New York is safe for Grant. Greeley, is less popular than Seyropur, and the ten thousand majority of the latter is nothing to overcome in the present condition of the " Tammany Ring." This Administration, mindful of the uni versal consumption of tea and coffee among all classes,, poor as well as rich, has made these articles wholly free, choosinar rather to tax the luxuries of wealth than the comforts of the work- mgman. . The homestead law was established by the Republican party, and is one of the first fruits of its ascendancy, , the bill having been vetoed by j James Buchanan, in which act he manifested the antagonism to working-men! which must animate all who enforce servile labor. Horace Greeley is an infidel to the extent that he denies the Divinity of Christ. While religion and politics should be kept strictly apart, yet it is scarcely possible for the American peo ple to elevate to their first office one who boasts a life-long hostility to the Christian Church.

It will establish a new epoch of justice and comity among Nations. Four-fifths of the cases of official de linquency and nine-tenths of the loss occasioned thereby, have been entailed through the corruption of officials, the responsibility for whose appointment rested upon the previous Administra tion, while the present Administration has exposed their dishonesty, reinoved them from office, and, as far as practic able, punished their crimes. Greeley was stronger the day after the Baltimore Convention than he has ever been. He has been losing ground ever since. The fact is now quite clear to all intelligent observers that the adoption of a renegade Republican .as a candidate for the 'Presidency by the Democrat party has proved a barren device. Greed of power, place and plunder on one side, arid insane ambi tion on the other, has molded the sem blance of an organization into shape, but it is cemented by no love of honor able principle, and carries with it no elements of strength. Its overwhel ming, utter and ignominious defeat can be safely predicted. j Grant is the first President who ever recommended and j inaugurated a sys tem of .Civil Service Reform which makes office dependent upon fairly con ducted ?and competitive examinations; which inakes dismission from the pub lic service to depend upon misconduct, which j leaves the attainment of office open to all classes bf citizens alike, ir respective of political opinions and re ligiodjjcreeds, andwhich deprives the National Executive of all benefits to be derived from, clerical appointments. tfo adopti such a system and to put it in-operation just on the eve of a Presi dential election where the President is himself a candidate, shows how de voted Jhe is to the! free and unbiassed rule of the people.

Al though they will elect their State tick et by fifteen thousand, . they feel that they could lose Pennsylvania to Ha tranft in October, and still carry the State for Grant in November; or lose it in November, and yet elect Grant Pennsylvania has never lost her vote, only assume not to believe in the ex istence of such, things, but on everyj possible occasion they take up their pens to deny the guilt of men who ac knowledge their "crimes, as this Mr; Ramsour has done. : j ' f it to command the attention and the sympathies of the!

Mr.- Linney's conduct is characteristic of Greeleyites American people that as goes that State so goes the Nation. . But in this con test, Pennsylvania and Indiana might be given to Greeley without effecting Grant's election. The Liberals and Democrats however, cannot afford to lose these, and so they propose to "give up" on the night of the, eighth of Octo- gladnesk and unconcealed exultation.
