unnrsr GREELEY.

A Northern Democratic paper says
great many people think Horace Greeley
an honest man, and yet he, who has
been bowling for years about the wrongs
of negroes, went to Washington to urge
President johnson to sign a bill that
reduced eight millions of white people
to q more abject slavery than the Poles,
the Irish, the Hungarians or the Gre
tans have ever suffered. In fact, 30
negro was ever placed in such an abject
condition. To show the consistency, as
well as the honesty of this apostle OF
despotism, we exhume scrap, aboutten
wears old. On the 2sth of May, 1856,
this same Horace Greeley offered the
following, among other resolutions at the
Republican State Convention, at SYRIA
cuse, New York
Resolred, That the rights of the States,
and of the people located in the Terri
tories, are just objects of soliciiude and
support, and we condemn the efforts
making in our day, to fuse all political
power into one indiscriminate and orer-
shadoping sectiondlism, as contrary to
the faith Of our fathers, and perilous to
Republican Institutions.

A Great Enterprise.

The Pacific railroad is the most stu
pendous undertaking Of the age, whether
considered in itself as an engineering
triumph, or viewed in connection with
its results This gigantic work is being
gradually but steadily pushed forward,
and though but little talked about, the
amount of labor already accomplished is
sufficient to excite wonder.
The Union Pacific railroad, when com
pleted, will resemble gigantic letter Y
with the expansion looking eastward.
Two rival companies are contending for
the trade that must accumulate at the
eastern extremity Of the main line. One
company represents the interests OF
Chicago, whence a new line traverses
Iowa to Omaha, and the forks of the
Platte river-the present terminus.
Thence line will be carried two hundred
and eighty miles to a point on the
Laramie plains, where the rival road
from ST. Louis will unite with that from
Chicago
The present terminus of the st. Louis
road is at Junction City, four hundred
and Fifty miles east of Denver, which
city is one hundred and twenty miles
from the point of intersection on Lara
mic Plains From this point the road
will cross the Rocky mountains and
stretch to the valley and city of Great
| Salt Lake. Westward Of Salt Lake it
will cross the desert, follow the course
of the Humboldt river, and reaching the
eastern boundary of California, join the
Central Pacific railroad, already in run
ming order to Sacramento and San Fran
cisco, one hundred and thirty-ni miles.
| The total distance from San Francisco
to New York via Chicago will be two
thousand nine hundred and ffty-eight
miles, which it is expected the passenger
trains will pass over in six days. 1t is
hoped that the entire road will be in ope-
ration as early as the summer Of 1870.
The completion Of this magnificent en-
terprise will be an epoch in American
history, and a bond Of union between
widely separated regions Of country.

suMNFR Vs. SATAN.

The Cincinnati Enquirer compares
Sumner to the chief parsonage in one of
the kingdoms to which the evil spirits Of
earth are translated after death. This
parsonage tried to tempt the Redeemer,
by showing him all the kingdoms of this
world, and promised to bestow them all
upon him, if he would only bow down
aud adore the tempter. Sumner acts in
like manner. he disposes Of the lands Of
the South, to which he has no more pre-
prietorv right than Satan had to the
kingdoms which he offered to bestow as
the reward for adoring him. Sumner il
satisfied with the homage of the negro
Satan coveted the homage Of the man
God. This is the difference between
Sumner and his prototype. One wa
boundless in his ambition, the other i
satisfied with negro worship.

he observed that Mr. johnson admits
substantially that the passage of this bill

justification to the Southern States for

Washington, Hampden and Sidney.
What people would refuse TO pass through

ipiouitous war upon them, hail this re-
luctant admission, forced at last from

warfare against them2 Let no one say
that consistency and adherence to prin-
ciple are of no moment The time is not
distant when full justice will be done to

to those at the North who opposed it to
the extent of their ability"

Elementary bill is hailed with pleasure,
because it effectually prevents conflicting

History REPEATING.

Hume, in the History Of England,
while recording the events of the Crom-
wellian rule, says The only support
of the faction which had violently
usurped the government was an army OF
80 900 men. This army still maintained
hat all those enormous violations Of
law and equity of which they had been
guilty, were justified by the success with
which Providence had blessed them; and
they were ready to break out into any
new disorder wherever they had the
prospect of a like sanction and author
ty. They declared it necessary that
heir enemies should be punished, and
at last claimed right Of remodeling
the whole government, and settling the
nation"

The designations in the British minis

of Lords, lord Derby expressed his re-
greet at these designations, and said that
the Government would speedy again be

introducing a new Reform bill, and
move its second reading on the Monday
following, and if it went into committee,
he should ask the House to complete its
passage The Times, in leader ON the

nFsTIrUTIoN IN THE SOUTH,

The accounts from the South, says the
St. Louis Republican, report a state OF
destitution there which is simply terrible.
Famine at this season means literal
starvation before the crops come in, un-
less there is relief from abroad; and
that starvation is impending may be
easily inferred from the following state
ment from perfectly trustworthy source,
which reveals the condition of things in

from three hundred and sixty six per-
sons. The most of them are without
bread, and are actually subsisting on
corn husks and whatever they can get to
preserve life upon, while there are others
who have one and two bushels OF corn
vet, but without any means to get more.
Some have horse or two, and are trying
to raise little crop, but have little or
nothing to live upon.
The estimate is that there are over fifty
thousand people who, if they are to be
kept alive, must be fed by charity from
without, at cost Of over two millions OF
dollars.

CALL FOR A CONVENTION.

In another place we publish call Tor
State Convention, issued by the Con-
servatiye members of the Legislature OF
this State. 1t strikes us that the source
from which this call emanates, is
eminently appropriate. 1t carries an
authority with it that will command
respect and secure general acquiescence.
These gentlemen have just emerged from
the midst Of a Legislature that has
attempted to overthrow, and may have
overthrow, the liberties Of the people OF
Tennessee. There is no privilege ordi-
narily secured by legislation that they
have not assailed. There is not
burden they have lightened, but on
the contrary, have invented new
ones to harass and exasperate more
than three-fourths of our population. 10
sit down under the shadow of these great
wrongs, and make no struggle to dissi-
nate them, would be unworthy of our
fame as people So long as life is LETT,
the struggle for liberty should never be
abandoned. We all knolo that the act of
the Legislature DISTINGUISHING the great
masses Of the people is unconstitutional
Yes, we knoc it. The men who passed
it, know it is. The Supreme Court OF
the United States has settled the primer
pie in an analogous case, and the Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania has decided

Democrat, Republican, Union, Secession,

to be taken. 1t should, as it will, nomi-
nate a good man for Governor. 1t should
issue an address to the people OF the
State of Tennessee, and to the people
and the Congress of the United States,
setting forth in calm but earnest terms
the catalogue of our grievances.
1t is believed by many that Brownlow,
with all the advantages he possesses,
can be defeated, and that Conservative
Legislature can be elected. These points
gained. the balance will fall themselves
Then. and not till then, will we feel that
we are really in the Union. Then, and
