The Cincinnati Cossssercial "a prom
inent Greeley organ-reports the fol-
lowing utterances ct Greeley meeting
in Kcntucky, on Saturday last when
the inspiring champaigns Of . supposed
suocess in North Carolina gave TO the
oratory of the occasion IN unexpec cd
ftankness
Mr.. Beck and Col. blackburn deliv.
cred the most marked speeches, and
elicited the greatest enthusiasm. They
took the ground that the support Of
Greeley by the Democracy was simply
: matter Of expcdicncy and policy; that
hitherto that party had been unable Of
itself 70 triumph In national afAirs,
and now the opportunity was offered
through Greeley to gain possession of
the government. They believed the
present movement was certain to enure
to the benefit Of the Democratic party.
Should Greeley. II elected, attempt to
Be dishonOrable or endeayor to exact
any obnoxious principles Of radical
ism, . Democratic Congress, that was
certain 70 be chosen with him, would
hedge him in, and render his efforts
harmless; and that seAsa Il scas meces-
iory to secsre swcA legisloti0n az tie De-
NsOcracy deewsed scsse. tier ac0uAl de-
nsassd Qf and compel Nr. Greeley to

Gen. Hodge also assumed that there
was . compact between Greeley and
the Democracy whereby mutual obli-
cations and benefits were derived, and
fhAt the letter Of acceptance Of Mr..
Greeley meant that such distinguished
and chlvalrous leaders as Gen, John G..
Breckinrid0e a,sd Others should be re-
stored to tAsiv 0rSgiss0l oositiOss q
poscsr Asd q N9eascs IN ne nation. he
also declared that the Southern States
would secure equal rights again, and ~
he looked upon the once shattered
hopes Of the South, he felt in the com.

lostcaSse had not died u pain, but thal

Governor Whyte of Maryland, in
speaking Of the effect that Summers
letter, advising the colored men to
vote for Greeley, will have upon them,
says: 9
"Mr. Summers letter will make little
difference with the negro vote they
are thoroughly educated in the Union
League, to support nobody but the
Republican Radical candidate. They
are Just az likely to abuse Senator Sum-
ncr, as having deserted them and gone
over to the Democratic party, as they
abused Greeley. The same argument is

will be afraid of being prescribed by
their associates, If they attempt to adj
wise rebellion against the Administra.
ton. "A mans, antecedents have no
influence with them whatever. The
negro vote in Maryland will 60 almost
solid for Grant. / doubt whether
Grceley's negro vote will be larger
than l got, and / got very few"
He still further says that it is not
true that democracy has abandoned its
principles, that it has disbanded its Or
ganization. Read what he says upon
that subject. He says they take Gree
ley for temporary purposes:
So far from the Democrats aban-
doning their prinaiples, or indeed,
abandoning their party name, con-
slider that as party in its solidarity
to use Kossuth's expression-it has
taken Greeley and the Cincinnati plat
form for temporary purposes. Having
changed the present Administration,
and embarking upon new one, with
principles in SO great a degree similar
to those of the Liberal Republicans,
the Democratic party, with its 100000
voters, will be the power in the land
hereafter
