THAT KNOW NOTHING SPEECH.

We proved last week, to the salts
faction of all fair men, that the bit
ter and foolish Know Nothing
speech published by the Democratic
papers, of late, and attributed to
Hon. Henry Wilson, was base
forgery. But we have some addi-
tiOnal testimony of its fraudulent
nature from that reliable paper, the
Cincinnati Gazette. 1t appears this
speech has been published in some
of the Democratic papers in Ohio,
and the Gazette says:
at was quoted by some Demo
cratic papers four years ago, and
then attributed to Mr.. ColfaX. The
speech alluded to was made by j ohm
n. Wilson, of Floyd county, Ind,
and afterward repeated in his Know
Nothing speeches, and especially in
his speech delivered in Salem,
Washington county, Ind, in 1855.
The forgery consists in substituting
Salem, Mass, for salem, Ind, and
| Henry Wilson for John NJ. Wilson.
This fact has been proved beyond
doubt by the Indiana papers,
The Infamous insults against
American citizens of German birth,
uttered by a man devoid of COM
mon sense, arc now laid to the
charge of the undetermined states
man, Henry Wilson, who, in his re-
cent speeches in North Carolina,
said, and that with perfect truth,
that he had never written or spoken
q sentence derogatory to any man,
white or black.
| When it was lately shown that
not Henry Wilson, of Massachu-
sets, but John NJ. Wilson of Ind,
was the author of the language al-
| luded to, some of the Greeley pa
pers had the audacity to deny that
there was a politician by the name
of John NJ. Wilson, in Indiana, or
ever had been.
| Now, all the truth there is in this
is that John NJ. Wilson has kept
sloof from politics for some years
past. But then, as retributive fate
will have it, this same John NJ. Will
son again appears on the political
stage just at this crisis, and that,
too, in the role of Greeley Demo
crat. Last Thursday he took an ac-
tive part in the Greelev ratification
meeting at Indianapolis.
So that dirty Know Nothing
chicken has come home to roost in
the old White Hat. In defending
Hon. Henry Wilson from this base
charge we feel that we are talking
about a man who is incapable Of
using such language rs is contained
In the speech credited to him.

WHO IS VANCE 2


In his letter accepting the Balti.
more nomination, says the Com
monwealth, Mr.. Greeley lugs in the
case of Gov. Vance, of North Caro-
lima, who was refused admission to
the Senate, and makes it the text
for an insult to New England and a
pat on the back for the rebel South.
Since this man has thus been Irot-
ted out as a martyr to freedom and
justice, and his misfortunes paraded
before the world as evidence of the
tyranny" of the Republican party,
it may be well to inquire who he is
and what sort Of record he has.
Judge Tourgee, himself citizen of
North Carolina, furnishes all neces-
sary information on this head in a
speech recently delivered by him at
Rochester. Describing the course
of Vance during the rebellion he
says:
He became q conscript-hunter and
g woman-torturer. Within the lin
its Of my own dwelling place there
can to-day be found forty women
confined for weeks within an open
pen by the orders of this man, and
in the same county delicate women
were tortured by their thumbs being
placed beneath fence rails, while
brave heroes sat upon the rails in
majestic ease; and this man was the
author of these outrages, Heis the
man who said he would fight the
Yankees until hell froze over and
then fight on the ice. He proposed
to fill hell SO full of Yankees that
their feat would stick out of the
windows. He is the man who, in
1868, before the State convention of
his party, declared that when they
got hold of power in North Caro-
lima, it would be less tolerable for
Republicanism there than for Sod
ON and Gomorrah in the day of
judgment. He it was who said,
only last spring, that the Confeder-
ate dead believed that their cause
was righteous, just and holy, and,
he added, "the cause wasl"
This is the man whom Mr.. Gree
ley slobbers over to catch rebel
votes. The North Carolina Legis-
lature sent him to the Senate with
all this weight of treason still rest
ing upon him, and knowing that the
Constitution disqualified him from
holding Office. The Senate very
refused to admit him
and, indeed, it could have done
nothing else without disregarding
the supreme law of the land. 1t
was the privilege of the Legisla-
ture, of course, to elect such a man
if they saw fit to do so, just as it
might have chosen an escaped peni-
tertiary convict or the leader of
horse-thief gang; but the Senate is
no more to blame for refusing to
receive the former than it would |
have been for refusing to admit the
latter. The election of Vance was |
a willful defiance of law, and the
Senate did just what all loyal, law
people desired and ap-
proved when it rebuked the act by |
denying him admission.

GREELEY as A CONSTITUTION.
MAKER.-Mr. Greeley, after intro
ducing several impracticable
"isms,"' none of which were receiv.
ed with favor by the convention
lost temper,and, greatly to the sur.
prise of the delegates from the ru-
raj districts, who had been taught
to regard him not only as pat
riot, but Christian, used profane
language, making it clear to all
who conyersed with him that, how.
ever capable as a Journalist, he
possessed no qualities or elements
of character which fit q man for
craftsmanship. Two or three
weeks served to show Mr.. Greeley
that he was out of place, and,
gathering up his pamphlets and
newspapers, he went disappearing
out of the convention, finding, as
he expressed it, lecturing more
congenial to his tastes and temper
than constitution aking.-NeW

The New York Times, in COM
menting on the disposition OF many
selfish persons on railway trains to
occupy all the seats they can, says
that seltishness is too mild term
for this practice, which, in multi
tudo of cases, amounts to down.
right dishonesty. The Times saws
that for n man and his wife, when
other passengers arc going from car
to car looking for accommodations,
TO turn the back of scat and put q
couple of valises in such a position
as to give the idea that they belong
to persons who have taken tho
places, and will be back in n few
minutes, is, without any figure of
speech, fraud, of which rcspecta-
bic people ought to be ashamed. 1t
is suggested that railroad companies
should appoint special officer to
supcrintend the seating OF passen-
gers at the starting OF each train.

| We submit to Republicans thi.
single question: Do they desire
the restoration of the Democratic
party to power? They know tho
party. They know its history be
fore the war, during that eveAtful
struggle, and also since its close
They know .thatrit was the friend
of slavery. They know that it op-
posed all the measures of the gov.
ernnent for the suppression of the
rebellion. They know that it de-
nounced and resisted the recon
struction process of Congress, in
Guiding the three amendments that
were placed in the fundamental
law of the land by Republican eff
forts. They know that this party,
while protesting to accept these
amendments as accomplished
facts is to-day utterly opposed to
any legislation which seeks to
give them practical effect. They
know that Democracy in the Ma
tional Convention of 1868 formal
ly endorsed the Pendletonian
swindle of paying the bonded debt
of the Government with green
backs. They know that tho Ku
Klux Klans of the South are Demo
cratic organizations. Republicans
know these things, and many 9TH
ers that we might mention; and
Horace Greeley knows them, un-
less his memory has failed him.
We repeat the question: Do Re
pubEcans desire tho restoration of
the Democratic party to power?
If SO, then let them vote for Mr..
Greeley in sufficient numbers, and
they will gain their end. If not
SO, then let them vote for Gen.
Grant, and they will keep the adj
ministration of the Government in
patriotic hands.
Democracy, having nominated
Mr.. Greeley, and constituting
nine-tenths of his popular support,
if it elects him, will control him.
This may be set down as certain.
The use to which it proposes to
put him during the canvass is
simply that of a stool-pigeon to
entrap Republican voters; and, if
the plan succeeds, then it will have
other uses for him as Democrat
ic President. 1t is the sheerest
nonsense in the world to suppose
that, having gone so far as he has
already gone, he would not, If
elected, be to all intents and pur-
poses Democrat. 1t is not in
human nature, and especially not
in his nature, for him to be other
wise. Let Republicans now defeat
the Democratic party, in this its
last move, by defeating Mr.. Gree
ley, and that will be politically the
end of both. This is tho work to
be done, and which, as we believe,
will be done next November
