But at length, tho vaults were opened and the Wash iogt on Lions were let out of the. 'j 1 dens , and scattered all over the con-' j-y. and went about like Roarin g Li. , ns Indeed , seeking whom they could devour. Tho Bulls. Bears and H yenas , all chimed in with the King * cabinet. Sectarianism blinded tho cl ergy, and gold and office the peop le , for almost all the clergy sympathised with tho very pion s Gen 'l Grant; and even since the election I understand that one of our clergymen was thankin g God in his pul p it , a Sunday or two ago , for the g lorious res ults of tho elec tion , and that the country had been saved from the dreadful consequences of an admini stra- tion defeat—This may be good taste , iu the estimation of some , but so far as my perception s go , it is in very bad taste . in a promiscous audience. It may p lens . a few small specimens of humanit y, who know enoug h to say \dorc Head , \ but to thinkiug . and reasoning men , it is both mean and di sgujting. L. F. Terry , Editor &Proprietor Editor T b ave l zr \What a queer world we live in , and what a queer Be* of bein gs inhabit it! When Horace Greel y was nominated for Presid ent at Cip ' cinatti , and renomi na- ted at Baltimore , if the election had been hold three weeks thereafter , ic is quite evident that ho would have swept almost all tho states , This spontaneous /tilin g seemed to tako stron g hold of the mail—here , the people manifested the natural impulse of their own inter- tern -kl convictions. The Wire Pullers , Office seekers &c , Ac , hud not yet began to buy up the miserable creatures who are always in tho market , waiting for the hi g hest bid—and so long as tho peop le wore left to their own convictions uninfluenced by desi gning men , so \ ng tho appearances looked favorable for Greeley. From this we sit; bow much reliance can be p laced in tho peop le , who are surrounded by such tremendous influ- ences , as they were , durin g th i canvass and yet , I think there are hundreds aud thousands who voted the admini stration ticket , honest , as the world calls honesty, ¦ who will ever have qualms of con- scince for havin g done so , Party, sect , money, office and i gno- rance , are powerful agents to influence the Ballot. As tho writ er does not hap- pen to thin ] that all tho wisdom reside s within the breasts of tho majorit y, ho submits to its will , with as much p hilos- ophy as he is capable of , aud is not wil- ling to admit that the masses are not honest , but it is quite evident in this case , that there is a grant want of devel- opment —and yet , I am not so much afraid of i gnorance in the masses , as the lack of princi p le in the more enli ghtened classes , so called -who , too often , act up- on princi p les of party and soctarion pol- icy, ri ght or wron g. I am aware that human nature is the same in all parties »nd classes of people , but there is a wonderful differenc e in their developo- mcct, The man who can look facts and princi ples in the face , and who is com- peten t to call to his aid honest and im- partial jud gement , as between tho two candidates , Grant and Greel ey, cannot avoid the conclusion that tho tnste of the poop lo . as evinced iu tho election , is pec- uliar . to say the leost.Thc position of those two men , reminds mo of an anecdote I once rood concerning two Doctors in Kngland , substantiall y as follows—One •n old well train ed resident of tho p lace whore ho lived , in whoso skill and learn- ing, tho peop le at largo , confided , had long acted as the sole raodijal praction er at length a Sand y Quack settled in the nei g hborhood , and drovo furio usl y, and often , throu gh the streets , in his sp len- did carriage , bein g seeming ly pressed with business—tho masses of tho peop le , being captivated with tho equi page of tbo young Quack , and looking, as is too often tho ease , at tho surface of things , began to d tjort tbo old Doctor , who went on foot to see his patients , with his saddle bags on his arm , and employed tho young Doctor pretty generall y— at length n gentleman in company with tho old Doctor , asked him how it hap- pened that ti i o people so generall y pat- ronized tiio quack , and neglected him whoso reputation as a skillful p h ysician wns well settled? says tho Doctor I will toll you how it is , 1st , however , please look out of tho window and count one hundred persons as they pass along in tho street , after counting tho hundred , tho old Doctor asked him , how many, or what pro portion of the hundred ho had counted , ho eonsidorod wise mon? the answer was perhaps tonj well , snys tho Doctor , thin Quack gats tho ninet y, and I got tho ten. Dr. Grant drives fast horses , smokes good si'gars. and is elected presiden t b y a lar ge majority—and Dr , Greeley in nt homo, with a quiet conscience ; ho h its not only maintained his own self respect and manhood , but was uovor more re- spected b y those w ' ao nro capable of ap- preciating truo greatness , tlum now. Grant known that every out throat , and every scoundrel , outside of tho stn tos prison , voted for him , m i d if ho has nny nensibllity hi d reflection * oaimot be very cot ) soling, Tli© Traveler: There is nothing good in th o Repub- lican part y, that did not aninato from such men us Horace Greel ey, indeed to him alone shouldhc - attributed a large share—Nor has he ever compr omised his honor , or .4 solitary princi p le and yet no man wns ever uiore '\bused slandered or treate d w ith more 'ngratii ude , b y a class tf men , who owe him moro + .han the : will ever b« abl d to pay—the cry of \Crucif y him ,\ \Crucif y him , \ w.is echoed , and reechoed by many small mind ed editorials , and damning insin- uations. The truth is , this world has almost always crucified itu saviors , and so I suppose it ever will be till mankind become more developed. If I thank God for any act of my life , it is that I have been privileged to east my vote for Horace Greeley, for if I had stood clone I would have done th e same. Liberal Itep ublict-n.

The same holds true in the present— Bonner has; bis Doxt-r , John Harper his Lexing ton and our Town Clerk has his Bob—of tho latter—n ot onr Town Clerk but Bob—wo propose ti> speak in truth- ful words of merited praise. He needs no words to illumine the glory that sheds its br i g htness over the record of his well spent life. His virtues wore modest ; he al\ . ays took his hay and oats without grumbling thereby impress ing us with the stoi n practicalit y of his noble nature. His appetite was small ; he was temper ate and abstemious in all his habits. Bob was fleet footed even as tbu far famed coursers of the Arabian deserts How often have we seen Bob and our Town Clerk go throug h our streets at li g htning speed and how many time s in thair i\npetuous career hav. -> small child- ren on the streets escaped thum. onl y by a hairs breath. We call to mind at this mom en t with painfu l distinctnesss the onl y ride we ever hadbehind him. It was in -ompany with the .sedato J uoticc • -onr Town Clerks brother— who held tho reins over the firey steed and our speed was fri g ht- ful— -we were ten minutes or an hour and ten[minate s—we wont be sure which —in going to Peconic. Bob was rich in years and tho heaves but he had mat .aged heretofore to main- tain a wheezy and quite comfot table ex- istence until tho recent advent of the terribl a op izoo t io. When that fell cquino scourg e came ho became cno of its earliest victims. He has for severul days held up manfull y against the disease striving b y his forti- tude to cheer and comfort our almost heart broken Town Clerk. We fear howovor from the latest details of his , condition that have reached us tha t poor Bob' s days are nearl y number ed.

In closing we would remark that we somt'timos smoke and that wo are vain enoug h to oosider this notice worth a ten cent ci gar even if old Bob was not Dear Mr , Town Clerk will you allow our sympath y to go unrewarded ' ' 1 Mr. Charles Tillingba st has just re- ceived a nother lot of the Home Sowin g Machines.
