What do These Things Mean ?


What did Horace Greeley mean, in
his letter from Memphis to the New
York Tribune of June 8th, last year
written on the third Of that month,
when he said:
am confident that two-thirds Of the men,
with nine-tenths Of the women, who formerly
composed the slaveholding caste, would this
day give half their houses and lands to have
their slaves back again, just as they possessed
THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES ROB
BED BY EMANCIPATION; and would
like their property back again, or its VALUE
IN SOME EQUIVALENT.
And what did he mean by saying
in the same letter, that Ihey"-the
PROPOSE TO RENEW THE FIGHT, bu
not with gun and saber. THEY EXPECT
To REGAIN d. AS DEMOCRATS
THROUGH ELECTIONS THE POWER
THEY LOST AS REBELS THROUGH
THE WAR.
And what did he mean when in
the same communication, speaking
Of the eolored vote, he stated that
THEY WILL SEEK TO GEORGE
ENOUGH OF 1T INTO VOTING THE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET to give them a
majority of the Southern electoral vote for
next President.
And what does the following ex-
tract from the speech ofGov. Brown,
of Tennessee, at a recent Greeley
ratification meeting at Nashville,
N can #ea Iatfl
He supported Greeley because he loved the
South, bailsd jeff Davis, advocated universe,
amnesty, and had no kinsfolk. He did not
care what Greeley had said in the past against
the South and its Institutions. II was enough
for him to know that now he was in favor of
restoring her TO her pristine rights. GREE
LEY IF ELECTED, WOULD PAY TIL +
LOSSES OF THE SOUTH. and set her PEG
pie on the high road TO wealth and happiness
And what are the tax payers of
the country to infer from this state
ment Of Golladay, a Democratic
Representative in Congress, made at
the same time and place? s
Greeley, at the outest Of the war, was IN
favor of letting the ''wayward sisters depart
in peace" and aiterward went single handed
and alone TO meet our commissioners in Cana
ca, to treat for peace. Not a Democrat IN
the North dared TO go with him, or manifest
any desire to go. HE WAS THEN IN
FAVOR OF PAYING THE SOUTH FOR
HER SLAVES, AND BELIEVE HE Is
STILL
These statements of the candidate
and his friends are respectfully rec.
ommended to tho consideration Of al
men who believe that their taxes are
already sufficiently hcavy, and who
propose that the results Of tie wa
shall stand as they are, untlnkereC
and unimpaired.

They seem to talk all right for Gree
ley, but they won't do much.
There's nothing hearty about it.
Why just see how it has beon with
these clubs. We can hold the first
one easy enough, no trouble to
come out and get started. but there
ti'e- chung hangs Ore; they won't go
on with it. Some of them don't even
get organized. Well, one thing is,
you see, we can't get no speakers
They won't come out unless we have

there won't anybody go to hear hin

these old enemies on the liquor ques

the Catholic question and all Other
issues, get check by jowI in our club
they're all ashamed of somebody else
and ten to one yon don't get them

HOW TO GO WEST.

This IS an inquiry which every one should
have truIhfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exami-
nation Of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The Burlington Route'' has achieved a
sPleadid reputation in the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route to the west.
Starting at Burlington it runs direct through
Southern Iowa TO Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the Terri
tories; and passengers starting from Lancas-
ter, on their way westward cannot do better
than to take the C. B. & @. and Burlington
Route.
This line has Published a pamphlet called
"How togo West" which contains much val
liable information; large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free Of
charge by addressing the General Passenger
Agent B. s. NJ. r. R., Burlington, Iowa.

r@-Not a single favorable re-
Spouse has come from the negroes to
Summers appeal, except feeble
pipe of approval from few of his
Washington neighbors. Greeley is
sure of only two black votes, the
ballots Of Buchanan's Jerry Black
and the Liberal candidate for Meu-
tenant Governor of Illinois, General
Black. Perhaps the Prohibitionist
candidate for the Presidency will
follow the lead of his Ramesvke Jer-
ry. The Greeley catalogue is a

RAILROAD MEETING AT PLATTE.
VILE Last Saturday meeting " as
held at Platteville and addressed by
NJ. Y. Johnson and Mr.. Barrett, di.
rectors of the GaleAa Narrow Gauge
Railroad. They stated that their
road was graded ten miles, to the
State line; that in ten days more they
would need to know tho decision of
Platteville, whether they were 10
keep on toward WingviIle, crossing
the Platteville road two aud bali
miles east Of town and building a dc
pot and village thereon TO turn west
ward to PIatteville; that if the peo-
pie would subscribe $50 600 TO ooyer
the extra cost, the road should be
laid and ears be running to their
doors by next Jan uary The large
meeting received the offer favorably.
and committee was chosen to raise
the money n H Virgin chairman,
headed the list by subscribing for
50 600 of stock 1t is hoped that in
ten days the $500 of stock will be
taken.
The wretched Il. r. facilities and
the advantage taken by the road that
has the monopC ly, would thus be
improved by competing road. The
Narrow Gauge will be a first-class
road, though costing in all only s18,-
600 per mile for the South end. 1t
has two engines already bought.
We also learn that if it reaches
Platteville it may be induced to ex-
tend to Lancaster. On this subject
we will dwell at future time.

EF Four years ago Charles Sum
ner made speech to his constitu-
ents, in which he said, in discussin Q
the Presidential question then pend
ing:
"The case is too plain for argu-
ment. 1t may be put more precise.
ly still. Shall the men who saved
the Republic continue to rule it, OF
shall it be handed over to the rebels
and their allies Such Is the simple
issue, stripped of all hypocritical
guise.'
What was true then is true now.
Nothing has occurred within the last
four years to change this phase of
politics. The Republican party has
not changed an iota. and all that can
be said in favor of the Democracy is
that they profess TO have accepted
Republicanism. We all know how
easy it is to make professions, and
how little there would be left of
death-bed repentances if they were
stripped of all hypocriticaI guise."

Grants Financial Policy.

The exp snses of the last fiscal year
of Buchanan's Administration was
at the rate of 81 SO to every inhabit.
ant of the country, while that OF
the fiscal year of Grants was 81 :
76. To Greeley no business man
could trust his fortunes, for be
advises the Government to resume
specie payments. and at the same
time sell the gold 10 the Treasury
The policy of Grant is tending stead
lily toward specie payment without
interrupting financial prosperity;
and the defalcations or deficiencies
under the internal revenue law,
about which such hue and cry has
been raised, have amounted to 81
700 900, instead of $20,0OO,00O, from
1860 to 1871, and of this amount
$780, 900 was under Lincoln's ad
