TIE GOSPEL oF HArE-GRANr.


The manner of the Grant party in get
ting up editorials for theirp papers outside OF
the great cities, has been fully developed.
Gen. Grants Private Secretary, 50 called,
Robert NJ. Douglass, (Porer aud
Babcock, of the army, are the
real Secretaries) has been fur. Ishlng to the
outside Republican papesrs a series of circu,
lars, containing nn77fnted editorials for the us,
OF the GRAFT press of the country. Some ef
those papers have not fully apspeciated he
value of these editorials, and bave turSld
them o|er for observation aud rem---lN
leading Greeley papers of the vicinage. An
unfortunate TO the Grant party) instance
of this character occurred a few days
since in New York. One of these circulars
filed with ready made editorials was sent
to Republican paper, in the neighborhood.
This Republican paper, having pronounced
in favor of Greeley against Grant, forwarded
20 the New York Ts[buns this editorial
circular. The tribune published by way
of example one Of the editorials contained
in the circular and accompanied this
Washington prepared editorial with
proper comments. The same morning a
Poughkeepsie, n. 7, Grant paper contain
ed rerbGtim the same editorial, showing
the common origin from which they sprung.
Since then otter editorial circulars bave
been issued from Washington, all of which
have bee attended to fire the Northern
heart aud prevent "PEACE AND GOOD
WILL" To show the spirit of them and
TO establish that Grant hopes TO win through
and by virtue of the Gospel of Hate, we
quote the following:
"War, famine and pestilence are terrible
calamities 10 befall any people, nation, or
country. But worse than any one or all Of
these combined would be the election of
Greeley TO the Presidency of this country.
States Rights, with all its ruinous tenden-
cies, would be revived. Secession, with its
hydra head, would crawl forth and rend
the Union in fragments. A Northern, a
Southern, an Eastern, Western, and
Middle Confederacy would be set up on the
luius Of the Union. Infdelity, Free Love
aud Mormonism would run riot, sap the
foundation Of all that is sacred and
binding in society, and spread moral
ruin and blight over all this fair,
happy, pr nsperous and peaceful country.
Add hurricanes, volcanoes and earth
quakeS to war, famine, and pesilence, and
the calamity, disaster and ruin that would
follow all these let loose at once would not
be SO fearful and destructive to the country
as the election of Horace Greeley to the
Presidency of the United States. The old
Democratic party that has sought and striy-
ca so hard to rend the Union; rivet slavery,
and ruin the country, would come into pow
er through the election of Greeley. All the
horrors of the late rebellion, withits bloody
battIe-fields, bsrbarous bush-whacking, saw
age guerrilla murders, and hellish prison.
pens, would be as a drop in the
bucket OF as nothing compared to
the cruelty and woes that would fall
upon this country and people un-
der the reign and rule of this old Demo
cratic, Rebel, Secession, Copperhead party
with Greeley, the plant tool and willing
dupe, at its head. Caligula and Nero as
tyrants would shrink away, and hide their
diminished heads compared to Greeley as
an incarnate demon in human form, driven
by the hell-hounds Of the late rebellion.
And now, if you can trust Traitors party
that has trampled upon the American flag,
and every thing that is sacred and vener-
ated byus as nation and a people-vote for
Greeley, who has Joined this wi ked, devil
ish coalition in its death-throes, to revive

utter Tuin TO this country"
