ME-. GREELEY, in his response to the
invitation of the Tennessee delegation
to visit Nashville, told of his good will
for our people and State as far back a
1866. He said he then had an interview
with President Johnson, at the request
of the latter, during which he Suggested
to the President that something was
necessary to withdraw the attention Of
the people from politics. If, said he, q
few oil wells could be sunk, a few mines
opened that would prove profitable, that
would do more to heal the wounds the
war had inflicted than almost anything
else. He feltthen as now the great neces-
sity of doing to harmonic the
differences which had brought on the
late wal and which that unfortunate
strife had intensified. Tennessee was
peculiarly situated. She had furnished
her quota to both armies, and hence the
greater the necessity for doing some
thing that would heal up the old sores
and make the people one in sentiment
as they were in interest, a band of breth-
reR as they We're before the war. These
were the views he expressed to President
Johnson, and they were the sentiments
be had endeavored to cultivate in his
intercourse with the people, both as a
and an editor" Just like the
good old philosopher, the friend and ben
of mankind, the author of the
of reconciliation.

The German population in every sec
ton Of the Union are giving a cordial
support to Greeley, and the Irish are a
unit in opposition to Grant. In fact, no
true Irishman can with any consistency
vote for Grant. As soon would he vote
for a King or Queen of England. What
has the South been since the close OF the
war but a second Ireland? Itwould seem
as though President Grant had made the
policy of England toward Ireland forthe
last century his especial study, and that
he had adopted it as his policy. Unjust,
unconstitutional and impolitic laws have
been forced upon the South by Congress
and the President. The civil power Of
Me States has been subjected to the
military power. The hG5eds corpus
has been denied to the citizens.
An army of ofice-holders and ru-
lers have been thrown upon the
South, contrary to their wishes, who
have robbed and plundered her citizens
of millions of their ~hard-earned money.
Property has been insecure, and her cit
liens have been unwilling to engage in
business operations. All has been tu-
multand confusion worse COMPOUNDED"
ireland in her worst condition was never
more miserable. And all of this has
been the result of the misrule Of Grant
and his party. Every Irishman in the
land, of the least intelligence, knows all
these assertions TO be true-knOws that
Grant has been little less than a military
dictator over the SOuth-knows the suf-
ferings the people of the South have had
to endure. Now is it possible that a true
descendant of those who have suffered
from England so much and so long in
the same direction, will ever sanction
outragesi in this country, TO which
they have fled for freedom? Never!
while a spark of Irish spirit remains
in his breast! NeverI until the names
Of Emmett. O'COnnell, Curran, and
hosts of other illustriOus names have
their memory, The Irish as
a people are taught to hate tyranny and
every form of oppression from childhood

IT Is announced that within a few
days the New York Herald will declare
for Greeley and Brown. The Utica New
York; Observer says:
1t has been known for some time that Mr..
Bennett, representing, as he does, immense
business interests, desired the election OF
Horace Greeley to the Presidency. But he
never permits his personal preferences TO gov
ern the course Of his paper. He makes no
secret of the fact that the Herald always en-
deavors to reflect rather than create public
sentiment. Thoroughly convinced now that
the voice Of the people demands the election
of the Liberal candidates, the Herald viii give
the cause a support which will be felt far and
wide.
This is good news. The Herald is the
great paper Of the continent, and Yields
an influence propOrtioned to its position.
If it espOuses the cause of Greeley all
doubts as to his election will cease. As
it is, are have no doubt of it.
