Greeley made At Day ton, in which he said:
~ take up The Dayton Journal Of this
morning. and 6od myself there credited with
saying At vicksburg last year, that hoped
tho time would come whom The soldiers that
fought with Lee and Johnson would occupy
Is proud . position I'M the hearts Of the
American people % the soldiers who fought
with. Grant and Sherman. No such words
eYer escaped my lips; no such thought a.
that ever entered my hesrt.''
He denies be ever made any sxch speech.
but l ask you to read his speech at Louis

sentiment running all through It.
Now, win read You the speech he made
at Vicksburg, - represented By himself;
when he got back to New York, on the 18th
ofJune. he found tho papers hsmmering
away at him about that speech, and 20 he
rose to explain at the Lincoln Club Rooms,
and Lere Is what he said 1T has been re
ported very recently that, ct vicksburg,
mginly addressing Southern audience; snd
trying to awaken in them something Of the
sentiment Of nationality and patriotism
which burns in the true American bosom.

when We Of tie North would honor Lee and

Now If you can perceive any great difer-

I now want to read you a. extract from
his letter Of acceptance. in which he wrote
out the platform which secured his
nomiuasion, He said: tAn the political
franchises which hsxs bcen lest through
that convulsion shoald and must be prompt
~ restored and rs-sstablishsd, 90 that there
shall be henceforth no prescribed class and no
disfranchised caste within our Unisa, whose
long-estraReed people shall reunits and fra
fernizs upon the broad basis Of u,ivsrsal
suffrage.
There must b be says, oblivion, that the
Government 10 dealing with the people most
make no distinction on account OF rebels. hut
all must b treated alike, whether they were
on the enc aide or the other. Yoa cannot
carry out that plank ct the platform without
pensionine the rebel soldiers, and the same
principle will apply in regard 10 the payment
Of losses. fyou pay loyal men you must
pay disloyal also. or there would be . pro.
