Ct character. great ability little impracticable
in party matters, but most excellent Legislator
aud highly respected. If they could have nomi-
mated him We should have felt some pull 1t the
0ther end of that rope spoke Of at the onset.
Charles Francis Adams was proposed by others,

Tammany either thought him lacking ability. OF
Thought he did not come from a family respect
able enough, or from some other cause, they Set
him aside. And who of all mankind did they
bring? That fond and foolish old man; that
man in his dotaSe, who rides about the country
in railroad cars asleep, who loses his memory,
and makes Measurements freely IN the New
York Tribune txnd We all know it is the habit of
very old men to lose their memory. He was
the conquering hero of the hour. Applause and
Laughter 1t looked to me as though those
Liberal Republicans, they were forced into
cpmpanionship with the Democratic party, had
determined indeed. that they would put upon
the head Of their lifelong enemy the fools cap
and bells. They nominated Horace Greeley out
Of spite; or was it to conciliate the Democracy?
Was it because in 1860 he had advocated the right
of secession? And in the Georgia Convention.
when Alexander H. Stephens made his never-to-
be-forSotten appeal against secession he was con-
fronted by copy Of the New York Tribune held
in the hands of Robert Tombs as an argument
and against him. But the Democracy are also
compelled to remember in the same connection,
that when this syren song had been sung long
enough by some of the people in the North to
courage secession. that Horace Greeley was
among the first and most furious to cry - Havoc!'
and urge the Government to let slip the dogs of
war ?! upon the South. Perhaps, however. the
compliments that Horace Greeley had passed
through the New York Tribune upon the Demo-
cratic party were remembered by the Liberal Re-
bublicans, and they were thought to be weighty
considerations in this matter You have all
read Them but be it as it may, forth came Horace
Greeley the Liberal Republican nominee
But where was the Democratic party all this
time? cladestine courtship had been going on
all those months to which have called your at !
tention, and the intended bride doing the |
wooing. The nuptials were to be celebrated at !
the 10th of July "Give us your |
blacklist Republican and then we will take burnt |
cork, If it is necessary to go through this cam
paign and win the offices and patronage of the /
Government And SO, on the 10th day of July,
at precisely 10 O'Clock p. NJ. the hitherto stub |
born Democracy saw great sight, to which that
seen by St. Paul on his journey to Damascus,
must have been but rush-light. Applause |
:" Right about face was the word. They declared
that they had never told truth since they were
bonn into the world; that they did not believe
anything they had ever preached: that they were
perfectly satisfied the Radical Republican party
had been entirely right IL everything they had
lone; that the policy of the Government against
which they had cdntended in season and out of
season. was the very policy of all policies to ex-
lite the admiration of the Democratic party !
They set aside the Democratic creed: they adopt
d the Republican creed as their own they de-
