lation with its tide, sweeping away the
prosperity Of the people with all their
lIbsrtiss, and sugulpng the rights Of the
states in its destructive torrent.
How are We 10 get the better Of this
stream Of rehabilitation Why, my dear
cir, We must either dry Il up now with the
sun Of 0rssleyism-turn II into safe
channel BY . barrier Of Greeleyism--con-
troll IL BY the power of Greeleyism, or al.
low IL to run on In its present dangerous
course until IL has destroyed the republic,
or We have found q political Moses who
can command IL waters to divide, Sc
that the ark Of the constitution may be
carried safely through i. 10 the Land OF
Promise away over yonder on the other
side.
Do b quiet You needn't tell us that
Greeley has been one Of the centralizers
in the past Do you think We are stupid
We know be has been, and we have con-
sequently denounced him on occasions
o. an old political wretch. But don't
you recollect that Saul went out Of Jeru-
salem to persecute the Christians, and on
the road to Damascus became con-
verted to their faith and thereafter had the
privilege Of enjoying persecution himself
Greeley WAS the Saul Of Rsdicalism, but
his road towards Damascus ran through the
South, and while he was pursuing it with
evil thoughts in his good old heart the
great light Of Liberalism shown out upon
him, and the voice of Patriotism, the good
genius Of Democracy, fell upon his ear
saying: Horace, Horace, why persecutest
thou me'" And down went Saul Greeley,
: the prosecutor of the faithful, on his face !
Amer awhile he rose up again. The scales
: dropped from his eyes and he became our
, Paul, the leader Of the faithful, the de.
! nouncer OF Capitalization of power, the
advocate Of local self.government, Of re.
form and true Democracy, ofall the tenets
of our faith except in the one little matter
Of the tariff, which, like the doctrine of
election, among the soldiers of the
cross, the followers Of the Lamb,
is yet matter Of dispute fol.
lowers of b. G., the opponents Of Grant
lem. Why, my dear Bourbon, Greeley's
! Letter Of Acceptance is as eloquent as q
chapter from the converted Saurs Epistle
to the Romans, and his speeches through
{ the West are indeed, and in truth, grand
. Epistle TO the Americans, as sound as the
Epistle TO the Hebrews-are the platform Of
all true men who detest the centralizing
tendencies Of Radicalism and its other
' manifold errors.
What became OF. Paul2 Wasn't he
martyred BY the people be desired to love
And Greeley, the Apostle of Liberalism,
may be martyred by you Bourbons who
worship the divinit, at whose altar Re
now ministers. Because he was once q
sinner, you now stone him. If be is
. martyred at all you will be his execu-
j; TONERS. Your reward will be heard in
IS the shouts Of the enemies of your faith
II in the rejoicing cries Of Radicalism. II
u you can ind consolation in that fact, &c
i TO bed with it. my dear sir, and may the Old
q Boy Ay away with you.
i No matter. The blood Of the martyrs
= 10 the seed Of the church, and even If Gree.
o ley should be sacrificed 10 Radicalism BY
u Bourbonism, out Of the seed Of that sac.
/, riace will spring the stalwsrt tree of Sue
u csssful Liberalism, in the shade Of which
Q the republic will securely rest In tina,
? time, while enjoying the protection Of the
: government saved by common sense you
d will wonder why your neck was so stiff,
;, your reason so dull, your patriotism SC
70 torpid, that in 1872, encouraged by the
}. money changers who occupied the Temple
II and denied the political Christ, you stoned
d the Apostles Of Reform and stood in pub.
10 lie places with the debsuched followers OF
Grant, that motley crew of much bad
d brought into great distinctness by being
n mixed in contrast with little good.
"a Go TO, you are no such man Accep
