My connection of more than a year is unaltered. J. C. IXXJAN HARRIS. ' ANNOUNCEMENT, I have formed an editorial connec tion with The Era, and from this - '! ,111' . f " duteX assume the duties and responsi- hi Hties of such position. I take this step deliberately, with full knowledge of the responsibilities of the position, and the consequences thereof, and I take It under the most solemn , sense of duty. I believe that now the permanent peace of the coun try is contingent upon the success of the Republican party in retaining pos : session of the National and State Gov ernments, and I shall employ all the power and influence I possess to make such success lasting and complete. Had the cardinal principles of the Democracy been permitted to re-assejt . themselves at the close of the civil war, nf ther KergasUaUon on -a Constitu ' ,tIonai basis' of the Democratic party been allowed to obtain, all would - have been well with the country ; but, time-servers and trading poli ticians sacrificed the Democratic par ty on the unholy altar of their base ambitions, and so maintained the Re publican party in power until It has engrafted its principles upon our insti tutions and successfully fixed its policy upon the country ; and now, that the storm of Radicalism has spent itself, it becomes reasoning men to calmly sur vey the situation. After that mature reflection which comes of impartial ob servation of the campaign, thus far, I choose not to adhere to the party of Greeley, and I shall therefore support Grant, as the choice between certain peace and settled prosperity, and prob able disorder and possible disaster. The elevation of the tone of our jour nalism, good government, the peace and prosperity of the country, and the cultivation of good feeling among all classes of our people are among the great ends I have in view. As I move along in this position the reasons and arguments that influence rao will present themselves through these columns, and so for the present I content myself with this simple an . noucccment.

The business men of the country, bankers, lawyers, merchants, manu facturers, and all others who are inter ested in a sound 'financial policy are distrustful of Horace Greeley.

But the dis covery comes too late ; the truth is un fortunately uttered out of season. : Not only has favoritism been too much the rule " but the spirit of proscription inside of the nartv of The Eagle has x . . been too violent and overreaching in its effects. Men who had served their section faithfully in the hour of peril, have not only been ignored, but after years of toil and sacrifice in behalf of great principles of government, and striving for the social peace and ma terial prosperity of the State, have been hounded down and pursued out of the party they had essayed to serve. i Gentlemen who served the Confed eracy faithfully for four years have tired at the conduct of the Democratic party in recognizing as of superior merit those who stayed at home profit ably to themselves, speculating on the necessities of the people, and getting into high positions on the cry of peace and union, when there was no peace and union ; nor does public confidence and favor at all increase for such men who were for peace in war, but now for war ia peace. i The men who went forth to fight the battles of the South in "61 were bam-; boozled as effectually by the public sentiment of those times, as they of the Democratic -party, now, find them selves sold out to the office-seekers by that class of politicians who have " an obscure brother-in-law."

He has been everywhere greet ed vAth enthusiasm, and from private advices we learn that the freshness, boldness, candor and eloquence of his speeches have placed him high on the list of popular orators. To show the estimate in which he is held by the people of Vermont, where his efforts so largely contributed to our heavy gains in the recent election, we extract the following! from The Burlington Free appoint Press where Judge Settle spoke at the fession, and was soon after again cho sen to preside upon the bench. Up to the time of the present campaign he has clung to Democracy with unwaver ing tenacity. Tlie Pittsburg Commer cial says that probably no man in his section of the State has ever been con sidered more consistent politically, and that he carries with j him now into his new party relations hundreds of voters in the northern counties. In a brief address at a soldiers' and sailors' con vention in Franklin last week he said: " I have been a Democrat so long as they acted in harmony witlv my ideas. I am no sudden convert, but made up my mind to support Gen. Grant more than six months ago, I have not so made up my mind from personal reasons, but because I have looked upon him as the best man to fill the position not exactly in comparison with Mr. Gree ley, but I have looked all over our country in its present condition of peace and pros perity, and,- while having great respect for many good men in both parties, I have ar rived at this conclusion, that General Grant is the safest and best man in the whole country to elect as President for the next four years." a sustaining friend, pitying eye or helping hand.

A failure to transcribe the names of voters from the old Registration books, and the unwarrantable refusal of the Inspectors of the election , to correct such mistakes, lost the Republicans not less thankee thousand votes in the last election. This must not be the case again in November. We urge every Republican voter to inspect the regis tration books, and ascertain if his name is upon the books. The attention of the Press is directed to this matter. A free, fair election, with a full vote, will give Grant not less than seven thousand majority in this State. of merit, denied them by the latter day Democrats and ofSce-seekingselfish poUticians of the so-called Conservative party. But to the article of The Eagle: Politicians have been unfortunate in man aging the Conservative party in this State. The people have adopted a new departure and refuse to be driven in the ruts of party for mere office, and on exploded issues. Our party has been, we fear duped by false teaching. Men who do not represent our voters have hurried forward on all occas ions and controlled some of our counsels. These were too often chance men, not pos sessed of the honesty, calibre or sufficient public confidence .to build up a party, or steadily advance ours and the country's interest. Many worthy men have worked faithfully in our campaigns and in all our party operations. - i Favoritism has been too much a rule. Men were puffed, flattered and put forth as candidates and leaders who do not sympa thize with, the mass of the people. Many were honored thus who had earned no rep utation, and who had done nothing for the party. Some were put forward because they needed the office to make a living. Some caucuses were packed and manipu lated to suit some old played-out politicians who dared not offer their own names to the public, but who got in some blank tool in the shape of an obscure brother-in-law or fellow church member, i As a general thing the peoplo are deter mined to repudiate this ring and dema gogue business. It has received stern re buke in several counties in this section. We must take higher ground, more national, and above all, we must base promotion on merit. Let us have in view some practical reform and go forward to its speedy and faithful accomplishment. For the very life of our party we must reorganize on this new departure. We want to support no man because he cannot live without office. We want no man to lead us who does noth ing at home.' We want no man simply be cause hia uncle may have been Governor once. We want only live, progressive self made men at this hour, and these only can we elect. Judge Merrimon was of the right pattern, but one leader could not correct the deficiencies of the many. We must O ver come these faults. We must seize new is sues, and new, more positive men, will lead us to success. It is pure humbug to entrust the management to none but old officeholders.
