little child shall lead them into green
pastures aud beside still waters. Per-
haps, however, the little child may be
dispensed with lest it may be hurt, and
'Uncle Horace" will lead them. May
we all live to see the sight. 1t is claimed
by the Liberal Republicans that s'Uncle
Horace is a Republican still" Well, 1T
is curious specimen, indeed, we behold.
A Republican nominated for the Presl-
dency by National Democratic
Convention, accepting that noml-
nation, upon Democratic plat
form adopted by that convention,
expressive of their political sentiments
and he endorsing their sentiments,
Tammany Hall, the embodiment OF
modern Democracy, indOrsing the noml-
nee and platform, and firing guns over
both. All this, and yet the candidate
be of different political party, and en-
tertaining different political sentiments
at the same time. This is too non
sensical for any one to believe. The
truth is, Horace Greeley has sold him
self out to the party composed, as ne
said, in part of gamblers, keepers OF
grOg shops and darken dens of in1amy,
etc. and in whole that is rebel to the
core to-day" The people know this.
The Democrats know it. a Democrat
in New York told me the other day, he
taking me for modern Democrat, while
I was wondering that the Democratic
party should set aside their trusted men
and tried leaders and take up Horace
Greeley as their Presidential candidate,
''Why." said the man, "damn it all, my
friend, old Horace is with us, hn0to
he has left his old friends, and we can
use him in his new position to beat
Grant to hell Old Horace will prove
true to us. Want he once in favor OF
secession. and what he was then he IS
sincerely so now. Didn't he bail JET
Davis2 Surely he did; and when old
Horace is through with his four years,
then he will 90 with us for Jeff Davis
sure. We Democrats care nothing for
the damned Liberal Republicans. We
will use them to accomplish our pur-
pose, and then they may go to the devil
when we are through with them, which
will be at the end of this campaign. "
I left my friend, admiring his frankness
and detestng his profanity. He but eX-
pressed the sentiments of the Democracy
through the land. Some are shreWd
enough to conceal them, but more are
willing to express them. | commend
this instructive lesson to the COnsdera-
ton of some highly valued personal
friends who have been innOculated with
the poison of this Dcmocratic-Liberal
Republican secession movement, to break
down the party that saved the Union
from overthrow and ruin, and rcinstate
in power that party which fought against
the Union, against the destruction Of
slavery. that also reioiced over the de-
fpats of orr brave union soldiers and in
the victories Of rebel troops.
What a spectacle is presented to the
loyal frcrmcn of the union in the posi-
ti0n of Horace Greeley at this time.
Once the proud leader Of the loyal sentt-
mcnt of the nation, nov tn" ablect
tool Of unrcpcutant rebels and their
''northcm allies and svmpathiZrrs.
Apostatizing from the faith of the
fathers. he furls his flag and rrposcs in
the arms Of his once bitter enemies,
Judas sold his Master for thirty pieces
Of silver. and aftcrWard repcntcd of his
crime. and went and hung himself.
Mr. Greeley has sold hjmScI, and would
sell the Republican party if he could,
for Presidential nomination at the
hands of men he has pronounced the
viIcst criminals under the sun. He will.
hupe, live to weep the hitterest tears Of
SORROW As his punishment for his trcach-
cry to principles he once said were the
.'foundati0n of all true national great
ness. for his alliance with the bitterest
enemies of constitutional liberties, and
his BETRAYAL of the hopes and aspirations
of millions of our cOlOred COuntrymen
into the hands of their bittcrcst enemies.
The sorrow of lOVal men at this Sight is
