A railroad man says Greeley is on the down

In Iowa they compare the enthusiasm for
Greeley to the racing qualities Of the mud

The New York Post suggests, in view of
Mr.. Greeley's demands that the country be
surrendered to the democracy because the
latter are converted, that it is usual for the

his feelings by exclaiming; "This district

day and be governed by six republicans; and
then must stay all night to listen to darned

THE TACTICS OF THE GREELEY.
TIES

The New York Evening Post concludes
a well written article on the campaign as
follows: SIT is campaign of pure false
hood. There is no pretence OF any re-
spect for the truth. No mans character,
however long established, however I'M
Questionable, Is a defence against the
most unhlushing vilfication. No lie, how
ever monstrous, however inapproachable,
however self-evident, that is not invented
without the smallest scruple, adhered to
with the most persevcring tenacity, and
repeated without the slightest regard to
the proof that it is totally without foun-
dation. Forgery is resorted to as the
most clever OF devices. So complete is
the reliance upon either the stupidity or
the ignorance OF the public addressed,
whether from the platform or through the
columns of newspapers. that there is no
pretencc when falsehood is disproved, or
a forgery exposed, that it was mistake
or a misapprehension, or misintorma-
ton. On the contrary 1t is repeated as
before: the proof that should have de-
stroyed it, is either disregarded altogether
or denounced in the coarsest language.
Extraordinary and unprecedented for
number and magnitude as they are, told
directly and told by implication, yet We
do not remember that II single one OF
them. however atrocious it has been
shown to be, has ever been taken back.
The boldness with which the regulations
of the best known men in the country are
handled is exceeded only by the utter
recklessness Of truth and even OF the re-
hottest probability, which mark this char
acteristic Of the campaign. We certainly
speak in moderation when we say that
there has never been SO debased and SC
deinoralizing period in the politics Of
this country.
81 Such condition of things is very
miserable one under any aspect. and in
inone more so than in the fact that many
, of the younger men among the journalists
of the country have been drawn into its
: support. The worst of the Jim Fisk era
in the commercial world was not so much
that he stole an immense amount of mon
ev, as that he made the life Of the sue
cessful thief so brilliant and attractive
that young men just entering upon their
careers were cheated out of all sober and
honest views of commercial life by the
baneful influence of his example. There
seems to be an analogous condition OF
things in this campaign, and certain
class Of young men have become so de-
bauched with the hope Of sudden promi-
nence, by success in a political adventure,
: that ell scruples. all respect for the truth,
all sense OF moral responsibility and of
decency are thrown away. This, howev-
err, is to be hoped with confidence, that,
that tremendous weight Of common sense
and stern integrity which belongs TO the
great mass of the common people OF this
country, will sweep away month hence
this outbreak of political corruption and
insanity, as within the last year or two
they have swept away in this State and
city the commercial and judicial corrup
, ton that seemed at one time 80 over
whelming and SO dangerous"

"This campaign is entirely personal say our
opponents. Your principles are all right
We accept them, but we want you to get rid
of that man Grant. That great and greatly
angry man, who has just left us and gone
across the waters, Charles Sumner, took oc-
casion to say word that is an insult to three.
fiiths. may say four-fifths of the people in
the Southern States. What was it? Grant
in the White House is a standing menace
against reconciliation. He holds up the red
flag OF oppression to freemen in the Republic.
l ask you. men Of Allegheny county, how is
II that soldier. q volunteer, citizen, a man
who has been true to the country, should be a
menace against reconciliation. First of all,
why all this talk about reconciliation? Who
must be rec0nciled? Are we not reconciled
now? Do not the stars and stripes float over
forty millions of freemen? Are not the re-
publicans of the South and the republicans of
the North brethren to day, and are not the
men who shouted for Greeley at Cincinnati.
at Baltimore, in Texas, or the red handed
rebels and the sneak,ng traitors all over the
land, are not these brelhern? do not see.
then, who is to be reconciled. There is no need
OF reconciliation. There is hut way of recon-
ciliation, which IL open to all, and that is
to kiss the flag and swear to eternal allegiance
to it. If GU are to remove that soldier from
the White House, can You stop there? You
must go on and remove General Noyes, who
has only one leg, from the G,vernorship OF
Ohio. You must remove Lucius Eairchild Of
Minnesota, who has only one arm, and that Is
not enough. You must go into every county
| in Pennsylvania and remove from your court
houses your recorders, your treasurers, wht
have been good soldiers, for they are al
standing menaces to the country. Are yol
ready to do that? Cries of No! No!'1
| am not here to talk State politics, but
will say that the trouble with Hartranft is, ac
cording to our democratic friends, that he wa
too good q soldier. l met a man in low
who halls from your State aud asked him
what is all this talk about Hartranft? He said

tween Calhoun and Greeley upon the doctrine
Of secession we came across the Chicago
Times, which, in the following paragraph,
made the matter clear:
The difference between Greeley and CAL
noun IS not upon the doctrine OF secession !;
upon that they entirely agreed. The differ
enee between them consists in the fact that
Caiboan did not presume to know what the
future desires OF the people might or might
not be, whereas what Mr.. Greeley knows

that can possibly happen or not happen to
