Secretaries of the Convention.
The New York Post, in referring to
the Greeley-Weed controversy, is not
delicate in its comparisons. It says,
"two stout and frowzy viragos abusing
each other in the street, do not make
i a delectable sight for respectable men
or women; indeed, the spectacle is
one to make a decent man blush that
?e belongs to tlic same species with
taem. Yet the flaming eyes, the nasty
words, the matted locks and ragged
clothing, the whole aspect of rage; and
fiuy have a charm for the more brutal
pars of mankind, who cry on the com?
batants, and are the more delighted
the forcer their rage and the more
duna ?ag their blows. The sutlers
and t\mp-followers of Grant's army
might s well claim to have led it, as
these fejows claim tf> have lcd the na?
tion. 'lAioy marched with it-that if
true-buVfhoy often grumbled at thc
General, tod' their chief occupation
was to pie-Vip the crumbs that wert
dropped by^he fighting men."
Judge Hovard, Democratic candi
date for the ??overnorship ot Maine
says: \
"The respect ye States are the pil
lars on which tty structure of the Ge
neral Governmei* rests, and as thes>
are weakened or destroyed, the struc?
ture must totter V foll. The per
sonal, social and poetical rights of al
must be guarded ?ad protected, bu
these rights are to bondjusted, mainly
by the respective States, leaving tb
General Government Bupreme witlii
its sphere." \
NN-^
"I am not, and never Lave been, i
favor of making voters or jurors t
negroes, nor of qualifyiny them t
hold offices or to intermarry with th
white people; and I will sayyin add
tion to this, that there is atohysie
difference between the white ai\d blat
races, which I believe will forev-r fo
bid the two races living together e;
terms of social and political eqndit,
And inasmuch as they cannot so \\
while they do remain together t\*
must be the position of superior a^
inferior; and I, as much as any otb
man, am in fayer of having the snj
rior position assigned to the wh
race, to which I belong."
