We want Horace Greeley for President,
| whatever be his past record. Mr.. Greeley
comes to the people of the North and the
South as great statesman, man of large
brain and liberal principles, and offers to
the people a restoration of all their rights
Mr.. Greeley is a lifelong Republican, the
root and sap of the old Republican party-a
frmer Republican to-day than Mr.. Grant
But this is not the question now, and signi-
fes nothing. No matter what has been his
past, he is right now, and his heart beats
honestly, sincerely and devOtedly with sym
pathy for every citizen of the North or
South, for Democrats, Repubicans-all.
Mr.. Greeley is one of the great men of this
nation; ne has taught the American people
some good lessons for the cOuntry's great
ness; he has differed with our people, but
they agree now on the same platform; he
has their support and in November, pre-
dict, will have their votes
Mr. Brown, of Missouri, who comes to us
on the same ticket for Vice President, is
another great man, and has done some re-
markable acts for our people, that were
prompted by the loftiest sentiments of pa
triotism and humanity. Soon after the war
he relieved the people of Missouri of terrible
expressions, and made dissatisfied, discOn-
tented and unhappy people prosperous.
Let no narrOw-mindedness, or persona
animosities, or party differences now infu
ence the South. Let us see our great need
and appreciate our only rock Of Defense
her sole anchor of safety, and with one
unanimous voice maintain the man who is
sent us as a deliverer.
Mr.. Greeley condemns the attempt of
Grant to establish the ascendency of mill
tary over civil rule; he afirms with ex-
plicitness equal freedom to all citizens. lie
is antagonistical to none of the SOuth's de
mands now, and offers to walk with us in
his future career. Texas will go for Gree
ley. Let every Southern State follow after
her wisdom.
A word now upon the agricultural pros
poets of this district Such crops are, per-
haps, not known in the whole South, and
finer certainly not even in the Great West.
The harvest is glorious, the bright yellow
sheaves Of wheat bursting with golden
beauty and rich plenty, and gathered into
barns groaning under the weight. The
corn crop bids fair to be wonderful. Such
fields of corn my eyes never beheld. Acres
and acres stretch forth in abundant beauty
and rich promise of plenty. There is
peculiar rich, dark green to the leaf, and
perfection of growth, which have found in
no other country. Surely Ceres smiles,
well content, as she casts glance of pride
over this rich harvest of plenty. Bread
stuffs will be Iowa poor mans blessing.
The wild Texas horse feeds on these
beauteous prairies in numberless herds, and
the finest of animals snuff the scented gale
and toss their proud names to the breeze in
free and wild delight. Good ponies may be
bought readily for thirty-fve and forty dol
lars.
The weather here is glorious now. We
have had abundant showers. The skies are
of as deep cerulean blue as any Italian |
heavens, and all nature here smiles in |
beauty and plenty, almost be-
yOnd description.
