An old Democrat i'm Michigan, who
is well posted in regard to the tender
sympathy which Greeley has hereto
fore felt toward the Democratic party,
thus ironically answers the question
"Why Democrats should support Gree
ley" He says:
II feel it to be my duty to support
Horace Greeley for President, because
/. Upon the occasion of a slight diff.
ference of opinion between NV party
and H. g., he said l was damned
liar.
2. He said was hOrsc-thief.
3. He said | was rascal and perjur-
cd villain.
4. He said was slum.
3. He said was poisonous rep
tile.
6. He said was traitor.
z. He said my affinities were all bad,
(not female.)
8. He said it would be the ruin of
the country if my party ever got any
power in It.

quire me to leavea party Of liars, horse

it was the first paper to nominate Hor-

supports him with all its might. Right
under the names ofGreeley and Brown
it keeps its platform of principles
standing, and it is the southern inter-
probation oftthe Cincinnati platform,
