OF Mr. Greeley; "For his future there is
every reason to believe that his admins

could be asked for by the democrats.
Democrats ''ask" for three things: 1.
That the thirteenth, fourteenth and iii.

fed; ,. That the south shall be REIN.
bursed for the emancipated slaves; 3.
That the confederate debt shall DO as
sumed by the nation These modest re-
quests are made rs cone sweet morsel oil

Compensation to the south for its slaves.

CONFORMATION TO the south for its slaves.
In various ways comes the intelligence
from the south that many of the Southern
holders confidently anticipate OBJ
tanning from the General Government
compensation for their slaves IN case
Greeley is elected 10 the Presidency
They recall his proposition to pay $780,
O00, 900 for them in July. 1864. and ask
If he could make such \ proposition then
what would prevent him from agreeing
to it now? The Galveston (TeSas) News,
Greeley organ, in recent issue says:
Though Mr.. Greeley has been long
and consistently the advocate of emanci-
patton, vet he always admitted the con-
stitutional right OF the south 10 her slave
property, the protection Of which consti-
tuted the most essential preliminary con
dition to the original formation OF the
Union. Everybody Knows the Union
never could have been formed but tor the
solemn guarantee OF slave property IN
the great compact of union. Hence, Mr..
Greeley has always advocated compensa-
ton for this property. lie looked upon
slavery rs an evil and an insurmountable
obstacle TO the prosperity OF the country,
and he advocated the removal of that
evil upon the same principle that private
property is forcibly taken when required,
IN order TO facilitate great public improve
meuts, but for which due compensation
is made 20 the owners"
