Yet, it was only as long ago as the

the various candidates before the

addressed the following language TO
the Missouri delegation concerning
Horace Greeley:

The natural inquiry is: What
great acts Of oppression toward til"
South has Grant or the Republican
rariy been guilty or since April
1850 aud what great change has
come over Horace Greeley since
May last? Answers from Carl
or any Of his khan are in order.
