Senator Dooittle, in a recent speech 10
the Senate, severely criticised the course
Of the New York Tribune, in concedine
the inherent right Of secession, at the
commencement Of the Southern Rebellion
in 1861. In the Tribune Of the 7th, M.
Greeley "jus. this once" more, defines
his position. After reciting at length ths
disloyal ut,erances and action Of the Dem.
ocrats in power and out of power at the
North, he takes look into the future, and
here is what the crotchety Horace despond.
ingly says:
Now. Mr.. Dooli,tle, am one Of that
small, perhaps, but increasing class Of
Republicans who have grown weary Of
this. We have had about enough OF fight.
ing the Southern Rebels in our front and
the Northern Dem ocrats in our rear. Our
property, our lives, are at the disposal of
the Government, and will be cheerfully
rendered up for the maintenance Of the
Union but We do not believe the war can
be long protrac,ed unless the Democratic
party can be compelled to abandon its
completely with red. handed treuson-
While it shall continue to carry elections

cowardice, the dslosalty, and the avarice
of the muItitude---w bile it does not hest.
tate to say, Vote tho Democratic ticket,
and the draf, will be arrested, the war
taxes repealed, and the currency restored
to solvency By speedy peace appre-
Eend that the most earnes: efforts Of the
Republicans will be put forth in vain.
re- ,,,t
let the people Of the loyal States unl'edl7
resolve that the rebellion shall be pu,
down, and its last ember will be dead by
June next. We have the men and the
means, and can fight the rebels on: Of
