What a Democratic Paper has
10 Say about Greeley's Seces-
sion Record and Speech.
From the Chicago Times.

W 0dy aDOuU Greeley'S SeCeSs
sion Record and Speech.
From the Chicago Times.
Without doubt the most note
worthy outgiving which has
proceeded from either of the
chief Office seekers now be-
fore the country. is Mr.. Gree
lays reafirmation of the doc.
trlne Of secession, held and
promulgated by him in 1851.
In his enunciation OF the se-
cession doctrines in 1911, Mr..
Greeley's language was as fol-
lows:
"As to secession, l have said
repeatedly and here repeat
that If the people OF the slave
States, or of the cotton States
alone, really wish to get out
of the Union, l am in favor of
letting them out. II their vote
shall indicate the settled re.
solve to get out of the Union,
| will do all l can to help
them out at an early day."
This language will be found
in Mr.. Geeley's newspaper
of Jan. 1S, 1851, over the
signature "H. g." which it
has ever been one of Mr.. Gree
ley's vanities to append to such
OF his writlLgs as he deems to
possess especial importance.
In his stump speech at Pitts
burg the other day, Mr.. Gree
ley surprised his hearers, and
probably will find that he has
disgusted the whole country,
by reiteratlng the same doc
trlne. He seemed 10 think
that some explanation of his
secession attitude of 1861
would be desirable. By way
OF explaining what he meant
by the language above cited, he
said that the Southern leaders
declared that the alternative
was a backdown of the Repub-
lican party on The slavery
question, or civil war. ~"
said Mr.. Greeley, I" was one OF
those who said NO; there is
no such alternative. | deny
that a majority of the South.
ern people are against the
Union. | demand that there
shall be open, free discussion
before the Southern people;
an honest, hnterrified and un-
constrained, vote. If they
prove that the people of the
South say they want disunion,
will consent to it. / know
they wilinot
The intelligent reader will
fail 10 discover that this lam
guage of Mr.. Greeley at Pitts
burgh is in the least degree a
modification of his declaration
of 1851. He says that declara-
tion was predicted upon his
knowledge that the Southern
people, or a majority Of them,
were not In favor OF secession;
but he repeats that if they
should prove by an honest and
unconstrained vote, that the
majority were in favor of Sc
cessiOD, he would consent to it.
And he would take the same
position "now, to-day" that he
took in 1861; "for fellow-citi-
zens, they do greatly misunder.
stand and malign this people
who assume that in cold blood
they could desire disunion."
This assumption by Mr.. Gree
ley of the attribute OF omnis-
cience is peculiarly character
isteric of the man; but it does
hot remove the conceivable fact
that the inhabitants OF a State
or number Of States, might, in
the coolest OF blood. desire to
secede, and they might prove
that TACT by an honest, uni terri.
fed, and unconstrained vote

cede, is a manifest absurdity,
unless it is conceded that Mr.
Greeley ia capable of knowing
what 10 every other finite in:
telligence is absolutely un-
movable. At Cincinnati, in
an explanation of his explana-
tion, which served only to sink
him deeper in absurdity, Mr..
Greeley, emitting for the once
to tell what he knows about
things past, dwelt somewhat
gushingly upon what he knows
about things 10 come. "There
can never arise a question as
as to the perpetuity Of the
Union," he announced. And
in the next breath, "lf there
ever shall again arise a ques.
tion of disunion, y = = but
no such question will or can
arise |" "The Union of these
-
States, abldes, and must abide
forever" "We are to be one
people evermore." Thus gifted
with positive knowledge of the
future, even to tie "last syila:
BILE of tlme"--knowledge which
70 all other members of the
human race is absolutely mac.
cessible - Mr.. Greeley deems
1t safe to say that if, in spite of
his foreknowledge of the im-
possibility OF such thing, the
people of any State should hon.
estly wish to secede from the
Union, he would favor their
gong.
But this, exactly, Is the doc
trtne Of secession, in its full
length and BREATH. Mr.. Cal.
houn nevsr carried, or sought TO
carry the doctrine any further
than Mr.. Greeley carries it.
Neither Mr.. Calhoun, nor Mr..
Hayne, nor any other disciple
of the secession school, every tor
a moment contended that a State
might sscede from the Union
scithout desiring to secsde from
H The doctrine Of secession, as
enanciated by them, aoas precise
ty the same doctrine of secession
enunciated By Mr. Greeley in
1851, and rea6frmed By him In
his Pittsburgh harangue last
1oeek. They said if the people
of a State honestly desired to
sever their political relations
to the United States, they had
the right to do so, and ought to
be permitted to 60 in peace.
Mr.. Greeley says the same;
only adding that he, being en-.
dowed with the attribute of
omnisclence Gas Calhoun and
Hayne were not) knOaos that
no State ever will or can de-
sire to secede ! The difference
between Greeley and Calhoun
is not upon the doctrine Of Sc
cession; upon that they are
perfectly agreed. The differ
ence in them col sists in the
fact that Calhoun did not pre-
sumo to know what the future
desires of the people might or
might not be, whereas what
Mr.. Greeley knows compre-
hends not only all that is pas,
but all that can possible hap.
pen, or not happen, to the end
OF time.
This doctrine Of secession,
originated by the South Caro-
lima school Of politicians, pro-
claimed by Greeley in 1851,
and reaffirmed by him in 1872,
is essentially anti-democratic
in theory and every other way.
1t Is the assertion that the lib
erty oflhe people in one Slate,
or number of States, to pur-
sue their desires shall not be
limited by the like liberty OF
the people in all the States
In other words, that people de-
string to destroy the Union by
secession shall have liberty to

EDUCATIONAL

To Teachers Having been placed al
the head of the educational interests Of the
county. we intend TO make every possible
effort for the advancement of our common
schools Our Normal Schools will shortly
open. principally for the accommodation
and benefit of teachers. And it is hoped
that especially the younger and less expe-
rienced class of teachers avail themselves
OF the opportunity to attend some one OF
these schools and prepare for more laud-
able examination. Directors complain tina,
the salaries paid are too high teachers
claim the compensation Is not sufficient.
Now where rests the blame: The pur-
chaser Is generally willing to pay for an
article AL that il is worth. Endeavor "a
be more proficient in your calling. and
your services will be sought and the peo-
pie viii not fail in their duty to remuner-
ate YOU for them.
Every teacher of worth will eventually
rise TO his proper level Teachers, as a
class. are imfatient they serve no ap-
premiership, but draw wages for the first
days labor Many leave the profession in
disgust before they become master work
men, and embrace some other profession
generally law or mcdiciRe) by which they
expect 10 gain an easier livelihood. forget
ting that the majority Of the members of
these professions pass the meridian Of life
upon "a much more meagcr compensation
than that received by the successful teach
er. Again, teachers, and also directors
should remember that the minimum school
term has been increased to five months, cx-
cept in districts where the school tax Is al
ready thirteen mills on the dollar. or where
a tax Of thirteen mills for school purposes
will not keep the schools open five months.
In conclusion let me remark that it IS not
my province at present to prepare a lengthy
article. but TO notify you OF the necessity
of more thorough preparation for the
examination; for if you fail you cannot be
licensed To teach.
