WAS HORACE GREELEY A Sc
CESNIONIST

Senator Blair, of Missouri, charged in
a speech in the Senate ten days or two
weeks ago, that Horace Greeley, editor
Of the New York Tribune, was a Secs
sionist and equally responsible along with
the Southern Secessionists for the late
rebellion This drew from Mr..
Greeley an elaborate letter in reply, partly
in defense and partly abusive Of Gen.
Blair, in the characteristic style of the
former, in which he makes this distinct
denial of the charge that he was q Seces-
siOnist:
sDo | then belieVe-have l ever
taught-that a State, as State, has are
served right, a sovereign power, to dis
solve this Republic by what is called an
Ordinance of Secession
'No-neverl The right which main
tain is not of the State, nor in the State,
but before the State, and above the State.
1t would have existed intact if States had
never been organized nor heard of"
This bold denial has provoke preference
TO the files of the New York Tribune,
which discloses the following facts. On
the 9th of November, 1860, that paper
said editorially:
'If the cotton Safes shall become salts
fed that they can 90 better out of the
Union Than in it, we insist on letting them
go in peace.
"We must ever resist the right of any
State 10 remain in the Union aud nullify
or defv the laws thereof. To withdraw
| from the Union is quite another matter;
and whenever any considerable section of
cur Union shall deliberately resolve TO go
| out, We shall resist all coercive measures
designed to keep it in. We hope never
to live in Republic whereof one section
Is pinned to another by bayOucts.
Again, on the 18th Of December, 1860,
lust before the secession of South Caro-
lima, the same organ said:
of it Ohe Declaration of Independ-
erce) jus'ifes the secession from the
British empire of three million cOlonists
IN 1916. we do rot see why it would not
| Justify the secession of five million South
erpers from The Federal Union IN
1861"
sIf we are mistaken on this point,
why does not some one show us wherein
and why For our own part, while we
deny tie right Of SHAREHOLDERS t. hold
slaves a1sinsa the will Of the latter, we
cannot sec how twenty million people can
hold ten, or even five, in detesled Union
with them by military force.
eff seven or eight contiguous States
should present themselves authoritatiyely
at Washington, saying, we hate the Fed
eral Union; We have withdrawn from II !;
we give you the choice between acquies-
cling in cur secession and arranging amic-
ably all incidental questions on the one
hand, and attempting to subdue US on
the other we could not stand up Tor CO.

PROSSER AND THE CONGRESS.
SEONAL GLOBE.

Tie Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
There was one good thing done last
night by the dying Congress, and that
was voting down Mr.. Prosser's propo-
silion to give members of the Forty first
Congress, who have not received them,
full files of the Congressional Globe.
Here is an expenditure. of about sixty
thousand dollars, usually INDUCED in by
every Congress, abruptly terminated.
What each member of Congress vents
with full files of the Congressional Globe,
puzzles the will and endangeTs the COM
prehension. 1t is very seldom one meets
with an ex-Member of Congress who il
possessed of those valuable files, ard
have an idea that they either sell them
Immediately to trunk makers, and other
users of waste paper, or else draw
the money. The man who would have a
complete set of the Congressional Globe
in his house, is man who ought TO be
| incarcera,ed in lunatic asylum, and this
is so generally recognized, that one
wonders what becomes of the Congress,
| sional Globes. 1t is a query as pertinent
as that other, once well known, what be,
comes of the pins do not know, but
| suppose the day will come when the
| Congressional Globe will be finally dis
pensed with. That time is referred to in
the Scripture as the millennium, believe,
when quite number of events, rather
startling in their character, will occur.
The lion and the lamb will lie down to
gether, such as Farnsworth and Butler.
Which is the lion and which is the lamb
| is open to choice, to those who have paiC
their money. And when that occurs We
won't have any more Congressiona
| Globes. May we all live to see it,

vuAr FRANCE MUST PAY.

In the Franco German treaty two pro-
visions override all the rest. First, that
certain portion of France, nearest to
Germany, shall be surrendered; next, that
a large amount of money shall be paid
by France to Germany, toward the ex-
penses of the war. Owing to some care
lessness on the part of the telegraphists
on the other side of the Atlantic, says the
Philadelphia Press, the exact amount of
this payment is not generally understood in
this country. Article 2 of the treaty pro-
vides that France will pay TO Germany five
miIliards of francs as war indemnity
one milliard, at least in 1871, and the
rest in the space of three years from
the ratification of the treaty of peace.
Some of the papers have published that
France is to pay, not five milliards of
francs, but five miiliards of thaIerS.
The latter coin has various values accord
ing to the localities, but estimating
it at sixty cents, iher3 are three
francs in one thaler. One milliard of
francs being thousand millions of that
coin, equal to 5000, co., 600 of American
money, it is very evident, according to
Cocker, " that five milliards offrancs must
amount to 1000, 900, OO0-or over two,
fifths of the national debt of the United
States. If, as telegraphic errors have
sometimes made it, this payment was 81
lie made in Hdyers, not francs, the total
would be trebled. AS it is, the payment
| of one thousand million dollars in three
years (to say nothing of sccruing interest
upon the unpaid balance), is so great that
one may wonder where all the money is
to come from. 1t is said that the Roth.
schilds will pledge their credit to obtain
the money, and it is already declared that
the fiscal policy of the French republic
will be protective, with high tariff. But
the fact remains within three years
France must pay to Germany $1,000,
900, 900, besides interest, and the cost OF
supporting, paying, and clothing the
German army of occupation until the
last franc is handed over.

NASHVILLE UNION AND AMERICAN FRIDAY MARCH ~

to remain would be contrary to the prin-
eipies enumerated IN the immortal Dec
laration of Independence, contrary to the
fundamental ideas on which human 1T
erty is based"
2 On the Esd of February, after the colt
Ton States had formed the Confederacy,
the Tribune used this Language:
sTf the slave States, the cotton States,
or the Gulf States only, choose to form
an independents nation, they have clear
moral right to do So Whenever it shall
be clear that the great body of the South
ern people have become Ialienated from
| the Union and are anxious to escape from
it, we will do our best to forward their
views.n ~
In the Tribune of March 2, 1854, only
two daysbefore Mr.. Lincoln was inaugu
rated, Mr.. Greeley declared his position
on thesecession question as follows:
eve have repeatedly said, and we once
7 more insist, that the great principle EN-
bodied 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 sol" -" TT
Here it will be seen is an open, broad
declaration that eff the slave States, thu
cotton States, or the Gulf States only
choose to form an independent nation
they have a moral night to do so;" wink
| in his letter to Gen. Blair is found Mr.
Greeley's equally open and broad denis
that hei ever believed or ttaught" an!
such doctrine. Is it not remarkable tina
Mr.. Greeley's memory should have beel
so shortG

THE KU-KLUX WAR ON THE
SOUTH.

With the renewal OF the unhOly cru
SADIE against the South urged on by But
Ter, Grant & Co., one hope remains for
US that ambition may o'erleap itself and
fall harmless on the o.her side-tbat
either virtue enough may be found re-
manning in the Republicanranks to defeat
this latest strocity, or that its perpetra'ion
may hasten the downfall Of the party.
The hour calls for faith in our Anglo
Saxon traditions of freedOm-faith in the
capacity of our Northern brethren for
REORGANIZATION in the power Of
the press and of truth to unravel the web Of
falsehood and Misrepresentation that has
been sedulously woven around every
thing Southern for these twenty years
past.
We are at present in the midst of the
most critical experiment ever undertaken
by any people on earth: the readjustmeut
of the political, communal and industrial
relations of four millions of recent
slaves, the assimilation aud absorption
into the community of an immense eZ-
traneous element. This is an expert
ment that the deraigods of 70 never con-
templsted as possible, and from which
the giants of later days, Webster, Clay,
Calhoun, shrank back appalled,. Our
hands should be strengthened for the
task; we should have the encourage
Inent and moral aid of all chris
tendon. But, instead, We find the
whole political force of the government
welded against US, and are tOrmented at
every step by the petty malignity Of
short-sighted partisans, bent on rule or
ruin. A thousand influences are set to
work 20 make mischief, and every new
outrage of their own machination is
pointed at triumphantly as an evidence OF
our persistent wickedness. Thus each
wrong inflicted, is made the sufticing jus
LITIGATION for another. With q problem
of race, staring US daily, in which the
safety of our institutions and of society
itself is involved, we are daily embar
raised, discouraged, deferred, dismayed,
from proceeding in the necessary work Of
its solution. We cannot go much as or
ganize farmers club for needed agri-
cultural improvement, without its being
stiQmstized as conspiracy to depress
labor, and made frebrsnd to infamC
preiudices of race. This is indeed the
day of little men. o, for an hour OF
craftsmanship, of concern for the future
veal, of common humanity or of com
mon sense!

The eff feet of their policy is terrible on this far West border and thsSe men who are pleading for soft measures with the Apaches are guilty of the blood of the murdered pioneers of Arizona and New Mexico.
