%, 1862 in writing to this same Greeley,
reprchcnding his Abolition rashnoss, he
said. II am for the Union with or without
slavery. Whatever do, or iorbear to do, |
am for the Union. | applauded that SEN
timent then and reprobatcd the course Of
Greeley Now we have to applaud Greeley
and rcprobate Lincoln. MIR. Greeley, in an
editorial of yesterday, says, that the pacii-
cation of the country * neither so didicuH
nor so distaRt as seems to bc generally sup
posed. This is full ofmcaning. ltmeans
/ that the Union is not impossible, with hon
orable dealing to restore it. But so far as
! Mr.. Lincoln is concerned, he made it i'm
possible by his conduct. The people are
/ Wondering these things. Already to my
own knowledge, hundreds who once gave
! him their countenance, are withdrawing 1t
and turning to wiser counsels for deliver
ance from these troubles.
Will not history, nay, will not the living
present curse this cxecrable tool of fanatic
ism, who thus, even in the agony and anti
Gle of our national demise, filings away the
hopes and interests Of this nation?
A Voice.-God d-n him. Laughter
and cheers)
Mr.. Cox.-I cannot join in the earnest
imprccation of my gentle friend. (Laught-
cr. While do invoke that Providence may
deal mcrcifuly with the President, ! pray
that the people in November will damn him
to an Immortality of iniamy. Immense
applause Think Of it, i'll the very midst
Of the strife, while calling aloud to some
seventeen States Of the old Union to send
him half million more to be added to the
two million who are wasted and wasting
when about to consume $500, 600, 900
Of the result Of labor, to be added to the tive
thousand millions already spent; in tn,
midst of war of bereavement, destruction
desoIation and death uneqalled, this cxccu
tive tnHer this retailer of smutty stories
this vulgar tyrant over men thoughts
opinions, presses, letters persons, and lives
re ects the bcscl opportunity which the An
gel Of Peace tenders to our afflicted land
for Il restoration of the Union and the saliva
ton Of our Government. Cheers.
! cannot sympathize with those who, de
sparing of the returning affection and al
lcgancc Of the South have been too read,
to bid her farewell forever. love her to-
dearly as part OF my own lllc and as par
Of the national being! can only say o
her.
Ifflrcwcll-ls to fare apart
And dsunitcd-then iarewell--ncucr!
There is but one hope left You canno
have peace by and through him, bWyou ca
/ dcjcU him in NOrcmbcr. His defeat re
moves the lmpcdlmentst to peace and Union
/ His retiracy gives freedom to the white,
not to the black; freedom from Illegal al
rest for thought, for expressions; freedom
from war and for peace? Freedom an

, praise to God and our nation to its old posi-
