E km iXt.'.rjosT makca its appearance, and re vests its share ot public patronage and favor. The Managing Editor h not en tirely unknown to the citizens ot this vicinity, having resided in the city of Wilmington for neatly seven year?, and he believes his opponent .; will bear tes timony to his political consistency and fairness, a3 his friends will to his politi cal liberality and, at the same time, un swerving devotion to the "rrinCiple3 of the Republican party. Ho lias been bit ter in denunciation of abiuc of power by. friend or foe, and iuu no fellowship with those who prostitute their official positions or the positions in their gilts lor political or personal aggrandizement. Actuated by this principle, he will not be slow to denounce corruption in of fice, Uut J. llio souic time twill finely u.ncl faithfully defend thoc who have been unjustly assailed by their enemies. He will support the regular nominees of the Republican party and ito platforms, to the best of hii ability, believing, he docs, that the salvation i the country drpends now, as it hac fui the past twelve year:;, entirely upon the ex ertions and sacrifices ot the members of that patty. He believes it to be the great protector of the poor and laboring man of all race:; and of r.'d climes. It is the party that iucouracrcs emigration and gives of it abundant lauds to actual bettlcr;;, out mouev and without price. .It wi th is the party that builds the -Pacific Railroad, and thereby lays" the foundation of greatly increased national wealth and our consequent i.uurc prosperity. It is the party, that stood by the Union tluring its years ot danger, when men, now claiming to be the only party lit to be cnti ustcd with the management of the affairs of that Union, were light; iug to destroy it. It is the party that has, by careful management aud strict retrenchment, gone steadily on, in spite of all the various- obstacles thrown in its way by its enemies, reducing the public debt, which v, as actually in curred in putting down the very party ot men who now chum the right to manage our affairs. It is the party that gave Irccdom to nearly lour million slaves, held in bondage by the very lucii who wuukl now convince liiem, ii possible, that they arc their " best friends." Over this indcstructablc arch, the Republicau party expects to march again to victory, relying upon the hearty co-operation ot ail those who love the Union aud wish its perpetuation, and on this basis the editor of Tni: Evr. .nino Post again flings his banner to the breeze lor weal or woe. It is morally impossible tostait a new daily paper and make all the vari ous parts run with the quietness and case of cue long established.

Tfotorf wm to Eiaisrants' We are glad the President hasxalled the attention'bf Congress to the impor tance of; some stricter regulations for the carrot emigrants arriving on our sborcsli The abuses have been enor mous, and it is hili time that measures wcic taken for their protection. An Emigrant aniviugin the United States, not speaking our language, but desirous ul securing a Lome anion;; us, is the victim of frauds innumerable. He al- 1 with him and his ignc- ranee of our manners and customs make him an easy prey to the army of sharks swarming the docks and vessels. Let him have every possible protection for there is room lor millions ot them nn nnr unoCCUDied lands. Wc would like a few thousand down here. The great workmans strike in New York bids fair to be a success. The mechanics will then only work eight hours a day. This will be nice for the workmen, but how can employers afford tn nftv them Jsvrc3 f I A - jLfv the same pay isjp; more, and a general rise of necessities will be the result, aud no advantage gained. We sympathise with labor, but believe that capital also is entitled to some consideration. Since When ? The Scidifd says that Greeley, Trum bull, Schurz and Sumner arc " the ablest and purest of the Republican party' It is said that politics made strange bed-fellows. Upon reading the above in " Joe " Turner's paper, we arc not disposed to' doubt the truth of the old saw. . It any men have been maligned by the Southern press, more than Greeley and Sumner, wc would like to know their names. Hits. Victoria Wood-hull is going on a lecturing tour, in support of her self for the Presidency. She had bet ter come South where the cry is " any one to beat Grant." Perhaps she could pick up a few voters down this way. ling O Mm Protection of lmmiyrats Message of tbc I 'resident. To llc St "-te and House of Jicj'rcscfUaticcs : In my message to Congress at the be ginning of the present session, allusion was made to the hardships and priva tions inflicted upon poor immigrants on shipboard and upon arrival on our shores, and a suggestion was made fa voring national legislation for the pur pose of effecting a radical euro of the evil. Promise was made that a special mes tago on the subject would be presented during the present session should in formation be received which would warrant it. I now transmit'to the two Houses of Congress all that has been officially received since that time bear ing upon the subject, and recommend that fcuch legislation be had as will, secure first, such room and accommo dations on shipboard as is necessary for health and comfort, and such priva cy aud protection as not to compel im migrants to be unwilling witnesses to so much vice and misery, and second, legislation to protect them upon their arrival at our seaports from the knave who arc ever reaidy to despoil them of the l'ttie all winch tlicy are able bring with them. Such legislatr i will be in the interest of humanity, and seems, to be fully justifiable. The immigrant is not the citizen of any State or Territory upon his arrival, but comes here to become a citizen of a great republic, free to change his resiJcnce at will, to enjoy the blessing of a protecting Government where all arc equal before the'law andlo adtl to the nntional wealth by his industry. On his arrival he does not know States or corporations, but contides implicitly in the protecting arm of the great, free country of which lie has heard so much before leaving his j native land. It is a source of serious disappointment and .discouragement to those who start with means sullicient to support them com fortably until they can choose a resi dence and begin employment for a comfortable support td find themselves subject to ill-trcatrrcijit and every dis comfort on their passage here, and at the end of their jourufy seized upon by professed friends,, claiming legal right to take charge of them lor their pro tection, who do not leave them until all their resources are exhausted, when they are abandoned in a strange land, surrouuded by strangprs, without em ployment, and ignorant of the means of securing it. Under the present system, this is the late of thousands annually, the expos-, urcs on shipboard and the treatment on landing driving1 thousands to a life of vice aud shame, who, with proper, hu mane treatment, might become useful and respectable members of society. L do hot advise national legislation ir affairs that should be regulated by the States, but I see no subject more nation al in its character than provision for the safety and welfare of. the thousands who leave foreign lands td become citi zens of this republic. When their resi dence is chosen they may then look to the laws of their locality for protection aud guidance. The mass of immigrants arriving upon our shores, coming as they do on vessels under foreign flags, makes treaties with the nations furnish ing these immigrants necessary for their complete protection. For more than two years efforts have been made on our part to secure such treaties, and there is now reasonable ground to hope for success. . U. 3. Grant.

A CANDID OPINION OF GREELEY "BY ONE OP THE CINCINNATI LEADERS, From Mr. Samielf Bowies' Letter.l But, with his usual perversity of tem per and openness to flattery, Mr; Gree ley will probably continue to give his faith and attribute his success to those who fawn upon him that they may use him, and to slander and abuse those braver and truer friends who dare ex pose their creatues to him and the world, and to tell him the truth that he needs to hear, ev;n if he does not like it. MR. GREELEr'S SPOKESMAN. Report of meeting of New York Demo crats, held on Tuesday evening, May 7. Hon Benjamin "Vfood supported the motion, saying that he believed nine tenths of the Democrats in the country were lavorable to the nomination of Horace Greeley at that Convention. Cheers. Mr. Wood also said that Horace Greeley had told him that no Republican Convention could cause his withdrawal. If the Democrats failed to ratify, he might withdraw. A PRETTY RECORD FOR A PRESIDENT. From Harrier's Weekly. We invite all thoughtful American citizens to consider the influence that nominated Mr. Greeley, known to none so well as tothe best men in the Coyen tion ; then to consider his attitude dur ing the war when the real character of "every man wus tried. He would have allowed the States to decide whether they would secede. He surely perplexed the opening of Mr. Lincoln's Adminis tration, forcing the army into the field before it was ready. He begged Mr. Lincoln to try to buy a peace by paying for the slaves. He represented Mr. Lincoln's action in the Niagara confer ence in a manner which Mr. Lincoln declared put hira in a false position be fore the country. And he signed a let ter to the loyl Governors after Mr. Lincoln was renominated in 1864, sub stantially asking whether he should not be set aside" and a new candidate se lected. Consider such facts as these, occurring at moments of great national exigency, and decide what would have chanced had Horace Greeley been in the place of Abraham Lincoln. If there is one quality which i3 in dispensable in a President, it is sound judgment. If there is one public man who is totally destitute of it, It is Horace Greeley. A certain kind feeling with which he is regarded will not blind the country to his natural unfit ness for the office to which he has been nominated. JPolitical. The Vice Presidency. - - - Relative Strength of the Various Persons Named by the Republican State Conventions. Washington, May 12. A careful compilation of the States which have thus far instructed their delegates on the Vice Presidency shews the follow ing result: Instructed for Colfax Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maryland, Delaware, Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, District ot Columbia and Montana, casting 08 votes. - Instructed for Wilson Massachusetts and New Hampshire, casting-8i votes. Instructed for Dennison Ohio, 44 votes. Instructed for James F. Wilson Iowa, 22 votes. Instructed for General John M. Har lan Kentucky, 2l votes. Instructed tor 'Senator Lewis Vir ginia, 22 votes. Senator Wilson's strength here proba bly appears less than it really is, as there is no doubt he is the second choice of several ot the delegations who are instructed as to their first choice. But Mr. Colfax's strength, in view of the fact that it is entirely spon taneous, is shown to be much greater than has generally been supposed. Kcio York Times. The late' trial of General Trochu brought out several anecdotes concern ing the last days of the Empire. Among others, one is related of a foreign di plomatist, who, having gone to Chisel hurst, expressed, on leaving Napoleon, the bepe of seeing all rancor disappear and its young Pnnce return to France. At tbrvs words, starting to his feet, he is said to have exclaimed, " Why my son 3 by not myself ?" i . i NEW ADVEUTISEEIinnt mi n M.
