In 1872, In an editorial evidentley
from Greeley's pen, which appeared in
his paper he said:

hardly able to reconcile the defeats Of
Lee. Johnston. sBragg. Hood and Price,
and the consequent downfall of its belov-
ed Confederacy, with it's traditional
faith in Divine providence. 1t would
hail the election of a Democratic Presi
dent in 1872 as virtual reversal Of the
Appomatox surrender. 1t would come
into power with the hate, the chagrin

eru1tation. Whatever chastisement may
be deserved by our national sins, we must
hope that this disgrace and humiliation
will be spared us.
This was his language before he was
candidate. The Presidential maggot
had not then fretted the texture of his
brain. But after his nomination at Gin
cinnati he turns his back on his previous
utterances. He speaks of the Republi-
can party as "a decayed organization,
and stigmatizes its leaders, drill SER
geants." Mr.. Greeley will find that the
people ''care far more for Republican
ascendency than for any mans personal
future" and they will not help restore
to power ''the rebel element of the South
and its Northern symrathizers under
a false flag. They know that every
path out of the republican party leads in
to the Democratic camp" aud when they
go into that camp again it will be in a
body, solidly organized, and for the ex-
press purpose Of capturing it.-Er.

The s'Ruie or RUM Party.

In a recent letter to the Detroit Free
Press, the writer in commenting upon an
article In the Chicago Times respecting
the passive policy of the Democratic
party in the coming campaign. says:
We know that the Times did, not long
since, occupy bold and manly position
on the Presidential question, position
consistent with the dignity, and intelligence
of the great National Dem ocratic party
bnt that suddenly, as it were, ''in the
twinkling Of an eye,'' it abandoned its
position, and more recently has been at
tempting to persuade three millions of
Democrats to play the second-iddle TO
the sorehead Republican faction, led by
Greeley, Sumner, Brown, Schurz & Go.
If we have never been able to compre-
hend the summersault of the Times, care
tul observation has satisfied US that the
Democratic party will come to no such
an abortive end, as the Times supposes
all indications are that the party is in full
possession of its honor and selfrcspect
Nine-tenths of the Democratic press of
the country, and a large proportion of
the voters, have never bowed the knee
to the Baal pdssiuisne.
These Republican soreheads, of them
selves, are nothing compared with their
own party, the Radicals: they are pitt
full minority. Compared with the Demo
cratic party, they are pitiful minority.
These facts should Undue them with
modesty. They have never manifested
anything of that sort; or the contrary,
they are immodest, dictatorial and insult
ing. 1t was these traits, which more
than anything else alienated them from
their own party. They quarreled with
Grant but no man can find another cause
than the one just mentioned. They
wanted Government patronage; they
left Grant On this question of personal
governs them still. Hence they will list
en- to nothing but Offices and patronage
themselves. They will agree to nothing
which does not hinge upon this pivot
| The Times will please let its readers know
where the principle comes in, and what
confidence Democrats can reasonably re-
pose in such men.
This unexampled exhibition of self
seeking is poorly covered by pretenses
which can mislead no one who has not
Joined himself to the passive ring for like
personal interests. Why cannot those
soreheads act with Democrats Why
will they rule or ruin? Gen. Schurz an
swers, the Democrats arc too corrupt, too
unpatriotic. The soreheads Will not act
with Democrats because, as Dogberry
said, THAT they who touch pitch will be
de6led" Yet our puritans haye no OBJ

are willing to have corrupt men for

WHY TINS CEEANGEr

Less than eight months ago Mr.. Gree
ley and his friends applied for the sd-
mission of their Representatives from this
city to Republican convention. On the
29th of September, 1871, he declared
tha. his delegation had agreed upon q
draft (of platform) which frankly and
plainly told upon what grounds they want
ed to make fight" OF that draft, the
following was portion:
III. In this alarming crisis in city and
State affairs. the Republican party refers
all good citizens to its record, as their
warrant for giving it their fullest conf
denca and support in the campaign now
formally. opening, Of the honest men
against the thieves.
1t abolished slavery.
1T led to the suppression Of the robel-
lion.
''It preserved and enlarged the Union.
1t promptly reduced the enormous
forces thus required to peace footing.
1T has reduced the debt over two
hundred and fifty millions of dollars in
the last three years.
1T has simultaneously reduced public
taxation over two hundred and fifty mill
ions OF dollars per annum.
1t has preserved peace On the from
tier,
1T has won a friendly adjustment Of
the Threatening troubles with Great Brit
ain.
III. For It's conspicuous share in this
benehcent record, we endorse the Nation
al Republican Administration.
I'VE reafiirm the platform of prinoi-
pies laid down by the last National Re-
publican Convention.
And On these principles and this re-
cord, with the ticket this day chosen, we
appeal to ali friends of fhonest Government
OF whatever previous party association,
tor aid in the triumphant victory we
unitedly pledge ourselves to win. -
The Republican party has steadily gone
forward in the prosecution Of the meas
ures for which it is SO freely and justly
praised in this platform, drawn up by
Mr.. Greeley's delegation. 1t has contin-
ded to reduce the debt. 1t is engaged in
further reducing taxation. 1t has pre-
served peace on the frontier. 1t is hon
estly and courageorsly seeking to save the
friendly adjustment of the troubles with
Great Britain, and in al this beneicent
record, the National Republican Adj
ministration' has continued to "bear
conspicuous share" Moreover, the par
ty has stood by the principles laid down
by the last National Republican Conven-
tion.' Why, then, is not Mr. Greeley
still with the party? Simply because he
has crooked the pregnant hinges of his
knee before the Democratic idol and ex-
poets that thrift will follow fawning.'
We have no doubt he is mistaken in his
calculations. We are entirely willing to
repeat now his own words of September
last, ''and on these principles and this
record, with the ticket" chosen at Phila-
delphia, appeal to all friends of honest
government, of whatever previous party
association, for aid in the triumphant
victor we unitedly pledge ourselves to
win. ."-NeW York Times.

THE WORLD AND THE TRIBUNE.-The
World and the Tribune, recently on most
amicable terms, are now at swords points
over the Cincinnati nominations. The
Tribune having pronounced the editor of
the World the owner Of house of pros
titution, the World replies: "This scurr-
ilous insult shows how mistaken we we're
in our civil notice of MIR. Greeley's re-
tirement, wherein we volunteered the
opinion that his successor was a gentle
man. So far from fulfilling our gener-
Gus prediction that he would observe the
courtesies of discussion, he has already
repeatedly and grossly violated even It's
decencies. The Tribune, under its new
editor, has forfeited all title to courte-
sy or forbearance, but self respect for
bids US to descend to his level. I" 1t is
understood that the World editors, who
at first thought they would have to ac-
cept Greeley, are now determined to
prevent his Endorsement at Baltimore by
all the means in their power.

POLITICAL CLIPPINGS.

Henry 8. Lane, of Indiana, takes the
trouble to telegraph from Brooklyn to
friends in Washington that the "Liber-
ais" have no authority whatever for
cloiming him. He says he is "Grant
and against Greeley, and shall so remain"
Those Indiana fellows are not the fools
the Greeleyites have taken them for.
Nearly the entire religious press Of the
country-a most potent and powerful in
fuence-is earnestly in favor of Grants
reelection. A majority Of the Protest
ant papers have already pronounced their
preference for him, while the leading
Catholic organs openly declare their hos
tility to Mr. Greeley's election.
The New York TABLET. Catholic jour
nal, strongly Democratic in politics, says
Mr.. Greeley affects great tondness for
the Irish and other naturalized citizens,
but only for the parpose Of winning their
votes. We know Horace Greeley too
veil to believe in him, and we should
now prefer to see General Grant re- elect
ed, to seeing him elevated to any Office
above that Of path-master.
The New York World, says the expec-
tat;on that the Democratic party will
nominate Horace Greeley for President
is too ridiculous. Even Charles Sumner
would be less Objectionable. 1t thinks
the chief and controlling reason why the
Democratic party cannot and will not
nominate Greeley is, that Of all the pub
lie men in the country with any kind OF
pretensions to the Presidency, he is the
fartherest from presenting its principles
The article continues at length in SINH
lar strain, and concludes by saying the
nomination Of Greeley by the Democrat
ic party is moral, political, social and
economical impossibility.
The Cincinnati Gagette says that ''in
Ohio there is but one Republican paper
and that is not Republican-which sup
ports the Greeley nomination. All the
Republican decentralization there is in
this part of the country is in the eye ot
the Greeley crowd

TEfE STRAIGHT PATH OF DUTY,

1t seems that time-serving politicians
are fitting about suggesting compromi-
ses and bargains with the suppositiou,
leaders Of various factions and cliques OF
voters. Reconcile the Greeleyites, con-
ciliate the Germans, smoothe down the
workingmen, make your platform an
unmeaning dragnet, fawn to everybody
and offend nobody, appeal to Democrats
and ex-rebels for support, and sacrifice
consistency and manhood upon the affairs
of success, is the advise of hordes of
common place people and political
wire pulIers. These Adventures derive
their counsel from their own fears or
weaknesses and should be utterly disre-
garded.
The Republican party has magnif-
cent mission-a continent for FORUM
and forty millions of people for an audi
ence. Secure the confidence Of the mas
ses, is our advice. Brush aside these
self constituted leaders, who, if they can,
control any voters at all, they are the
most ignorant, and those that carry the
lest moral weight.
We fully believe that when the record
of this Admins tratior is fairly exhibited
its integrity of Administration, its zeal
for the public welfare, its management
of the public debt, and loyalty to the
rights Of man, the American people at
large, will come to the conclusion that it
is much better to dwell in perfect security
for the next four years than to run the
risk OF anarchy and the disturbance of
interests, which necessarily attend the
changing Of political parties.
What we most need is organization we
must enlist the services of the young
men, mark out for them field of useful
ness, and assign them prominent places
in the conduct of the coming campaign.
The glorious memories of common tri-
umphs and common dangers during the
late war, must be revived, and the deter
mination againsez pressed, that no.faction
of a party, or bargain and sale combina-
ton may raise it's impious hands to tear
down the flag which is the emblem of
our common nationality. Let us adopt
then that flag which the heroes of the
war carried triumphantly through so ma
ny fearful stlifes as the emblem of tie
campaign; for it was General Grant who
planted it safely and securely over that
of the rebellious States, so that the en-
tire Continent is again one, and INSOFAR
able.
Every citizen must be made to feel that
the Republican party is his party; that
it exists for his benefit; that it gives po-
tency and power to his will; and that it
is its irst mission to take care of the vel
fare Of all and particularly the poorest of
the land. Could our leaders and orators
become only inspired with this grand and
ennobling idea that the Republican party
is the will and. the voice of the people.
that it is so flexible, that it always repre-
sents the will of the majority, legally ex-
pressed, they could infuse an enthusiasm
and will-power into the campaign, tina.
would carry every loyal State in the Union.
