Tho Rallyi.g Cries Of it, Tsllevers.
The first paper in the United
States to nominate Horace Greeley
as candidate for the Presidency
was the Lexington (Mo.) Caucasian,
and in acknowledgment thereof Mr..
Greeley wrote the editor Of the Cau-
casia's a letter of thanks for the
interest he had manifested in his
behalf. These facts give pertinency
to the appended declaration ofprin-
ciplcs, which is reprinted without
the change of a word or letter, from
the delectable organ to which Mr..
Greeley specially belongs by right
of original discovery:

Ing villain, Ulysses S. Tumblebug,

beautiful and patriotic words: at

THE FOURTEENTH AND FIFrEENrH
AMENDMENTS FRAUDS UPON THE
CONSTITUTION.
Judge Jeremiah S. Black, of
Pennsylvania, in his letter announc-
ing his purpose to support Horace
Greeley, speaks of the RecOnstruc-
ton act as n cruel and unjust bill of
attainder. OF the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments he says:
'"They were frauds upon the spirit
and letter Of the instrument, mas.
much as they effected the worse
outrage which it was made to pre-
vent"

From the speech of x-Governor Brown, Greeley
Ire, Mt Nashville Tenn.
81 do not care what Greeley has
said in the past against the South
and its institutions. 1t is enough
TOR me to know that now he is in
favor ofrestoring her to her pristine
rights. GREELEY, If ELECTED, WILL
PAY THE LOSSES OF THE SOUTH"
From the speech OF Hon. Z. ]. Golladay, NJ. c.

"Grecley, at the outset ofthe war,
was in favor ofletting the maynard
sisters depart in peace and after
ward went singlehanded and alone
to meet our commissioners in
Canada, to treat for peace. Not a
Democrat in the North dared go
with him or manifest any desire to

the South for her slaves, and l be-
lieyc he is still.''
"THE OLD REBELLION" REVIVED.

orator, at Moore, La.
"Twelve millions of people would
hail, as lover halls the dawn Of o
first smile, the flash of the first
brave sword for vengeance and
Liberty. know what is swelling in
every heart, that if we could go
forth into the tented field again, and
align ourselves in battle array, and
in one brave conflict determine our
veal or woe, and whether ourselves,
our wives, and children should be
slaves for all time to come, how
gladly we would dare the issue. It
would be either swift death or glori-
Gus victory" aal

sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors
