A COMPARISON.

The New York Tribune declares that the Hon.
George Il. Pendleton, the Democratic candidate
for the Vice Presidency is fully committed to the
"lawfuness of secession" In support of this
assertion the Tribune processes to quote from some
remarks made by Mr. Perdleton in the House of
Representatives on the 18th of January, 1861, as
follows:
"f these Southern States cannot be- conciated and if
you gentlemen cannot lind It 10 your hearts to grant their
demandsif they must leave the family mansion would
sigDalzs their departure by tokens of love would bid
them farewell enderly that they would forever be
touched by the recollection OF it, And it, ia the vicss
tades OF their separate they should desire to come
together with us agan In common Government there
should be no pride TO be bumiaed there should be no
wound inflicted from y hand to be healed They should
come and be welcome to the place they occupy"
LII this language of regret at the refusal of the
Southern States to be conciliated, and at the re-
fusal of the Republican party in Congress, to make
such concessions rs would meet their demands. be
construed into committal to the rightfulness of
secession, what does the Tribune think of the fol-
lowing declaration found in its own columns three
days Afterwards? We quote from an editorial in
the Tribune of January Il, 1861, signed Horace
Greeley"
What demand 10 proof that the Southern peope
really desire separation from the Free States Uhsnsper
assured that such IS their setted nsh shall jopfuy CO.
operate rih them 10 secure the end they seek"
Whatever else may be said against Mr. Greeley,
nobody can accuse him of not keeping his faith
with tho disafected people of the South. He more
than once promised in the winter of 1S60-'6l to
"forward their views" and "joyfully to cooperate
with them " in securing their independence. 50
soon as he once conceived that they really desired
separation, and now that there is little room for
doubt on this point he has done and is still doing
all that in him lies to make his word good. One
cannot but admire such fidelity, however its mi,di-
reotion to the support Of an evil cause is to be
deplored by the friends of the Union.
