I the business of the country at tina
J dark crisis known as "Black Friday
if this had been the policy? When {
I gold gambling combination had sue
ceeded IN running gold up to l.62 il
30 minutes, what would have been the
I result if Mr.. Boutwell, had had only 8
small sum, say four or five millions
of gold in the Treasury? It would
have been "takenn at once, and tlie
country would have then been at the
mercy of Highwayman Fisk. 1t was
not the two or three millions sold by
Mr.. B. which burst the bubble SO
much as the fact that he had seventy
five millions at his back. They knew
that fact and they knew they could
not fight him.
THE SUN OF THE WHOLE MATTER
The Republican party has admins
tered the monetary affairs with hon.
esty and wisdom, and has conducted
the nation to q solid and constantly
improving financial condition. II
has passed Homestead bill,n which
gives 1G0 acres to every man who
chooses to take it and live on it. This
bounty IS open to the lChOle ICOrld. The
nation is Gt peace with all mankind,
its dignity Is everywhere recognized
and all its people are equal before the
law. What other people on the face
of the earth can say so much?
WHAT DO WE NEED:
We need an administration that
will inspire confidence. Confidence
is the basis Of all business transactions
between man and man. Without it
no venture will be undertaken, and no
enterprise viii prosper. Especially is
it needed at this time, by reason OF
the fact that We Lave just emerged
from an expensive war;, which dam
| aged business and created an eXtraOr-
dinary sensitiveness in financial af-
fairs. OuI interests demand an ad-
ministration in whose stability and
wisdom the people can cOnfide. The
reelection OF President Grant and a
Republican Congress will secure that
result,
WHAT KIND OF AN. ADMINISTRATION
WOULD GREELEY GIVE Us?
In order to form a reasonable opin-
\ ion upon this point it is not necessary
to believe ar. Greeley personally
dishonest. phat he is so is asserted
by men who have had opportunity to
/ know, and they are not wanting in
[ citation of circumstances to prove the
charge. For instance Mr.. g. de-
nouhced IAs-naacrats in. these words
/ - 10 snake IS q DemOcratic vlrJue
to chew is that virtue intensified; to
drink rum is that virtue in the super
lative." And yet, while vOciferOusiy

of forty millions of dollars.
Further, that he was tardy and 10th,
as the files of his paper disclose, Ia
assist in ferreting out the frauds Oi
the Tammany robbers, which hesita-

tiOns which would naturally dictate
silence. But, for the sake of the respect
many of us have heretofore borne

were an honest man. Two things

WHAT MANNER OF MEN ARE MIR
GREELEY'S SUPPORTERS:
They are men who have heretofore
advanced views calculated to impair
/ the national credit and destroy OuI
good name. Look over the colImns
/ of the Congress ional Globe, ant you
will find the reputation doctrines OF
the Democratic party stated in plain
terms. They are advocated by such
men as Mungen and Morgan, of Ohio
! Niblack and Voorhees,, and the same
men now advocate the election oil
Horace Greeley.
The Weekly Caucasian of Lexing-
ton, Mo-, first nominated Horace
| Greeley for President. Tue names OF
| Greeley and Brown stand rrt-tIlo bead
tef-Tts COLUMNS, and below, 1t states its
platform in these words:
"We believe In secession, in the
! rightfulness of slavery, in the illegal
/ ity of all the Yankee-nigger bayonet
amendments to the Constitution, and
| the total Reputation of all debts, Fed
eral, State and county, contracted by
/ Radical fraud, violence and misrule." "
Let any candid citizen read the re-
marks of Democratic Senators, made
/ in the Senate on the 5th day of last
June, in favor of payment to acknowl-
edged rebels for mail services after
the beginning of the war,and he will
| get a fair idea of the claims a Demo-
| cratic Congress would recognize and
send to the Treasury for payment.
THE PAYMENT OF PENSIONS TO DIS
ABLED REBEL SOLDIERS
Is openly and honestly advocated at
| the South. How stands Mr.. Greeley
| upOn this point? Let us see. Ger
tain correspondence has lately come
to light, showing that his nomination
to the Presidency was the result OF
bargain and sale made and completed
in the latter part of 1871. This fact is
supported by sworn testimony
Among other damaging statements il
is testified that Mr.. Greeley declared
himself to be 'JdUOrd5ye to q ldlC pro-
riding the payment Of pensions By the
General Government to disabled rebel
| soldiers" This declaration was made
while a correspondence was being had
by Mr.. Carmichael, of Unadilla, y.
Y, with Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Seymour
and others as to the preparation Oi
new issues for the campaign. The
facts are sworn to by several, and
among them Mr.. G. S. Carpenter, ed
itOr of the OneOnta Herald, who
swears that he saw and read the let
ters of Mr., Greeley to that effect. A;
to the reliability of Mr.. Carpenter
the Albany Weekly Journal of July
q, 1872, says: "rhere is no escape
from this startling disclosure. We
personally know Mr.. Carpenter to b'
a gentleman of the highest and mos
trustworthy character" Are the
American people, whose precious son:
perished as a ransom for the nation
ready to compensate those w1O weIE
bent upon its destruction ,
At the South, Mr.. Greeley's party
is the party that brought on the war
at the North, it is the party, who
with meaner treason, encouraged
their Southern comrades.
Mr.. Greeley is supported by mer
who admit, without blush, that they
plotted and attempted the destruction
of the populOus cities of the NOrtt
by fire-and the people of the NORTH
! by pestilenee-(See Jake ThOmpsOn'i
letter and the disclosures in relation
to infected clothing.)
Mr.. Greeley is at this hour maneu
vering to secure that party a MAORI

ty what would become of revenue anC
retrenchment, and the laws whicl
will be constantly required fully Il
guarantee personal security in tn
South? With such a party at hi
back, a Cromwell could not success
! fully resist. Does any body suppos
that Greeley could, even if he would
