THE BAILING OF JEFF. DAVIS.
Mr. Greeeys signature to the appearance bond Of JEFF.
Davis was one Of those acts which TO be msun
dersto0d aud misconsrIed. l know that there
great many to whom JEFF Davis appeared in the light Of
an already convicted culprit, who would surely have
been hanged had not Mr. Greeley stepped forward and
released him. There those who actually believe that
jeff Davis would not have been set Tree II II had not
been for Mr.. Greeley What surprise IL will re to those
unsophscated souls to learn that the first for the
release OF jeff Davis was made by Henry Wilson OF Mas
sachusetts, the regular Republican candidate for
the VcePresidency, who the 2ls OF March, 1861 In
troduced resolution asking that Davis be admitted to
bail This the first move You know what followed.
Yet il queer that while thousands blame Greeley for
going the bail bond nobody 1ames Wilson for moving
that Davis should be admitted 10 bail, and even dis
charged on his recognZance. OF course you know
that Greeley did not sign the bond out OF sympathy
with JEFF Davis or his cause but because 1t was gener
ally believed that the appearance OF some prominent
NOrtherner and especially old AboltiOniss. among his
b0ndsmen would be typical representation as IL were
OF the hand fellowship held out by the North TO the
fallen South token Of the expected reconciliation
Viewed in this light. 1t was noble act lappauseJ; ana
more so, because It act of q self-sacrhCe. Mr.
Greeley knew that It would be misunderstood He knew
that 1t would cost HIM his election TO the United states
Senate, which had already been considered foregone
conclusion. He knew that he would be denounced and
condemned by the unthinking populaee He should have
known that he would nure himself In business for you
will remember that his paper was discontinued 0y thou
sands of indignant subscribers and yet he did what lie
honestly believed to be for the good Of his country and
the pacicaton and reconciliation OF the South. The
man who make such sacrifices of personal interest
and ambition and brave the enmity aud of thou
sands Of political associates proves himself pos
sessed Of more than one OF the qualities that are nes
mabe in the character Of President. lApphuse.I
