wouldn't be there. And one thing
showing Greeley's dishonesty is his
going back upon his whole lifelong
principles in regard to the tariff ques-
tion. He has said the people cannot
succeed unless they have high tariff,
yet he now says Congress may break
down the people of the United States,
for he would not exercise the veto
power against them in this natter
This shows his weakness, for the veto
power is put in the hands of the.
President to protect the people against
the Entertainments of Congress. s
GREELEY ON THE JUDICIARY,
Again, in regard to the judiciary,
Mr.. Greeley says, in the Tribune of
May 80, 1861 /: "Let US not be afIaid
of military despotism. OF all the
tyrannies that afflict mankind, that
of the Judiciary is the most insidious,
the most intolerable, the most dan
gerous. The times are perilous. -
Therefore, he would pay no attention
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, but would override it.
This man is full of notions, and
whims and bad ideas. He is a man
who is precipitate, violent, a long
headed, good writer-a sturdy strong,
energetic writer, but one of the most
unsafe men in the country. to whom |
you can intrust the government
Now, gentlemen, can not see what |
would be granted by putting Horace
Greeley in for President.
NATIONAL PROSPERITY.
You have talked about the hard |
times, but Columbus has gone straight I
along and you have not felt them
much here. You have increased your
and increased your wealth.
The whole country has increased in
wealth since Abraham Lincoln was
made President of the United States.
In 1850 the wealth of the country was
SIG, ,000, ,0O0, 600, in 1860 it was $50, ,0OO,-
O00, 900, and in spite of the war and
the devastation Of the South in 1870
it-was $50, ,00O, 900 900, having almost
doubled its wealth in ten years.
Mr.. Greeley could not do any bet
ter. IF we had a Democratic Admin
istration we could do no better, if we
had honest Office holders such as
Democrats are. daughter. But we
are not going to get them under Gree
Iey. There will be horde of fellows
around that will want some Office,
and there will be a devilish sight
more calves around than there are
eats. (great laughter,) and they'll
butt the old COW nearly to DEATH
