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

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?

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,
