said, some Of his friends feared Greeley would de-.
strOy the democratic party. There was no fear OF
1t In this country. There are but two great perma-
nent partes-that OF power OF prerOgative and that
of constitutional restraints. Because Greeley rep
resented the latter principles the speaker sup
ported him. He inveighed against nepotism, favor

up this movement before the politicians and the
democratic party, recruited by good men OF all
parties, would move on and purity the government.
