HORACE GREELEY ON SECESSION
Extract from his Speech in Cincinnati, Friday
Evening, September Doth, 1879.

Extract from his Speech in Cincinnati, Friday
Evening, September goth, 1879.
As the Grant papers and speakers are
persissently and maliciously misrepresenring
Mr.. Greeley's views on secession, we propose
to keep the following extract from his
speech before the people until after election.
Mr.. Greeley said:
Last evening, at Pittsburgh, in the
course of some off-hand remarks to q
mass Assemblage like this, l took the pains
to explain the circumstances, the extra
ordinary, unprecedented circumstances IN
der which / was impelled in the winter of
1860 and 1861 to offer, in good faith. to
submit the whole question of union or dis
union to the fair, unconstrained vote of the
Southern people. After due elaboration
and discussion, | said then, that it was my
belief, and it is still my belief, that had the
people been allowed such free and fair
opportunity, they would have decided that
the Union should be maintained. Those
remarks, which / made last evening, have
been misreprssented; have been, | think,
perverted into an expression of present be-
lief and present conviction that any State
has a right to dissolve this Union at it's own
good pleasure. Fellow-citizeDs, l utterly
repudiate and condemn that sentiment.
Cheers do not believe that any State,
or any ten States, even a majority of the
States, has right to dissolve our Union.
Applause. That Union was founded on
the Constitution. It is chartered Govern
ment, not mere league 1t does not con
stitute Confederacy merely, bat a Nation
not a Government OF limited aud defined
powers, but of unlimited duration. | be-
lieve that the Union is not only destined to
be, and was intended to be, perpetual, but
believe that our great civil war, if there ever
was any reasonable doubt as to the nature
of that Union, has settled that doubt for
ever Renewed applause.

We again present to the agricultural commu-

CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE SHIP CANAL.
The Smyrna (Del) Times Of Wednesday says:
''Three gentlemen are now making reconnois-
sance Of the peninsula to fix upon route or
routes to be surveyed for the proposed ship
canal. Mr.. Tibbitts was interested in the
scheme of twenty years ago, when it was pro-
posed to connect Chester or Sassafras rivers
with Smyrna creek or Mahon' with a canal of
this character. We learn that the party esti
mate the cost at from $3 0O0, 900 to 81 ,00O,-
900, which sum will be procured in Germany
on loan, which Mr.. Tibbitts proposes to nego-
tiate at no distant day. The company interest
ed in the Baltimore aud Bremen steamship
line composed of capitalists 10 this country
aud Germany, is the handspring in the enter
prise. The heaviest stockholder In this steam
ship line is said to be the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, headed by John W. Gar
rett who is anxiouSly pushing the enterprise
to compete with the Philadelphia steamship
line to Europe. which is to be established
shortly by Mr. Scott, of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company. Mr.. Garrett it is understood,
is leaving no stone unturned to further the
canal scheme, as that is the surest means to
give him the inside track in these rival lines of
ocean steamships. By the construction of this
canal days journey will be gained that would
be otherwise required in going around the
capes. The saving Of this day places Baltimore
as near or nearer the ports Of Europe as Phia-
dephia is, while the rough seas at the capes
are. avoided in the passage out.
