"In alluding to his speech at
Vicksburg, Mr.. Greeley said he did
not say he trusted the time would
come when we Of the North would
honor Lee and Stonewall jackson as
we honor Grant and Sherman, but
he hoped the time would come when
all Americans, North and South, will
feel q Just pride in the military char
acter and achievements of Lee and
Stonewall jackson, just as we Of the
North now take pride in the charac-
ter and achievementsof Grant, and
Sherman, and Thomas. Possibly,
added Mr.. Greeley, this is too strong
for some Of you, but | can watt
can wait"
We have been disposed to give Mr..
Greeley a fair field and word of en-
couragement in the Presidential race
notwithstanding he believes that o
tariff of 500 per ton on pig iron and
other things in proportion, would be
good for the country. But we can
not swallow this, and, moreover, we
cannot understand it. Can Mr..
Greeley, 3 professed peace man, who
believes all war to be wholesale muir.
der. claim to be an admirer of Leo
and Stonewall jackson. merely for
their skin in the art of human lite?
Is it nothing against the military
character OF. q General that he vol
unfairly chooses the side of slavery
to fight for? Is it nothing against
his militrry achievements that they
all serve only as the prelude to rem
der more overwhelming their dis.
aster?
Mr.. Greeley believes this ascrip-
tion Of praise to Lee may prove too
strong for some of his hearers, but,
in that serene confidence with which
q lop-eared Kentucky prophet as
sures us the end Of the world will
come in 1873, Mr.. Geeeley says he
can wait. For what does Mr.. Gree
lev wait? For time when it shall
be plain as q pikestaff to all Repub.
licans that the man who fights 10
overthrow the Union and sustain
slavery, and fails, is worthy OF the
pride of Americans. just as we take
pride in the achievements of man
who fights to overthrow slavery and
sustain the Union--and succeeds!
JEFF. Davis also believes that the
American people will come to take
as Just pride in the cause Of secession
as they now feel in that of<Union.
In truth, the two prophecies, ono by
Greeley, tho other by DAVIS, inter
link and depend one upon the other.
We shall never take prido in tho
military achievements Of Lee, Jack
son and Johnston, as in those Of
Grant, Sherman and Thomas, until
we feel the same respect for seces-
sion and slavery that we do for the
Union and Freedom. When Davis
prophecy is fulfilled, GreeIsy's will
be, and not before.
We have, as we remarked above
tried TO say . kind word for Greeley
on this Presidential question, tho
1 We assumed that as soon as the milk
began to come he would kick over
the pail, He has always done it and
he has done it now. There will be
some flutter OF anxiety upon the part
of the Democrats to have Republic
cans take him up, but it is no use IN
talking Chicago Tribune.

speech, in full, recently delivered at
Augusta, Georgia. He upholds the
right of state to secede, glories in
the remembrance OF the rebellion
says punishment with me is played
out and counsels his friends to wal,
patiently for the opportunity which
twill como when our rights can b

speaking to the people whose excess
of mercy saved his neck from tn,

sTHn NEW DHPARTURH."

It seems that Vallandigham is not
the origi, ator OF the new Democrat
ic platform. According to the Rich
mond, Va, Dispatch it was gotten
up ct the South, and the object
thereof, as usual with that party, is
not an honest one, but merely TO OBJ
tain rule in the government, and to
get hold Of the Offices. But hear
what the Dispatch says:
"Vlrginia politicians are not going
to neglect any opportunity Of having
q finger in the national pie: The
Virginia papers may talk all the
time Of material interests; but we
know at the same time that our poll
ticians are going to devote at least
six days out Of seven to national
politics. The new movement orig
mated in Virginia, end will continue
to be engineered by Virginians if
they can have their own way"
That's it exactly. No means will
be left untried to obtain possession Of
the government. Hypocrisy, deceit
and lying, is their stronghold, and
what reok they if their Pryorr,
Masors, ct id omne genus, can get a
efioger in the national pie" This
platform was gotten up with tho idea
that they would gull weakened
Republicans into voting the Demo-
cratic ticket, under the hue and cry
Of high taxes, corruption, ETC., but
they will find they have reckoned
without their host, and that the next
Presidential campaign will develop
the fact that the Republican party
is invincible as we'll as invulnerable
The fact is that it is entirely too
apparent that the old copperhead
snake is only scotched, not killed
and on the first opportunity it would
sink its fangs into the body polite
and then the governments would be
run for the sole accommodation of the
at present humiliated, southern aris
tocracy. Bide your time, gentlemen
and don't be in too great hurry il
gottingyour fingers into the "nation
al pie"
