From tie Messaoer Franco Apy1ean. -
Mr. Greeley Is what may be called SELF

Grafton would be to-day divided IN two three perhaps
four parts each hostile to the other Thanks TO MS Sood
sense and courage, Lincoln was not seduoed by the
sophism Of Mr. Greeley nor frightened by the menaoes
Of Mr. Jefferson Davis and the Republic has escaped the
Greeleys subsequent acts matters not but we may not
so easily forget the ignobe and odious role he played
during the Franco Prussian war MIR. Greeley mas APP

He has sbred ali his principles to please tho German
party and this party has made him candidate TOT rre

tion presided over by Mr. Schuz drew its principal
that il ever Mr. Greeley elected President Of the United
States will be due to the influence of the compatrots
Of william and Bismarck.

UNJUSTIFIABLE PERSONAL VENOM.
from The Lancaster Express.
We notice with regret disposition on the
part OF a number of Republican newspapers TO ridcule
Horace Greeley and to laugh at his nomination for the
Presidency rs huge joke aud broad farce. Still more
deeply is to be regretted that some journals OF high
character and responsibility, among them The NeW YORK
Post edited by VIM Cullen Bryant indulge in the most
bitter and think. uDiustihable personal venom and
detraction The course pursued by Mr. Greeley during
the war; and the principles and measures advocated by
him In his paper or elsewhere, are matters OF
legitimate discussion, and about which there may
be honest differences OF Opinion but when The
Post assais his purity Of character and in
tegrty of motive and especially when it classes him
socially with professional gamblers and prize fighters
like MOrrissey and policy vendors like Wood, it does
that which filings insult in the face OF every man who
knows the character Horace Greeley, and which
fail to damage the cause which lhe Post seeks TO
