What Horace Greeley Knows About General
Grants Annual Message.
The following article, reviewing Presi-
dent Grants last annual message to Con-
gress, is taken from the New York Tribune,
of December 9th, 1871. 1t was the lead
ing editorial of that date, and, no doubt,
from the pen of Mr.. Greeley. Please copy
and oblige LIBERAL DEMOCRAT.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
To war-worn abolitionists, accustomed
to find in each Presidents message them
selves berated, their motives aspersed, and
their devotion to impartial liberty stig-
matized as impelled by sectional hate,
and in essence little better than treason,
it must be refreshing to read this
message, wherein aversion to slavery
at home and abroad, with Recommendations
that our citizens be forbidden to hold slaves
in countries where human bondage is still
legal, congratulations on the initiation of en-
franchisement in Brazil, hopes that the pro-
cess may be FASTENED, complaints that
SPANS semblance of emancipation in Cuba
and Poto Rico is mockeIy, &C., &C., are
so prominent. The fact that the President
who thus nobly embodies and enunciates
the better impulses of our people was him
self a PARTISAN of slavery down to the out
break of our great civil war, so far from
weakening the force of his demonstrations
against the discarded scourge and shame of
our country, but intensifes and emphasizes
that testimony. Just compare this mes
Buchanan's uttered barely twelve years ago,
by our Republic within that period will be
manifest. Letnone doubt that the meliora-
ton is permanent, and far more likely to
be increased than diminished.
Our foreign relations appear to be salts
factory in the main, and the President is
right in regarding and representing our
late treaty with Great Britain, whereby
our grave differences with that power are
submitted to friendly arbitration, as a
striking evidence of progress in true civili-
cation. Grant that the treaty in question
is less favorable to us on some points than
might fairly have been expected-that we
should have insisted on total abolition of
war on private property (other than contra
banD afoat-still we hold that treaty a
theme of just felicitation, honorable to both
parties, and suspicious to the future peace
of Chistendom. We believe General
Grants fluctuations thereupon will be fully
responded to by great majority Of his
countrymen. .A
