confinement, awaiting trial, Greeley be-
came his bail, setting him at liberty.
Greeley is supported and surrounded
by bad men. The Tammany ring and
the whole horde of thieves and blacklegs
in New York enthusiastically support
Greeley. Horace White, of tho Chicago
Tribune, said after the Cincinnati Con
vention "The worst thing that can be
said of Mr.. Greeley is, that he generally
has q .teaO aO0rtbZess dead beats hanging
around him, preying on his cash and his
good nature; impairing his reputation
among those whose good opinion he
ought to possess. "7bess creatures he mast
shake Of f0rtba05tb, or there soiW be trouble
before the campaign ends. Carl Schurz,
as we'll as Horace White, has said that he
believed Greeley aoas SURROUNDED By bad
men. Horace Greeley elected and in the
White House, his entire surroundings
would soon be by bad men. Seldom
would even Liberal Republican obtain
access to him. The old rebel Democracy
having given him his chief support, would
have the chief control of him. The
Louisville Courier Journal, Greeley or.
gan says "The Liberal movement is Dem
0eratic, because 1t seeks to accomplish the
0sry ends for eohsch the Democratic porty
has struggled for Qears" The rebel histo.
rian e. A. Pollard, in speaking of the
Liberal party, says: "It is q portion Of
the Republican party that has come to them
(tne Democracy and not they q0ko haze
gone to the Republican party" The
Liberals having gone to the Democracy
and being few in Plumbers would form
but small part Of Greeley's surround
ings in the White House. It would be a
repetition of Andy Johnson in the White
House after she assassination of Lincoln
SO described by Ben. Wade. Wade said
81 went to the White House soon after
Lincoln was assassinated and Johnson
talked as patriotic as ever; but the next
time l went the White House was full of
traitors and l concluded 1t aCus no place
for me-" Being surrounded by bad men
before his election, and elected by the
rebel Democracy, Greeley would be very
likely to be surrounded by bad men, rebels
and traitors in the White House. And
with such surroundings Greeley is not to
be trusted with the administration Of the
Grants administration has thus far been
a success. AS President he may have
made some mistakes, but as few as any
President in proportion to the number
and Importance of his official acts. But
if he has made mistakes, he has always
been willing to acknowledge, and, as far
as be could, correct them. Gerrit Smith,
in an address to his neighbors at Peter
boro, N. Y, June 22d, gives some good
reasons why Grant should be elected. He
says:
Il close with saying that we must have
Grant for our President few years long.
err The anti-slavery battle is not yet
fought out-nor will it be so long as a
single shred Of Ku KIuxism remains, nor
so long as there are persons who are de-
priVed on account of their complexion of
so much as one civil right. Let it not be
said that the negro, having gained most of
his rights, is content to live without the
remainder. The more nearly he gains
them all the more disconnected and griev-
ed will he be if any one of them is with
held from him. Such is human nature.
1.-THE pris'ner sent to breathe fresh air,
And taste of liberty again,
Would mourn were he condemned to
One link OF all his former chain"
We can trust the Republican party with
Grant at It's head to finish this great work
which 1t has begun. But we speak in the
light Of the past and unchanged character
of the Democratic party when we say
that if it come again into power, and with
whatever person at its head, the black
man will again be outraged-and if posi-
bic re-enslaved the national debt be re.
pudiated, or the Confederate debt, includ-
ing the price of emancipated slaves, be
assumed and put upon par with it and,
in short, the half million of lives and
the five thousand millions of dollars ex-
pended in putting down the rebellion and
establishing the equal rights OF all men
will have been expended in vain. -"
The foregoing arc. some Of the reasons
why Grant should and Greeley should not
be elected President There are many
other reasons which, if not equally as
good, are abundantly sufficient, but the
