the hands of one who would carr

the hands of one who would carry
out their wishes.
It's a well known fact, that there
is not a Democrat in the country
who does not despise the very
name of Greeley, and their only
motive in supporting him now is
the hope of establishing their
party in power. by making cats
paws of him and his followers.
Republican says he shall vote
for Greeley for the following rea-
sons: LIST. Greeley has brains,
honesty and experience. Very
good reasons, but badly misap-
piled. I'd. He prefers the COM
pany of the Liberal leaders to that
of the Grant chieftains. From
this / infer that he, too, is a sore
head, and feels more at home
among men OF his own class. Sd.
Greeley is a representative man,
who represents the intellectual
and moral aristocracy; also the
temperate and christian portion of
America. Well, if that is the case,
all ! have to say is, God pity the
intellectual, moral and christian
portion of America.
Republican entirely fails to dis
cover in Gen. Grant any of those
virtues which are so largely de-
velopsd in Greeley, @brain, heart,
honesty and experience"
Well, have never read OF a
blind niger, with blowed out
candle, in a dark cellar, at mid
night, making any great discover
les. Therefore it is not to be ex-
pected of him to see anything but
Greeley. especially as it is a self
evident fact that he derives all his
information from the New York
Tribune and the Emporia Ledger.
And now, friend Republican, /
have a word of advice, which +
tender you gratis, and that is, to
adopt a more suitable name than
that which you have assumed. I
think the name of Liberal Sore
head Democrat would be more APP
propriate for you in your present
mood. Therefore, 1 advise you to
adopt it for the good of the Gree
ley movement in general, as well
as your own benefit.

He should take warning by tn,

He should take warning Dy the
course Of Ex-President Andrew
johnson, who at one time zWas
found reprobating rebels and their
rebellion in more unsparing terms
than have ever been written or
spoken by any other man either
living or dead.
In his TRADE against rebels and
their rebellion he says that Urea
son against the Government Is the
highest crime that can be commit
ted, and those engaged in it should
suffer all its penalties. He de-
clares that treason must be made
odious; that traitors be punished
and impoverished He then
says: Il hold it a solemn obliga-
ton in every one of those States
where the rebel armies have been
beaten back or expelled, care not
how small the number of Union
men, if enough to man the ship of
State, hold it to be a high duty
to protect and secure to them
republican form of government"
In calling a convention to restore
States, he asks, 'iWho shall restore
them? Shall the man who gave
his influence and his means to de
stroy the Government; is he to
participate in the great work of
recognizing the Government, who
brought this misery on the State?
If TINS be So, all the precious
blood OF our brave soldiers and
officers will have been shed in
vain He then says: The
traitor has ceased to be citizen,
and in raising rebellion became a
public enemy, and has forfeited
his rights to vote with loyal men,"
Notwithstanding all these de-
nunciations of rebels and their
rebellion, we find him using all
his influence to place these very
rebels in power, in connection
with that portion of our country
who are in sympathy with them.
I am entirely at a loss to account
for the infatuation that has in
duced my esteemed friend Horace
Greeley to allow himself to be
candidate of a party SO at war
with all that he has written and
said in denunciation of these men
and the principles that control
them. In conclusion, allow me
to offer you, in this the eighty
second year of my age, my most
fervent thanks for your devotion
to all the best interests of coun-
tay that I shall soon leave, with !
my best wishes for its continued
prosperity and happiness.
Yours, with great respect,
PETER COOPER.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 1872
OLD PRESIDENTS WHO WERE ABSENT.

i A. ;.
1t has been said that Gen. Grant
is the first President who absented
himself from the Capitol. This ia 6
mistake. The New York Times has
looked up the record and finds that
in the good old days when twenty
five thousand year would pay for
a great many men to attend to pri-
vate affairs, Gen. Washington was
absent from the seat OF government,
while re was President, an average
of three or four months In every
year. These absences were not for
a few days at time. but were fire.
qnently prolonged for several weeks
or months continuously. 1t must
be remembered that during the
Presidency of Gen. Washington, the,
seat of government was not ar
Washington, but was never nearer
70 Mount Vernon than Philadelphia,
and 1t took four or FIVE days at least
for any Communication to reach
him. lie received his mails al
Alexandria, and there appears to
have been a post to that place only
twice week. In one of his letters
he asks to have his communications
sent him once q week "bY Mondays
post" When, on one occasion, an
important proclamation was TO be
issued, 1t was prepared in Philadel-
phia and sent TO the President at
Mount Vernon, who forwarded it
by express to Monticello 10 be coun-
tersigned by Jefferson, the Secreta-
ny of State, at the expense of a fur
Their delay of six vdays. Besides
these delays, inseperable from
Washington's residence at Mt. Yer
non, we find that when he took a
trip to the Southern States he was
nearly month without being able
to communicate with the seat of
government, and that he failed to
receive his letters for fifteen days
because no one knew where to find
him. ns -
John Adams followed the exam
pie set the Father of his Country.
As arule he spent the greater lpor-
ton of every summer at Quincy,
eight or ten days in point of time |
from the seat of government, being |
absent months at time. A letter
which he describes as "of much |
Importance" written to him from
Philadelphia, did not reach him till |
August l4th, and when he received
an important letter in cipher from
Holland, he was obliged to send it
to Philadelphia to be deciphered,
causing a delay of about twenty
days. ba. ...., o..
Thomas Jefferson, the great Mo-
gul OF Democracy, was constantly
at Monticello,. three or four days
journey from Washington. From
here he corresponded and here he
discussed with his Cabinet. While
he was Secretary of, state under
Washington, he was hunting deer in
Northern New York and Vermont
with Madison. 1t VIII be seen that
in those days, before the organ iza-
ton of departments had relieved the
chief officers of some of their du-

thought it wise and healthy to abb
