MR.. VOORHEES, ON rnE sruMp
He Makes Another Speech Aoalnst
Greeley:

Senator Noofhees has been addressing j,
constituency at "Ieria lIailt.' and has taken
higher grdand Al da more detern,ined stand
against The Nomination of MI Greeley Ill, +
speech Is 10" lengthy ier columns. but We !
give what he has to say with reference to Mr
Greeley AID the SorlI:
But it is said that Mr. Greeley's election will /
bring relief To the South. On what is lhi. claim |
based Has 1t any rational foundation? Can
guad come ont OF eyil. Can awise and benif- |
cal administration HrIng from dangerous and
unconstitutional plnci pies honea%ly entertained?
| so, why should a man ever be chosen to office
with reference to his principles? Can the South
trust the man who preached the right of seces-
sion and then desired the slaughter of those
whom he had helped to mi-lead into its prac
/ tice =? Aside from ,he1nestion of his integrity,
is the judgment of such a man safe? What
guarantee has the South or any other portion of
| the country against similar caprcious freaks
| hereafter? Eut how does lie stand on the issues
| that virtually affect the South at this time? He
| urged ;!te enactment Of the ku kiux law, bv
which the IAIEAs CoRPCs has been suspended
and the people Of the south, on any negros
~er,t, te laid in prison or driven into exile
He has just written letter of acceptance, in
which he takes the pains to define his position.
Does he say that this horrible law ought to ne
repea ed' Does he say he will oppose such
egisal ion in the future? Nothing Vi this l.
found in his letter Ii The South to-day is ol.
pressed aii cursed IN all her interests who j.
more responsible for it than Mr.. Greeley? He
advocated all the worst phases OF military recon-
-trlction, and when Andrew johnson attempted
To shield The people of the South from further
disaster Mr.. Greeley demanded hi- mpeach-
ment with ferocity disgraceful to human ma
mre, and when Mr.. Johnson was acquitted he
Greeley charged every one of the Republican
senator's who voted for aepliitaI with corrupt
: and dishonest motives, and some of them with
havln, received bribes in money.
Can the South trust such a nature this
Can the American people he induced to max,
such mar President? Can the Democratic
party nominate and vote for him and still com
niand the respect ofthe world? But it is urge,
thai MIR. Greeley is in favor of universal amnes
! ~, and, therefore, the. South should supper
+ him. Is it not ,s,ssibieto select for c,nd
a date q far better man in every other respee
n than Mr.. Greley, who is also for amnesty?
- we'll known,that many distinguished leadin
: Democratsshave always heen opp osed 10 all p
;. lilical disabilities growing out of The war; bt
y there is not nich left OF tha; question now.
= Time and Congress have aninested nearl
e evervi.,dy and il is question over which, th
I'll President has no control The relief must |
dl ytven hy Congress. But Mr.. Greeley ha4 nevt
'ei even ber,, for unconditional smne-,, he hi
d! alway- coupled il with an oaion- and injurio,
,,e condition.

frage, ntgro Legislatures, negro members
Congress and senator4negro Judges and neg
Governors, and the consequent ruin and degr
lation OF many OF ltss Southern States, has be,
nj the price demanded fshnl the southern peoI
g by MIR Greeley for their own liberation and !.
Reimbursement. South Carolina is to-day ban
m' rupled by her negro legislature assisted by 81
NJ worse white men. iIea insane sylum cannot

o4 in her woods and along her highways. The
.O0 sponsbity aud Intelligence Of South Carroll
rs had to surrender the state TO such control
sS that before this new candidate for The Preside
IRE cy would advocate their own right to vote a
hold office. This, indeed, j small margin
cn which the support OF the Southern people
va behalf OF the man whs,. more than all others

81 ruin, woe and death upon them. 1t was wis
in said on mem rane occasion in reference
