KENrUCKY's GREETING TO
GREELEY.

GHEELEn.
IL anything had been necessary to es-
.tablish the fact that Mr.. Greeley had
made lasting impression for good upon
the people of the West, North aud South,
that fact would now be fully settled,
since the hearty ovation he has received
at every point along the line of his route
from New York to Louisville, ard back
again through the great States of Indiana
and others. Wherever he passed, thous-
ands Of people. of all shades of political
sentiment, and both sexes and colors,
gathered to get glimpse of the old hero
statesman. No triumphant conquerer
ever received more distinguished atten-
ton, or more hearty receptions at the
hands Of those for whom he had fought
and won glory aud power.
Louisville, in an especial manner, did
herself honor by the magnificent and
whole-souled greeting she extended to-
ward him. Into the lap of that city,
Kentucky poured her multiplied thous-
ands of grateful citizens who took de-
light in giving Greeley such welcome
as his name aud fame and good deeds
merited. Wherever he went in the city.
whether around the social board, in the
business circle, at the great Exposition;
or in the sanctuary, the same cordial
welcome and large-hearted greeting
awaited him. Men, women and chill
children clapped their hands and shouted
as he passed, while the places of public
note we're thrown wide open to receive
our much-loved and distinguished guest.
Never has Kentucky exhibited a great
er warmth Of feeling to any of our coun-
try's men Of renown.
What is the impression created BY all
these manifestations of love and rAgard ?
Simply that Mr.. Greeley iss hsir awe S.se
for the high position to whkfhe has been
led to aspire by two gree political par
ties. More than this. great heart
of the people is with hinfand the cause
he has so cheerfully espolsed and now 50

the equal rights of all American citizens,
no Acknowledgement on account of real
or supposed political sins.

Liberal Republicans" United with
this party, not merely in name as is
said, but with heart, soul, mind. and
thought. to aid in the accomplish
ment of those ends, the great Democratic
party of the country stands pledged in
furtherance thereof.
Elsewhere we publish some of Mr..
Grec.ey's utterances. These utterances
will satisfy and convice all who read and
understand them. that he is fully appris-
ed Of the danger which threatens our
country-from the danger from foes
without and within who would tear down
the temple of our liberties, ard erect
thereon a military despotism.
Who that have looked upon the hon
est and sincere face of the Liberal Dem
ocraiic candidate for Presidency, and say
