Explanation with a Vengeance.

The old time Horace Greeley IS the foe Of
the Democratic party was q most vigorous
epithetist as is well known. His 'You lie,
sir, you lie'' was known Throughout the coun-
try. Then he had little occasion to make ex-
plantations because his position on public
questions were plainly avowed. But since
he has become Democrat and the candidate
of that party he has found it necessary to
make explanations which show that he is
too old to become skillful apologist even for
himself
The heresies of the Pittsburg speech have
called forth such vigorous protests that he
felt it necessary to explain. He said at Pitts
burg:
I demanded that there should be fair open,
free discussion before the Southern people, and
an honest, unterrified, unconstraned vote and
if they approved-if the people of the South
said they wanted disunion, I would consent to
it. And now to-day if the nation
was to be imperilled land there were lust two
modes of saving it, to trust to the chances of
civil war or to the chances of free vote of
the Southern people, would very greatly pre-
fer to take the latter chance rather than the
former.
His explanation at Cincinnati was in effect
adenial that he had made any statements
like the above. But not content, with this
explanation, he ATTEMPTED another at Warren,
Pennsylvania, on Thursday, and if this sec
ond effort is not as pointed as the first, it is
at least more self-contradictory and comical.
Just look at these words =
AT Pittsburg, a week ago. explained this
matter, but my words were perverted by my
mt Y IN
tdoor Of taking 0ote to see Dhether the Southern
states soouLd go out of the Union or not. neyer
mad any such thought. They wanted to bully
us into giving up the Territories to slavery
l proposed another course "Let there be q
fair, full discussion before the Southern people
of the advantages and disadvantages of the
Union, and that discussion being had, they
shat take a solemn Uote. If they consent to 90
oft Of the Union, 1 acM make no further object ion
let them 60"
This is good. At Cincinnati Mr.. Greeley
contradicted what he had said the day previ-
Gus at Pittsburg. Here, at Warren, he makes
one sentence contradict the one Immediately
preceding in the same speech. Says this
great and good man: "My adversaries make
me say that 1 was in favor of taking a vote to
see whether the Southern States would 90
out of the Union. They are liars; yes, sir,
ID liars! 1 never had such thought
proposed that they should take a solemn
vote! If they voted to 60 out would make
no further objection, let them go!p'
Strange such difference there should be
Twixt tweedledum and tweedledee."
Mr. Greeley would aid his friend Davis a
great deal more effectually if he would but
forego his anxiety to declare himself seces-
sionist, As this avowal is not necessary to win
votes from the late rebels, as they well under
stand his position, and he is losing such De-
mocrats as do not endorse his secession theo-
ries by his repeated svowals and very lame ex-
plantations.

the followers of Rhoderick Dhu sprang
from the heather and bracken when they
heard their learder's cry. Mr.. Greeley is
4 popular man, partly because he has been
assiduously advertised by the association
which prints his newspaper, and partly be-
cause lie has hale, lusty, generous SYM
pathy with the people in all of their strug
giles and aspirations. He would develop
elements of political strength that none of
his party possesses, and, perhaps, on the
other hand, elements of antagonism that
would be silent before tepid, Indifferent
statesmen like Trumbull and Cox. He is
Il temperance man, which would not please
the Germans. He would hang nobody,
very much just now. He is a protectionist,
which would ALLEVIATE the importing, free
trade interests. He bailed Jefferson Davis,
which reduced every member of the stern
old radical Republican party, over fifty
years of age, into a state of implacable
wrath.
AS it is, even with Sumner or Greeley or
any one, we take Grant against the field.
He has done well, and has been in every
respect good and faithful servant. The
Republican politicians cannot defeat his
nomination by any "one-term " intrigue,
and the American people are too gener-
GUS to permit him to be sacrificed to the
ambition and animosity of rebels, Demo-
Gratis and disappointed Republican office
seekers.-NeD York Herald.

Laudreths' Rural Register.-There

has attained popularity unprecedented,
I'VE believe, in this country. Works which
reach circulation of ton or twenty thou
sand are ranked as successful, and emphat-
ically so if they double. that number. But
here we have pamphlet, truly practical,
indeed, Of which five hundred thousand
copies OF the editions of 1871 were distrib-
utsd. What those of the present year may
reach We can only conjecture. And it is
not alone in English the little messenger
reaches the public eye; translations in Ger
man and in Swedish are also demanded by
that portion Of our rural population not
yet domssticated among us long enough to
speak the language of their adopted coun-
try.
