WASHINGTON, August 8.-Senator
Sumner was the r?cipient of a large
number of letters, and telegrams from
all sections of the country, heartily con
gtatulating him for the stand taken by
him in his letter. Most of these letters
were written on Wednesday, as soon as
the writers bad perused bis letter to the
colored people. From a large number of
Massachusetts Republicans, he has re?
ceived a telegram congratula tic g him,
and he has reason to believe tbat othti
prominent men in his State will soon
follow the example of Gen. Banka and
announce their support of Greeley and
Brown. Mr. Sumner says he cannot
doubt that tbs feeling of the country for
Greeley and Brown will assume the form
of a great revolution, whioh will sweep
the country as it has not been swept for
years by a. political. party. He looke
upon the nomination of Grant at Phila?
delphia as-quite providential. Pr o vi
dence, he says,.Was wiser than any of the
foliticians or public men of the country,
f any other man than Grant had been
nominated, the Republican party would
have stood solid and united as before,
Then the Demoorats would have-made a
straight-out nomination, and the bitter?
ness and hostility of years would still
have, been kept up.. By Grant's nomina?
tion, however, many of the beet men ol
the Republican party were driven off,
and they, uniting with the Demoorats,
formed a party whose central idea wai
reconciliation and peaoe, a recognition OJ
the' rights of all men before the law; ssc
ah Obliteration of the bitter lines tbai
have divided the different seotions of th?
country since the. war. He is very hope
ful pf the result, and does not see wba
possible chance there is for Grant's re
election? <

President Grant, that Shot well, one <
the North Carolina men, is defiant an
?corns pardon, and is studying la\
Mr. Smith, however, suggests these pa

the election, as it might be thought th
-clemency was prompted by interest?
motives. The letter is quite short, at
so ouriously written that the entire fon
of exports in the Attorney-Genera!
office was required to put it in shap
that Grant would be able to master i

Nothing, either through private i
regular channels, comes to obange tl
probable saooess of the Conservatives :
North Carolina, as far as heard from,

the Democratic vote in 1870. At mi
night, Saturday, sixty-three Conn ti
show a Republican gain of 1,550 ov
the vote of 1870. A later despatch stat
that seventy-one Connies give Caldw
a Republican gain of 2,737 votes on
the vote of 1870, leaving 2,268 to
overcome by Republicans in the remai
ing twenty-one Counties.

the State by from 1,500 to 2,500 ma
rity, There is still intense interest :
in the result, as the Democrats aro si
to believe in a victory until the fad

WASHINGTON, August 5, 1872.-DEAR
SIB: I have seen tho letter addressed to
me by you, through the public print?,
and I notice especially that while ani?
madverting Upon my support of Horaoe
Greeley, you say not one word in vindi?
cation of that compound of pr?tentions
known as Grantism, in contradistinction
to Republicanism, which you would in?
stall anew in the Government. Yon are
greatly concerned about the oompany I
keep. To quiet yoar solicitude, I beg
leave to say that in joining the Republi?
cans, who brought forward an original
Abolitionist, I find myself with so many
others devoted to the canse I have served
always; that I had not missed yon, until
you hastened to report absence; nor bad
I taken account of the Southern seces?
sionists, who, as you aver, are uow co?
operating with me in support of this
original Abolitionist, except to rejoice
that, if among former associates some,
like yourself, hesitate, their places are
supplied in an unexpected quarter.
You entirely misunderstand me when
you introduoe an incident of the past
and build on it an argument why I should
not support Horaoe Greeley. What has
Preston Brooks to do with the Presiden?
tial election? Never, while, a sufferer,
did anybody hear me speak of him iu
unkindness; and now, after the lapse of
more than half a generation, I will not
unite with you in dragging him from the
grave, where he sleeps, to aggravate the
passions of a political conflict, and ar?
rest the longing for concord. And here
is the essential difference between you
and mo, at this juncture. I B?'ZO tho
opportunity to make tho equal rights of
all secare, through peace and reconcilia?
tion; but this infinite boon you would
postpone. Seven years hove passed
since we laid aside our arms; but unhap?
pily, daring all this period, there has
been a hostile spirit toward each other,
while the rights of my colored fellow
citizens have been in perpetual question.
Seven years mark a mateiial period ol
human life. Should not the spirit be
obanged with the body? Can we not,
after seven years, commence a new life,
especially when those onoe our foes re?
peat the saying, "Thy people shall be
my people, and thy God my God?" 1
declare my preference for an original
Abolitionist as' President, and you seefa
to or?ate a diversion by crying ont thal
Democrats will support him; to which 1
reply, eo muoh the better. Their sap
port ia the assurance that the cause ht
has so'constantly guarded,.whether bi
equal rights or r?conciliation, is accept?e
by Democrats; and this is the pledge o:
a true union, beyond anything in oat
history. It is a viotory of ideas, with
out wbioh all other victories muBt fail.
To intensify your allegations, you in
eist that I am ranged with Jeffersoi
Davis and Robert To o m bs; bat, pardo t
me; nobody knows bow the former wi!
vote, while Robert Toombs is boisteroui
against Horaoe Greeley; and with hin
are Stephens, Wise and Mosby. Th ii
is all very poor, and I mention it only ti
exhibit the character of your attempt
In the same spirit, you seek to avoid th<
real issue, by holding up the possibility
of what you call a Demooratio adminia
tration, and you have the oourage t<
assort, as within my knowledge, that b;
the eleotion of Horaoe Greeley, Congres'
is handed over to the oontrol of th
party who hare positively denied th
rights of the blaok mea. You say that I
know this. Mr. Speaker, I kuow no
snob thing, and you should Lo sufficiently
thoughtful not to assert it.
lam entirely satisfied that a canvass
like the pr?sent, where the principles
declared at Cincinnati are openly accept?
ed on one side and not contested on the
other, must result in a larger number of
congressional representatives sincerely
devoted to the rights of the o ol or od citi?
zen than -ever before. The Democrats
will be pledged, as never before, to the
ruling principle-that all men are equal
before the law-and also to the three
constitutional amendments, with the
o?anse in-each empowering Congress to
enforce the same by appropriate legisla?
tion. But, besides Democrats, there
will be Liberal Republicans pledged like?
wise, and also your .peculiar associates,
who, I trust, wUl . not betray the cause.
Senators and Representatives calling
themselves..-Republicans have been lat?
terly in a large majority in both houses,
but the final measure of civil rights, to
which you refer, though urged by me
almost daily, has failed to become a law;
less, I fear, from Democratic opposition
than Republican lukewarmness and the
want of support in the President.
The great issue wbioh the people are
called to decide in November is un the
President, and nobody knows better
than yourself that the House of Repre?
sentativos, chosen at the same time, will
naturally harmonize with him. So it has
been in oar history. Now, harmony
with Horace Greeley involves what I
most desire. With snob a President,
Congress will be changed. For the first
time since the war, the equal rights of
ult will have a declared representative at
the head of the Government, whose pre?
sence there will be of higher significance
than that of any victor iu war; being not
only a testimony, but a constant motive
power in this great? cause-, Opposition,
whether- open hostility - or more subtle
treachery, will yield to thu steady in?
fluence of such a representativo. There
lore, io looking to the'. President, I look
also to. Congress; which will, take itt
eh?raoter in large measure frc m him.
lu choosing Horace 'Greeley, we dc
the best we can for the whole Govern
meut; not only in the exeoutive, but iti
the legislative branch; while we decline
to support nepotism, repayment of per
sonal gifts by official patronage, seizure
of the war powers, and indignity to .thc
black republic; also, the various inoapa
oities exhibited by the President, Soc
the rings by which he governs; none o
wbioh can you defend. You know wei
that the rings are already condemned bj
the American people. For myself, I sa?
plainly, and without hesitation, that '.
prefer Horace Greeley with any Congres
possible, on the Cincinnati platform, t<
President Grant, with his pretension
und his rings, a vote for whom involve
the support of all his pretensions, witt
prolonged power in all the rings.
Tbere must be another influence am
another example. The Administration
in all its parts, is impressed by the Prc
aident. Let his soul he enlarged wit
the sentiment of justice, and quickeuei
by industry; and not only the tw
Houses of Congress, but the whole oourj
try, will feel the irresistible authorit
over-spreading, pervading and permeat
ing everywhere. Therefore, in propoi
tion as you are earnest for the rights c
the colored oitizen, and place them aboi
partisan triumph, you will be glad t
support the candidate whose heart hi
always throbbed for humanity. Tb
country needs such a motive power i
the White House. It needs a generoi
fountain there. In one word, it neec
somebody different from the present ii
cutnbeut; and nobody knows this bett?
than Speaker Blaine.
The personal imputation you mal
upon me, I repel wtth the indignation <
an honest heart. ? I was a faithful suj
porter of the President until somewh
tardily awakened, by bis painful oonda
on tho island of St. Domingo, involvit
the seizure of the war power, in violatic
of the Constitution, and indignity to tl
black republic, in violation of intern
tional law; aud when I remonstrati
against these intolerable outrages, I w
sut upon by those uctiug in his belia
Suoh is tho origin of my opposition,
could not have done less, without failu
in that duty which is? with me, thu ru
of life; nor can I doubt that, when pt
tissu sentiments are leas active, you w
regret the wrong you have done m
Meanwhile, I appeal confidently to t
candid judgment of those wbo, amit
ull present differences of opinion, uni
in the great object, far above party
President, to wbioh my life is devoted,
am, sir, yonr obedient servant, -

A NEW PACTFIO RAILROAD.-The move?

lantic and Pacific-the only substantial
prospeot is oponed to the people of Cali?
fornia and of St. Louis aud tho'West of
estaolishing a suitable and permanent
highway aoross the continent. The pro?
posed ronte, which is along the thirty
fifth parallel, some six degrees South of
the Union Pacific, is, in point of national
convenience, mnch more eligible than
any other, offering not only better ad?
vantages in the matter of climate, but
also for commanding trade of tho inte?

four milliards of francs, while but three
milliards were called for. Of this amount
500,000,000 francs have been subscribed
by German capitalists in the city of Ber?
lin. Another despatch says the new loan
is an extraordinary success. Six or
seven times the amount ottered by the
Government has been covered. Sob-:
uoriptions have been received from Ger?
many alone for the entire sum.
The autumn manouvres in England
will take place on Salisbury Plain.
About 12,000 men will take part on eaoh

PLAIN WORDS or ADMONITION.-The!
New York Herald, which has, so far, io
its political expressions, indicated a
leaning towards Grant without being au
friendly to Greeley, takes occasion to
give some very plain words of 'admoni?
tion to the former. In the coarse of its
artiole, the Herald says: .,'
"Bot in the States Sooth of the Poto?
mac, ander the baneful influence of the
corrupt coterie which lives on the un?
clean drippings of political pow?r, Presi?
dent Grant is allowing bis Cabinet and
office-holders'to combine thoBolid voting
negro power with the persuasiveness of
Federal bayonets to secure his re elec?
tion. ThuB would he and the party into
whose hands he has surrendered himself,
place the white population'Of the late'
Confederate States under the Ignorant
sway of their late slaves? For many
years, the Republican party labored to
effect emancipation. Now, when the
lash and the manacle have lost their nee,1
that eame party Beeks to place a chival?
rous and cultivated race of white Ameri?
cans under the unbridled mle of tho'
blacks and mongrels who until lately
wore servile chains, and a set of thieving
carpet-baggers who pander to them. Was
there ever a more monstrous proposi?
tion? Such a position is utterly un?
worthy the Chief Magistrate of this
great nation.
"Unfortunately for him and the coun?
try, hiB natural modesty has allowed him
to let the praotioal control of the Admi?
nistration drift into the hands, of the
party hacks whoso only reliance for that
power which they Beek with greedy
avidity is in the impure channels of
party manipulation. They have run the
governmental craft into dangerous whirl?
pools and among threatening rocks. On
all sides, from their meddling, dishonest
mismanagement, stand imminent perils
to the 8hip of State. Our foreign rela?
tions are 1 no way satisfactory; our
finances, with a large debt and onerous
taxation, are,npt altogether re assuring,
and at home we see States under the rule
of bayonets."' '
FRENCH LEG IB LAT? VB DIGNITY.-The I
Frenoh Assembly, occasionally exhibits
scenes of excitement and uproar which,
to those accustomed to the generally
grave and decorous proceedings of legis?
lative bodies in England and America,
aro surprising and ludicrous At a late
sitting, M.Thiers, the President of the
republic, set a perfect hurricane in mo?
tion by exclaiming, "In a country where
revolutions have left behind them not
only more princes than can be put on the
throne, and more office-holders than Go
vernment can turn to account." One [
after another of the monarchical party
denounced Thiers furiously for such irre?
verence to princes. Still .more furious
was the scone when M. Thiers said,
'You have given us a form of govern?
ment called the republic." The left
cried out, "Ayel aye!',' the right, "No!
not" and denying tnat there was any de?
finite form of government. The excite?
ment is said to have become frantic,
nearly every member of the two sections
being on his feet, gesticulating fiercely
and screaming at the top of hiB voice, all
at tho same time. One gentleman, a
viscount, is described as "gesticulating
like a supple-jack, whose strings are
tossed by violent, contrary and fitful
winds." Perhaps nothing will convey to
an Amerioan reader as forcible au idea of
the extravagance of the exhibition as the
statement that when M. Thiers said, "I
do not wish to encroach on your politi?
cal faith," one of the sergeants-at-arms
interrupted the President of the repub?
lic, "Don't say our .political faith, say
ourrights." When reproved by the pre?
siding officer, who asked bim if he really
pretended to dictate sentences ' to the
speaker, the doughty sergeant replied,
'I do pretend to prevent my rights and
the rights of the Assembly from being
confiscated." Who can imagine such a |
j scene in an English or American Legis?
lature?
INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS.-Or?
ders have been received from the Post?
master-General directing that the inter?

THE BALLOT IN ENGLAND.-Hereafter,
voting by ballot will be the method of
expressing the will of the people at elec?
tions in Great Britain. On the 15th ult,
tho ballot bill, whioh has so long been
under consideration in the British Par?
liament, was fully disposed of in the
House of Lords, where it had met with
persistent opposition, and it has since
reoeived the royal assent. The bill
passed is the bill of the Commons, with
two amendments by the House of Lords.
This is deemed an experimental measure;
indeed, the operation of the law ceases
in 18S0, unless a new bill replaces it then
or earlier. But there is not the slightest
probability that the ballot will ever be
taken from the people after it has once
been adopted, though it is likely that
experience may lead to many improve?
ments in tho details of the law providing
for its uso.

dear."
