graded themselves, and tho name Of their
party, once justly entitled to the confidence
Of the nation, by a base sycophancy to
tho dispenser Of executive power and pat
ronsge unworthy Of republican frcemcn;
they have sought to stiao the voice of
Just criticism, to stiho the moral sense Of

striving TO maintain themselves in author

Of the power which rightfully belongs to

Horace GREKLKYis plain, honest man

HORACE GREELEY is a plain, honest man,
who would be likely to excite some enthu.
siasm in the country, and will be cure to
run we'll among the farmers and the coll
ored population. The Irish are friendly
to him on account of his Slievegammon
record; the Southern chivalry and the
Northern copperheads can scarcely object
to the bondsman Of JEFF. Davis; the ne.
groes and free-soilers remember him as the
founder of the Republican party, and tho
president of tho old underground railroad
for fugitive slaves, and the people at large
are disposed to laugh at his eccentricIties,
and to vote for him at the polls in the ex-
pectation that he would prove simple
minded, honest-meaning Chief Executive.
OF course there will be an attempt to car
feature him and 10 laugh at his candidacy,
but it will be remembered that Honest Old
Abe was depicted as an ape during the
campaigns OF 1860 and 1864 without dctri-
ment to his chances Of success. The lam.
pooncrs may place Uncle Horace on tho
back of apig. That would be very likely
to travel fast enough to carry him to the
White Housc.-Ncp York Herald.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS.
The administration now in power has
rendered itself guilty of wanton disregard
Of the laws of the land, and Of powers net
granted by tho constitution. 1t has acted
as If the laws had binding force only for
those who are governed, and not for those
who govern. 1t has struck a blow at the
fundamental principles of the constitu-
lional government and the liberties OF the
citizens.
THE PRECEDENT.
The president Of the United States has
openly used the powers and opportunities
Of his high Office for the promotion Of per-
sonal ends. He has kept VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt and unworthy men in places Of
power and responsibility, to the detriment
Of the public interest. He has used the
public service Of the government as n ma
ckinery of partisan and personal influence,
and nterfered with tyrannical arrogance
in the political affairs of states and munc-
qualities. lie has rewarded with inauen-
tial and lucrative Offices men who had &C.
quired his favor by valuable presents,
thus stimulating decentralization Of our po-
litical life by his conspicuous example.
lie mas shown himself deplorably unequal
10 the tasks imposed upon him by the ne
eessities OF the country, and culpably
careless of the responsibilities of his high
office.
THE PARTIsASs.
: The partsans Of the administration. as.
suming TO be the republican party, and
controlling its organization, have at.
tempted to justify such wrongs and palli
ate its abuses, 10 the end of maintaining
partisan ascendancy. They have stood in
the way Of necessary investigations and in
dlspensable reforms, pretending that nc
serious reform could be found with the
present administration Of public affairs,
thus seeking to blind the eyes of the peo-
, PIE, They have kept alive the passions
ana resentments of the late civil war TO
