‘4872, we have passed through a tolerably sno- | ccesful season, and the sport is still one of the most popular pastimes and increasing in pub- lio favor every day. Partisan Vituperation Rebuked from en Unusual Quarter. It cam scarcely be credited, but such is the fact—a man wedded and welded to the poetic amuse has felt himself obliged to leave his rosy Couch on Mount Parnassus, and, coming down ‘to the miry earth of politics, rebuke some of ‘the partisan speakers and journalists of the day. It is the amiable and tender-hearted ‘Quaker poet of Amesbury, John Greenleaf ‘Whittier, who has considered it his conscien- tious duty to do this, and instead of singing in his pleasant ‘‘Birthday’’ lines— How hushed the hiss of party hate, The clamor of the throng’ How old, harsh voices of debate fiow into rhythmic song !— to write to his colored friends a letter, in the course of which he says: — No colored man with any self-réspect or sense of gratitude can listen compl personal gpuse of such men’ as Horace Greeley, Cnarles imner, Henry Wilson or Salmon P. Chase, They Pane been your iriends when friendship cost some- Again: — Iam pained by the bitter personalities of the canvass on both sides, Iam sorry to see such a Yow and vulgar song as that {from Brooklyn headed “Od Gran: irecloy,’t ‘me caltor should condemn such weak and bitter abuse of a aman that he has good reason to respect. But what respect has.a partisan journalist for an opponent in a political contest, as such ~eontests are conducted in these latter days? Instead of argument coarse vituperation is the weapon employed to carry,a point, and in defence the assailed has to reply in kind, just as the Chinese fight their battles by casting (vessels of a nameless odor into the ranks of thelr enemies, The “hiss of party hate” speomes, alas! to be growing more and more ‘venomous as we proceed in our political career. 4Aside'from our own, writers from abroad come ‘among us, and, settling themselves in some yeasy editorial chair, dip their pens in gall and falminate the most atrocious epithets against their contemporaries, Why is this? How is ~\dt¢hat writers who, in their own country, mwould scarcely descend to so low and des- Picable a level in discussing public men and measures seem to find here a ‘congenial soil in which to plant their seeds of Ditterness ? And why is it that our own writers ‘ptill cling to that era of journalism which reo- ‘ognized in vituperation and Billingsgate the ‘only rond to journalistic preferment? Is it, re-quote our Amesbury poetic friend, to please “‘the clamor of the throng?’’ That ‘Wight do for the hustings, but it is not caleu- lated for the editorial sanctum. It might do for the “‘old, harsh voices of debate,” but not ‘Nor the ‘calm and. philosophic editorial closet. In brief, the partisan press and the partisan forum, and the men-who conduct the partisan press, as well as the men who. occupy the par- tisan forum, ‘stand in this day and generation sadly in need of good, wholesome advice, un- Jess their object be to bring into disgrace Zepublican institutions and to make the nation reproach among the decent and substantial governments of the civilized world. Friend ‘Whittier “is entitled to the thanks of the re- ‘spectable people of the country for his \timely rebuke to these coarse lampooners of the most honored and honorable statesmen in the great republic.

GREELEY “GONE WEST.” Another Day of Travel and Speechmaking. BUCOLICS AT INDIANA, PA. Scenes at the Stations Along the Route. A CAMPAIGN TALK AT PITTSBURG. His Reasons for Ante Bellum Hesitancy. THE TWO ALTERNATIVES. He Would Let the Wayward Sisters Go Rather Than Civil War. HIS VIEWS OF THE QUESTION UNCHANGED, Prrrssura, Pa., Sept. 19, 1872. The night at Altoona passed quietiy, Uncle Horace retiring to his couch almost as soon as bis speech of the evening had been delivered. He was tired and weary with the long ride of the day before, though he expressed himself as well pleased with the receptions alopg the route. They were indeed far more enthusiastic and hearty, for the limited time which they lasted, than even his Portland and Augusta receptions. A special Pull- man car was attached at Altoona to the train in which he had left New York. He was accompanied by Governor Walker, of Virginta; Governor Randolph, General Zulich, James Hutchinson and J. ©. Barr, of the Pennsylvania delegation, and Messrs. Keck and Fitzgerald, the Cincinnatians, AT JOHNSTOWN ® large crowd of hardy-looking fellows, tron- workers and foundry men, most of them apparently old enough to vote, waited tor him eagerly, and demanded that he should come down from the platform, He made a short speech, pleading weari- ness and thanking them for the kindly Interest evinced toward himand then retired, At Blairsville Intersection a few people waited and cheered for him. AT BLATIRSVILLE there was quite a crowd, but they were not very enthusiastic. Mr. Greeley walked among them, and talked with a few, who sheepishly gaped at and listened to him; but as soon as the eastward bouna train from Indiana had passed the party again continued its travel, evidently glad to get away. On the arrival ~ at AT INDIANA Another crowd, in Sunday attire, awaited him with afewcheers and an immensity of stupia gazing. He was driven in a carriage to the house of Doctor Mitchell, where he dined, going at twelve ofclock to the Fair grounds. A throng of about five thousand persons were assembled on the grounds, amusing themselves with viewing the animals and promenading until the great time of the day should arrive. When he appeared at the entrance gate the band played “Hail to the Chief,” and the promenading and sight-seeing crowd rushed to meet him, and with cheers and hurrahs escorted him to the music stand, where he DELIVERED HIS ADDRESS, Towards the close of his bucolic apostrophe a drizzling rain came on. Most of the haray old farmers of the neighborhood hoisted their um- brellas, determined that they would hear all the agricultural wisdom of the Philosopher, notwith- standing the inclemency of the weather. At four o’clock the audience broke up, and Mr. Greeley and his party took once more their Pullman car and resumed their journey towards Pittsburg. The route lay back to Blairsviile over the branch road, and there was, of course, no demonstration or speech-making to that point, AT LATROBE there was quite a large crowd of hardy looking voters, while on the balcony of the little station hotel a bevy of ladies were gathered waving flags. The enthusiasm was Zhe hearty for so small a sta- tion, and cheers for Greeley resounded on all sides, Short speeches were made merely returning thanks for the attendance. The iadies of the hotel, calling themselves a small delegation from Louls- 1ana, forwarded to the Philosopher two handsome bouquets and a basket of fruit, with legends wish- ing success. AT GREENSBURG @ still. larger crowd appeared, accompanied by a club wearing Greeley caps and waving a Grecley banner to the strains of a primeval band, To these the great liberai made a speech of two minutes’ length announcing reconciliation as the great work of the day, and Governors Walker and Randolph followed him in speeches similar, at least as to brevity. At Penn and Irwin's station there wes a small crowd, who waited patiently to hear the Phi- losopher notwithstanding the drizzling rain. THE PIITSBURG ORKETING. It was halt-past seven o'clock, quite dark and drizzling. Over twenty thousand people grected the great liberal chief as the train entered the Pittahurg depot. The depot platform was jammed in every inch of space, while outside Liberty street and ali the adioining spaces for at least three blocks were alive with people. From Liberty as far up as Smithfield street, on the sidewalks, in bc shop doors, hanging on to freight cars and aking up all the street, the black mass of men, es lighted up by the torches: apd sulphar e their vi om, surge Philoso- Ores, surged and cheered jn honor of tl pher. Eight ward clubs, numbering 3,000 men, Wearing cireeley capes and white hats afd bearing switdilig torches stood in tio lines facing eae! other, while nineteeh marshals, headed by Chief Marshal J. S. Thorne, were necessary to secure order. Among these clubs were the Second, Fourth, Fifth, the Workingmen’s ena Brown and Buck- alew Clubs and the Greeley Central Club. The houses fronting the depot square were decorated with flags.and BRILLIANTLY ILLUMINATED, while the windows were filled with the faces of men and women. Four carriages awaited the Grecley party, one, intended for the Philosopher himself, being an open one, decorated with flags. As soon as his venerable face was to be seen in the window of the Pullman car cheers went up in the depot and a rush was made forhim. Strong hands kept everybody back, however, until the Pittsburg Committee had dis- covered everything to be all ready, and then on the arm of Governor Randolph, and closely accom- anied by Thomas Marshall, of tne Liberal Repub- Fean County Committee, Wm, D. Moore, cnairman of the Democratic County Committee, and by Gov- ernor Walker, and Aldermen Fitzgeraid and Keck, of Cincinnati, and preceded by three stal art policemen, the Sage ventured into the turbnient sea of upturned faces. A passage way was made for him with diMeulty through the efforts of the policemen, and he resched his carriage finally unharmed. Ashe stepped into the carriage, and standing up looked around on the assembled thou- sands, and took off his hat and bowea, A.ROAR OF ENTHUSIASM went up that was taken up again and continued with occasional fluctuations ot vehemence through- out the entire route to the St. Charles Hotei, some ten or twelve blocks away. The crowd at first made a rush to take the horses out of his carriage, but the committeemen dissuaded them fiom that and the procession moved on, In_ the first carriage rode Governor Walker, Col. Hutchison and the Cin- cinnatians: in the second rode Mr. Greeley, Gover- nor Randolph, Thomas Marshall and William =D. Moore, while the third, fourth and fifth were en- tirely disengaged from the procession by the rush- ing crowd, and found thelr way to the betel by toking @ round about route immediately on leaving the depot. The carriages passed between the lines of the clubs, with their torches LIGHTING UP THE COUNTENANCE OF MR. GREELEY so well that every one tall enough to see over the shoulder of his fellow man saw it, and the cheers which had not subsided roared londer and more heartily than before. The clubs feli in behind the carriages, except @ small escort of honor which, with lighted torches, swung axe-fashion over their shoulders, stalked along on cack side of the car- riage. Three bands discoursed patriotic music throughout, the route, while the procession of torch-bearers alone extended over four blocks. The route a along — Liberty, Smithfeld, Fifth avenue, ‘ood, Irwin, Penn, Sixth street, Market, Fitthavenue and Wood again to the St. Charles Hotel. The houses on both sites of the street were many of them handsomely decorated. Rockets were sent up at nearly every street corner, and sulphur mane were burned at dozens of windows. The City Hal, Convention Hall, where the soldiers and sailors held their Conyen- tion, the ‘a Honge, tue Chronicle and Daily Post offices Were all decorated and iliuminated for the occasion. The cheering never ceased, nor did the crowd diminish, althongh the drizaling rata again putin ar appearance, until the procession had reached the Si, Charlies Hotel, and the Sage had ceased speaking.

FRiLLow CrTizena—The wise king says there is a time for war and a time for peace. (ries of “Gi ” “Bless you.”) The city of Pittsburg has recently witnessed a rehearsal of the pomp and pageantry, war. A very the biazonry and circumstance of civil here, at a vast expenss with th “4 singe 4 e e Bi le pul of rekindling the bitterness and hatred, the animosities and antipathies, the fears and exuita- tions of civil war for the paventeee of @ political ee I take you to witness that the greater por- lon of the journals of Pittsburg, as well as the orators on this » have been trying to make us, the People, hate each other for sake of & partisan advantage. A stranger would imagine, 4 reading the journals the last few Taye! that we were still at warand the purpose was to revive RXASPERATE THE HATRED AND ANIMOSITY OF CLVIL WAR in order to intensify and invigorate their side of the contict. They talk about rebels and traitors. Fel- low citizens, are we uever to be done with this? We demanded of our adversaries in the great civil war that they surrender their arms and go to their homes, They surrendered them, We demanded that they abandon slavery ahd they aban- doned slavery. We demanded that they enfran- chise the blacks and the blacks are enfranchised. None but white men now stand disfranchised on the soil of our country, (Cheers.) We demand that they stipulate the emancipated slaves shall not bo peid for, and that the rebel. debt shall never be paid by the government or by the State, and they assented to that. So faras I can see, every single demand made on the part of the loyal States and the loyal people hag been fully complied with on the part of those lately in rebeilion. RVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE THAT WE ASKED; everything has been conceded, and still they ask as why we want them to repent. Have they not brought forth works meet tor repentance? (Cheers.) And, then, coming together in solemn convention, the representatives of that Southern people have given their assent +o the platform of the Cincinnati Convention, which was the most in- tense, the most complete republican platform that had ever been presented by any national Conven- tion whatever. (Loud an pais dd applause.) All this being done, we are told by these gentlemen roc ant here ‘all this is mockery, all this. is ¥OU DON’T MBAN ANYTHING BY IT,’ and the cry son, “Rebels and traitors, rebels and traitors”’—denunciation, re tion, the same as ever, Four yeara ago, in the Ke; ublican National Convention, it was declared that this properipsion should cease. Four. years ave passed and still itis maintained, There are this day thousands of people in Arkansas alone pro- hibited—the most intelligent, tho most responsible people of that State—forbidden to exercise the right of suffrage, forbidden exclusively by the party that meets here and shouts tor Grant and Wilson. Nobody else asks for proscription but them; no other party requires that any human being should stand proscribed on our soil fora rebellion that ceased seven and a half years ago; no party, no man of any pasty but this, the very party that held a great military parade here this week in order to further and further separate and divide the hearis of the American people from eaca other. (Cheers.) They hold essential to their triumph that “hatred should continue, that distrust, suspicion and alien- ation should contigue.’’ Do what you wili, do what you may, they are determined not to be satis- lied. Now, fellow citizens, it is not enough that those who fought against the Union should be pro- acribed, those of us who stood for it are equally de- nounced, if we do not happen to agree with them in our present politics, (Cheers.) Here stands one who is PuABGED PY, THEM WITH DRING A SECESSIONIST, (Great laughter.) ald that be true, fellow citt- zens? Look the facts in the face. When Lincoin had been elected and this conspiracy for secession began to advance itself, we republicans were told by our own men, and told still more by those ont of the cirele, “You must back out of your republican- ism; you must surrender your opposition to the extension of slavery or con- sent to a great civil war.” This, they sat, was the only alternative—bloodshed and devas- tation over the whole country or you shall surren- der the Feel re on which you have just carried the election, was one of those who said, “No, there is no such alternative. I deny that the Southern people, the great majority of tuem, are against the Union. I demand that there shall be a fair, open, free discussion before that Southern people of an honest, unterrified, unconstrained vote, and If they approve, if the people of the South say ; " TURY WANT DISUNION, f WILL CONSENT TO IT. (Cheers.) I know they will not.” I know that the Southern People, that the great majority, must have voted as they actually did that Winter, not for secession, but for clinging to the Re eatin and now, to-day, if the nation was tobe imperilled and there were just two modes of saving it, to trust to the chances of civil war or to the chances ot a free vote of the Southern people, I would very greatly prefer TO TAKE THE LATTER CHANCR rather than the tormer, (Oheers.) For, fellow citt- zens, they do greatly misunderstand and malign this American people when they assume that in cold blood, belore there had been any clash of arms, the people in the South any more than the people in the North desired ais- union. (Cheers.) in its inception, in its origin, the great masses of those who consented wo this secession movement meant nothing by it but to back down the North and make us consent to the Sanne ot saver, Pe OL) Welt purpose, an purpose my best to resis’ and defeat. (Cheers.) Well, the war is ended. I think it onght to be ended. (A Voice—‘Oh, let us have peace!) We had a great, a terrible, a bloody, @ destructive civil war. Our success was perfect. The defeat of the adversary was more complete than any defeat recorded in history. They have suffered much. They have conceded all. Can- Not We afford to be magnanimous at least? (Cheers.) But see, fellow citizens, they sce that the Southern people may vote, some of them may; but the. in- stant they vote the cry is raised, “See how these feliows vote! They cry, “You must vote the other way. Is that anelection?

[ask you to take the hand held out cw you by our Southern brethren in their adoption of the in- cinnati platform by those who were our enemies, but are again our fellow countrymen. Task you to grasp that hand and say:—‘‘Brotners we differed; we fought; the war is ended. Let us again be fellow countrymen aud forget that we have been enemics.” (Loud applause.)

Feehter at the Union League Theatre. A small but select audience assembied last night at the Union League Theatre to welcome Mr. Fech- ter om his return to the Americam stage. The fact that the performance was to be in Fremch ex- cluded the mass of the public from any inierest in the event; and even were it otherwise the tugh Price of admission would have acted as a bar- rier to anything like @ popular reeeption. Out- side the pleasure which the finished acting of Mr. Fechter always sfforda to people of refined taste, there was little in the programme to attract. The Performance opened with one of those tiresome Productions in which the actors moralize instead of trying to amuse, as though people went to the theatre to listen toelegies, It was from the pen of @ Mr. Francois ( » and claimed. to be an “episode dramatique,” entitled “Fais ce que dois,”” and incutcated what France ought to do in order to due. to, "ths, goed "agus of the ‘wudienoe. te sense oO! audience to State that the patriotic sentiments enunciated were not considered sufficient offset to the stu- pidity and duiness of the “episode.” There was an evident ieeling of relief among the audience when the curtain dropped and the heavy sermon came to an end. The feeling of oppression and sadness produced by this fooliah expression of pa- triotism was only relieved by the appearance of Mr. Fechter in his celebrated 7dle as Frederic de Marsan. When he entered on the stage the audl- ence awoke from thelr apathetic listlessness and ten- dered him a realiy warm reception. Time has dealt with him, not severely, but somewhat unkindly. He looks older, and more fleshy, but as the play advanced he proved that the ravages of time not ‘ived him of any of his old verve, His conception of . the was marked by nervous that finish and details es him in the front rank ef living artists, Of ihe play itself it ig needless to speak; its construc- tion is ingenious and. the dialogue sparkles with quick and subtle repartee, such as fs tnfortu- nately unknown to the “society play” which nowa- days usurps the American stage.

While the grave and the sentimental are lavish ing their patronage on tragedy and romance, the Theatre Comique, under the present judictous Mangement, continues ta attract crowded houses, doubtless on the principle that variety is good for existence.

Novelty seems to be a prominent feature of the entertain- ment, and if last night's performance can be taken as 4 criterion, Hart has struck the key-note of the ad Pome taste. There was nothing wanting to render he programme all that it pretended to be—laugh- ablo ‘sketches, serio-comic songs, prodigious varieties, enjoyable . interludes, characteristi douces, and, in fact, all that could possibly contri- bute to make the entertainment worthy general appreciation. It would perhaps be invidious to mnake distinotions, but the favor with which Miss Annie Adams was received at once proved her popularity. She has been well styled the queen of serio-comic vocalists, and, what with an excellent voice, a winging manner and anirresistible method of making a polat, she fairly carries her auditors Ig storm. But there was an infinite variety throughout, and the pretty songs, so sweetly and artistically rendered by Miss Jennie Hughes, added not a little .o the general excellence of the enter- tainment. himself an actor The rest of the cast calls for no’ Robinson's Champion Circus, The tent of this circus, which is spread in Forty. second etrect, opposite the Grand Central depot, was well filied yesterday afternoon. The pro- gramme for the exhibition contained many novel features, prominent among which were the an- nouncements that Mr, Robinson would perform his chalienge bareback act and that the renowned ca- nine equestrian, “Phil Sheridan,” would ride one of the fastest horses in the profession, jump over bridges, banners and flags, through balloons and hoops, and perform a number of other amusing and Interesting feats, all of which he did to the oe Gratedeion and delight of the audience, fr. Robinson's bareback act, in which he carries his sons, Eugene me Clarence, areund the arena on the for of his head, ae. received with much applause. Clarence iMself pave an exhivition of his skill on horseback, while Bugene went through a series of contortions which called from those present looks of pity and ps of approbation, The Davenport brothers ced, jumped and tambled aronnd the ring like so many thilia-rubber men, Mr. Sharper, on the fiy- ing trapeze, made some of the ladics scream and bury their faces in tieir hands, while the graceful evolutions on the slack wire by Mile. Barnwell drew from both ladies and gentlemen—the latter es- pace —looks and cheers of admiration. Mr. Rob- ingon has the most fexible and numerous corps of tumblers ever got togethor tn one show. Attached to the cirous is a show, in which an immense snake is petted and fondied by a snake charmer in the presence of Miss Powers, the Kentucky fat woman, and her infant brother, the plethora of whose abdo- men gives him the appearance of perfect rotundity. San Francisco Minstrels. Ever popular and attractive, the minstrels of which Birch, Backus and Wambold have been the particular guiding stars are determined to reign long in New York. The St. James Theatre was a very fortunate selection for the wily managers of a troupe which, for variety and genuine fun, could always hold its own. Bryant’s Opera House. The return of Dan Bryant and his excellent troupe is an event worth more than a passing notice, Since his opening at his charming little opera house in Twenty-third street the famous minstrel and actor has been visited by hosts of friends and admire:s, and the amount of versatile alent by which he is surrounded has largely con- tritynted to the present high standard of “Bryant's Minstrels,” ever welcome in every portion Of the United Sta PAULINE pu OA. The fair artist was engaged yesterday in the second rehearsal of “L'Africaine’ at the Academy of Music, There 1s every reason to believe that this will be the opening opera of the season. During the visit of Mme. Lucca last month to her favorite summer resort, Ischl, in Austria, she gave a grand concert for charitable purposes. ‘The following was the programme :—“Polonaise,” Chopin, Herr Hermann Riedel; ‘Das Veilchen,” Mozart, Mme. Pauline Lueca; the page's air, fiom “Les Huguenots,” Meyerbeer, Mle, Carlotte Grossi; air from “Mignon, Thomas, Mme. Pauline Lueca; impromptu, Schubert, Herr Hermann Rtedel ; “Margarethe’s Sougs,” from Scheffel's ‘Trompeter Von Seckingen,” Mile. Grossi; Paladilhe’s “Man- dolinata,”” Mme- Pauline Lucca; duet, Rubinstein, Madame Lucca and Mile, Grossi, The lowest price for a ticket was ten florins, and the sale of tickets, together with the extra sums given by various persons, the Empress of Austria presenting 100 Hlorins, realized 1,500 florins, or £75 sterling, a very pretty ‘sum for the fatr artist to hand over to the ‘poor and needy” of the place. ‘The Emperor and Empress of Austria happened to be at Ischl at the time, and though the Emperor was In mourning and therefore could not attend the concert, the Grand Duchéss Sophia did, and was enchanted. Next morning the Emperor sent his chief alde-de-camp to Madame Lucca with the proposal of an en; ent, on the part of His Majesty, for the pew Grand Opera which now replaces the time-honored Karntuerthir— terms 100,000 gulden annually, for three years, with six months’ congs and a ensi0n of 20,000 Iden.

With Greeley at Last!—His Doctored Letter te the Republican Committes—About to Ae- copt a Democratic Nomination. PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 19, 1872. Tt ts said there is no logic so foretble as che logie- of events, and this is strangely demonstrated’ by the following, which may tend to change eltirely” the complexion‘of the campaign in this State. It will be remembered that shortly after the returm of Governor Curtin trom Europe he was waited om by @ spectal committee of repubitcans, Biestly per- sonal friends and old coadjntors. This committee of select friends were authorized to offer the ex- Minister the republican nomination for Gengreas- Maan irom Bellefonte, his own district. It was known, however, that Curtin, on account of sick- ness and previously expressed determination not to go to Congress, would not accept the nomina— tion; but it was fully expected that his formal re- fusgl, would be accompanied by a declaration im favor of Grant and the administration. Fora considerable time Curtin remained in # precarious condition, and he was physically uaabie to reply to the: committees, ON THR FENCE STILL, At length, finding himself but slightly improvea and that the commovest courtesy demanded that he should take some action in the premises, he for- warded the document to a friend in this city, with the request that he would reply to the committee and gsorupulsusly avold a remarks that might tend to compromise him, but to thank them in his name for the honor conferred, accepting it only asa compliment patd to him on his return by a circle of personal friends. In accordance with these in- structions a letter was written, submitted to Cur- tin, received his approval and duly placed in the hands of the gentlemen above mentioned. Shortiy after this, it seems, he saw what purported to be & copy of his letter in the hands of a gentleman, aut was horrified to see that it had been so altered aa. to make it appear that he was only waiting to re- cover his health in order to declare himself tor the. republican nominees, THE SIMON PURE LETTER, This s the passage as it was originally written:— “Lam pnopureged y my physicians to hope that after a little while of absolute rest, skilful med: treatment, freedom from care and excitement, may become strong enough to discuss the pendin, pubifc issues. My convictions are well settled, ant will be frankly and fully expressed when Iam able to do so with justice to myself,” AS ALTERED, The above is certainly ambiguous, but the inter- pretation as set ferth by some one in authority ou the republican side is ag followa:—“I may become strong enough to assist you to discuss the pending olitical issues.” Owing to this misrepresentation, he has forwarded the first copy of the original let- ter to the gentlemen who wrote it out in the first in Mrs. Curtin’s handwriting, with the last-cited: extract written in pencil by himself, calling his at- tention to it with a view of having it corrected in some way. He has also written a letter, the firat. he has penned for a long time, in which he treata the political situation in Pennsylvania in @ man- ner that leaves little doubt of his intentions and ta which side his convictions lead him. THE TRUE STATE OF THE CASE. Having seen the letter in the hands of the re- cipient, a leading liberal republican here, I am tm position to state the facts. From this tt sppears: that just previous to the recent strong republican reaction against the liberal democratic movement Curtin was offered the democratic nomination candidate at large to the Constitutional Conven- tion, that b consisting of fourteen members from each side being elected by special agreement, without opposition, It is considered a great honor to become & member of this Convention, and when elected the members have considerable influence, owing to their power in dealing with amendments to the constitution and other important matters ia the State. SIDES WITH THE LIBERALS. Governor Curtin has been loth to give any indica- tlons a8 to his acceptance of the nomination, part- ly on account of being compelled to take it from the democrats—the tberals being powerless in thia Fespect and pee because he was uncertain when his health yould permit of his taking an ac- tive part in matters political. His health having improved, however, and Bigelow, the democratia gandiaate for fhe Constitutional Convention, hav- Ing withdrawn in his favor, he has signified iis in- tention of accepting the nomination, and his formal declaration. may be by this time in the hands of liberal leaders and will soon be made known throughout the State. Of course it cannot yet be said to what ee Cartin may indicate his con- victions, but leading liberals to-night think he wilt announce himself as being absolutely in favor of the CinlanAe nominees and the movement im general, A BOURBON STATE TIOKET NOMINATED IN INDIANA.
