WASHINGTON, August 5, 1872.-DRAR
SIR: have seen the letter addressed to
me by you, through the public prints,
and Inotice especially that while ami
madverting upon my support Of Horace
Greeley, You say not one word in vindi-
cation OF that compound of pretentions
known as Grantism, in contradistinction
to Republicanism, which you would in
stall anew in the Government. You are
greatly aoaoerned about the company I
keep. To quiet your solicitude, I beg
leave to say that in joining the Republi,
cans, who brought forward an original
Abolitionist, find myself with SO many
others devoted to the cause I have served
always, that l had not missed you. until
you hastened to report absence; nor had
tahoa oSCouub Va tuo OOutu6Eu 66C6S-
sionists, who, as you aver, are now co.
operating with me in support of this
original Abolitionist, except to rejoice
that, II among former ess scciates some,
like yourself, hesitate, their places are
supplied in an unexpected quarter.
You entirely rnisunderstand me when
you introduce an incident of the past
and build on it an argument why should
not support Horace Greeley. What has
Preston Brooks to do with the Presiden.
tiai election? Never, while. sufferer,
did anybody hear me speak of him in
unkindness; and now, after the lapse of
more than half generation, will not
unite with you in dragging him from the
grave, where he sleeps, to aggravate the
passions of political conflict, and ar
rest the longing for concord. And here
is the essential difference between you
and me. at this juncture. I seizo the
opportunity to make the equal rights of
oil secure, through peace and reconci!ia-
tion; but this infinite boon you would
postpone. Seven years have passed
since we laid aside our arms; but unhap-
PLY, during all this period. there has
been hostile spirit toward each other.
while the rights OF my colored fellow
citizens have been in perpetual question.
