':Need we add one word more I?
Is not the INFAnTY of Horatio Sey-
mour unspeakable ?"
On the 11th of April Mr.. Greeley
recurred to the subject in an article
from which we Gull these specimens
of gentlemanly courtesy:
"Horatio Seymour, in speech at
Bridgeport on the 31st inst, did,
with intent to defame the Republi-
can party and secure a Copperhead
triumph in Connecticut utter these
two gigantic, deliberate, atrocious,
"The World, in flying to the de-
fense of Gov. Seymour, has not
made the LIES any less, bat tie LIARS
one more"
April 14th, recurring to the same
subject, Mr.. Greeley said:
"Horatio Ex-Governor of our
State, saw fit to assert &c.
"Ihese assertions are hare publicly
branded as LIEs-LIEs uttered Nth
intent to sLdnder and deceive-LIEs
vILLAINoUs in their nature and pur.
pose-LIEs THAT SHOULD CRIMSON THE
BROW OF THEIR UTTERER-LIEs achich
should cover acith INFAMY ereJy one
,cho should make himself their re
sponsi6le indorser as The World has
done"
April 10th, Mr.. Greeley said:
"We stand by every word we have
uttered on this theme as justified
nay, demanded-by Seymour's ma
lignvnt, outrageous, persistent de-
famation of the Republican party
defamation as fragrant in 1864, when
he canvassed as Governor of our
State, as more recently. We have
borne the defamation till further for
bearance would be baseness."
1t would be easy to quote from
the Tribune whole reams of abuse
as coarse and fierce as this of Gov.
Seymour. Gov. Hoffman, and
almost every Democrat of rromi-
nence in the State or country, has
been vilified with as little consider
auion. If Mr.. Greeley is nominated
at Baltimore, these gentlemen will
be expected to address popular meet
ings and advocate his election. If
their sense of self-respect conld pos
sibly permit them to do it, his out
rageous vilifcation of them would be
quoted in all the Republican papers
of the place, on the day of the
meeting, and citizens might be
tempted to stand up in the audiance
and ask the speaker what they had
to say about such unretra cted asper
sions. Even if the speakers were
weak and man spirited enough to
forgive such gross insults without an
apology. what answer could they
make to inquirers who should ask if
they thought the user of such Ian
guage against respected men of
blamfess life has the bearing, man
ners, gentlemanly instincts, and
sense of dignity which befit sue
cessor of Washington To say moth
ing of irreconcilable differences of
principle, bow could the prominent
Democratic statesman of the coun-
try, who have been so outrageously
maligned and insulted by Mr.. Gree
ley, ever bring themselves either to
advocate his election or to give him
their assistance in conducting the
government Such inquiries may, in
some quarters, be disregarded for
the moment; but as they will be con-
stantly repeated, supported every
time Ey additional evidence, they
will pretty certainly produce their
legitimate effect before the assem-
bling of the Baltimore convention.
The nomination of Mr.. Greeley by
the Democratic party is the moral,
political. social, and economical i'm
possibility, which every self-respect-
ing Democrat would have instinct
lively declared it to be at any time
