Horace Greeley, the 'prophet," :" has re Gently
become singularly friendly toward JEFF. Davis,
taking the position in the Tribune that the
'arch traitor" ought not to be punished for
treason, but should receive full pardon in com .
mon with all other southern rebels. Some at
tribute this change of base, or rather base
change, to Greeleys magnanimity, while others
are at a loss to solve the question. But the
'prophet'' is perhaps taking peer uto the dim
future, revolving in his mind the ominous word
of President Johnson, that "treason must be
made odious." But little while ago Greeley
proclaimed to the world that the glorious
old American flag was "a Haunting lie" and
that the Constitution of our republic was "a
league with hell and a covenant with death"
that the traitor John Brown was "martyr and
Saint" Perhaps the prophetic Horace has
a vivid recollection of his past course, and
fearing that some dreadful retrbution may be
impending over the heads Of "leading traitors
North, as well as South, now seeks to make
treason respectable in order that he himself with
his treason tainted cOadjutors, may escape pos
slbie future punishment. 1t is hardly possible
that Greeley is now moved by any feelings of
human kindness towards jeff. Davis and the
leading traitors of the South-the very men he
has for years been constantly damnng Why
should he bethe first in his party to rush to res
cue JEFF. Davis from well merited punishment
for the crime Of treason if he does not fear that
he or some of his intimate friends may be tried
and punished for grave offenses? If this is not
4 clue to Greeley's leniency toward arch trait
ors we are at a loss to conjure up reasonable
one. But jeff will be tried for treason in spite
of Greeleys Efforts in his behalf, and if found
guilty, punished with death. 1t is time that
treason should be made odious and that trait
ors should be made to suffer the death penalty
IF this principle had been carried out years
ago treason would not have had the power to
iDaugurate civil war and deluge the land with
fraterHal blood. Let men accused of treason
and properly indicted, receive fair and impair
tial trial, as guaranteed by the Constitution,
and then if found guilty, let them be hung, and
good citizens everywhere, North and South,
who lore liberty and law, and who venerate the
Union, will say Amen.
