LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1572.

The Grait men and their organs are wonderfully exercised about Demoorats and the Democratic party. In | one breath they say that if Democrats support Greeley the time -honored Democratic party will be disorganized and destroyed beyond hope of resur~ rection ; and with the very next breath they tell Liberal Republicans if they vote for Greeley the Democratic party will be restored to power and will have full control of the administration.— Take the statement in either light and it not only makes the- Grantites ap~' pear very ridiculous but it shows that they are terribly frightened over the situation, It is really amusing to see these anxious partiégn’; assume to be the keepers of people’s consciences, but we presume it is all accounted for from the evident fact that they have no conscience of ‘their own ; if they had, they surely could not support and defend the rascalities of Grant and his ‘thiéving rings. “For the life of them ‘they cannot see how a Democrat can support Greeley,” and then they produce a Grant paper and read some ex-~ tract, taken from the N, Y. T'ribune of years ago—perhaps Greeley wrote it and perhaps he did not; he might have been traveling in Europe or California. at the time the article appeared in his paper, but it is supposed this will arouse the prejudice of the Democrat and cause him to repudiate the candidate of his party. They then turn to a Liberal Republican and ‘ read an extract from some Democratic i paper or speech, and then, “for theEl lite of them they cannot see how any Republican can support Thos. A. Hendricks,” and thus their patriotic souls are kept in constant trouble. ’Tis very sad ; but we can assure the disinterested patriots that both Democrats and Liberal Republicans are fully competent to judge for themselves, and they have fully determined to accept General Amnesty in its broadest sense, and will “let the dead past bury its dead.” - This sentiment will be applied to all local questions and differences, and the motto, “reconeiliation, peace and good will,” will be the watchword pf the combined Liberal hosts. - We accept the advice of Mr. Hendricks and to use his language :— “We have turned our backs on the past—we stand in the present and look to the future. The past is lost to us—the future is ours, let us make it a glo-. rious one.” L i

It is sad- indeed to see how melancholy it makes the Radicals feel to think of the “ignominious but voluntary death of the Democratic party.” They shed bitter tears over this “abandonment of prineciple” and don’t see how Democrats could go and do such a thing. Poor fellows! But why should they feel so bad and blubber so loud ? Surely they did not entice us to nominate Greeley ; they were singuarly unanimous in their opposition to such a course and even went so far as to spend large sums of money to secure the attendance of anti ' Greeley mep at Baltimore. But it ¥aq all of no avail. .Greeley was nominated, and if anybodyis “ruined” it is not their fault; we advise them to dry their tears ; they are not apprecjated. They should reserve their most affecting sobs for they will need them to express their own feelings when Greeley is elected. ; :

The only Indiana Democrat Whose name figures in the insignificant little attempt to get up a bolters convention at Baliimore is one Peter Kiser, of Allen County. Peter is probably a fair representative of the men engaged in this feeble attempt to divide the Democratic party of the Nation, and what his influence will be may be judged from the fact that he writes Peter Kiser with an “X” and cannot tell a letter of the Alphabet from a grease spot on the floor of his dirty little. grocery at Ft. Wayne.. We know . Peter, and know he is a bag of the poorest and filthiest kind of gas.— He commands no influence at home, and his ignorance, superstition and self-estéem make him the laughing stock of the community in which he lives. Many call him crazy, but most people call him a fool. .

It is now believed to be a fixed fact that W.C. DePauw has decided that he will not accept the candidacy for Lient. Governor. In this event we are unqualifiedly in favor of the nomination of Hon. John Brownfield to fill the vacancy, Mr. Brownfiield is the man above all others whose names have been mentioned in this conneetion who will fill Mr, DePauw’s place to the satisfaction of all the people of the State, He holds a very similar position in all the relations of life to that of the. declining candidate; and his fitness for the s office is unquestioned. He would sterngthen our party, and the north part of the State will go heart and soul for Brownfield.— Laporte Argus. te

: v Singular Statistics. - Some curious facts concerning the conditions of life in the human race, and in what manner, situation, circumstances and occupation govern it, have been brought to light by the examination of statistics by M, Bertillon and M. Quetiet, It has been ascertained ‘that in Germany theologians and military men live much longer than physicians. Also, from statistics carefully collected in France, Holland and Belgium, it has been discovered that in ten years the death rate of married and unmarried men has been identical ; while during the same period among women, the rate was one~third in favor g married women ; the relative ages f both sexes being the same, from thirty to thirty-five years, Again taking widows and widowers under the. same circumstances, the mortality was almost one~fourth greater among the the widowers than widows, It also Froved by these *‘things which cannot lie,” that a very poor man has only one-half" the chances of life that a rich cae has. Amongother developments § that between the ages of twenty- ¢ and twenty-five men have deuble the tendency to steal and be dishonest than they have between thirty and forty. ~With regard to suicides by hanging, this resource shows that the majority of cases occur between six and eight o'clock in the morning.— There are comparatively few at midday, while before night they increase, until they amount to five-sixths of the number who commit self~destruetion in the earlier part of the day.

* ‘Superfluous Flesh. Not long ago a gentleman of threescore, who had hardly ever been sick in his life, thought he was too fleshy and began to Bantamize. He succeeded famously, and boasted to his friends that he had got rid of ten pounds in a few weeks. A little later he was attacked with a painful and dangerous malady, from which he had been suffering more'than a year. If a man can sleep soundly, has a good appetite, with no unpleasant reminders after meals, the bodily habits being regular every day, he had better leave himself alone, whether he is as big as a hogshead or as thin and dry as a fence rail. Several cages of Bright’s disease have been reported by medical men of reputation as a direct result of prac~ ticing Bright'’s plan fer getting lean.The very best and safest way to get rid of fat is to work it off. This may be aided by eating food which containg a large amount of carbon. Nitrogen food is that which gives strength, power to work, as lean meats ; carbonaceous foods are those which make fat, such as cheese, potatoes, rice, corn, peas, beans, tapioca, arrow-root, corn~ starch, mijlk, sugar, syrup and all eily and fat food. Raw fruit and berries, laygely eaten, are great aids in reducing weight. But, after all, the great reliance should be on exercise and work in the open air. Barclay, the great English pedestrian, who perform-ed-greater feats than Weston, lost ten pounds in two or three days’ walking and was never the worse for it.— Hall’s Journal of Health.

How to Get Plenty of Eggs. Dwight, of Hudson Michigan, writes to the Germantown Telegraph : “I fed: my hens plenty of corn and got but few eggs. Ireasonedwupon the matter, and happeued to think that the con-~ stituennt parts of milk and the whites of eggs were much alike. Now, it has long been known to milk men that wheat middlings and bran are about the best of any feed to make a cow give milk ; why not, the best to make the hens lay eggs? I tried it, and gince then have had no trouble. My mode of preparing the food is to mix about five parts of the bran with one of middlings. In the morning I mix up with water about four quarts of the mixture in a large tin pan, taking pains to have it rather dry, though all damp. This I set in a warm, sunny spot, south of their shed, and they walk up, take a few dips, don’tseem to like it like corn, and start off on a short hug# for something better, but always coming round _in a short time for a few.dips from the dish of bran. There is but little time during the day but what one or more are standing by the pan and freely helping themselves. At night just before they repair to roost, I usually throw them about a pint of shelled corn, well scattered so that each can get a few kernels, I would like all who complain of not getting eggs to try my plan, and I think they will never be sorry.”. -

... Stood it Till he Got Mad. - The Detroit Free Press relates an incident which occurred on the return of an excurgion party from that city. Soon after the boat left Toledo, the steward was approached by an excited individual, who asked him if he was the Captain. The steward replied in the negative, at the same time giving his rank. - “Have you the power to put a man out of the cabin ?”’ inquired the stran- ) : . ge“Well, yes, if he’s disorderly, I have,” replied thesteward. “Well, gir, look in here and see them, will yon ?” gaid the stranger, leading said official round to the door. The- steward looked npon the motley group and replied that he saw nothing out of the way. “You don’t ¢h? Don’t you see a man in there embracing a woman “Well’ yes,” relpliedf the ‘steward, “but what of that ¥ Hasn’t a fellow ‘a right to embrace his wife ; ~ “That's what 1 want you to run him out for,”” replied the stranger, dancing around “that’s my wife, and T'vestood it so long thatl've got mad!”

THE VOICE OF AN OLD PATRIOT. Speech of Gen .James Shield§. | Most of our resders are doubtless§amiliar with the history of that staunch (Eld patriot, Gen. Fames Shields, now of ‘M}sj souri. It will be remembered that he was an early settler of Illinois, which State he represented with marked ability in the Congress of the United States, Though well advanced in years, his patriotic nature prompted bim to enter the army for the supression of the rebellion, in which position he rendered gallant service. An Irishman by birth, he nobly sustains the reputation of that race as possessing some of the most powerful speakers that ever addressed the people. -’ Gen. Shields attended the recent State Convention of the Liberal Republicans and Democrats of Illinois. He took a lively interest in its proceedings, and seemed to be perfectly overcome with joy over the union effected at Springfield. The nomination of Judge Kceiner for Governor was particularly gratifying tosthe noble old patriot. Kcerner and Shields grew up together as young men, and were law partners for many years, After the adjournment of the Springfield convention, the General was called ‘out to make & speech, - He responded in his usual happy style, and after paying a high compliment to Gov. Karner, proceeded to discuss national affairs in the following manner : 3 :

We know of a man who went into a very high office in this country as poor as any ot us, but who, by the manipulation ot that office, is now one of the richest men 1n this country. You know lam a Democrat.. I have been a Democrat all my life, and let me tell you, my friends, I ‘think alittle more of the old democratic party to-night than I ever did in my life. The party that could stand ‘under the deluge of calumny that has been poured down on that party forthe past ten years, has a lease of life that will endure forever. [Applause and laughter.] And I will tell you more: a party that could live under such leadership as-we have had stands a good chance of living forever on that ground.. [Renewed applanse.] And let me say here tonight—and I don’t mean to cast a reflection on my republican friends—that taking away public patronage, taking away all those extrinsic influences that sustain a party, that the democratic party of America is now the most powerful organization as a political body on God Almighty’s earth. [Ap--‘plause.] In spite of all those influences don’t you know, don’t we all know, that with great leaders the democratic party is always omnipotent. Don’'t you know that with bad leaders, which we have had. for ten years, even then it is formidable ? Now we are undertaking to make a fight without any leaders, and I undertake to say that that party will make the best fight made in this State for years, It will' put forth a strength that will not only bewilder our opponents but overwhelm Gen. Grant and his executive pretorian. That party now says to its opponents: “Select your best men—give us honest men, men of integrity, that the. country can rely upon, and we will ask none of your offices, no political power, but will only seek to help you, gentlemen Repub-. licans, to save your country. [Loud applause.] What party has ever exhibited such a spectacle of disinterestedness as this? You may call it passive policy, but I say it is a sublime, disinterested, magnanimous American policy. [Applause.] We say, take the offices, the patronage and the power, and give us back the constitution ; give us;back honest government, and turn every rascal from Maine to Texas out of office. ¢ Well, then, you have brought out and given to the breeze the republican flag—the same that was unfurled at' Cincinnati; Gentlemen, that is not our flag ; that is not the democratic flag: That is the re- | publican flag, a real, genuine, clean, republican flag. Thkere is not a blot or taint upon its virgin folds as yet. Well, we can fly that flug, and we mean to, and in flying it we mean to work out those | great reforms which are now so necessary for the country. Thisis the republican standard ; but, gentl2men, it isa standard that every honest man.in America canrally around, to put down corruptionists and proscriptionists all over the country, [cheers] and we have given that standard to old Horace Greeley, [tremendous applause] the representative workingman - of all America. Horace, Greeley.is no Democrat. He is the very incarnation of republicanism. I don’t believe the old . man intentionally ever breathed a democratic thought in his whole life. [Laughter.] God knows I thought ho was the last man in America I ever could be coaxed to vote for. But Horace Greeley is an honest man ; hehas made pledges and he .will keep those pledges. [A. voice, “You are right there.”] 'He is just as good ‘a man as there is in all America to do the work that 1s now before him. Why, no man in this country has fought the democratic party like Horace Greeley.. He helped break us down; in fact; he did it. And if there isany credit due him for it, he built this republican’ party up. - He was the father and he ,was the mother of the party, &laughter] and while it was in the hands of such men as Greeley, and Lincoln, and Charles Sumner, I must say it was a respectable kind of & party.. But look at it now! Why old Horace Greeley has become 80 ashamed of the party that he wants to bury it and get it out of the way. . j Perhaps many of you kmew Governor Bill Kinney. He wasa good old man. He is now dead, and I have a solemn hope that his soul is in heaven. He bought a blooded mare one year, and he determin. ed to have the best colt in America ; lbut the mare met with an accident, and when | the colt eame it 'was about the ugliest and. most hideous looking mule ever seen. The old man went into the field, and he saw the mule, and he was astonished ; but I tell you he wasn’t half-as much astonished as the mare herself. [Laughter.] The mare saw what an ugly thing it was, ‘and she kicked up her heels, jumped over the fence, and no one could get her to acknowledge thatmule. Now Horace Greeley is a good deal like that old mare; [Roars ‘of laughter and applause.] he ‘wanted tobave a blooded colt, too. When Horace Greeley bryught forth that republican part,. I must acknowledge that it then had a_dash of blood.in it, but since it got into the hands of Grant and his ring there has been a change. Do. ‘you know what kind of a ring that is? Well they are a eh-ﬁbgiset—,&lz-:adang;@u ; them Republicans, and indeed it is al--E‘;? g:nin:to call them m@gﬁm best among them are remegade Dem)crats, and the balaace are old broken. down K‘“W&“&W& ‘anti-Masons, and the remnants o ‘g% “ : existed in America for filty years past. @ migerable, mean, lank, ugly mule colt,

Greeley’s Second Acceptance, - In reply to Mr. Doolittle's speech, ‘notifying'him of his nomination at Baltimore, Mr, Greeley said: & MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE CONVENTION : - I shall require time to consider how to re—ply fitly to the very important and, I need not say, ‘gratifying communication that you have presented to-me. - It may be that I should present in writing some reply to this. However, as I addressed the Liberal- Convention of Cincinnati in a letter somewhat widely considered, it is,perhaps, unnecessary that I should make any formal reply to the communication ‘made other than to'say that T accept your nomination and accept gratefully with it the spirit in which it has been presented. My position is one which many would ‘eonsider a proud one, which, at ‘the same time, is embarrassing, because it subjects me to temporary—l trust only temporary—misconstruction on-the part of some old and lifelong friends. I feel assured that time only is necessary to yindicate not only the disint(é:stedness, but the patriotism of the course which I determined to pursue, which I had determined oncdong before I bad received s 6 much, sympathy angifsupv port as has so .unexpectedly to me beenbestowed upon me. 1. feel ‘certain. that time and in the good providence of God ah .opportunity will be afforded me to show that while you, in making this nomination, are not less democratic but rather more democratic [great applause] than you would have been. -had you taken an opposite course, ‘that lam no less thoroughly and earnestly republican than ever I was. But these matters require grave consideration before I should make anything that se¢ms a formakresponse. lam not much-acustomed to réceiving nominations for the Presidency: [laughter] and cannot make responses so fluently as some others might'do! [Great laughter.] , T can only say| that T hope some or allof you, if you can make it convenient, will come to. my humble farmer home, where I shall be glad to meet all of you, and where we can. conyerse more freely and deliberately than we'can here, and where I'shall be glad td make you welcome—well,..to the besttfhe farm affords.

A Great Popular Leader, = . Gen, Durbin Ward, who is one of the leading Democrats of Ohio, and who did not at fitst feel very enthusiastic over the nomination'éf Greeley, a few weeks after the Cincinnati Convention wrotea lengthy letter, endorsing the Liberal ticket, which closesasfoflows: -~ oL

There is still another thing fo be said of Greeley. "He may have his weaknesses, his yagaries, as wio has not ? - But he is, nevertheless, and has been for a genera: tion, a great popular: leader. He is a great thinker, wrong-headed sometimes, right-hearted aiways. Sometimes the pulsations of his heart are so strong as to disturb the equilibrium of his bedd, but his failings always ledn to virtue’s side, He is every way a man of work, strong in nature, thoughttul, bonest, temperate, industrious.. One of. the people, too, is he. Ever urgent for their interests, ever advising them to higher aims, ever pointing them to the paths of -industry and fre—gality; ever conjoining’ them to virtue. He has always been thefriend of the weak and the poor. From his door the needy are not turned unaided away, nor does he refuse the humble advice and ' counsel. What weigh his little quoibles against virtues like these? Of late years great leaders are rarely made President. Since. Jackson no man of: equal character, save one, has occupied the White House. - Let the Democracy then, forgetting the past, have magnanimity enough- to nominate, for the sake of the country, the boldest and bitterest opponent, and ardently sup: port him, and they will . not only achieve success; but have the gl‘dry of once more restoring peace audfraternal confidence to all sections of the country. lln doing 80 we &re not called upon to make any abandonment'of our principles or of our organization. We.but move to the front with the march of events and meet the issues of the day ag they arise, instead of lingering in the graveyard of the past to wrangle over the epitaphsof “dead issues.” - Very respectfully,- .

e . TEE LIBERAL MOVEMENT. , Senator Bayard in Favor of Greeley ! and Brown. e The following letter has been addressed by Senator Bayard, of Delaware, to a friend in that State : : . v ' My DEAR Siß:—The peremptory orders of physicians compel me to obtain absolute rest and quiet,;and for this purpose, to leave the country.; My passage has been engaged, and I .shail sail for - Europe on Saturday, the 13th inst. Al. though unfitted'by 10y condition of health, I felt it to be my duty togo to Baltimore as a delegate to the conventien, and it is in relation to the action of that -body.that I wish a few words with you, }and,; threugh you, to my other party ‘friends in Delaware, before I leave. I ‘need not say to you or to thefn with what - astonishment and disapptintment I heard - of the nomination of Greciey and Brown _at Cincinnati, nor how steadily and open. Iy I have at all times expressed mySelt in opposition- to the adoptic:: of thnit ticket by the democratic party at Baltimore. But the result has been accomplished, however, much against ourwill and efforts, and it is cur duty calmg and - steadily, to confront the tact nOWw pre-

sented to our eyes. - s o If the issues of the campaign were those ‘only of revenue reform, of civil service reform, questions in which pecuniary loss or gain to the public were in‘yrolvgd, T might be willing to take no.part in the Presidential contest, but ullow the demoralizing course pursued by Grant and his administration to.be continued four | years longer, trusting that the very extent and flagitiots nature of the notorious abuses would in themselves 80 antruct’_ the people that they would recdil from placing further trust in such hands. : The natural capsclties of the soil and climate of our country, together with the. industry and energy of our people, ‘ren. der the production of wealth (mere wealth) almost boundless, and we can ali most afford to bear the results of financial blunders, and, so long as they are confin‘éd to official-circles, of public robberies and peculations, provided we can in the ‘end buy our experience through the usual methods of loss and suffering. But, severe and painful though these abuses'and their, conscquences may be, they weigh, to me lightly, compared to the destruction of all the limitations upon power which our written constitutiomof government was designed to create, and which Gen. Grant and those who assist him in administering the government, including the radi_cal majorities in both Houses of Congress, seem either totally disregarded, or, ‘as I have sometimes thought, to take a scornful pleasure in trampling under

foob: =1 : v - It is utterly impossible for me, with the scenes which I have witnessed in the Senate of the United States rising betore my eyes, not to feel the gravest apprehen- . sions and alarm at any prospect or . suggestion of allowing the policy of Grant and his administration towvard the Southern States .and their .white“'"iihhabitants longer to continue, if any honorable act of mine can tend to avert so greaf a calamity. 4 ' Can any man justly deny that-the‘con-dition of'the peop._leﬂ‘i'n the Rhenish provinces, torn from France by the armed hand of Germany, 18 preferable to-day in all that protects person and property, to that of the white people in many of the Southern States under the governments which Congress has set up over them un - der the so called system of reconstruction, and which Graat has upheld either by threats of the bayonet or its actual presence in those communities? He and\?is‘ party have stood by for the last three years and have-seen the South-robbed, insulted, and almost beggared by a motley crew, all of hislown political party of un- - principled political adventurers from the. North, and ignorant and vicious negroes . ‘of the native population, and bave uttered no word of disappreval, but, on the con- | trary, have from.time to time lent the military power of the government (as in the cases of the troops sent upon applica. tion of Governor Holden, of North Carolina ;of -Scott, of South Carolina, or his own brother.in-law, Casey, in New Or—leans) to maintain in power those lapacious and dishonest rulers whom the sufferings and discontent of theirgpeople ‘were threatening to eject from effice and power. SR R ~ Now, whether T 'approve Mr. Greeley personally or no, whether he had or not been the stea@y and violent opponent of the political 'principles and measures: which you and I have been upholding all our lives, yet if it has become, with or. against our action or wishes, the most. likely or practical means of restoring a better condition of feeling in-the North toward the South; and restoring security and justice to that oppressed region, [ should feel- myself as an American, with. out regard to the name of thé party, but without the sacrifice of any conviction in relation to _my political principles, com-. . -pelled to assist in placing him in power. : - T say nothing now of his qualifications or personal fitness for the place; I have spoken ‘of them heretofore, and against my wishes and judgment the representa . tives of the party have placed him incan‘didazy. If there wasany practical means “of clecting a man better fitted for the ~ place, and one whose political career has - “been in harmony with your views and . mine, I need not say to'you that I should strive:to see such a one chosen; but the crrent of a popular opinion.in this vast’ country takes strange and oftentimgs un: ' toward directions, and. for good or ill
