the battlefield in defense of the prin.
ciples OF the Democratic party !" and
ex Gov. Randolph, Of New Jersey, and

clare that they accept Mr.. Greeley be-
cause they can trust him better than

victory for that which they (the South

The New York Express, Greeley paper,
says the question now is whether the
negro was really born to be a slave or
not" Mr.. Greeley is on record in favor
Of secession in favor of paying $780,
100000 for the liberated slaves; in favor
of paying pensions to rebel soldiers,
and in favor of revering the memories
of Lee and Stonewall jackson equally
with that Of Grant and Sherman. He
is on record as saying that the u.Klux
spirit is still alive in the South, "ready
10 be revived TO morrow." In his Portland
speech he declared that, through this
self.same Ku Klux spirit, when he was
elected President, the " carpet baggers'
of the South would be compelled to
fold up their tents aid silently steal
away.
These are but samples of much more
of the same sort that might be repro
duced were it nece ssary. 1t is our de.
sign simply to show the purposes ami.
mating Mr.. Greeleys supporters, and
to apply the Spring Republicans text
to them Can They be Trusted ? .
This clamor for the assumption OF rebel
losses, for the payment of pensions &c
rebel soldiers, of a new attempt at seces
sion, of victory for the I" Lost Cause,
is not Radical electioneering ticket
these extracts are from the opinions
of the leaders of Mr.. Greeleys support
from the class which the Republicans
attempt to prove have been converted
into loyal and true Union men! Il
they have not, but if they are still tain
ted with treason and rebellion, if they
still treasure up right design to force
victory of the principles of the Con
fedcracy through Mr.. Greeley's election
the Springfield Republican says Mr.
Greeley will be, and ought to be, de
feated. We leave the case there. " Car
they be trusted?"
