Do they imagine, in political contem-

Do they hope for speciesof rccog

ADMINISTRATION Let them remember
that Greeley in prophetic patriotism,
first saw the cloud, not larger than
mans hand, of that storm Of destruc-
tion amid the last retreating echoes Of
whose thunders Grant stood the Nation s
l
champion and saviour! Greeley hates
slavery and secession, and Ku-klux and
aristocracy, and other such Southern
rights as he hates perdition.
What do these maudiin mafeoutents
promise themselves in his election, whose
hand aud voice, and life has been against
them and their principles.
Like whipped and defeated boys they
whiningly want any change.
"Any thing but Grant," is their cry
to-day, who tomorrow will say perhaps
with better and bitterer reason "Any-
,hig but Greeley" God knows that
would sound more natural rs a Southern
wall.
But even if Greeley would do the
opponents ofthe Union, or the Ku klux,
or the aristocrats any good, he will not
be able.
Hic endorsement BY the Democratic
Convention has killed, whatever hopes
may have existed of his splitting Grant s
vote.
