y Radical minstrel sings:
When this old hat was new. my boys,
The Democrats swurp freely,
And day and night, with great delight,
Tncy damned old Horace Greeley.
But now Il change has DER them come,
The like | never saw:
They now are wearing Greeley hats,
And shouting "Clappaqua."
Four years ago Gen. Grant declared
that "if he was anything at all he
was n Democrat" AS he isn't a

Press.
The Fort Scott (Kansas)Monitor, n
daily paper, and one of the oldest
and most Influential in the State, re-
Gently changed hands, and is now n
spirited and earnest advocatc'of Gree
ley and Brown.
The Radicals tell us if the Demo-
Gratis nominate Mr.. Greeley it will
cNtinguish their party. Again they
say-pcr y. y. Times-"It has long
been evident that, if Mr.. Greeley
We're elected, he would be completely
in the power OF the Democrats"
The Rochester Chronicle declares
and without caring whether the dec
laration is true or fulsc-that Mr..
Greeley has rccamtcd every principle
he ever profcsscd, except friendship
for rebels. AS that is one of the
noblcst principles he could possible
profess, we trust he never will rccant

The following letter was written
by Mr.. Greeley 10 4 citizen of WASH
ington at the time lie went OH the
bail bond of Jefferson Davis:

Gov. Oglesby undertook TO deliver
an immense speech at the Radic:l
meeting i'll indianapolis the other
night, but chad not spoken more
than half an hour when he was over
come by fatigue and was compelled
to close abruptly" That Imdianapo-
lis fatigue they sell at fifteen cents a
drink is enough to overcome any,
body, and Oglesby's friends should
have warned him against it.
The London Fun accounts for Earl
Granril!c's "Fabian Policy" of post
ponlng the arbitration at Geneva of
the Alabama claims, by asserting that
he's waiting till Horace Greeley be-
comes President, and then he'll vince
die an autograph letter out of that
undecipherabie old philosopher.
And when he's got it, he'll declare
it's an entire withdrawal of the in
direct claims-or a receipt in full for
the direct and Indirect oncs-and
nobody will be able TO disprove the
assertion, for Horace himself can't
read his own letters when he has
written.
Say, have you heard the cheering news2
Grant and Dent have got the blues;
The people know what they'r about
They re going to turn the robbers OUT.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
All classes know our cause is true;
Wen vote for Brown and Greeley too
For him who leads the wOrkingmen,
And Old kentucky's gifted son.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
From every state we hear the cry;
The rallying shout Is rising hiyh:
And Horace G. they find will be
Hnrrah. Hurrah!
The North and south, the East and West.
VIII all join hands To do their best;
hnu irttriti's VOTES. cast at the polls,
VIII drive the shod'lirs to their holes.
