Ma. HORACE GREELEY is sometimes called
the philosopher" why or wherefore We never
could see except upon the principle of
''lucus non lucendo." There is as much real
or true philosophy to be obtained from MIR.
GreeIey's writings as there are sunbeams to be
extracted from cucumbers. He is. as public
writer, simply the encourager of asn's, and the
defender of innovations matter what the
innovations may be- Nor has he as teacher Of
politics, or Of the science Of government: any
Just claim to regard or influence even on the
score of consistency; for he will boldly advocate
st one time principle which he will entirely
repudiate at another For instance in 1861 he
said -
eve have repeatedly said and We once more
insist, that the great principle embodied by
Jefferson in the Declaration Of independence.
that Governments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed, is sound and just ;
and that, if the Slave States, the Cotton States,
or the Gulf States only choose to form an indie
pendent nation, they have moral right to do so
Nothing can be more explicit and out!
In 1871, he backs out-eats his words-aud fin
ishes with the lame and impotent conclusion
that the right which he maintained and assert
ed lis not of the State, nor in the State, but
before the State, and above the State and not
at all in the sense that plain, sensible people,
who are not philosophers, understand words
