they came at last to understand
slavery: and Democratic cries ofre-
Cancellation and reform mean to this
just what the Christianity"
and humanity" of slavery meant.
Horace Greeley has been all his life
the sincere opponent of Democratic
principles ard policies: and the un-
alliance between him and
the Democratic party will end in
the political destruction Of both.
And all the people will say Amen.

A day among the newspapers
here has convinced me that what
ever Mr.. Greeley and his friends
may say in public for the world to
hear, they have given up the game
for the Presidency as lost. There
is great speculation among the news
paper fraternity as to the course of
the Tribune after the election, and
rumor says that the stockholders Of
that paper are to hold a meeting
soon to decide upon a policy for
them to pursue, so confident are
they that Mr.. Greelcy's defeat is
certain, and some change will be
rendered necessary to save the
financial interests Of the concern.
The Zrid,tnc has Republican con-
stituency behind it which the re-
suits of the election proved has not
changed its political faith, and as a
Democratic organ it would have
neither place nor support. Its pres
ent editor, Whitelaw Reid, is per-
haps as much responsible for the
altered tone and temper of the pa
per which was noticeable before the
Cincinnati Convention which gave
birth to the Greeley phase of the
Liberal movement as any one per-
son who has had a voice in its
affairs, and he is also credited with
doing more than any one man to
secure Mr.. Greeley's nomination.
This gentleman is talked Of as the
first one to be sacrificed after his
defeat. Mr.. Greeley says, if defeat
ed, he shall retire to Chappaqua and
spent the balance of his days in re-
tirement from public affairs. lie
is thought to be too partisan in his
constitutional makeup to be sue
cessful editor of an Independent
newspaper, and it seems not UNI
likely that the Tribune may pass
under entirely new management.
Mr.. Dana, Of the New York SIN,
says sit is possible, but not all prob
able, that Mr.. Greeley will be the
next President" and the editor OF
the .Sun says that with y secret
satisfaction which he can not con-
ceal, for it is well known here that
he was thoroughly disguised with
the nomination at Cincinnati. So
sure was he that Charles Francis
Adams would be the nominee, that
he had ordered to be prepared an
elaborate glorification Of that gen
tleman for publication as soon as
the fact should be made public,
which labor was lost, and in its
place the candidate whom the SIN
had been heaping ridicule upon for
many weeks, was done up in a short
paragraph instead. Now over his
defeat the Sun will she'd no tears.
Mr.. Tilton, the Adonis of the
Greeley movement, editor of the
Golden Age, and biographer of
Victoria Woodruff, is very much
inclined to think the Liberal move
ment a ''lost cause" Unlike the
editor of the tSun, Mr.. Tilton sim
cerely regrets this defeat. He says
"the Administration bought every
thing through" and dwells with
sadness upon the state of things to
which the country is brought. He
says the prescription praoticed upon
the opposition is something fearful
to contemplate. An evidence Of
this prescription, to his mind, is
found in the fact that Charles Sum-
ner is spoken of with bitterness i'll
Massachusetts,. Ho was surprised
to find this "great man, because he
had again made a sacrifice Of his
selfish interest for the maintenance
of principle, was almost hated where
for half a century he had been
idolized," "Why," said he, "they
openly denounced him as . traitor"
The unwillingness of the people
to accept treason to principle APP
provingly is termed prescription,

lectures for the coming season. in

Stanton to Anna Dickinson is spok-
Ell of as the pernicious influence of

gave it as his opinion that the COM

nounced with a flourish of trumpets
to be made on Monday evening in
