WHO rs SOLD?

The Democratic journals supporting Mr..
Greeley occupy an embarrassing position
They say to their readers that they believe
Mr. Greeley is sincerely a Democrat, and
if elected, will act in harmony with a
Democratic Congress in advancing Demo-
cratic principles and policy. They find it
necessary to take this position in order to
reconcile their readers to the support of
such man as Greeley.
Occupying this position, the more re-
cruits like Sumner and Banks they get
the worse off they become. They might
have succeeded in allaying Democratic
fears that Greeley would not be overrun by
Schurz, Trumbull, Fenton, Upton, Ash
ley, and Tilton but to add farther to this
array of politicians without adding votes,
alarms them. Sumner, it is said, was
promised the State Department. Banks
is to have the first class Foreign Mission
which Grant would not give him. Just
what Schurz and the first batch of con-
verts are promised is not definitely known.
But, OF course, the more of the old aboli-
ton leaders who go over, the less chance
is there for Democratic Office seekers. This
is one of the embarrassing features for
Democratic editors.
But yet there is another. When Sumner
came out for Greeley he was compelled to
make him out as much of Radical and as
much devoted to his (Sumner's) equal
SAASChASS <-o POootuiCs I1io lCllSI 10 par
ticularly strong on this point, and we no.
tice many of the Democratic organs, in
publishing it, omit such passages. The
Nashville Union and american publishes
parts of the letter, eSclu Il tlo', parts
that would excite the alarm of Democrats
already half sick over their "crow.n
One of the sentences of Summers letter
thus omitted, is this, at am SO much of a
Republican that wish to see in the Presi-
Dental chair life long abolition iSt.n
The same paper omitted Summers decla-
ration, that nobody who votes for Hor-
" ace Greeley will go to the Democrats,
=" nor do | believe that when elected Hor-
" ace Greeley will be under any influence
except that enlightened conscience which
will keep him over true to the principles
ne represents"
1t also excludes Summers arrAignment
of Grant for alleged insult TO the black
republic of Liberia. Many other para
graphs praising Greeley for his devotion
to equal rights,n and predicting that if
elected he would not be led by the Democ-
racy, were left out.
1t will be seen from this that not only
are the Democrats uneasy over the aboli-
ton recruits going over to Greeley, but
they are unwilling to let their readers see
how confidently these leaders claim Gree
ley as true to his lifelong convictions.
Evidently somebody Is being badly soli.
Who IS 1t, Sumner or JEFF. Davis? Is ii
Frank Blair or Samuel Bowles is it the
Southern Democracy or the abolition re-
crults ?"
