GREELEY ON DEMOCRATS.
The following are a few OF Hor-
aces choice expressions before the
Democracy patted him on the back,
with q nomination:
DEMOCRATS ARE THE FATHERS OF
SOUTHERN MULATToEs.
All do know that there are several
hundred thousand mulattoes in this
country: and we presume that no one
has any serious doubt that the fathers
of at least nine-tenths of them are
white Democrats, and we are told.that
those Democats, if they will have
yellow children, might better than
otherwise treat the mothers respect
lively as wives, after the laudable
pattern of that eminent Democrat,
Vice President Richard N. Johnson.
i Horace Greeley December 10,
1867.
DEMOCRATS ARE PUGILIsTs, GAMBLERS,
OR HARLOT-KEEPERS.
Every one who chooses to live by
pugilism, or gambling, or harlotry,
with nearly every keeper of tip
ping house, is politically a Demo
crat.-l Horace Greeley, January Z,
1868.
DEMOCRATS FILL ALL THE HAUNTs OF
DEBAUCHERY.
Point wherever you please to an
election district which you will pro-
nounce morally rotten, given up to a
great part of debauchery and vice,
whose voters subsist mainly by keep
ing policy-offices, gambling houses,
grog shops and darker dens of infa-
my, and that district will be found
at nearly or quite every election
giving a majority to that which styles
itself the democratic" party. Take
all the haunts of debauchery in the
land, and you viii find nine-tenths
of their master-spirits active par
tisans of that same Democracy.
What is the suscinct, the sympathet-
ic chord, which attaches them 80
uniformly to this party? Will you
consider P Horace Greeley.
LOVE RUM, AND HATE NIGGERs.
The essential articles Of the Dem
ocratic creed are "love rum and
hate niggers." The less one learns
and knows, the more certain he is to
vote the regular ticket from A to
Lizard Horace Greeley.
LEwD, RUFFIANLY, AND CRIMINAL.
A purely selfish interest attaches
lewd, ruffianly, criminal and danger
GUS classes to the Democratic party.
II Horace Greeley.
WHAT is MEANT BY A RETURN OF DEM
oCRATs To POWER.
The brain, the heart, the soul of
the present Democratic party is the
rebel element at the South, with its
Northern allies and sympathizers.-
1t is rebel at the core to-day, 1t
would come into power with the ha' e,
the chagrin, the wrath, the NORTH.
cation of ten bitter years to impel
and guide it's steps. 1t would de-
vote itself to taking off or reducing
tax after tax until the treasury was
deprived of the means Of paying in
terest on the national debt, and would
hail the tidings of bankruptcy with
unalloyed gladness and unconcealed
exultation. Whatever chastisement
may be deserved by our national
sins, we must hope that this disgrace
and humiliation may be spared U.s.
Horace Greeley, February 1871.
HE DECLARES HE is BITTER ENEMY
OF THE DEMOCRATS. " ...
I saw the other day a suggestion
that would probably be the best
Democratic candidate to run against
General Grant for President. /
thought that about the most absurd
thing I ever heard or read. If the
Democratic party was called upon to
decide between Grant and myself, l
knewthat their regard for what they
must call principle would induce
nine -tenths of them to vote against
me. Why2 / am decided enemy
of that party, even in its most re-
spectacle aspects Horace Gree
