On the 26th there was a Greeley meet ing at Lincoln. Tipton, Mason, Doctor Livingston and Col. May ppoke. The Statesman calls it a large and entbuastic meeting and the Journal, a respectable turn out. We leave Piattsmouth to judge for themselves, knowing the men and the papers. TIIE PARTY OF TIIE RIGHT TO Tbe Party that have Left. Loooking over a French telegram, the other day. we noticed a beading "Tbe party on the right, to the party on the left." With the transposition of one word it may well apply to the state of our political world at present. We have no partisan faction known as the party of the right, nor yet one of the left ; bat we have had a grand old party that the people have very heartily endorsed as the party in the right, and a portion of that party, many of them the loudest mouthed and most emphatic in upholding this party's measures just so long as they were run and managed by their friends, have now become the party of the left. Left, in more senses than one. They have left a time hon ored and hitherto faithful record behind them; they have left the principles of honor and truth in the rear and plunging into a mad personal warfare on men they have left the right way far, far be. hind them, and earned the contempt and scorn of their neighbors on the right. Some of these left ones must blot out hole years of their lives, whale pages if their writings and teachings, and iheir very every day walk and conversa tion for some years, before they can nake their friends on the right believe (hat they are honest and sincere in their nove to thp left. Left; It is a Fad .-ord in English. It di-notcs an inferior po-H-):; a turning towards the by-ways i iife, rather than to the broad high vays of position and fame. "Keep to the right, boys," has be come a proverb in our language how then will this party of the left reconcile their course now with their teachings, foldings, even threats of former years? Surely they are of the left now, and have not "kept to the right" in this move; It has another meaning to stop, to fal. behind, to stay there ; all this it means to be left and next November, unless ths signs of the times go sadly awry, this party of the left will be also the party that is left. MR. TIPTON'S SPEECH. The gentleman who spoke last Thuisd y has become famous on the page of lut ter-day history, by his opposition to the present administration, and his persist ent efforts to disrupt the party th .t he claims to have helped first see daylight and strength, and which certainly made him ail that he. is of a public man. The Senator in some private remarks very pleasantly said he supposed we would have to ahuse him a little. We hare to do no such thing ; on the con trary, we shall eay some very good things of him. First and foremost his speech was not & tirade of abuse. It was argumenta tive rather than passionate, and strange tt say, we heard very little, compara tively, of either Grant or Greeley. It was a fierce and hostile arraignment of the Republican party, couched in decent and temperate language for a public speaker of to-day. Fitzgerald's Hall was very comfortably firled to hear him. We are led "to these remarks by our earn est desire to see a better toue in our public disputes than has generally pre vailed, and next to the speaker that uselessly and violently denounces every body aud everything opposed to him as vile, weak, false and hellish, is the Ed itor who rushes off to his oanctum and belittles himself, the intelligences of the audience, and the dignity of the Press, by stating that an opponent is no speak er, a fool, a knave, there was naught but empty benches to hear him, and so on. We propose to make this )aper a record of facts in such matters, so that if- our best enemy tees a statement of fact there, he will feel sure that it is true. Seuator Tipton is a good speaker, an able man, but we certainly never heard him talk when we liked him less; and he never was more unfortunate in his choice of words and similes. The charges that he makes have been gone over times without number, and have othtng'to da with the present issue whatever. By his own account the Georgia -ch'-me was defeated ; it has never in jured the country. The terrible and sublime heroism of the virtuous few (Liberals) was all thrown away in the matter of guarding our elections by soldiers, out of which they claim so much, for. by his own showing, there were enough virtuous men left in that Sodom of Representatives to squelch it before it ever became a law. Every sane man in Nebraska knows that we have never had a soldier to guard our polls, never had two men at five dollars a day to watch us, nor did ever a Northern State in the Union. "Suppose a few reck less or thoughtless men did attempt to get such a bill through, is that any rea son for arraigning a whole party, damn ing an innocent President, and throwing the country into a spasm of useless and aimless rage, because they could not and did not pass it. In f-hort, the Senator's whole argu ment simply showed what we all know, that the party has not been immaculatr, but it does not, and he cannot show any good reasons why Gen Grant should le blamed for what corrupt Senators and Congressmen desire to do. Nor does he give any reasons why the country would not be safer under Gen. Grant who has earnestly desired to break up and purpe out these nests of fraud rather than under the wing of an impracticable and foolish old man, who is surrounded bj harpies and flatterers. The Senator says he never asked a po sition for his son, and he has not "sour ed" on the Administration for refusing him. We believe him. Opposition newspapers state differently, but w choose to believe the Senator, when he states a fact, only asking for the sanit courtesy, in return, and that the out pouring of a mad and crazy journalist against the President may not be crammed down our throats nolens voleox. If Gen. Grant could stand forth and defend himself as Senator Tipton can, and does, we make no doubt that his administration would come out in bettar and purer lights than we have yet heard or dreamed it could. Last night's audience was not a sym pathetic crowd. It was not a Tipton crowd, nor yet a Greeley crowd and, pardon us, Senator and gentleman, ali, nothing but the fact that we are re markably bashful and retiring, prevent us from telling the world that it was de cidedly a Grant crowd. And dow comes in the Omaha Trib une and hepublicau and tells us what Geo. L. Miller, of the Omaha HeraLl. said of Greeley before the said Greeley became a Democratic candidate for Presi dent.

The rub-a dub of blackguards in the all-the-dency party is going on in the most lively manner between old Mi. Greeley and old Mr. Thad. Stevens. Old Mr. Greeley calls Old Mr. Steven a blackleg, which he is, and old Mr. Stevens calls old Mr. Greeley a SCARE CROW AND A SCOUNDREL, which he likewise is. Herald, August 4th, 1S68. One of the most vulgar, abusive and low flung ppeet h ever delivered on the floor of the U. S. Semite, was in 1S09, by the Rev. Senator Thos. W. Tipton, and the subject of the abue and black guardism wa Dr. Horace Greeley who had been n minuted Minister to Austria by U. S. Grant. Horace felt f-o bad be cause Tip. wouldn't vote for his con firmation that he declined tbe position, but revenged himself in his newspaper by drawing a vivid pen picture of Tip. in the columns of the Tribune. Both thes6 productions, the speech nd the pen picture, would be good for Tip. to read in his little address to the sore heads to-night. Lincoln Journal, Here is a spceimen of literalism with a witness : In the year A. D. 1S55 one James Orchard, who had obtained from the United States a land warrant for his services as a 6oldier in the Mexican war, came to Lucas County, Iowa, for tbe purpose of locating the same ; and after traveling over the -county found a tract which exactly suited him. Getting off his horse he took from his pocket his land warrant for 1C0 acres, opened and laid it upon the ground, at the same time.gaying, "In the name of the United States'! lay my land warrant npou this ract." . lie got on hi horse and rode off, leaving his warrant spread upon the Sound, fully of the opinion that he had id his warrant as tbe law intended he should. BUFFALO LAXD. We are in receipt of this new and most agreeable volume of over 500 pages from the press of E Hannaford & Co., (Publishers of FIRST CLASS Subscrip tion Books, Cincinnati and Chicago.) The author is Hon. W. E. Webb, of Topeka, Kansas, long and widely known from his connection with the interests of emigration, and a strikingly original and popular humorist. It describes th wealth and wonders, the mysteries and marvels of the bound less West that wild region so much talked about, yet so little understood, whose growth and development seem like a tale of Eastern magic. It is su perbly illustrated, containing no less .han fifty-three original and striking en gravings, from actual photographs and designs by Prof. Henry Worrell, and ex ecuted (the enterprising publishers as sure us) at a total cost of over $2,000. In a t-hort review like this, it is, of course, impossible to convey a perfect idea of tljis admirable work. To any one who has the least touch of "the Western fever," it must prove really in valuable ; and for all classes of readers, without exception, it is the liveliest and most laugh provoking book we have seen for many a day. It abounds with valu ible information, the reliability of which i.- vouched for by Governor Elarvey, of Kansas, and others. It fairly brims over with wit and humor, and many of its chapters rival Mark Twain's happiest -tyle. " Buffalo Land " embraces a wide and varied range of topics, among tbem the following : Details of great interest and import ance concerning the natural features, vast resources, rapid devel pment and ilniost incredible progress, of the far Western States and Territories, with glimpses of their mighty future ; Curious and interesting facts connected with the climatic and other changes con sequent upon the settlement and denser population of the newly-reclaimed West ern lands ; Fresh and authentic information, from official sources, respecting the sup ply of fuel and lumber available for use n the Great Plains; the cost of a farm, what the emigrant should bring with h m, stock-raising at the west, &c. A full summary of the Homestead rind Pre-emption laws and regulations, prepared by a former Register of the U. S. Land Office. Full and accurate descriptions of the habits, characteristics, etc., of the sav age red man, buffalo, wolf, elk, antelope, etc , as found in their native wilds and on the out-skirts of civilization ; Graphic and thrilling narratives of hunting adventures, stalking the bison, encounters with Indians, etc. ; Vivid pictures of life on the frontiers ; the past and present of the Great Plains; the vast inland sea, and the marvelous ikitnal life with which it once teemed; Highly interesting ' accounts of the geological wonders of the West, anti quarian and scientific researches, etc. The publishers desire agents for it everywhere, allowing exclusive territory nd the most liberal commissions- The firm is a prompt and reliable one. We nivc their address ia full : E. Ilanna t'o d & Co., 192 West Madison Stteet, Chicago, Illinois. Many of our readers will want this book, agd agents will make money rapidly in its sale. 13-2t J THAI. EARLY" LETTER. - This note Southern leader is out with u letter against Greeley, and tells some truths that might be pondered on by others than Democrats. After telling of his exile and the hardships he en dared, he says: If it Fhould ever be your fate to go through such an experience, Mr. Editor, which I trust may never be the case, then you will understand the fallacy of your conjecture, and the implacability and impracticability which you are pleased to attribute to me ; and you will also understand how it is that I am sus picious of all compromises with any of the authors of our, wrongs and sufferings, nd that if it were possible I would make greater sacrifices and go to much f irther lengths to "crush the htted foe " than you would now be willing to sanc tion You would also understand my reluctance to take as a leader one of the main authors of all our woes, and I think you "would then be willing to ex elaim with me, in the oft quoted lan guage of the Lat n poet, 'Timeo Danaos rt dona f rentes !" As you have made some refeience totacticsand flank move ments, I must say that if you had fol lowed the immortal Jackson in one of his great flunking operations, you would have learned the necessity of a compact, firm, self-reliant organization, aud a so of a leader in whom the most implicit confidence could be placed ; and you would understand the madness of disbanding in the face of the enemy and going over pell-mell to the first de serter from the ranks of the enemy who should ware his old white hat as a snare and a delusion. Here is a piece of information which could not be obtained at any price except from a Paris paper : "Miss Grant is one of the most highly educated women in Europe. She speaka with facilty Eng lish, German, French, and Italian. She has contributed nnder the veil of anony mous signatures to several American magazines ; and on her return to her own country she - is to marry the son of one of the richest manufacturers of New York, who is a memter of the Ameri can Parliament." 3 Bngham -Young's wife (which?) and daughter passed through the city to-day from the East, homeward bound. Bee, (Omaha). - ... PROCEED! XflM OF THE HOLOIERS' KE-CMOM, AT PLATTSnOtTTlX, JUNE 26TII, 1S73. At the close of the oration, by Sena tor Tipton, the business of the meeting was entered into, and officers for the en suing year were then nominated and elected, as follows : OFFICERS FOR 1872. President CoL Thos. Majors. Tice-President Gen. Otto Funke. Secretary John Gillespie. 8TATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Gen. S. A. Strickland, Capr. M. A. Pollock, Capt. Jos. W. Johnson, Col.

Minick, Capt. Henry Atkinson, Sex geant L. Winkelman, all of Nemaha county. The next Re-union will be at BROWN VILLE, On the first Wednesday in September, 1873. Gen. John M. Tuater was then se lected as the Orator of the day. Hon. John Gillespie called attention to the fact that an appropriation of can non for monumental purposes had been voted to Nebraska, and some action ought to be taken on the matter. Senator Tipton suggested that the next Re-union would be the proper time, and if it was so announced, a lar ger attendance would be given, and a more satisfactory disposal of the busi ness arrived at. Gen. Cunningham moved that a committee be appointed to attend to this matter, especially. This debate led to the passage of the second resolution, to which we call especial attention. RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, That the Dext Re-union be at Brownville, Neb., on the first Wednes day of September, 1873. Resolved, That the President, Vice Preident and Secretary, be, and are hereby constituted a committee. to ob tain, without delay, from the Ordnance Department at Washington, all the can non appropriated to Nebraska for monu mental purposes. Resolved, That the soldiers of the war, now residents of Nelbraska, be requested to organize in every county in the State, by electing an Executive Committee of five persons, the name of the chairman of such committees, being forwarded to the Secretary, Hon. John Gillespie, at Lincoln, Neb., without delay. Resolved, That the Soldiers and Sail ors, here present, offer their hearty thanks to the ladies and citizens of Piattsmouth, for the sumptuous and generous manner in which they were provided for, and for their courteous at tention in waiting upon us. Gen. R. R. LIVINGSTON, Chairman. John Gillespie, Sec'y. STATE ITEMS. The Mercy Hospital Drawing took place last evening. We didn't draw the $50 000. The commencement exercises of the State University at Lincoln, which be gan on Wednesday last, were very inte resting. The Board of Regents unanimously conferred the honorary degree of Doc tor of Laws, on Bishop Clarkson ; they also elected J. II. Kellom a member of the Board. Wednesday evening, Hon. J. 31. Woolworth, of Omaha, delivered an ad dress b fore the Alumni, and friends of the University, which was followed by one from Chancellor Benton. The University seems prosperous, ai;d the 100 students bid fair to be doubled the coming year.

A friend of ours, who is a clerk in a New York mercantile establishment, re lates a colloquy from which a enriffhtlv youth in the same store came out second best. A poor boy came along with his machine, inquiring: "Any knives or pcissors to grind?" "Don't think we havo " replied the young gentldioan, facetiously; "but can't you sharpen wits?" Ies, if you ve got any!", was the prompt retort, leaving the interrogator rather at a loss to produce ths article. SO SHE GOES. Oae of the best men in Css county informs the Herald that at avote taken in the cars, coming from Omaha, yester day, the result stood as follows ; For Grant ...12 For Greeley, 3 Non-committal 3 18 That's the way it will be all over next fall. NEW DAILY IN COUNCIL BLUFFS. We hava received the prospectus of 11 The Daily RepuMican newspaper" at Council Bluffs. Mr. C. B. Thomas, Esq., takes charge of the editorial de partment and his well known ability is a guaranty that the paper will be first class- It is an administration paper, and starts out with a full cors of com petcnt editors and managers. Dr. Doremus used to say that if he were challenged to fight a duel he would suggest to his opponent that both should take poison, and then sit down and play poker for the exclusive use of the 6 torn j ach pump. Tbe Pen and the Sword Ureeley ver mis 3 rant From the Saline County Post. That "The Pen is mighter than the Sword" is doubtless true, but it does not follow that an expert of the one is bet ter fitted for the Presidency than the representative of the other. The President of this nation should be distinguished for executive force for those qualities of heart and mind neces sary for th s, honesty, tact, wisdom, pru dence and firmness. By his pen Mr. Greeley has exerted a moulding power upon his party and the nation. His genuine sympathy for hu manity and his zealous advocacy of equal rights for all, have gained for him the esteem and adoiiriiticn of ranny.
