GREELEY FROM A SOUTHERN
STANDPOINT.


piish through Greeley's Election
Som. Extracts that Republicans
Should Read and Remember.
From the Speech of Ex-Governor Brown, Greeley
ite, at Nashville Tenn.
REPAYMENT OF THE SOUTH FOR HER PRO-
PERTY AND SLAVES.
81 do not care what Greeley has
said in the past against the South and
it's institutions. It is enough for me
to know that now he is in favor of re-
storing her to her pristine rights GREE
EEY, IF ELECTED, WILL PAY THE LOSSES
OF THE SOUTH.
FROM the speech of Hon. E. j. Golladay, M. c.,
from Nashville, at the same meeting.
"Greeley, at the outset of the war,
was in favor of letting the wayward
sisters depart in pc ce, and afterward
went single handed and alone to meet
our commissioners in Canada, to treat
for peace. Not a Democrat IN the
North dared go with him or manifest
any desire to go. he ,0us then IN fa-
cor of paying the South for her SLAVES,
and L believe he is stdtl.''
''THE OLD REBEL YELL" REVIVED.
From the Speech of E. J. Ellis, Greeley Stump Ora
tor at Moore, La.
"Twelve millions of people would
hail, as lover halls the dawn of the
first smile, the flash of the first brave
sword drawn for vengeance and liberty.
I know what is swelling in every heart,
that if we could go forth into the
tented field again, and align ourselves
in battle array, and in one brave con
fict determine our veal or woe, and
whether ourselves, our wives and
children, should be slaves for all time
to come, how gladly we would dare the
issue. It would be either death or
glorious victory"
Of that resolution of the Cincinnati
and Baltimore platforms which declares
that it's subscribers remember with
gratitude the herolsm and sacrifices of
the soldiers and sailors of the Repub-
lic," the Quitmsn GA Banner, which
supports the Greeley movement, has
this to say:
"The atrocities of the northern sol
d1ery are still too fresh in our mem ry !;
the scars on our hearts are not yet
erased; the names of Chickanausa and
Elmira still sutfnse the eyes with tears
and the heart with terrible thoughts of
vengeance.
GREELEY WILL DO THE BIDDING OF DE-
MoCRACY.
From thu speech of Hon. James Beck, of KY,
Greedy Stump Orator.[
"The Republicans uniformly testify
that there was AN ORGANIZED AND ARMED
CONSPIRACY, whereby they, and espe
clally the blacks, we're deferred from
voting-that offering to vote would
have cost them their lives-that the
Democrats were determined to carry
the State for Seymour, and did carry
it, by SYSTEMATIC TERRORISM, against
which the poor and humble durst not
contend * Now, the Ku-klux or
ganization may be active in this locality
and dormant in that-n1oy seem dead
tO-ddy-AND BE REVIVED TOMORROW
BUT THE KU-LLUx SPIRIT STILL LIVES AT
THE SOUTH AND IS VERY FORMIDABLE.
/ CONDITION OF THE SOUTH IN THE EVENT
! OF GREELEYs ELECTION
From the regular North Carolina Correspondence
/ of the New York Tribune, Greeleys own gan.
"The Democrats of the South if Hor
ace Greeley is elected, will he the worst
set of disappointed men you ever saw
I don't believe Mr.. Greeley has solo

REINSTATEMENT OF THE NEGROES.
From the Chicago Tribune, Local Greeley Organ
Recent events which have trans
pired IN North Carolina, in connection
with the state campaign and election
are already beginning to suggest tn
question whether the political powe
welded by the negro element in tn
South is not q serious menace to Re
publican institutions.
From the New York Express, Greeley Organ, owne
by Hon. James Brooks, Member of Congress an
Supporter of Greeley.
"The power which few white Fed
eral overseers in the South. and tn
terror with which the negro leagues in
splre, 1UOul0 seem to cO1ltrOUeTt TIL
0nti-st0very 0Uernte7at tadt the negr,
apds born to be free-that is, to be
free man, as white men are flee. Tn
Democrats of the north and west nov
recognize the absolute freedom of th

see him their equal, and not the slav
others-but when they see q a0hoL

that the negro himself loves SLAYER
better than freedom. We would wisf
now to share our freedom and ou
equality witt that negro, but he won
be free anc he won't be our equal, ane
hence the rearising of this old discus
