letter in the New York Times, answering
Mr.. GRERLxx's reply to former letter.

essential facts before the people First,
that rebellion was certam; and, second,
that it required united North to pre-
serve the Government and Union. And
here I split with Greeley, Phillips and
Sumner, who were rampant for abolition,
regardless lota the Union. Phillips pro-
claimed himself in, favor of freedom for
the slave, or death to the Union :" while
Greeley, as have proved, invited the
Southern States to withdraw from the

For the first three years Of the war our
great and imminent danger was that we
should become fatally divided at the
North. Ultra Abolitionists ini Congress,
with Mr.. Chase in the cabinet, Wendell
Phillips ON the stump, aided by the In
bu,se, Independent, &C., were uniting and
intendfying the South, and almost as ef3ec-
tually dividing the North. Indeed, moth

If the Democratic party had been half
loyal in 1868 it would have carried the
State elections; and in 1864, if Vallan-
digham, Seymour, Pendleton, &C., &C.,
had not lacked both patriotism and sense,
the Democracy would have triumphed.

Observation-Disclosures, instead OF devotion to
the government and Union, Greeley, Sum
