their iguominious defeat are sultifying

Do they imagine, in political contem-
piation the return Of States rights?
Do they hope for species of rccos

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 rctreating echoes Of
whose thunders Grant stood the Nation s
champion and saviour! Greeley hates
slavery and secession, and Ku-klux and
aristocracy, and other such Southern
rights as he hates perdition.

promise themselves in his election, whose
hand aud voice, and lie has been against
them and their principles.

whininsly want any change.

opponents ofthe Union, or the Ku klux,
or the aristocrats any good, he will not
be able.
