OLD readers of the New York Tribune
willremember when Horace Greeley wrote :
"The people of the United State know Gen.
Grant-have known all about him since
Donelson and Vicksburg F; they do not know
his slanderers, and do not. care to know
Them" Exactly the people know GEN
eral Grant, and do not care to know his
slanderers. Once Horace Greeley was
known as man who was proud to utter so
great truth as the above. He now repu-
dates his better self, himself becomes a
slanderer of the President, and the people
do not care to know him.
