ana o. manly hrmnsss." Being fully satis6ed Of
the ant-slsvery- feelings Of Msssrs BELL
and BORIS, Greeley. in speech which he delivered
at osswatomie Kansas, on the 18th of May, stand
ing on the very soil which had been stained with the
best blood Of the South in defence Of her costitu
onal rights against the lsElessness Of the abolition
enisssIies who had been sent to Kaneas by eREEIEz
and his brother fanatics, said
s'But shall be willing to support such man as
JoRS BELL, or JOHN NJ. BORIS or better still)
EDWARD BATES, for next President, upon distinct
and open understanding that be WELD the power
with which he may thus be entrusted, not 20 extend
and farify slavery, but to limit and restrict II 10
the States whereby it is still cherished Except on
this basis, no union on any but Republican tor
next President is possible could be rendered ei-
fective."
only 8 few weeks before this, GREELEY announced
that JoHS Bell, who was then in New York "hob-
noheing with the Republicans" (as the National
! Era stated had avOWed himself in favor OF g

In the came speech from which We have quoted
above, Mr.. GREELEY, addressing the freedom
shriekers of Kansas speaks in high praise of other
distinguished leaders Of the Tennessee Opposition.
"ALI. HONOR" says he, 'To TIE NAMES OF The
DoRE G. HUM, of Louisiana, EMERSON ETaERIDGE
AND VIM, CULLOM, OF TENEEssKE, AND THEIR EOsLE
CoNPATRIoTs." Mr.. ErHERIDGE isRoW put forward
BY his party in the Tenth District their candidate
for Congress, and is one Of the men who will re-
ceive the hOnOrs and emoluments of the Opposition
party, should it succeed in establishing its suprema
CT, according to the programme Of Messrs. BELL
and GREELEY. He has q large Interest in THU
KnOw-NothiDg Black Republican jOint-sock com
pany, and is using all his energies to secure the
success Of the Opposition through the election o.
JOHN NETHERLAED.
Nor is Horace GREELEY the only abolitcnis
who endorses Mr. ErHEBIDaE. In 1856, when h'
introduced his celebrated slavetrade resolution int
Congress, the entire abolition press we're rapturou
in their eulOgies The Radical A6Ollaonist said tht
resolution not only condemned the African slave
trade, but "the practice of slavehOding," and tht
Black Republicans of Pennsylvania, on the 9Th inst
incorporated the very language of that resolution
into their platform.
Messrs. BELL, ETHERIDGE and company hsviRl
thus reduced their party leaders to perfect agree
n.snt with the Black Republicans on the only prse
teal questions affecting the interests of the South
are receiving from their allies the reward of thei
subserviency Black Republican nomination fol
the Presidency may probably be offered to Mr.. BELL
or the nomination for the Vice Presidency on thu
SEwARD ticket to Mr.. ETHERIDaE, as recompens
for their services Such result may reasonably
be expected In view of the wonderful harmony o
sentiment between the Opposition leaders in Ten
nessee and the Black Republicans.
