fundamental principles are the true
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of this Govern
ment. | have seen upon the battle
field thousands throw away their
lives in defense of these principles
The graves of the gallant Southern
dead who sleep on every hillside ia
the South, over whose graves the
hight winds sigh, are reminders e
me of the love for these principles
which still fingers in my heart. The

when we get M jari'y in Congress.
| object to Grant because be is a
Republican because he ia memb ar
of that party which waged success
fully the contest against my breth-
ern of the South, whose orators
kept the fires burning shat filled the
Federal ranks with soldiers | have
heard it said by some that the Demo-
cratic party shall have no part with
Mr.. Greeley in the conquest {; but |
feel that they will not be neglected

GREELEY THE STEPPING STONE TO THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF REBELS IN POWER.
From the speech of Colonel U. p Breskinridye at
the above named meeting.
"Our part of this bargain is to
give the Liberal Republicans our
votes, in order to enable them to
succeed in the undertaking. Their
part of the bargain is to restore to
power the now DISTINGUISHED sons OF
the South, to drive out of the temple
these vandals and thieves, and to
restore you, Democrats, to their po,
sitions. They are to give you, men
of the South, those places which the
men OF the dominant party now hold,
| don't care picayune for Horace
Greeley, or what be has said. He
represents the dawn of new era to
US; an era that will restore US to
power. Will that not be victory
enough for US? IL may be in the
words of a friend from Woodford,
Black burn, that Greeley is purgato-
ry, but Grant is hell
