Mr. GREELEY proceeds to spur up the

TO rs as if it was really intended speclali!
for our own representatives, Mr.. HUB
BARD and Mr.. WILEY. We commend "
n their attention. They are in Tor H.
and if they do not now go the wnole
hog" they will be read out of the he
nnblican party before 1866 is past.
We cannot give the whole OF MI
GREELY's argument, for his article Is a
long one. But his main point is about
this: Do not be afraid-adopt promptly
the necessary measures to enforce negro
suffrage throughout the Union. AS soon
as the question is settled, and the people
find they cannot help themselves they
will submit
Thus he says: The people never
fight long over dead issue When q
Question has really been irrevocably set,
fled, those who do not fully approve OF
the settlement nevertheless speedily &C,
ouiesce, and forget their resentment
toward those who achieved the work.
This has been illustrated hundred
times If the mass of the col,
ored people are once endowed with the
right of suffrage, it will be as impossible
to take it away from them as it would
be to drive the waters OF the Atlantic
from their bed. The work once done
would be done forever. It then; toe

places, with equal outrage established by

| impossible to maintain any long contro-
versy upon the subject"
Jlo object of this is not to 3eueci the
negro, but 20 secure party power. who
can estimate" says Mr.. GREELEY " the
rermanent addition to the strength Of a
party which creates six. hundred thou
sand new voters by single measure, all
of whom know that they owe 10 It every
privilege which they enjoy
These reflections" he tells IL, lead
lis to the conclusion that the great want
of our statesmen at the present moment
is colrdos.' hut he assures his Republi-
can brethren that victory will surely
attend bold and compreho2siTe meas
ures; while timidity and teulporizing
will lead to inevitable defeat.
