To Editor Waterto,on Republican,
belong to the grand army of Democrats
who won't, under any circumstances, vot

snce of opinion between my party and Il. G
he said was id liar.

He said I was rascal and perjuret
villain.
4, He said | was slum.
5. He said | was poisonous reptile.
& 6. He said | was traitor. 3
l. He said it would be the ruin of tht
country if my party ever got any power in
it.
Furthermore, | have not forgotten, and
the Whippers'in for Greeley will find tina,
there are hundreds of thousands of Demo
Gratis who have not forgotten, that for tie
last thirty years, through his Tribune, Gree.
ley has been abusing the Democratic party
most Numerically, as witness the following:
HEvery one who chooses to live by pugil-
ism or gambling or harlotry, with nearly
every keeper of tipping house, is politi-
cally Democrat. ~ Horace Greeley.
'If there were not newspaper nor a
common school in the country, the Demo-
cratic party would be far stronger than it
isl Horace Greeley.
"The essential articles of the Democratic
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" p Horace Greeley.
" We thereupon asked our contemporary
to state frankly whether the,,pugillsts, black
legs, thieves, burglars keepers of dens of
prostitution, etc, etc., were not almost unan.
imously Democrats. Horace Greeley.
''To smoke is Democratic virtue; to
chew is that virtue intensified; to drink rum
is that virtue in the superlative. 81 Horace
Greeley.
"a purely selfish interest attaches the
lewd, ruffianly, criminal, and dangerous
classes to the Democratic party. Horace
Greeley.
''This would amount to six in bed ex-
elusive of any other vermin, for every Dem
ocratic couch in the State of New York in
Guiding those at Sing Sing and Auburn -
Horace Greeley.
''The brain, the heart the soul of the pre-
sent Democratic party is the rebel element
at the South, with its Northern allies
ar mnat II IL
to-day. -. 1t would come into power with
the hate, the chagrin, the wrath, the morti-
fication of ten bitter years to impel and
guide its steps. -. Whatever chastisement
may be deserved by Our national sins, we
must hope that this disgrace and humilia-
ton will be spared u.s. Horace Greeley
81 do not say that all Democrats are
horse thieves, but all horse thieves are GER
tainly Democrats. 81 Horace Greeley.
"But point wherever you please to an
election district which you will pronounce
morally rotten, given up in great part to
debauchery and vice, whose voters subsst
mainly by keeping policy offices, gambling
houses, grog-shops and dark dens of infamy
andthat district will be found at nearly or
quite every election giving a large majority
for that which styles itself the Democratic
party. Thus, the Five Points is the most
Democratic district of our city. 'The
Hook, follows not very far behind it, and so
on. Take all the haunts of dabauchery in
the land, and you will find nine-tenths of
their masterspirits active partsans of that
same Democracy What is the instinct,
the sympathetic chord which attaches them
so uniformly to this Party2 Will you con-
slider ?"-[ Horace Greeley.
"Of that Democracy which robs the effe-
inmate Mexican of half his broad domains,
and regards with a covetous eye the last of
SPANS valuable Professionalism plants
its heel on the neck of the abject and power
less negro, and hurls its axe after the flying
form of the plundered, homeless and desc
late Indian--may it be written on my
grave that never was a follower, and lived
and died in nothing its debtor. y Horace
Greeley.
Do you think can vote for a man who
has talked thus about me and my party 2
Never. ANTI. GREELEY.
