratic party, recognizing the j body and anything for a considei a
emergency of the times, has ad- tion, and that class of insane bigots
roitly retired, from the present can
vass merely, its lesser issues, and
lias avowed itself boldly only on
the more vital questions with re
gard to which it is in unison with
the most honest and patriotic por
tion of the liepublican party. This
adroit movement lias given addi-
tional force to the epidemic already j
set in, and gives good warrant that
it will sweep the lamb Physical j
epidemics, physicians all assert are !
traceable to some poison or corrup
tion prevailing extensively among
the peopio. 1 he epidemic comes j
and sweeps off those most corrup- j
ted, and tends to cleanse and puri- j
fy the others. Political epidemics
1 nil , I
are generally caused iy onicial
rotteness and corruption, and gen-
orally end in driving out of power
the corrupt elements and in purify
ing the political atmosphere gen
erally. And their force and pow
er is generally in ratio with the
corruption which is the prime in
centive. If this rule holds good
tiiis year, this epidemic is to sweep
the land like a hurrican, for the
reason that the abuses and corrup
tion of the part y in power are with
out a parallel in all the past historv
of our Government. God speed
the revolution !

Tli-e Forlorn Hope
Events arc exhibiting the strange
dilemma f,,v tV, 17 . T.l
j that its oniy hoV? f success in the
j present canvass is the nejjro vote.
j Secretary Iloutwell, in his Xorth
Carolina harangue, made a special ! Boston correspondent of the Spring
bid for that vote, by appealing to j field Republican, have a chance
their lowest prejudices and from ' now to see how much their wisdom
our telegraphic reports from various
. .
sections of the country, we are
forced to the conviction that the
only two classes that still adhere
to the waning fortunes of the
great (lift -Taker, are the nenroes
and the Federal office-holders.
The great mass of original Repub
licans, the honest, portion of the
party, and in fact its leading men,
! who have furnished its brains, are
all leaving it and are rallying tin-
j uer i no nag oi ircciey. n n:u a
humiliating condition does this
party now find itself in, wl
ich
once boasted of having the intelli
gence of the nation, when it now
falls back on the ignorant negro
vote as its foilorn hope of success!
As events are now shaping, it is
more than probable that while
Grant will get nearly the entire
nec?ro vote of the Union, Greeley
will get nearly the entire white
vote. And thus, this party driven
at last to Africa, having alienated
the support of all intelligent white
people, will close its short career,
begun with such high hopes and
continued with great promise, in
shame, and die in the embrace of
its ignorant adherents, which have
only remained true to it, by their
utter mental inability to compre
hend the stupendous rascality and
corruption which they are unwit
tingly aiding to support.
Who Support Grant J
1 ne
Grant organs claim that
e., !
their master has the support ol
:UPP01T or UK' j
o-reat, mass ol the "solid' citizens,

who approve his poncv au.i ue .
maud his re-election as "essential
to the best interests of the count rv." j
r, . . , ,i i
1 hat plain people mav not be mb- ;
L l i ' ;
led bv this boasting, we give below
a partial list of the "solid" support
ers of Grant as we find them cata
logued by the X'ew York fiut.
They are
The Custom House Kin-
The General Order Swindle King'.
The San 1) mimpo Uin.
The District o! Columbia Pon.
The .Seneca Samlsone Hi tig.
The Lund Grabbing Ring.
The Choi-penning Fraud Ring.

The Internal Revenue Ring-

The Cameron KemT.de ' Adds" Ring.
The Monopolist Ri' g-5 everywhere.
The Great Uailraod Rings.
The National Rank Rings.
The Southern Plunderers' Rings.
The uniceholders Kings.
When we add to the above the j
"piece biigade," who support any-
who insist on continuing the war
againt the South for the sake of
revenge and at the expense of the
ft hole country, we have enumerated
Grant's entire strength. We do
not believe that the good people of
the country will unite with the
mercenary horde. They recognize
the fact that the country needs
peace, and that the only true road
to complete pacification lies in a
resort to even-handed justice and
the restoration of equal rights to
j all sections of the country, which
can only be secured by the election
of Greeley, and from their hearts
tIie' cry aloud, "Let us have

In the campaign this fall,

can the Democrats be placed on

A Great Uprising in Massachusetts.
Those wise men in the East who
thought that the nomination of Mr.
Greeley at Baltimore would drivel
off both Republicans and Demo-
j crats from supporting him, says a

Greeley go on day and night by
shoals. The Custom-House folks ,!
' !
the Grant State Committee, anil
the Uoston editors who have pooh
poohed the anti-Grant movement
are now thoroughly frightened, for
they find their party exceedingly
shaky. Senator Wilson is under
stood to intimate that all depends
on Xorth Carolina if that State
goes for Grant then he is sure of
re-election ; if not, then the country
is xoini to be ruined right away,
lie is going down to make a lew
speeches in the "Old Xorth State"'
himself, contrary to his past inten
tion to make his first stump orations
in Pennsylvania and Indiana. The
sooner he goes the less he will get
mixed up in Butlers schemes, wliieh
will depend largely upon Wilson
for their sued
am

will come to
a head within the next two weeks,
unless all signs fail. It is not ex
pected here that Charles Sumner
will take the stump against Grant
in Xorth Carolina, but he will cer
tainly have an opportunity in
Faneuil Hall when he comes home,
to tell his constituents what he
thinks about Greeley and Grant.
The Greeley movement here, as
well as in States further West, is
fast taking the form of a great pop
ular uprising not a noisy and
singing one, like that of 18-10, but
a quiet and sustained political rev
olution. The men that are now

their !( it's on to i he ( ires-lev ranks
is fast making the election doubt fid
in this part of the State. The I Jos
tun city govermcnt, in all its polit
ical diversity, goes almost unani
mously against Grant, it is said,
and very largely for Greeley. In
Xew lied ford the Republican city
committee is touched with the
t
j Ciecie' infection, and in every
town lucre is more or less oi n.
Mr. Sumner's hesitation in pronoun
cing for Greeley docs something to
hold back many who would other
wise join the GreeJey party at once;
but it is so plain that he will event
ually go that way that the progress
of the revolution is not much im
peded. There are rumors of changes
among prominent Grant men.
General Ranks, for example, is said
j to be shaky, (lie has since that date
come out for Greeley aim mown,)
but most of t lie con versions hit hert o
Kl,.c beon 1Vom tlQ inj(idle rank of
the party.
The Grant I'umiSy Influence.
The personal organs of the Philadelphia
nominee, says the Exniainf-r. art; always
extremely careful hi replying to ihe
charge of their mas'er's nepoti-m. to state
that he has appointed only thirteen rela
tives to ofiiee. It is not the number of
his relatives in office, that marks tbe enor
mity of the offence he lias committed in his
system of appointments. The Cincinnati
C;nfuirciu!,n paper which is unexception
al ly well-informed on the subject of ihe
Grant family itifinence.states that it would
be hard to obtain a perfectly reliable and
complete H-t of the relatives appointed to
office by Grant. He has but one ielative
in the vicinity of Cincinnati --his venera
ble father but three' fourths d the im
portant Federal ofiices in that and adja
cent cities and tliiri;ts were appointed
directly through the Grant family influ
ence, or the personal favoritism of the
Presidcnt himself. There was not a mem
ber of the Grant family, male or female,
who did not have appointments made ac
eon.iag to I heir pleasure, and there was
not one of the family who ever seemed to
think there was anything strange or pecu
liar about their interference with appoint
ments and meddling with lh public, bu-d
ness. The President himself, when pressed
by ail the influential Republicans iu the
Covington district to re-appoint Col.
Raukiu Assessor. (Rankin had been re
moved for relusirg to Johnson ie). ended
the matter perU cuy to his own s a:;tac!ioii

Wki.l Pit. The Xuw York
Citizen and Round Table puts the
case between Grant and Greeley
very properly and truthfully as
follows :
It is a common charge with the oppon
ents ol Horace Greeley to say that lie is
supported by disreputable pel sons. We
never saw hat there was much force in
i his argument, as a candidate cannot help
who supports him. nor change the charac
ters of Ihosit who vo'e for him. Nor do we
believe I hat hail' as many rogues will sus
tain the philosopher ( I Chapp ojua. whose
personal integrity is well kuouii. as wiii
Hilly aiouiul the present incumbent of the
While lie use, whoe want of that same
quality is equally notorious. Rut it is no'
a question so much of who snppotts Gro;
ley, but of whom Grant supporis. Sup
pose some rogues do stand by Greeley.
Gran' stands by the rogues.
This is a true statement of the
case. One W. A. ibitton, U. S.
Marshal of the Western District of
Arkansas, was a defaulter to the
amount of 121,000. He was dis
missed from office without punish
ment, lie was succeeded by a
man named Roots, but since Grant
became a candidate for re-eleci ion,
Roots has been removed and IJrit
ton re-appointed. So it is seen that
Grant docs stand bv the rogues.
C rant's 1 coord.
The Grant Republicans have a great
deal to say about Greeley's lil'e l jng re
publicanism but '.hey are silent concern

The former views of t-eher have nothing

not h-ss than one tldtd of she Republi
can vote will be given lo Greeley and
frown The revolution in the northern
tier of counties promises to be more sweep
ing than it was fn JSGfi in the Fremont
cunpaign. General J. Moorhead. long a
Repunlictti Congressman from .Vb'gha

as an intieoendetn caadhi tie for Congress

stumper iu the Western counties, will soon

Stewart, torn e ly member of Congress
for Mercer, a id one of he mo t iuliueti
tial Republicars iti the West, is out in a
letter for Greeley. Ex-Senators Landoti
and Mason of llradf nil county have also
declared (of Greeley, and neatly all the
leading Republicans of Crawford county,
including a majority ot the Republican
county officers, have openly espoused the
Liberal eauo.

New York is not being slow, but is be
coming a perfect stampede. The leading
E:dical papers are changing, and new
