The Right of Secession.
"Wheneyer considerable portion of our Union
shall deliberately resolve to 60 out shall resist
all coercite measures to keep it in "If the Cotton
States shall decide that they do better of
the Union than in it, we insist letting them go in
peace" "1f the Slave States, the Cotton States
the Gulf States only, choose to form an Independent
nation, they have a clear moral right to do so."-
Horace Greeley IN 1860 and 1861,
The above sentiment. often repeated
by MIR. Greeley, in the past ten years.
is the last hope of the Lost Cause,
Suppose Greeley elected next November
to the Presidency, and installed the 4th
of March following with his election,
will ID all probability come legalized reb-
ell Congress. Then suppose, what would
be almost certain, a request from the ten
late rebel States, for permission to peace
ably secede from the Union, and estab-
llsh an Independent government. In
that event. Horace Greeley, the Presi-
dent and Commander-in-chief of the ar
mics and navies of the United States,
is solemnly pledged to let then, 90 IN
peace. and thus the half million of prec-
ions lives, and the four thousand millions
sacrificed by the Nation for its life,
will be frittered away, and worse than
lost, in obedience to the whims of this
crotchetty deluded old man.-Ec.
DR.. Z. B. SELLEN, of Watkins, New
York, has just returned from journey
through Kentucky. Before he made
the journey he had signed a call for u
Greeley meeting. Since his return he
had come out for Grant. because he
found all the Kentucky rebels supper
ting Greeley for the avowed purpose of
obtaining power, and, as far as possible,

we're in before the war. He adds: 1.-The
Unionists, both white and black, are SOL
id for Grant.

There are several unfortunate, Ku-

SECRETARY Boutwell, has delivered
speech at Goldsboro, North Carolina
in which he told the rebels some whole
some truths. Much of the speech was
naturally devoted to an explanation of
the financial policy of the administration
but Mr. Boutwell, took occasion to say
that the bloody chasm'' of which so
much is heard cannot be filled up by
electing Greeley to the Presidency. The
right of all men 20 citizenship must
be freely acknowledged by the people
of the South before perfect unity will
again prevail. Speaking of the cry
of dishonesty in Office. Boutwell, said
great portion of this grievance was the
outgrowth of Johnson's time. The
Democrat President and Republican
Senate were not in harmony and as
consequence unfit persons were chosen
to fiji positions of trust. So it would
be if Horace Greeley is elected in No
vemher. Such result would be a Demo-
cratic victory. Democrats would con-
troll the Cabinet and dictate appoint
ment. The Senate will certainly remain
Republican for at least four years to
come. Under these circumstances we
could only expect return to the lncom-
potency and extravaganza OF johnson S
administration of affairs.-Er-
