The self importance of some men,
by their own standard Of measure
ment, is beyond calculation. he.
cause a man is self made, as it is
called, or because by close applica-
ton to business, or the persistent
advocacy OF some unpopular, or, it
may be, some peculiar principles or
line Of policy, which, through Ills
efforts, combined with those of 9TH
ers equally as potent, joined to the
inevitable tendency Of moral deycl-
opment, eventually succeed, is that
a reason sufficiently cngent 70 .lnsti-
tv him in setting up claims for dis
tiuction more arrogant and impu-
dent than those Of a dictator?
Because Horace Greeley. by his
vigorous advocacy of Republican
principles from their unpopular
beginning to their final triumph
bearing no insignificant part in
shaping their destluy-sncceeds in
reaching position of distinction as
a leader in the party. alike honora-
bic to his zeal and his sagacity, is
that any reason why he should be
placed upon a throne Of supreme
authority to dictate the entire poll
cy and practice of the party, and
then Of the executive officers whom
the party has elevated TO power?
Such y position is both unpatriotic
and vulgar in its assumption; and
yet Greeley now occupies the posi-
ton of a turn-coat from his party,
and is found atfiliating, nay, even
leading that class of men whom tie
vigor of his pen has been directed
against during all Of his political
life, for 10 other reason than be-
cause the Executive would not con-
sent to be governed by him in the
matter Of local appointments.
Where is there a sensible, patriotic
citizen, but what looks upon the
motive in this instance, as being
utterly disgusting in its vulgar as
sumption, and exccrab'c in its evil
influence?

Horace rs % I'IEWrist.

Horace is quite fond of working
in figures. Next TO theoretical
wood chopping at Chapraqua, or
swearing at his political enemies,
the work of demonstrating on pa
per to his own satisfaction the re-
suits of future elections, affords
him great satisfaction. lie can
tell TO a cipher tie exact numerical
vote to he anticipated in State,
county, precinct = anywhere or
everywhere or nowhcrc-it doscn't
matter where. Itmay he remarked,
however, that his figuring is in some
respects analogous to his singing.
lie is splendid, Of course, but the
orc tune he whistles through his
philosophical nose is SO profoundly
different from any tune ever heard
in tile world, that the greatest
musical experts, or the least, have
never been able to detect in tho
least any music in it. So of his
figuring: lie can run up long
columns of figures, and arrive At
wonderful results in the direction
he most desires; but nowadays
they have been SO entirely wide Of
the mark, as no longer to amount
to anything in the estimation of
others. North Carolina, you know,
was TO lave gone largely Chappa-
quatic, but for some reason or other
the figures didn't bring it about.

A Democratic paper in tie prai-

its readers to do one OF two things;
either acknowledge that they have
been knavcs ard fools all their

front door Of the Radical party and
not endeavor to creep in the back
way or over a wall, or stand up
like frre.born white men and assert

Be Honest.
| ION.

Some of the opposition who have
lately permitted themselves to in
duIge in the delusion that the Ger
mans are supporting Greeley solid,
will have to give it up in the light
of facts which are of daily occur
renee. A very pertinent example,
as indicating the general drift OF
the German prc!crlcc, is given in
a recent number Of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, wherein a list Of
over eigH hundred names, belong
ing to German citizens, many Of
them prominent, are affixed to a
call for a Grant and Wilson mass
meeting. ('rhis meeting was called
to be held on 10th inst.) A good
deal of deception has been attempted
to be palmed off in this direction
by the opposition, one instance Of
which has been detected. 1t is
now known that the names of the
fifteen thousand Germans sent to
Baltimore asking the endorsement
Of Groc'ey, were obtained n long
time since Oh an dnti-fehtpe1u',ce
protest. "Iloncsty is the best pol
cy" in a Chappaquack as well as in
anybody else, and he should not
forget it.

The Boston Giobe contrasts
Greeley and Grant as follows:
For the mass Of tie people, then,
the controversy resolves itself into
a choice Of inen. We have before
us Grant, with his sturdy, straight

years as the representative Of the
great principles yindicatcd in tie
results Of the war-principles not

Greeley, who, like Grant, is a man
OF the people, and like him has
made his way TO distinction by his
own energy. An eager politician,
but cre'lulous and cortidins, lie has
put himself in the hands of bad
men who covet power at any sacri-
flee Of principle, and he would he
no safe man for the people to en-
trust with the Presidency. Old
party divisions being oblitcratcd,
and both candidates making the
same professions, the simple ques-
ton is: With which man do the
voters think the country will be
safest for four years to come? With
one who has been tried and has a
good prestige; or with one who
has not Len tried, but who has a
bad prestige?

President Grant, in a converse
ton on political affairs with some
friends on the afternoon of the 18th
inst. said that while the President
should be in accord with the lead!
ing principles Of the party that
elected him, it was essential that he
should enforce The laws which may
be enacted and administer the at
fairs of the Government, not in the
interest of the party, but in tie III
tcrcst of the entire country. While
he had no unkind words to utter
against Senator Sumner, he was
perfectly willing to place his acts
against, Summers words; and in
this connection he said Sumner did
not show himself snch a good il'iend
to the black man as he profcsScd to
I've, when he was not willing to
have the Civil Rights bill stand on
its own merits, requiring only a
majority vote, bet insisting on 4
bill of his own as an amendment to
the Amnesty bill, which could not
be passed without a majority of
two-thirds. Carpenters Civil Rights
bin, however, was passed during
the absence of Mr.. Sumner, and as
facts show much to his surprise. 1t
may he seen by tie Congressional
G1,M that Sumner did not vote at
all on the joint resolution recon-
mending tie ratification of tie Fiji

a. Oakley Hall, Democratic
Mayor Of New York City III 1870,
when Greeley was q candidate for
Congress, made a speech at
that time in which he got
off the following as his csti-
mate of the sage: ale is feeble of
purpose, trcmulouS in Judgment,
unstable and inconsistcntin thought
and deed, doing motivelcss things,
telling motiveless falSchoods, friend
" with a man one moment and nm
friendly tile next, eccentric in dress,
eccentric in eating and drinking,
devourel by the worm Of sclt.con-
sciousness, full OF unaccountable i'd
iosyncrasics and preiudices and
awkward aflcctations." Oakley is
now an enthusiastic admirer of this
same Horace.
