their Democratic president to plunge
their country into the Red Sea of seces-
sion and rebellion Though you paint an
inch thick to this complexion you must
come at last. The brain, the heart, the
soul Of the present Democratic party IS
the rebel element of the South, with Its
Northern allies and sympathlzers. --Hor-
ace Gieeleu.
Yes; Gen. Grant has failed to graft
| fly some eager aspirations, and has there
| by incurred some intense hatreds.
These do not and will not fail; and his
administration will prove at least equally
| vital. We shall hear lamentation over
| failures from those whose wish is father
to the thought; but the American peo-
pie let them pass unhcaded. Their srong
arm bore him up triumphantly through
the war into the White House, and they
still uphold and sustain him; they never
failed and never will.-Hordce Greeley.

Rebel Soldiers to be PenSioned.

Horace Greeley on his recent Southern
tour, made speech at Vlcksburg In
which he hoped the time would come
when the soldier who fought with Lee
and johnson would occupy as proud
nosition in the hearts OF the American
neople as the soldier who fought under
Grant and Sherman. That Lee, John
son and jeff DAYS. should be revered.
honored and trusted, as much as Zen.
Hancock, or any officers who fought 20
save the country, they sought to destroy.
A traitor is as dear to the heart OF Hor-
ace Greeley as true, loyal man who de-
tends his country's flag.
The continent he expressed at Vlcks-
burg was caught up by rebels everywhere.
Since his nomination these rebels declare
their determination to ask for pension
for rebel soldiers the same as now gwen
TO the Union soldiers, and they use this
as one of the arguments to induce Con-
federate soldiers to vote for Greeley, for
thew say IF he is elected, you Will gee
q peusion." Is there soldier who went
into the Union army who wants rebels
pensioned and paid by the Northern menf
and can you endorse what Greeley SAID
at Vicksburg? There is no mistaklng the
signs of the times, that, in the election
Of Greeley, rebels, from jeff. Davis down,
will be called to the front, and given
power, and position under his admins
tration. We heard an old veteran say
to- day that, if he was sure Horace Gree
lev would be the next President, ne
should regret the four years he spent IN
the Union army. He said it you'd %
time thrown away, and useless sacrlnce.

THE AMERICAN STANDARD.

In the London Chronicle of July, l776,
the then American standard was thus
described:
The colors of the American fleet have
snake with thirteen rattles. the four
teenth budding. described in the attitude
of going to strike, with his motto,
heraldry that the worthy properties of
the animal in the crest borne shall be
considered, and the base ones cannot be
intended. The ancients account snake
as an emblem of wisdom, and, in certain
attitudes, of endless duration. The rat
tlesnake is properly representative of
America, as this animal is found in no
other part of the world. The eye of this
creature excels in brightness that of any
other animal. She has no eyelids, and
is therefore an emblem of vigilance. =
She never begins an attack nor meyer
surrenders; she is therefore an emblem
of magnanimity and true courage. " hen
injured or in danger of being injured, she
never wounds till she has given notice to
her enemies of their danger.
No other of her kind shows so much
generosity. When undisturbed in peace,
she does not appear to be furnished with
weapons of any kind. They are latent in
the roof of her mouth, and even when
extended for her defence appear, to those
unacquainted with her, to be weak and
contemplate; yet her wounds, however
small, are deceive and fatal. She is SOL
itary. and associates with her kind only
when it is necessary for their preserva-
ton. Her poison is at once the necessary
means of disgesting her food and certain
destruction to her enemies. The power
of fascination, attributed to her by a gen.
erous construction resembles America.
Those who look steadily on her are de-
hghtful and Involuntary advance tow
ards her. She is frequently found with
thirteen rattles, and they increase year
ly. She is beautiful in youth and in age.
Her tongue is blue and forked as the
tightening.
