On the 18th Of September, 1871, in
u draft for a platform endorsed by
Mr.. Greeley, it was said OF the Adj
ministratiOn that:
It abolished slavery.
lt led in the suppression of the re-
belliOu.
It preserved and enlarged the
Union.
1t promptly reduced the enormous
forces thus required to a peace foot
ing.
1t has reduced the debt over two
hundred and fifty millions OF dollars
in the last three years.
1t has simultaneously reduced pub
lie taxation over two hundred and
fifty millions Of dollars per annum.
1t has preserved peace ON the
frontier.
It has won a friendly adjustment Of
the threatening troubles with Great
Britain.
In February, 1871. Mr.. Greeley
said:
ave like General Grant; but We
care far more for Republican aseen-
dency than for any mans personal
fortunes. 1t is in our view of great
that the opposition shall
be kept out Of power.
For Democratic national triumph
means a restoration of power to those
who deserted their seats in Congress
and their places under the last Demo-
cratic President to plunge the country
into the Red Sea Of Secession and Re
beiliOn. Though you paint an inch
thick, to this complexion you must
come at last. The brain, the heart,
the soul, of the present Democratic
party is the rebel element at the
South with its NOrthen allies and
1t is rebel at the core
to-day.
"It would hail the election Of
Democratic President in 1872 as
virtual reversal OF the AppOmattOx
10 would come into power
with the hate, the ehagrin, the wrath, /
the modification, of ten bitter years,
10 impel and guide its steps. It
would hail the tidings of national
bankruptcy with unaliOyed gladness
and uncOncealed eXultatiOn. What
ever chastisement may be deserved /
by our national sins, we must hope
that this disgrace and humiliation
will be spared US"
On the 5th Of January, 1871, when
some remarks on taking his
seat a. Cuhlfludu OF fsepuullcau
Committee, Mr.. Greeley said:
"As to the Administration Of Gen. |
Grant, l recognize no one as Re- |
publican who is not greatful for its
udieiOus, energetic, and successful |
Efforts to procure the ratification of |
he Fifteenth Amendment, that key
tone of our political arch, whereby |
he fruits of our great triumph over /
rebellion and slavery are assured and |
While asserting, the |
light Of every Republican to his un-
Tammeled choice OF a candidate for /
lext President until q nomination is
made, 1 venture to suggest that Gen. !
Grant will be far better qualified for |
hat mOmentOus trust in 1872 than he |
vas in 1868"
Here Mr.. Greeley, now 50 strenuous
or the one term principle, nominated /
General Grant for q second term. |
The views he expresses concerning |
he President and the Administration !
ire just and true, and are and will be
endorsed by the great b.Idy OF the |
,eOpie. The blind and vindictive |
Ia which Greeley has |
ince INDUCED, can never Obliterate
he record he has himself written nf /
feueral Grants eminent ability and 4
perfect integrity.
