shown by his changing his opinion for the

ed the words Of Samuel Bowles, editor of the
Springfield Republican, written but a short
time since, that gentleman now being an ardent
Importer OF Greeley. In regard to the class
OF men who now supported this candidate for
the Presidency, the speaker quoted SINGLE
from the Caucasian, Southern
Greeley sheet, headed with cut Of pistol
as follows:

THE VICE PRESIDENT.
But the Office Of Vice President is also Of
vast Importance. II is the second office in
the Government. The Vice President has
the casting vote in the Senate, and deter.
mines all great questions where that body is
equally divided. But, far more important
still, he is to succeed to the Presidency in
case 1t becomes vacant. His principles and
character are the safeguard of the Republic
against the hazards Of single life. In re-
gard to b. Gratz Brown, wo can perhaps do
no better than to refer to Mr. Bowles's dc.
scription Of his own candidate for the Vice
Presidency:
