after change. the results of which no one
can anticipate.
If then the South wants reform and good
feeling it win find it speedier from Grants
reelection than from the success of a coali-
ton that in its greed for place and power and
in the discordant elements composing it
would certainly embroil the country in Bit
ter strife and the uncertainty off battle of
factions. Grant has had violence to battle
against and arbitrary laws to enforce that
were enacted by Greeley and Sumner as
much as by Morton and Wilson, but if he
is now left 70 administer the government
in the order and prosperity he has won
forit, we are confident he will do it more
wisely and beneficently than Greeley and
his dangerous coalition.

LOVE PATS FROM GREELEY.
What the st0ld AbolitiOnistn Thinks Of
HIS New Southern Worshippers.

Southern people have for generations
boosted of their chiyalry, superior civiliza-
ton and ancestral pride. They have made
themselves the laughing stock Of the
world and the subject of ridicule from their
own few true sons who spurn the shame
less strade, by now humbly kneeling
to Horace Greeley, who said of them, their
sons and their daughters these words:
Point achereoer you please to an election

rotten, giUen mp in great part to de6auch
cry and Uice, aOItoSe Uoters satbsist mainly by

every election giving a majority for that
s0hich styles itself the DEMOCRATIC par
ty. Take all the haunts Of de6auchery in
the land, and goa aviU find ni,ae-tereths of
their nadSter-spirits actiUe partiSans of that
same Democracy. What is the instinct, the
sympathetic cord, sohich attaches them so
uniformly to this partye WIZ you con-
slider ?-HoRACE GREELEY.
OF the secessionists he said:
I" But nevertheless we mean to conquer them
not merely to defeat, but to conquer, to SUR
JUGATE them-and we shall do this the most
mercifully the more speedily we do it. BUT
WHEN THE REBELLIOUS TRAITORS
ARE OVERWHELMED IN THE FIELD,
AND SCATTERED LIKE LEAVES BE-
FORE ANANGRY WIND, IT MUST NOT
BE TO RETURN TO PEACEFUL AND
COMMENTED HOMES. THEY MUST
FIND POVERTY AT THEIR FIRESIDES,
AND SEE PRIVATION IN THE ANX-
IOUS EYES OF MOTHERS AND THE
RAGS OF Editorial article
headed No Hall Measure" Tribune. May.1,
1861, p. a, col. a.
This was not the only occasion on which
GREELEY expressed the same ideas. Read
the following:
I'VE hold traitors responsible for the work
upon which they have precipitsted us, and we
warn them that they must abide the full penal
ty. 8 The rebels of that State (Virginia)
and Maryland may not fatter themselves that
they can enter upon war against the Govern
ment and 0tter,card return to quiet and peaceful
homes. They choose to play the part of traitors,
and they must suffer the penalty. THE avorn-
out race of enaaseutated first families must gire
place to sturdier people, arhose pioneers
on their acdy to Washington, at this moment, IN
regiments. An allotment of land in Virginia
would be fitting reward to the brave fellows
who have gone to fight their country's battles"

THE suREsr ROAD TO REFORM AND PEACE

If the people of the country could believe
that either on the part fMr. Greeley or on
the part of the Democracy there was any
sincere desire for reform in the Government
or for an era of better feeling in the land,
they would regard with more patience and
with less apprehension of danger the pres
ent anomalous condition of political Of
fcers.
But when sensible men see that the So
called campaign of reform is led by disap-
pointed politicians and convicted corrup-
tionists they can have little confidence in
that direction. When it is openly and
repeatedly charged in New York city
under the Tri6une's nose that the present
coalition between Greeley and Democracy
is the result of distinct and detailed bar
gaining and sale between GreeIey's imme-
diate friends and Horatio Seymour, and
this charge is not denied, men have little
respect for the cry of reform.
As for the era of better feelings" the
clasped hand across the bloody chasm'-
the people of this country would rather
sistent administration at Washington,
such as Grant will give, and has given,
than from a weak and timid administra-
ton, such as Mr.. Greeley and his motley
associates would be sure to give.
Those who do not know Horace Greeley
as weak, vacillating man do not remem-
Der his remarkable record during the last
war. Those who do not know him to be
a man easily duped and misled, can not be
familiar with his relations to the Tamma-
ny ring of New York. Those relations
prove him either a corrupt and treacher-
GUS man or one easily deceived and misled
by knaves. We prefer to consider him "a
the latter, and when we see these vultures
and scoundrels, from Tweed, Hall and
Hoffman to the common black-lees and
pugilists of the Bowery-now for Greeley
to man, betting their stolen treasures on
his election-we fear his advent in the
White House would be an evil day to this
people. Of a'timid heart and yacileating
disposition, surrounded by the designing
politicians that now control him, we would
have such disorders and violence in disaf-
fected sections of the South as would re-
new again the worst passions of the war
The Kuklux have been dispersed; arbi-
trary laws have passed from the statute
books, and the era of good feeling is far
more likely to come under Grant than

The evils of the law of entail and primo
geniture in England are sometimes illus
trated to the London public in forcible
and disastrous way. Some of the Weather
Lords of the realm own whole streets and
squares in the heart of London, from
which they can, j. the within strikes them,
shut off all trade. These evils are not
imaginary, for by the law referred to, all
these immense landed interests and rev.
enues are liable by the accident of birth to
fall into the hands of foolish and crotchety
heirs. Thus the eighth Duke of Bedford
recently deceased in London was a man of
feeble intellect and misery disposition,
and though entitled to seat in the great
House of Lords disregarded the interests of
the people and spent his time in levying
upou the property of his tenants for hisex-
tortionate rents, and closing temporarily
whole squares from business.
The Duke of Bedford owns square after
square of the most valuable property in
London. Tavistock, Bedford, Torrington
and Euston squares, and Southampton
Row, Covent Garden Theatre and Charing
Cross are parts of his immense possessions.
Besides such landholders our Astors and
Stewards are small fry.

OK July I'd the Cincinnati Commercial
said: ITO make Greeley the Democratic
nominee would be an act of political stulti-
fication SO extraordinary as to be giganti-
cally grotesque." But Halstead wants to
be advertised for his eccentricities, so he
still continues "friendly" to Greeley.
