| ferring to fatten lawyers rather than to
pay his dues and he is the type of
that class of men who do not take their
chances before honest courts, who have
no confidence in the people or public
expression, and who prefer Grant they
dsepise to Greeley they fear and can
not buy with presents.
WHICH Is THE SAFE COUsE.
The South is growing poorer every
day, with the solid moral influence of
the Administration Systematically
turned against them. The negro has
been made a citizen, but not man !;
he cannot defend himself; he is incl
ted to remember his former condition
and oppress his late master. Is 1t a
''safe Presidency" that you propose to
put upon these patients, appealing
millions of fellow men,-with wives,
daughters and infants, like unto you,-
in that man .ou- horseback whose Sec
retary of the Treasury says there shall
be no shaking of hands across the
| bloody chasm Or is it not as safe to
clasp the outstrctched hands, and hear
with pride the Rebel army singing
ave rally round the flag? For this
our young men died; our old men
marched; our women bore the absence
of sons and husbands. Their sacrifice
is not till now crowned with perfect
laurel. 1t is Horace Greeley who goes
forward to meet this column of half
our Union ? 1t is the Magistrate who
| feels no pulse beat at this great concess
ion, but hastens off to Long Branch,
like a duller Tiberius to meaner Ca

GREELEY AND THE RoUGHs;
1t is said with the loose assertion Of
the seeond-rate or dependent press,
that Mr.. Greelcy's associates were not
the most exalted men yet who ever
heard of him taking entertainment from
Jim Fisk, or attending a horse race
or lunching with Josephine Mansfield,
or playing poker with Rufus ingalls,, or
writin gilcttcrs to lock up gold under the
diclat;on of Abel T. Corbin His
acquaintance ia universal, as an EDITORS
must be; and it is the most extraorlina>
ry instance OF the inspiring aud beloved
character Of the man that. among the
classes be has most often rebuked, the
fierce aud physical, he has staunch and
ardent advocates. lie who can tame
the lawless "a an editor can assuage
passion and outbreak when be is made
magistrate. Half the power of
Magistracy is in its benignity and mild
influence upon tie erring. He who
ignores the representatives of the
rough classes, and rules for purely
rich and respectable world is blind as
an ideaIest. The sturdy belief of Hor-
ace Greeley, that kindness is sovereign,
and that even a thanklees errand to
save human life is not in vain, has
received in our age the greatest testi'
monial in history. The effect of his
Fastening to sign the bail bond of
Jefferson Davis is seen in nation Of
of warriors adopting his principles,
and taking, under his leadership, re-
newed pride and interest in our common
country.
THE SQUARE BUSINESS MEN FOR GREE
The honestly prosperous men Of the
country-those whose capital is all in
vested in the lines of production-are
confident in the honesty and oonsisten
cy of Horace Greeley's life and pur>
pose. He believes that money should
not be printed lie passing for more
than its value, to the permanent insta-
bility of prices and the injury Of pro,
ducers and consumers. He has no
admiration for vast and subtle combs
nations of usurers and note>shavers
called Sydicates. He does not think
that. corporations should plunge wildly
into debt to give brokers opportunity
to realize millions in the negotiation of
bonds. He does not approve fhe cruel
huc>andcry against the good inten-
tions of the South, in order that Mr..
Scott may pick up the impoverished
railways there and annex them TO his
monopoly while Mr.. Cook by the
same tactics, sells all the bonds Of his
North Pacific Road by discouraging
Investment in the Southern Pacific.
Such unlawful and ungenereus schemes
as these, passing under the eye of
General Grant without his knowledge,
may well see the ghost of good order
come back to life in the countenance of
Horace Greeley and tremble for their
thirty pieces of silver. Nothing can
be secure; wealth attained without
desert posterity is cursed for the
processes of it's parents, when grasping
Mammon leads the President by the
hand, and the Secretary of the Treas.
