Daily national Republican. (Washington City [D.C.]) 1870-1872, 1872-09-27

The Western harangues Of Mr.. Greeley
form the text Of an exceedingly cogent ar
tlcle 10 the New York EOening Post Of
Wednesday. In It the editor takes the ground
that according y Mr.. Greeley aud hls per
sonal organ in New York, the question Of
administrative reform" which was the great
question IN the beginning Of the canvass, has
ceased to be an issue In the campaign, and
that the principal point now Is ''the resto-
ration Of come state Of amicable feeling, which
Is assumed not to exist"
The Post then proceeds TO ask what this
talk Of reconciliation means :" Looking
around the circle Of the States II finds that
every portion of the Union Is represented In
Congress; that the work Of saving the Unlnn
IA complete; that with the exception Of few
hundred every citizen Is eligible To- Office;
that no fewer than twenty-five mon who borU
arms against the United States arc now mem
bUrs Of the United States COBgrCss, yotiug'
printing their speeches in the Congrc sslonl |
Globc, drawing their mileage aud their allow.

runs along without let W hindrunCC; that 50
far us can be discovered at the North, no tine
desires Ia return IN the chaos, the confusion
and tho blOOd.lcttlng from which We were
delivered few years ago. AL parties ac-
qulcsco In the emancipation Of the blacksi
the yictOrs have made their demands, N
order to obtain security for the future, and
they have been granted, every one Of them.
Concedlng all these things to be acC emphasized
facts, which nobody wants TO disturb or over
turn, the Post demands to know why we arc
told that an entire revolution Is necessary to
set things right" Mr.. Greeley and his friends
declare that General Grant must be deposed
ana the Republican party driven from power,
"dnd Mr.. Greeley, who sustained General
Grant and that party up to within recent
period, must be chosen President In order
that he, backed by party that has through
out opposed these bcnC1ccnt changes, may
get iutO Office. The bitterness, strife, cnmlty,
injustice and prescription, which exits only,
II they exist at all, as al individual sentiment,
will continue to flourish, unless that partlcu-
lar man, with his particular followers, are
allowed to take the ruins and drive In their
own fashion. We must surrender the finan-
cial interests Of the nation, vast and vital a.
they arc; we must surrender lts foreign rela,
tions, In which often the question OF peace
and war hangs by q thread upon the pru.
deuCe, discretion and wisdom Of the person
charged with their management; we must
surrender our whole domestic legislation, on
which momcntous consequences not uufre.

In violent resistance to the very being Of IN,

The Post goes on to say:
