UNION “SICKET. YOR PRESIDENT, ‘GENERAL ULYSSES 8. GRANT For Vice President, scHUKLEaCOLFAX. . .’ Owe Worp vor Frrepom.—In other climes, on one of the loveliest isles ef ; Greece, a desperate struggle for freedom is going on. That straggle arrests the attention of every lover of liberty, -_. every friend of humanity, throughout the contest interest every countryman of Washington, for it is one involving the right of a gallant people to be free from the galling yoke of Turkish bond(age. The Cretans are descendants of _ ancient Greeks ; they have no sympa' thies in common with their oppressors. ‘Different in language, race and religion, though for two hundred kept in subjection by the Turks, they can. never forget their origin, nor can the remembrance of their ancient independence and: freedom” be obliterated. “Tradition” tells these brave sons of Hellas what their ancestors were; they look about them—they behold what the descendents have become, and seeing the flag of the Sultan and the flashing of Turkish cimeters beneath, they read the cause of their misery and degradation. Who shall say that a resistance to oppression by the. Cretans is not just ?— As Daniel Webster said, when the claims of Greece to independence in 1824 were discussed in the American / Senate: “If men muy not resist the Spanish inquisition and the Turkish --simeter, what is there to which humanernment, moyed by the eloquence of Webster and Clay, extended its moral ____Stipport_ to the straggling Greeks in their war for in ndence, and what . eloquence of gratityde came back to us from the land of Socrates, Pericles, Demosthenes and Solon. The American name is sounded with praises in all ~ that region once the cradle of civilization. In 1868 a similar case is presented for the consideration of Americans, to that which engrossed our sympathies ~ in 1824, More sons Of iioble sires, men of Grécian ‘stock, are determined to en_--@ure abtise and oppression no longer. — ~~ feat i their will to be free as far as bravery and endurance have been called upon togo. They have beaten their tyrants in many battles. Yet the struggle continues. The war has been protracted long enough. The Cretans, by every consideration of religion, race, language and local position, deserve to be free. But whatis this that binds the nations of the earth to inaction, when ing—men, women and children—in a cause which is as sacred as anything under the sun? At atime when the heart of every humanitarian beats tumultuous; when the sword of every lover of liberty should leap from its scabbard; when a shout should go up from all christendom, of “down with Turkish tyranny,” and thronging thousands should rise with arms to ratify ny, for their sacred rights? -. of the Grecian stock to be wantonly They are in arms, and have made good a gallant people are suffering and dythe declaration—why is it that the nations whose civivilization_borrowed its Promethean spark from Greece look on with folded hands and seeming indifference when the sons of those who gave art, law and literature to the ' world are contending, few in number, famished with hunger and with feeble _ hands, against a most monstrous tyranIt is because forcible intervention in . the affairs of other nations has been de_ clare® by the svi disant civilized pow_. ers. of Europe to be a violation of the public law-of the world, We’ submit tothe law, but only so far as its application is in behalf of humanity and justies, But it does not and should not apply to Crete. The hands of our gov{pagan be tied by no such statpane: ‘Our vessels of war, ion Spite £: Westem Rice; ar us remember the horrors of the massacre of Scio—more than one . Phandred thousand men,. women and children butchered in cold blood by heartless and blood-thirsty Moslems,— tendom of allowing thousands more sacrificed for the sin of aspiring and daring to be free? What is the American Premier about? The National Congress, has it no sympathies for a suffering humanity-in other-quarters of the globe?. A few electric words; a bold enunciation of feeling for oppressed nationalities from the Republic, would do wonders. Let the words be fitlyspoken, Sentence or TyLER.—At the opening of the County Court yesterday morning, the motion for a new trial in the case of Tyler was taken up. J. 1. Caldwell argued that the verdict was contrary to law and the evidence in the case, and also introduced an affidavit of Tyler in which it was set forth that Beckett, the foreman of the jury used. improper means to secure a verdict.— The affidavit set forth that Beckett declared in the jury room that defendant ought to be punished whether guilty or not, and that ‘the verdict. was a compromise. These points were argued by Mr. Caldwell at length. He was followed by District. Attorney Cross, who stated that the ‘conversations and discussions of jurors in the room could not affect the verdict. Judge Niles overruled the motion and asked Tyler if he had anything tosay. _The defendant arose and said, substantially; ina deep bass voice ; “I feel gentlemen,that I have not been lawfully dealt with in this trial and that I am unjustly convicted of the charge. In the first place its a conspiracy, and if 1 was allowed the privilege, I-conld prove that a certain gentleman of this city approached Dorsey and urged him to prosecute this case; Dorsey said he had no money, rand he said he Would furnish money, Gentlemen,that man was foreman of the Grand Jury and sat’ ‘on my~ case, The charge is not proved. I am an innocent man and this is a conspiracy of the people. Lam sorry tosay 1 did wrong. Tam an old man, but let my days be long or short I am resolved to suffer out my three score years and-ten. The Points proved tend to let me go, but my being a preacher and an old man was against me, I can’t live no longer than God’s appointed time, and though I have fallen, I shall fight out the battle—(at this point seme of the colored people in the Court room laughed and Tyler addressed them)—You may smile my friends, but let me warn you to repent, for the day of battle is coming.— I took the girl when not one of the colored people from here to Grass Valley would give her a hole to put her head. Gentlemen; I am an old man and will be parted from my wife in her old age.” The Judge then sentenced T'yler to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for five years, <te. MBETING AT Rover & Reapy.—Hon. A.A. Sargent will address the people of Rough & Ready township at Rough & Ready, on Thurseday night. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Grant Club recently organized at that place. The loyal men of the township should turn ont in force. THE JocKEY CLuB.—The Jockey Club will meet at Glenbrook Park on next Wednesday afternoon to complete arrangements for the races which are to commence on the 22d day of J uly. Large purses will be offered by the Club and there is every prospect that the racing will be the best ever seen in the county. _ Mrnixe Location.—J. 8. Houghton & Co. have located twenty-one hundred feet of the bed and banks of Greenhorn for mining Purposes, ealled the “out of water” -.
