toes during Cne 1aIQlQe IN ireland. he also
employed that noble IrlshWoman, Margaret
Fuller, upon the Trioune, and has always
been ready to recognize and applaud Irish
genius and worth. He is strong with the ne.
groes, for he has been the foremost man in
America In advancing their freedom, his paper
having ever been the great organ of the
enemies Of slavery. he is strong with the old
original Republican element, the venerable
AbOlILionsts, because he Is one himself, and
the bond is knit together by the ties OF com.
mon effort, long trial and glorious triumph.
He is strong candidate with the rebels, be-
cause he was the first leading Republican In
the North to advocate amnesty and 10 oppose
conflscalion. His noble, ringing appeals for
magnaumity in victory, and for universal am
nesty, and his courageous opposition to Tnad.
Stevens's plan of sweeping confscalion, are
remembered in the South. For these acts,
and for his defiance of Radical Northern opin-
ion IN going upon the bail bond OF Jefferson
Davis, he has placed the Southern people
under acknowledged obligations. He Is
strong with the farmers because he Is farmer
himself, and has given q lifetime of attention
to this branch OF Industry. Who has written
more or better upon agricultural subjects than
Horace Greeley? Who has delivered more ad-
dresses and lectures at fairs and farmers as-
eoclalions all over this broad land than Horace
Greeley? What name is more familiar In
every farmers household? What paper more
welcome than the Tribune?
He Is popular with the mechanics and work
ingmen, because he is the workingman's
friend, real friend, not OF the cheap dema-
gcgue sort. he is strong with the protec-
tlUnists, because he has SO long and 80
ably advocated the protection of American in
dustry. In New England he Is popular, be-
cause he was from there, learned his trade
there, and the old people especially feel bound
to him by the ties of early recolIections aud
common privations. He .is still New Eng
land man In every sense but actual residence.
His weekly goes 10 every hamlet, and his lee
lures have been listened to in every considera-
BILE town from the HUDSON River TO the utter
most end OF Maine. He is revered by the
young men of New England, for who has CIV
en- the more or better advice, whether 1t was
to go West and grow up with the country, get
married, or keep out OF college? With the
temperance men, not only OF New Engiahd out
the country at large, he is vsnerated TOR he is
an apostle OF temperance, never drinking any
thing stronger than sweetened warm Wa-
ter. He is popular among the MorRons,
for he defended them against Parson New
mans crusade, and would not have them
wiped from the face of the earth for the crime
of having religion. Those who would run
them off aud divide their hard-earned proper
ty among the virtuous Gentiles have No en-
couragemeut from Horace. He is popular
with the Univel salisls and the wicked gene
rally, for he Is q Uhiversalist himself and does
not believe in eternal punishment for trans
gressors. In the bounuless West he is strong,
for who has given more attention TO forest
planting, ditch digging, deep plouehlng sowing,
harvesting and reapiug than he? He will run
we'll In Kentucky, because he was the llfe-
long friend and champion of Henry Clay; aud
In Tennessee because the old Wing party still
lives there N the breasts OF seventy thousand
voters; aud in Texas, because he made a loDg
Journey there 10 tell them what ne knew
about farming; and In Mississippi and Loutsl-
ana, because lie denounced the carpet-oag
thieves, who we're robbing the people In the
name Of loyalty; and In South Carolina, be-
cause the people have been harassed by
martial law, and are most emphatically for
anybudy who Can .'beat Grant.
Is not this formidable picture An Inn
presslve marshalling of strength Is sa:h a
show OF strength and such numerous elements
of popularity matter of no consequence
Is it good joke? These matters aud the
questions pertaining thereto are now under
going grave consideration by Grants lleulen-
ants and postmasters.
