The Splendid speech OF senator Davis
'sThat Horrible Monster, Greeley"
The speech of Senator Davis, of Kentucky,
In the Senate, ON Thursday, was Of the right
stamp. Its premises, its logic and its conclu-
sioIs were right its utterance bold, loyal and
true; Its eloquence terse and telling; its de-
fence of tho President and the constitutional
policy of the war was admirable; and not less
right, true and timely were its rebukes to the
abolitionists and denunciation Of "that horrible
monster, Greeley"
1t were mere waste of words to demonstrate
the incOntrovertible fact that in effect abolition
ism and secessionism are the same thing, and
that these detestable isms are equally inimical
to the Union. "That horrible monster, Gree
ley" Long ago Garrison pronounced the
agreement with hell" and JEFF. Davis himself
could not hate that constitution more, or
desire it to be more disgraced. 'That
horrible monster, Greeley" Phillips, another
leading abolitionist, congratulated his fol-
lowers upon the secession of South Carolina,
and lauded the scheme of Southern cOnfede-
racy. "That horrible monster, Greeley"
The abolitionists are now giving aid and COM
Tort to the rebels by fomenting disturbances in
the Union army, exposing Union plans and mis-
representing the Union policy. "That horri-
BILE monster, Greeley" Yet, in defiance of
these facts, the Tribune, the organ of the abo-
ltionists, daily charges that the Northern seces-
aionicfo ohoIit;opictc hut tho
stitutional conservatives. "That horrible
monster, Greeley"
The Tribune itself is a proof that the aboli-
tonists are disunionists. "That horrible mon
ster, Greeley" Its daily issues are filled with
attacks upon the Union army, the Union gene
rails and the Union policy, and with treason
able revelations of the forces and destinations
Of Union expeditions. "That horrible mon
ster, Greeley" Nowadays these aids to
rebellion are covered with thin mask of pro-
fessed loyalty but just before the Bull run
massacre drove its editor into brain fever of
fright, sent its business agent to the HERALD
office to entreat our mercy, and subdued the
paper generally, the Tribune's treason was more
rampant. "That horrible monster, Greeley"
We have lately treated our readers to surfeit
of Southern rebel poetry, and we give below
specimen from the Tribune of the screeds Of the
Northern rebels, which every once in while
break out in that journal-a foul eruption of
bad rhymes
THE AMERICAN FLAG.
(From the New York Tribune.l
All hail III, Haunting lie!
Tho str-s grow pale and dim.
The stripes bloody
lie the Wanting hymn.
II shields pirates deck,
II binds man in chains
1t yOkes the captives mock,
And wipes the bloody stains.
"That horrible monster, Greeley"
Tear down the haunting lie
Half mast the starry fagi
Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted ragl
Destroy 1t, yo who cant
Deep sink II in the waves
II bears fellow man
To groan with fellow slaves
"That horrible monster, Greeley"
Fur, furl, the boasted liei
Till Freedom lives again.
To rulo once moro in truth
Among untrammelled men.
Roll up the starry sheen.
Conceal its bloody stains;
For In its folds seen
Tho stamp Ct rustlng chains.
"That horrible monster, Greeley"
Is that journal truly patriotic which sanctions
such infamous abuse of our country and its
flag? "That horrible monster, Greeley" Is
that journal true to the Union which applies to
the glorious Stars and Stripes language fit only
for the odious stars and bars of the rebels,
"That horrible monster, Greeley" Has any
rebel poet ever so vehemently and bitterly as
sailed the flag of our Union as does this aboli-
zionist of the Tribune? "That horrible mon-
ster, Greeley" No doubt the sentiments of
this song of the Northern rebels will be largely
appreciated in Dixie. 'That horrible monster
Greeley" The rebels are the men to "tear
down." "halfmast" and destroy" our flag and
the Tribune is the journal to encourage them.
That horrible monster, Greeley" 1t has
fully earned the appointment of the official
organ of jeff Davis government, and we hope
that it will receive its reward Immediately.
g That horrible monster, Greeley" A refer
ence to the Tribune Almanac, where the officers
of the rebel Congress are given with. and in
the same form as, those Of our own, will show
that it has already begun its rebel official pub
locations. "That horrible monster, Greeley"
There seems to us little difference in crimi-
nality between the past practice of the Tribune
in directly encouraging the rebels AID its
present attempts to discourage and hinder the
Union forces; but its former utterances were
undoubtedly more honest and open. "That
horrible monster Greeley" Thus we find it,
long before the bombardment Of Sumter, and
when the HERALD was urging upon Buchanan to
call out seventy-fve thousand militia and sup
press the rebellion, preaching in favor of let
ting JEFF Davis alone:-
From the Tribune, Nov Q, 1860

do better out Of tho Union than In we insist on
letting th,m 60 In peace The right secede may be
revolutionary one; but 1t exists, nevertheless. .
