Greeley and his Bloody Chasm."

We suspect Mr.. Grseley's peace
proclivities. They smack of that
cowardice and treachery that lead to
war, or absolute submission. His
mode of purchasing peace is conces-
sion, submiss;o and amnesty, when
only handful of rebels, jeff. Davis.
Toombs & Co., are deprived of the
privilege of becoming Senators and
members ofCongress. All rebels have
now the right of suffrage. Who are
separated by the "bloody chasm"
made by the war of which he speaks?
The Democratic party North and
South are not alienated from each
other, nor are the Republicans in the
North alienated from their brethren
in the South. The "bloody chasm"
is the well known difference between
the Republicans and Democratic par
ties. The amnestying of some $50
rebels will not unite these parties.
Greeley's idea of reconciliation is to
win over the Democratic party by
adopting the ideas and policy Of that
party. Who can tell how far he will
go in his attempt at reconciliation q?
Would pensions to rebel soldiers.
prepayment of the rebel debt, or re-
enslavement of the blacks satisfy
that party North and South and fill
up the "bloody chasm" made by the
war ? Mr.. Greeley desires the past
to be forgotten, but wishes rebels to
remember that he bailed jeff. Davis
and favored peaceable secession. He
wants the past blotted out, but par
AIDES a Know Nothing speech falsely
attributed to Senator Wilson, spoken
by some one near 80 years ago. The
Same speech was falsely attributed
to the good Colfax in 1868.
In allowing himself to become the
candidate of the Democratic party
Mr.. Greeley has been guilty of his
usual blunder. He has widened the
chasm between the supporters of the
Union and the party that has at
tempted to destroy it. Nobody
can tell how far Mr.. Greeley
intends to go in satisfying the
Democracy North and South; be.
cause he has openly declared that he
will treat all his supporters alike
whether they have been rebels or
not, without respect to their anteced.
ents, intending, if elected, to honor
and reward the Rebel soldiers alike
with the Union soldiers. IL is this
great insult to the instincts of all lOyal
men, this attempt to obliterate all dis
tnctions between loyalty and trea'
son, freedom and slavery, that has
aroused the patriotic masses against
him and revived the history of the
war, widened the "bloody chasm'
and compelled the people to value
every candidate for favor according
to the wisdom. or patriotism he
showed in that great crisis.
The executive head cf nations are
chosen for the express purpose o.
leading the nations they represent
through actual dangers and possible
crises. Mr.. Greeley's power and
mission is exhausted in producing 4
crisis. He cannot manage one. He
is therefore not fit to be President.

John A. Dix.


The nomination of Gen. John A.
Dix for Governor by the Republicans
of New York Is presage of defeat
for Greeley, Tweed and Co., in that
State in November. Gen. Dix was
Secretary of War under Buchanan,
and it was while serving in that ca.
pacity that he uttered the patriotic
command "if any man attempts to
haul down the American flag, shoot
him on the spot" Shortly after this
loyal utterance Gen Dix was remov.
ed from Office. He was during the
war the recognized leader of the war
democratic party, and he did valua-
bic service to the country during that
trying period. For several years dur
ing and subsequent to the war Gen.
Dix was our Minister to France, APP
pointed by Lincoln. 1t will be re-
membered that in 1868 he warmly
advocated Gen. Grants election.
