The Reason why.

Mr.. Greely had ten Thousand dollars
In gold that had been earned IN printing
the Tribune, laying snugly by ia his great
iroa safe. The day that gold touched
300, his ardent Republican patriotism in
duced him to exchange It for $4,000 in
legal tender greenbacks, and thus contrib
ute his share to the support of the credit
of the government. After a free and
frank, confidential interview with Mr..
Chase, then Secretary of the Treasury,
and now Chief Justice of the United
States, Mr.. Greely loaned these thirty
thousand greenback dollars to the Govern
ment, receiving in exchange therefor a
bond for the same amount bearing an
annual interest of 7 80 per cent, payable
in FIVE and redeemable in twenty years.
1t was also provided in the body of the
bond that it should not be taxed for any
purpose whatever, that the annual inter-
est should be paid in gold, and that the
principal could be discharged in lawful
money of the United States. 1t must. be
here understood that Mr.. Greeley by no
means entered into this transaction
through any view to make money out
of the necessities of the "best government
under the sur" but to support it in its
efforts to save the Union and defeat and
punish treason. Patriotism, not greed,
was the motive power that propelled him
forward; and the same uusel6sh spirit
and deep and ardent love for country now
induces him to denounce those who pro-
pose to pay his bond in legal tender
notes, as "sympathisers of rebellion"
villains in heart, ''repudiators that shame
the burglar and ecunterfeiter," &c. We
say, gentle reader, that 1t is Greeley's
tender care for the honor of his country
that makes him look on the proposed
manner Of repayment with such Unutter-
able horror His own pecuniary interest
is of no moment-his whole feeling and
being is wrapped up in the interest and
honor of his beloved country. This is
what Mr. Greeley tells us-but as it is
possible that many figures speak more
loudly and truly than the most vocifer-
Gus words ever uttered by man, we desire
to let them speak in this case.
Greely's $4,000 in gold, if loaned out
at the usual rate of interest, would have
brought him just 5000 per aunum and in
FIVE years reached the moderate sum of
$4,000, per annum. By converting it in
to greenbacks, at the rate of one for three,
and loaning these to the government at
their face, at an interest of Z 80 in gold.
his income from his original $4,000
would become 81, $50 per annum. At
the end of FIVE years, when the govern
ment has the right to pay off the bond, if
it so choose, he will have received back
1850, in gold more than his original sum
of $4,000, and still have an unliquidatcd
bond for thirty thousand. This, it is pro-
posed to pay him in greenbacks- He re-
plies, you are scOundrel to suggest or
offer it-your greenbacks are redeemable
in nothiug-I demand gold do you hear,
gold for the bond you gave me. And
to all this, the Mercer Dispatch cries
amen Down with the cursed repudiatiug
-eopperheads who propose to pay Greeley
in legal tender greenbacks that are redeem
able in nothing. Hestern Free Press,

The New York Times, an exponent of
eone of the numerous sects of Abolition
destructiyes, In an article abusing the
southern people because they do not take
kindly to negro supremacy, while it con-
fesses that that policy was an atrocious
-expedient of desperate politicians seek
ing power, says: "The evils which will
unquestionably grow out of universal ne
gro suffrage in the South wiz compel
revision Of the whole suffrage question"
For any one who has watched the progress
of monarchieal federalism, transformed
into AbolitiOnism, it is not difficult to
catch the meaning OF this announcement.
a "reVision of the whole suffrage ques-
tion," as the Times clearly indicates in
its article, is an application of quali6ca-
tion which will eventually disfranchise
the poor, and throw the whole power of
the Government into the hands of those
who possess the money. 1t means the
disfranchisement Of the masses, and the
endowment of the few with special priv
ileges and the governing power. Ever
since the stupendous public debt was fast
ened upon the people by the Abolition
lists, this question of the suffrage has
been a contingent issue in American pol
itics. It has always been certain that
great public debt, which enslaves the
masses for the benefit of the few, cannot
stand secure so long as the masses op-
pressed by it possess the power to con-
troll. by their votes. the way in which it
shall be regulated or paid. This accounts
for the early and persistent agitation of
the suffrage question. 1t is first propos-
ed to make the right of suffrage worth
less, and its exercise ridiculous, by the
introduction Of elements totally unfit for
it; and then the next step will be to pro-
cure universal consent to its +" revision "
that is, its reduction to the limit of
those who have property interests to
maintain and secure. This idea will be
found, upon careful scrutiny, to be inter-
woven with every step and every meas
nre Of that party whose predictions are
all in favor of the rich and privileged
few, and against the laboring Masses
