The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1872-10-12
either might have been had he remained

either might have been had he remained
true to his faith, nor to describe how both
ended their career amid the contempt of
the men who had used them, nor vet to re-
produce what Mr.. Greeley said of each
with glowing and memorable invective, I
can never forget my sensations as read
some of his late speeches ON his way
through Pennsylvania to Kentucky. If
there is any one thing of which my friend
ought to be proud it is his magnificent re-
cord as the champion of the doctrines of
the protection of American against the
pauper labor of Europe. [Cheers.] Here
he has been great indeed. And yet as he
coursed through Pennsylvania, whose pres
ent matchless prosperity is the result of
just such teachings; whose workingmen
are enjoying the highest wages they ever
received; whose example is forcing the
manufacturers of Europe, in order to keep
their skilled labor there, to increase the
wages of their workingmen-[ cheers]-
and whose hills and valleys are jocund and
bright with new towns growing up by the
side of new furnaces and FORCES; whose
farmers are growing rich by home markets,
and whose general wealth and population
are increasing beyond PARALLEL say, as
he coursed through Pennsylvania and
spoke at every station-and spoke well, to
he saw none of these things, and drew
no inspiration from the triumph of the
great doctrine that has done so much to ell
eva.e American labor. [Cheers.] Even
at Altoona, among the swarth sovereigns
who make and unmake politicians and
Presidents, and who crowded abont him,
he had no word to speak in favor of the
ideas he had illustrated for thirty years.
CHEERS And then at Pittsburg, just
after the magnificent communion of the
Union veterans, who met to reswear allegi-
ance to their old leader [cheers], and who
were greeted by grateful people as their
long professions passed through the streets,
he had nothing TO say save to reproach
them for re- exciting the passions of the
war. [Cheers.] And then at Louisville
he almost apologised for his hostility to
human slavery. can see the naughty
shareholders as they heard his words.
Silence about the great cause of American
labor; silence about the brave warriors,
the survivors of the armies which saved us
from disunion-and virtual apology for
opposing slavery! No; this is not Horace
Greeley. [Cheers.l This is strolling
candidate, an imposter who has assumed
Horace Greeley's name. Horace Greeley
died when the Democracy insulted him by
a promise to make him Presidents prom
Use they can never fulfil. [Cheers and laugh
teri This is not Horace Greeley, the tariff
man. begging for the votes of the free-tra-
ders; the Union editor begging for the votes
of the ex-rebels; the Abolitionist apologize
ing to the ex.slaveholders; the advocate of
civil service, whose first act should he be
President will be to turn out all tried
officials who did not vote for him. Tire
mendous cheers. The real Horace Greeley
lives in another world of ideas, in the rich
memories of period in which such para
doxes were unknown. The candidate of
the Democracy is another man put forward
by Tammany Hall and the old Confeder-
ates to preach Qualification and Reconcile
alton" to simple souls weak enough to take
the counterfeit for the genuine gold.
[Cheers.]
