and reprobate. l have been for his

2 NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 29.-Andrew
J. Kellar, editor of the Memphis Ava
lanche, who arrived here to-day, states
that Jefferson Davis has written letter
to Wade Hampton declaring for Horace
Greeley.
The Kennebeck Journal says "there
is no Greeley stock in Maine worth men,
tioning, outside Of the Democratic party.
The Tribune is being repudiated in all
quarters. The packages coming into
the State by mail have shrunk greatly
in proportions since Greeley was nomi-
nated.'
The Ohio State Journal reports that
an Ohio gentleman recently interviewed
Mr.. Greeley in New York on the SUBJ
ject of the Presidency. Mr.. Greeley
said: Il don't expect anything from
Ohio, Pennsylvania or Indiana; but |
shall carry every Southern State. And
| shall be elected
Says the Chicago Times (straight-out
Democrat j "A[r. Greeley has utterly
failed to unite the opposition to Grant
he has succeeded only in rendering the
disunity more pronounced and irrecon-
cilable. AS a Presidential candidate
for the opposition he is already politi-
cally dead His election is among the
things that are impossible"
This is too bad, we don't believe it
Here is letter that some unprincipled
people say Mr.. Greeley wrote: Il un
derstand you sell large quantities Of
bolts and nuts, and that the latter are
of superior quality. If you will sen6
me bushel or two of your best nuts il
time for spring planting. will, BY
return mail, tell you what L know abou
bolts, which is good deal.
Very truly, H. G."
We have the authority of the Hon
Daniel Voorhees, of Indiana, who ough
to know as we'll as any man whereof h,
speaks, being lifelong dyed-in-the
wool Bourbon, that even '.if Mr. Creole,
should be nominated at Baltimore, ant
every Democrat of distinction, whethe
in public or private life, from one oceal
to the other, should support him, h
would not receive an average of NOR
than fifty per cent of the Democrati
votes of the United States"
Horace Greeley, in accepting the Gin
cinnati Presidential nomination, forget
the truthful statement he made in 1856;
regarding General Grant, as follows:
1--WE are led by him who first laugh
our armies to conquer in the West, an,
I subsequently in the East, also. Rich
S mond would not come to us until W
E sent Grant after it. He has never ye
been defeated and never aoiN be. HI
, will be as great and successful on tn
field of politics as on the field of arms.
, What was true in 1868 is true now
:. as old White Coat will find out to hi
sorrow in November. Grant ''has neve
yet been defeated. and never soiN be.
Mark thine own prophecy, oh, Horace
