question Of Mr. Greeeys consistency, now so Dltterly
attacked and said, among other things these notable
words:
pt No other instrumentation OF the contest seems

Greeley was in favor OF Secession and that MS eachhg

~ crcised mis- course closely and canddly enough
10 xpose easily the shameful misrepresentation now at
4nted n is true that in neither OF his recent speeches
~ ~ stated the case as fully or conclusyely he did
I'm 1861 In his Pittsburgh speech ne says thaI
- t ncopIe OF anv State or States after full discussion
and sair xnressop desired TO 20 OF Union, he
should have disposed 10 grant their request. In
his Cincinnati speech says also that he has always
dened the right of any one any several states 10
ecede His opponents, with Infinite meanness present
these statements contradictory and designed 10 oe
ceiye But mark how simple q statement OF
Mr. Greeley's actual position in 1861 shall
con HsIstencv OF his course. Mr. Greeley, in many
editorials in 1861, sharp distinction between the
attempt ecede by force, or without the consent OF
other States and the endeavor to separate from the
ITnon by peaceable and constitutional methods he
aid in substance II the people OF any one or several
after fair discussion declare their wish TO be sep

stitutional means, for one shall De In favor OF
granting their request; / do not believe 10 gov

party pinned TO the other by bayonet but there are
two parties TO the compact aud IL can be annuled Dy
