Greedy, drawn in one of his speeches during the
late campaign. The General was dissectng one
Of the Scott tracts when he drew the portrait
. This pamphlet (holding up one) was issued
from the press of Horace Greedy, editor of the

able man. He is the whitest man In the world.
His skin is milk white-his hair is white and
thin, and scattering. He wears white hat and
white coat; and | must be permitted to give
1t to you as my candid opinion, that his iicer is
OF the same color. There is another peculiarly
about Horace that must not fail to notice. Ii
is said that when he gets up of morning. he
