Reasons for Supporting Greeley.

As the Petersburg Progress says, there is nc
inconsistency involved the support OF Greeley
on the part of the South, as eve are now striv-
ing for objects widely remote from those We set
out to accomplish eleven years ago. Disruption
of the Union we then deemed our safeguard
from the ills which threatened our social life
and domestic Institutions Now we are con-
scious that in union lies our safety, if not our
existence. Then we endeavored to free our.
selves from the power Of the federal govern
ment. Now We wish to form an integral part
of the nation to re-establish the relations form
erly existent between the Individual States and
the central government, whose paramount au-
thority is an accomplished fact incapable Of
denial. Mr.. Greeley, like ourselves, desires tc
heal the wounds caused by civil strife. Mr..
Greeley, like ourselves, desires the South to be
released from the bondage which hampers hel
energies and retards her material advancement.
Mr. Greeley, like ourselves, desires that an
American citizen, wherever his habitation, shall
no longer be subject to arbitrary Imprisonment
from the hand of power and that civil liberty
be no more meaningless phrase. Mr.. Gree
ley, like ourselves, desires the administration
of the government purged of corrupt influences
and freed from the vile abuses which render il
an offence to honesty and decency. Finally
Mr.. Greeley, like ourselves, believes that The
soldier has completed the task assigned him BY
the people; that the sword should be sheath
ed, and not be perpetually brandished before
our eyes, and that peace with no grim visaget
reminders Of carnage should Danish the mar
tial pomp which invests the White House will
the appearance Of the military headquarters o
the Commander Of the Army of the Potoma
rather than Of the residence of the Chief Mag
istrate Of the Republic. If diversity ofpurpos
sundered Us in 1861, identity of design mus
necessarily effect an alliance. Parties seeking
the same end must and will affiliate. The.
gravitate towards each other as certainly ant
as surely as material bodies in the planetar.
system. 1t is not inconsistent to support Mr.
Greeley, for there is no living issue to separat
Us. 1t is not irrational, for a common end die
tates union Of effort; and we act in obedienc
to law we cannot resist"

Our Radical opponents are still delving into
the files Of the Tribune, to find in it hard things
said about the South during the war The
South does not seem to mind it. Greeley, when
the war was over, wanted to restore a cordial
union, and the free civil government of the
Constitution. He has been for some time work
ing cordially TO that end, and has naturally
found himself, at last, in union with all patri-
otto citizens who want to put an end to oppres-
sion and pillaee. noW that the war is over.
