greeley, the father OF AbOlitionism en-
dorsed by the secesh 6re.eaters T! TImEs
GRANGE! How the Democrats party in
their iguominious defeat are sultifyi ng
themselves, and proving recreant to po-
litieal doctrines which they pretended to
call principles How can Southern
men vote for Greeley7 How can Demo
Gratis support hiinY How eau States
rights men endorse him?
How will his election benefit them 2
How benefit their dead dogmas? How
vindicate their prin,iples His cleo
tiou stultifies them and buries in an OBJ
scurcr grave their departed ideas.
Do they imagine, in political contem-
plation the return of States rights
Do they hope for speciesof rccog
uition Of slavery, as "divine right, in
the payment for the slaves by the Greeley
administration Let them remember
that Greeley in prophetic patriotism,
first saw the cloud, not larger than
mans hand, of that storm of destruc-
tion amid the last retreating echoes Of
whose thunders Grant stood the Nations
champion and saviour! Greeley hates
slavery and secession, and Ku-klux and
aristocracy, and other such Southern
rights as he hates perdtiou.
What DO these Daud!in maIeousents
promise themselves in his election, whose
hand aud voice, aud lifc has been against
them and their principles.
Like whipped and defeated boys they
whiningly want any change.
"Any thing but Grant," is their cry
to-day, who tomorrow will say perhaps
with better and bitterer reason "Any
thig but Greeley" God knows that
would sound more natural as Southern
wall.
But even if Greeley would do the
opponents ofthe Union, or the Ku klux,
or the aristocrats any good, he will not
be able.
His endorsement By the Democratic
Convention has killed, whatever hopes
may have existed of his splitting Grants
vote.
Reluctantly the Democrats will vote
for him, and they are all who will En-
Enthusiastically, unanimously, the party
who has regularly nominated him, az
sion, with representative candidate of
their own, will vote for and elect Grant !,
Grants war record is refreshed by
this effort of his defeated opponents
His laurcls are revivifcd, the sheen of
his proud military glories, is brightoncd
aud FURNISHED with new pnd brighter
glow.
Greeley by his effort to split the party
of his LIES labors, but furnishes his own
record and goes to his grave, with dis
honoyed life.
Grant VIII be ssorTously elected
In the State and local elections the
grand featErc of tbe contest is the same
The Republican party holds the field.
Heaven grant that its best mon may be
promoted TO the head of affairs.
While spirit of nagnaamous gene
rosity will beft and become its course
just now, in the selection Of its capdi.
natcs; stiH the party must be watchtul
and vlgilant and true to the great ideas
IL has gierihed aud made sternal facts
for the welfare, and wcfl-being Of mau.
The cause of liberty on its grand scale
must be progressed and forwarded. The
cause of good government, wise legisla-
tisn; hrm anu conscientious executive
Administration, and the great cause of
education must be advanced Men
must be selected WHO will prosper these
great aims by their elevation to- Office.
Now, in the calm of its security, when
no successful opposition is to be feared
the Repnblisaa party can and should
look TO ITS own great interests.
