WHAT DO THESE THINGS MeANa

What did Horace Greeley mean,
in his letter from Memphis to the
New York Tribune of June Sth, last
year, written on the Sd of that
month, when he said:
al am confident that two-thirds
of the men, with nine-tenths of the
women, who formerly composed the
slaveholding caste, would this day
give half their houses and lands to
have their slaves back again, just as
they possessed them in 1860.
THEY CONSIDER
THEMSELVES ROBBED BY
EMANCIPATION; and would like
their property back again, or its
VALUE IN SOME EQUIVA-
LENT"
And what did he mean by saying,
in the same letter, that ''they-the
rebels
PROPOSE TO RENEW THE
FIGHT but not with gun and saber.
THEY EXPECT TO REGAIN AS
DEMOCRATS, THROUGH ELEC-
TIONS, THE POWER THEY LOST
AS REBELS THROUGH WAR"
And what did he mean when, in
the same communication, speaking
of the colored vote, he stated that
"THEY WILL SEEK TO
COERCE ENOUGH OF IT INTO
VOTING THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET to give them majority
of the Southern electoral vote for
next President"
And what does the following ex-
tract from the speech of Gov. Brown
of Tennessee, at a recent Greeley
ratification meeting at Nashville,
mean?
"He supported Greeley because
he loved the South, bailed JEFF. Da
Wis, advocated universal amnesty,
and had no kinsfolk. He did not
care what Greeley had said in the
past against the South and its insti-
tutions. 1t was enough for him to
know that now he was in favor OF
restoring her to her prestine rights.
Greeley, If elected, acould pay the
losses Of the South, and set her peo-
Pile on the high road to wealth and
happiness"
And what are the tax payers OF
the country to infer from this state
ment Of Golladay, a Democratic
representative in Congress, made at
the same time and place?
Greeley at the outset of the war
was in favor of letting the "wayward
sisters depart in peace" and after
ward went singlehanded and alone
to meet our Commissioners In Can
ada, to treat for peace. Not Dem.
ocrat in the North dared go with
him, or manifest any desire to GO
He ,cas then in favor Of paying The
South for her slaUes and I belieUt
he is STILL" e...
These statements of the candi
date and his friends are respectfully
recommended to the consideration
of all men who believe that theil
taxes are already sufficiently heavy
and who propose that the results O
the war shall stand as they are un
tinkered and unimpaired.

THE BEST PROOF OF HONESTY AND
ECONOMY.

Facts are stubborn arguments. A
thousand assertions cannot change
them. When we demand proof of
the truthfulness of the charges rails
ed against the Administration, the
reply is a repitition of the charges.
When we present facts to prove
these charges false, our opponents
are silent. Truth is all-powerful,
and falsehoods cover in its pres
ence. We present few more facts
for the popular mind. Let our
friends cut them out, and ask the
the first Liberal advocate who
ventures on the worn-out charge of
corruption to explain the nature of
the corruption he complains Of 1t
may do the Greeley cause good to
prove its charge out of the official
facts. We have taken the five lead
ing articles from which revenue is
derived, the same increase of re-
ceipts being noticeable on the minor
articles. '- I'D
The period Of comparison is from
March l, 1866, to February 2S, 1869

from March l, 1859, to February 29,

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CON-
3 lsallssl.llai VENTiON

The National Democratic Con-
yention which is to convene at Lou
isville in September will be an i'm
posing affair. All the States it is
promised will be represented. Hon
Charles O'Connor, the acknowledged
leader of the American bar has sig
nified his willingness to accept the
nomination of that body for the
Presidency, in which event there
will be a split in, the Democracy
throughout the country, and a muci
more serious one than the Greeley
ties are willing to admit.

WILL THEY DO iT3

1t seems to us that the people
have more pride about them and re
gard for their good name in the
ewes of other nations, than to elect
a man to the highest Office in the
gift of the people, who had bailed
the traitor who had endeayored to
draw the life-blood of the nation.
Americans are not going to be gull
ty of such an act. Horace Greeley
can never be President of the United
States. His chances are growing
fewer and fewer every day.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1872-08-29

Greeley's fayorite word of con-
tempt for the Democracy used to be
-s.rum guzzlers." What does he
think of having one associated with
him on the Democratic ticket.

ANOTHER ITEM FOR REFoRmERs

Corruption never lessons the bur-
dens of people; it always increas-
es them. In every branch of the
Government, where honesty and
economy could effect reduction Of
expenses, reduction has taken
place. We call attention to the Gus
toms revenue branch, our leading
source of revenue. We give the of
fetal report of one year under Bu-
chanan, one under Johnson, and
two under Grant. 1t will be seen
that the percentage of cost is much
less under General Grants admins
tration than under the others
named:
Fiscal Amount Cost of Percentage
years. collected. collection. Of cost to
1850. .$5s, ,1s75 51l.s7 ss,s24. .4sO.5s s. .

1871. 200, ,270, ,40s.05 6,s6a,67s.6l IL
The fact is it has cost less to col
lect the revenue under the present
Administration since the days OF
Jackson. We want no better proof
of official integrity. When our
"Liberar' friends offer some sub
stantial reasons why the Admins
tration should be changed the peo-
pie may listen to them. But the cry
of corruption" without showing
in what it consists, is as ideal as the
wind. Our party presents facts;
our opponents deal in assertions.
Their whole stock in trade consists
of exploded charges. Horace Gree
ley knows that official honesty has
been the rule, not the exception, IN
our party. He SO expressed himself
as. late as September, 1871. Now
that he has sold himself to the Dem
ocrats, he has fallen into their habit
of crying, 'Stop thief!' in order t.
blind the public to the real THE
that is flying from justice.

Allegheny Cattle Market
PITTsBURGH,Au "a, 1872.

The supply of cattle was again comparative
ly light to-day, footing up about 6s4 head. The
market opened up fairly active to-day, and
nearly if not all the good cattle were picked
up carly in the day, and that too, at full prices
i'm some instances, at better prices than those
of last week-but the common grades were
slow at the opening and continued to drag all
the way through. Selling at Z tos cents. Prime
to extra butchers stock sold at from 6Is to Z,
and common at 50 to 50. As compared with
last week, there was little or no difference in
prices.

twenty-nine months out of thirty
six months, of Mr.. Johnson's ad-
ministration the tax on distilled
spirits was 50 per gallon. Under
Grant it has been but so cents per
gallon. Yet with this great reduc-
ton, which ought to have reduced
the income three-fourths, we actu-
ally increased it nearly $60, coo, 900.
All the other items Of revenue show
the same increase, and are indispu-
table arguments in favor of the
honesty and economy of the pres
ent- Administration. Grant has
broken up the corrupt whisky and
tobacco rings that were robbing the
Government of its revenue under
Andy johnson. He put honest men
in Office, and honest results have
followed. If any officer has failed
in his honesty he has been prompt
ly removed and punished. Official
rascality finds no place under Gen
eral Grant. Whenever discovered
the remedy is sure to be applied
Rascals have been found, have been
dismissed from Office, and without
exception, those that have been al
lowed to live outside Of the peniten-
tiary are with the Greeley move
ment to-day, shouting for reform
and an honest administration of af
fairs. The reform they want is res
toration to power under Demo
cratic administration, with liberty
to plunder the nation as Tweed d
Co. have plundered the city of New
York.
