M: Ana here let me ask a question or two
Inc Democrat seems to condemn Greeley
tor his - malignity to General Mcclellan.
This would imply that endorccd the Gen.
cral. Is it so? Does the editor of the
Democrat endorse the war in which General
cclcllan is the chictactor? The General
endorses this War, or he wsuld have nothing
to do with it. His heart and soul are in it.
If therefore, the editor of the Democrat
does not endose this war, but rcpudiatcs ii
as he dlw"ys has dOne, with the utmos;
''malignty,' it is plain that he does not
endorse the General. and probably holes as
much malignity towards him rs Greeley
does.
Aud the Democrat SAYS, Shut for the
Greelcy'S &c, there would have been no
rebellion" Now do not Justify the conduct
of ultra abolitionistS. but give them their
share OF the responsibility in this wicked
rebellion. But the recorded fncfs of history
do not place this evil entirety at the door of
abolitionism | know it is snM by many.
and perhaps honestly thought by some. that
secession was caused by abolitionism. But
not so. This is proven in the fact that the
germs OF secession were seen springing up
out of the soil of South Carolina where they
had been sown from the multiplying hands Of
John & Calhoun long before Greeley a. Co.
were dreamed of Aboliiunism. therefore.
though it may he concomitant auXilcrv to
this rebellion, has not been its cause. But
secession was the cause of this rebellion
because secession began it. The seeds of
this rebellion were sown by John G.. Calhoun
long before the ''ngger was in the uucs-
ton. These seeds grew and were cultivated
by the aristocracy of the South until
the plants blossomcd lin the Democrat
Convention) in South Carolina, where the
seed had been planted twenty eight years
before. And i'll the presidential election of
1860. the harvest was ready for the reaper;
and shall Il man not reap that he hath sown?
The " chlvalry are now reaping what they
have Sown. These are facts. The Grecleys
could never have produced this rebellion
They have been but the pgmv aids of Cal,
houn, Yancy, Rhctt e. Go. Nor can it he
said that the origin and rapid growth of the
Republican party was the work of the
Grcclcys. 1t was the spontaneous uprising
