fully at Mr. Greeley. He has been lifelong
Ab0litionist. lie has been the avowetl enemy
cf the South. lie has said the harshest and
bitterest things Of the Democratic party. His
record up to '65 put him in open antagonism to
all our cherished ideas and sentiments. Not
withstanding all this, we intend to support him
just as cordially a. we do Gratz Brown. We find
no fault with those whose honest convictions
put them in opposition. They understand fully
that every vote agrinst MIR. Greeley is vote

maintenance Of carpet-bag roguery at the South.

tnuance Of rule that has robbed the South Of

Of thirty-four. She was first married IN 1855, at
the aye of seventeen, and her husband died two
years afterward She married her second hus-
