They say that Horace Greeley is the
father of the Republican party. This de-
ny. In 1853 he opposed Lincoln as a can
didate for the Senate and favored Douglas,
and in the National Convention in 1860
favored Bates OF Missouri. He then
avowed the rights of the slave States to Sc
cede, and one mon tn he was in favor of on
the Richmond and the next month he was
on the Niagara in consultation with Jack
Thompson and other rebels and crying
peace at any price. If Horace Greeley is
no secret who is the father of the
Democratic party and run it since
Andrew Jackson's time. Eighteen
hundred years ago we had Judas. We
have had Benedict Arnold, a John
Tyler, Fillmore, and an Andrew John
son, and now we have Horace Greeley.
[Applause
When Satan took Horace Greeley up
on the Catskill mountains and showed
him the White House in the distance, and
all the States in the Union in their pros
perity and wealth since the war which the
Republican party had put down, and said
il he would take the bitter pill Of Demo
cracy down sugarcoated though it is with
the Cincinnati platform, and agree to pen
sion rebel soldiers you shall enter that
house and enjoy all this. Then Horace
| Greeley went back on tho friends of his
youth. the old wings and all who had sup
ported his paper, lost all principle and
went over to that party whom he had
called thieves and harlots all his life.
| [Great cheers And when he did this |
can see who congratulated him; there
was jeff Davis, the late Chas. Sumner,
| Tammany Hall and all the Democratic
crowd. Gentlemen, l wait the further
pleasure of the Convention. Long and
loud cheers.

equal and just portion Of the public bur
