' Tho Reason Why. The New York Herald in a late arti cle on the political situation tells us why the people do not allow the Gree ley ring to be put into their noses. It says: " The fact appears to be that the coun try is riot at this time prepared either for a sudden and violent change or for an experiment that may lead to a dis turbance of the present financial situa tion, and hence has made up its mind to support General Grant rather than to turn over the government to Mr. Greeley and his singularly constituted band of supporters.? I patronage The Era shall deserve, and (i Afvoice from Home.

We must direct' the attention of The Haleigh News anil other Greeleyites to the fact3 in regarc: the Town elections of Connecticut t 1 ? ; H In their anxiu3 search for possible crumbs of comfort the Greeleyites have tried to cheat thk. readers into the be lief that the Connecticut town elections showed large Democratic gains. And on this point TlfiXew Haven Palladi um says : , ) Even were this "the-, case, it would be a matter of the vei v . slightest consequence, so far as the vote rf next month is concern ed. But the factslre very different from what they represen t them to be. Official returns from the town clerk of 155 towns show that the Republicans have carried 69, the Democrats 48, and 37 have elected mixed tickets, by far he larger portion having a majority of Republican officers. Corrected returns give nine towns, which were Dem ocratic last year, as gained by the Republi cans, viz: Bethlehem, Cromwell, Ledyard, Madison, NewtowS North Haven, Sprague, Plvmauth.' tXS6' "Von. Five towns. wMcfciasfc yi j , 4publir3r mixed. are thi3 year Democratic, viz : Andover, Bethel, Danbury, Naugatuck, and Wilton. There is not an intelligent Democrat in the State but knows that his party never was in a feebler or mor disorganized condition, and all the bragging in the world will not persuade them to the contrary.; Orders were given from the Liberal Committtee to telesrraph cains, with the hope of influ encing the elections in the States which voted on Tuesday, but now that they have voted it is a waste of perverse ingenuity to try to keep up the deception. Thus only can it secure, upon the one hand, the love of the fpeople, and upon the other, respect for its authority and power. Thus only can : the great Re public accomplish the ends for which it was founded. Thus only can it "es tablish justice, insure domestic tran quility, : promote the general welfare, and secure the' blessings of liberty" throughout its extended domain. Grant and the Fathers of the - ' Country. ; We have alluded to the malignant assaults on Washington and his ad ministration by that, class of calumnia tors feebly imitated by a later class of pigmy maligners who assail President Grant and his administration at the present day. We will now pass on to the successors of Washington, , first taking the case of Mr. Jefferson. INFAMOUS CHARGE AGAINST JEFFER- l; ; r' .; 'son.

He de scribes the riotous proceedings of the Greeley mob as each speaker attempted to speak, and is hardly able to suppress a hearty guffaw, so exceedingly funny does this lawless proceeding appear to him. It is strange that a man who has such a relish for amusement could not enjoy the blowing up of his press, j It is a part and parcel of the same dis graceful and alarming lawnesses that promises poorly for reconciliation. Washington Chronicle. f of last week put pqwder under The Sentinel office and blew it up doing great damage to a new power-press, (that cost 3,000) and tho type, v t. Itijfnotour province to charge who did it. I IWe are open to conviction and can look Hon., John Pool. No man of the State has been more roundly or unjustly abused, and mali ciously misrepresented than Senator John Pool. We are willing to believe that the great majority of Mr. Pool's political enemies and traducers have been mis led to misunderstand his position to ward the people5 of the State which he represents, and have misconstrued his conduct in the Senate of the United States into hostility to the people of his State and section. . We are prepared to show that he has at all times stood foremost among the prejudice either personal or political.

The temper and tone of some of the Southern Greeley papers has for some time? hinted at bringing the Ku Kjux corruption Inhabits our frail blood." " ' t Thomas Green Fessenden, an author and journalist; of some note, in 1805, and thereabouts, wrote a Hudibrastic poem in two good sized duodecimo vol umes, entitled "Democracy unveiled, or Tyranny stripped of the garb of patriot ism." I A writer says : The work had a large circulation, and was very' popular in the federal party. The federal magazines and reviews, and the universal federal press lauded it to the skies, and canomized Thomas Green Fes senden as a federal saint of rare excellence and potency. In this scurrilous poem, at once unmusical and slanderous, may be found, scraped together, the filth and defa mation which were poured out in that day, on Jefferson, on Jefferson's friends, arid on the party to which he belonged. The Dem ocratic traducers and calumniators of pres ent times, in manufacturing the detraction and calumny with which j they asperse President Grant, are only fit pupils of the calumniators who endeavored to defame and disgrace Thomas Jefferson. But they and their infamous libels are forgotten, while the name of the man they hated shines resplendent in the" temple of fame with a glory that will be eternal. So will it be with Grant and his envenomed detrac tors. From the. cgss-pools of deserved and retributive obscurity We drag again to light a few specimens of the scurrilous cal umny which formerly, as now, was cast on merit by ignoble, envious, and disappointed hatred. FESSENDEN 'S VITUPERATIVE RHYMES. We make room for the following brief extract from this " Democracy ' ' Wo siPTar. :ti. 11 make room for the friends and. supporters of, his Excellency," plain Thomas Jef ferson." - JEFFERSON DELEGATED TO HELL. ; In the collection of Political Pam phlets, in the Library of Congress, Vol. 107, may be founcl the choice paragraph which follows, and which truly portrays the animosity felt toward Jefferson by his enemies: -': ' "Who are the enemies of the country? Its rulers. What do they deserve? Hell. Avaunt thou tyrant. If thou canst not be saved by. preformation, go to Hell as thy proper" abode. 0, .thou disturber of the peace; thou destroyer of thousands; what hast thou done? Ask Bonaparte ask the Devil. Thy grave 'will not secure thy bones from burning." . - JEFFERSON'S PERSON AND DRESS RIDI- . - . CULED. . )''" In The New York Evening Post, for January 7, 1802, is the following per sonal 5 paragraph; wherein Jefferson's dress is described in a manner very different from another description which will immediately succeed this one: ' "We hear the mammoth cheese has been received by the President of the United States, at Washington, from the charge, of Parson Xeland. It is said the President stood in his dooT to receive.it, dressed in his suit of customary black, with shoes on that close tight round his ankles, laced up with a neat leather string, and absolutely them as su perfluous , and - anti-republican, especially when a inan has strings." In the same paper ' for April 20, 1802, a Washington, correspondent thus dis7 plays his graphic powers:, f ."Jefferson is dressed in long boots' with the tops pressed down about the ancles like a Verginia buck ; overalls of corduroy, faded by frequent immersjon in soap suds from yellow to a dull white; a red single breasted cloth waistcoat, bearing unques tionable marks that he is in the habit of feeding without a bib ; a light 'brovn coat, with dull brass buttons, once gilt; and both coat and waistcoat seemed to be aged, at least, five years,-more of less ; his linen bespeaks that close attention to savings in his dealings with his washer-woman, which has been so much insisted upon by Mr. Bailey; his hair is undressed, and beard unshaven. . ; - . .

Remember that if Grant and Wilson are not elected "Vigilance Committees" and "Invisible Empires" are to re-es tablish themselves. The voting population of North Car olina in 1870 was, white 139,533 color ed 78.019: total 217.554. Estimated now at a total of 225,000, voters in the State. A disgusted Greeleyite, sent down South to watch the movement of "re conciliation " comes to - the conclusion that Negro Democrats at the South are much scarcer than Irish Rerjublicans at the North. The State for Grant and Wilson now, insures the Republican party the Leg islature hereafter, and a majority of the Congressmen ; to say nothing of the immediate prospects for a Republican United States Senator. f Query: If the voting population of North Carolina is 225,000,' or only 217,554, as in 1870, and the total vote polled last summer was only 195,000, what is to become Of that contested I greatly fear his statue will never be erected election by the Democratic party? The Senatorial Struggle, j There seems to be a contest going on in the camp of the enemy over the Senatorial spoils it is supposed the ap proaching Legislature will have the privilege and the power of dividing . ful nmon thf fnithTpss fminrl." ! The struggle hitherto has apparently been between Vance and Merrimon, but the gallant Scales appears lately to be looming up into a respectable oppo nent, while Clingman is said to be not altogether out of the race. j. Some of the friends of Judge Merri mon are disposed to suspect that there has been formed against their favorite a combination of theRansom and Vance forces, and that every influence will be brought to bear In behalf of Vance as against Merrimen. The following from The Greensboro Slate 13 worth reproduc ing here: j The Asheville Citizen has changed hands. Mr. Atkinson, who is a brcther-in-law of Dr. Merrimon, retires: Mr. Furman,Vho is a protege of the Kansom-Vance combina tion, takes charge. Thus, the only organ which Dr. Merrimon had in the State is stifled. Ilansom and Vance put him up to be beaten, and they rejoiced at his defeat; and now, because they cannot force him into an unavailing contest, they buyout the only paper in tho State which was prepared to advocate his claims for the Senate.! In nocence and simplicity of heart, such as are characteristic of Dr. Merrimon are no match for the combination of intriguers arrayed against him. - . 1 General Scales begins to be much talked of for the Senatorshlp. As Dr. Merrimon permits himself, with christian forbearance and resignation, to be decently and quietly laid upon the shelf, Scales-stock rises, and he will be ablo to troublo Ransom and Vance more than any man who has been named. He has a military ring of his own to sound his praises and revive his, war record, which was very creditable. .That was what Dr. Merrimon needed, but want ing that, and 'hi-ins dependent for fame simply upon his degree of doctor of laws, he falls tack t his original obscurity. We is! well in the action. to thus unmask so early The people of the South, as well fas those at. the North, now un- their own language, "to make the lands too heavy by taxation for the land owners to carry " it is. well known that Mr. Pool was urging the party up lo a proper standard of liberality, equity and statesmanship, and the result was that equilibrium in our State Constitu tion between the property and the poll tax. His course in regard to the Ku Klux legislation of Congress has been amply vindicated by the Ku Klux develop ments, and the conduct of the Ku Klux and their friends : and instead of de- derstaiid the situation fully ; and they nouncing him for his efforts and parti- will goVern themselves accordingly.

We how exhume some prose speci mens bf eloquence quite equal to the poetical garlands of Fessenden. In The New York' ..

Mr. Jefferson may fancy himself secure in the wretthed confidence of popu larity ; but he is deceived ; that wjll ' vanish and leave hi:n to repent,- at leisure, of pow er ill gotten and scandalously abused." JEFFERSON DENOUNCED AS A LIAR, &C. On the 2nd of September, -1802, Mr. William Colman, then Editor of The The Infamy of the Gerrymander. When we come to look into the Sen atorial Districts laid off at the last ses sion of the Legislature of this State, it is impossible not to conclude that mem bers in their partizan zeal have actually perjured themselves in their utter disregard and gros3 . violation of the Constitution of the State, which says : " Each Senate District shall contain ', as nearly may be, an equal number of in habitants." Now we know that the "Democrats" and Conservatives" have a majority of the members of the Legislature elect, bu they represent ' the minority of voters, for the Republican majority on the Sfelte ticket wa V two-thousandf on the Congressional over three; and on the Legislative vote, the aggregate Re publican majority for all the Senatorial districts and counties is more than four thousand. Let us see: how this thing was done. ' To the eighteenth Senatorial district, comprising the county of Wake, having a population of 35,617 souls, but voting a Republican majority of five hundred and fifty, the last Legislature appor tioned but one Senator. To the seventeenth Senatorial dis trict, comprising the county of. John ston, having a population of 16,897 souls, or 18,720 less than the county of Wake, but voting a small "Conserva tive" majority, they have also given one Senator! i To the tenth Senatorial district, com prising the counties of Wayne and Du plin, embracing a population of only 83,689 souls, and 1,931 less than the eighteenth Senatorial district with one Senator, but voting a' small "Conserva tive" majority, 'they have given two Senators I j s Another View : We take six coun ties, voting in the aggregate four thou sand Republican majority, and em bracing a population bf 120,885, and Wer Plan of Organization Republican " State- Committee.
