Greeley for the South.

The New York Post, which opposes Greeley
because he was too friendly to the South dur
ing the war, says
Through the whole of the war, in short,
from the firing upon Sumter to the capture Of
Richmond the efforts and the influence of Mr..
Greeley acre crercised virtually on behalf of the
rebels, lnasmuch as they were constant and un-
Wearled to bring the war to an end, no matter
at what cost OF honor or of territory. This he
was ready to do to any amount at the instiga-
tion of the Northern friends of the rebels, while
he never went near Mr.. LINCOLN to give him
one word of comfort or of cheer, to offer to sus-
tain him before the people, or to hold up the
weary hands OF the man on whose frmness and
Judgment depended such tremendous issues
And, finally, when the war was over, when diff
terences OF opinion among ourselves, at least,
should have been forgotten and forgiven, In
view of the magnificent result of Union pre-
served and slavery abolished, the vindictiveness
of Mr.. Greeley against President who had
scorned his advice that he might save his coun-
try, was still cherished as a virtue.
AS the Post, says the Lynohburg Nrginian,
has thus succeeded in making Mr.. Greedy ap-
pear to be better friend of the South than of
the. North ,-one who was evidently in favor of
making "peace with the rebels upon any
terms, we hope to see an abatement of that
ferociousness with which some Of our ''unre-
constructed friends in the South denouuce
him. IF the Posts statement be true, Mr..
Greeley ought to be acceptable to the ex-rebels,
certainly.

In speaking of Greeley in its issue of the 18th
inst, the Richmond Enquirer, which has been
opposing him, says:
HE has gone far enough to demonstrate
that he is willing to risk his reputation and his
future hopes upon the hazard of the die, and
it would be very unkind now to desert him and
turn him back again to the tender mercies of
his old associates who would perhaps reject him
with scorn, or condemn him to the vilest SER
vitude. We really feel that we would be treat
ing him unkindly to throw him off, after lead
ing him thus far out of his course. We ought
not to get him into difficulty through friend
illness for US, and then leave him to fight bis
own way out That is not chivalrous. The
Yankee might do it-a Northern Senator might
practice such joke as that upon an unsophis-
ticated Southern Senator; but it would not look
well in the great Democratic party, who, we
believe, have gone too far now in their pledges
to Mr.. Greeley and his friends to withdraw
We are, perhaps, already in honor bound to
Mr. Greeley, and if SO we must not forfeit our
own self-respect. We lost war in the South,
but saved our honor and to save it again we
can well afford to lose an electon-if that
should be the alternative"

An Active Philadelphia Democrat.

A letter from John Campbell, an active and
influential Democrat in Philadelphia, address
ed to the N. Y. World, deprecating the course
of that paper which, he says, is more for
Grant than Greeley" concludes as follows
Whatever may be said Of Mr. Greeley, his
tongue and pen have always been upon the side
OF the poor, and of him who earns his bread by
his hands daily. In 1S47-4S he spoke, on more
than one occasion, for ten-hour law for wo-

Democratic leader endorses Greeley.

In response to request for an expression of
his political views as proposed delegate at
large to the Baltimore Convention, Gen. Dur
bin Ward of Lebanon, Ohio, has written a long
letter, which appears in The Cincinnati En-
Quirer. He declines to be candidate for dele
gate to Baltimore. and then proceeds at length
to discussion of the issues of the present cam
paign. His very able letter concludes as fol-
lows:
"There is still another thing to be said of
Greeley. He may have his weakness, his va
carries, as who has not2 But he is, neverthe-
less, and has been for generation, great
popular leader. He is a great thinker, wrong
headed sometimes, right-hearted always

strong as to disturb the equilibrium of his head,
but his failings always lean to virtues side.-
He Is every way man Of work, strong in ma
ture, thoughtful, honest, temperate indus
trlous. One OF the people, too, is he. Ever
urgent for their interests, ever advising them
| to higher aims, ever pointing them to the paths
OF industry and frugality, ever combining them
to virtue. He has always been the friend of
the weak and the poor. From his door the
needy are not turned unaided away, nor does
he refuse the humble advice and counsel What
weigh his little foibles against virtues like
these? Of late years great leaders are rarely
made President. Since jackson no man of
equal character, save one. has occupied the
White House. Let the Democracy, then, for
getting the past, have magmanimity enough to
nominate, for the sake Of the country, their
boldest and bitterest opponent and ardently
support him, and they will not only achieve
success, but have the glory of once more restor-
ing peace and fraterpal confidence to all sections
of the country. In doing so we are not called
upon to make any abandonment Of onr princi-
the front with the march ssof events and meet
the issues of the day as they arise, instead OF
lingering in the graveyard of the past to
wrangle over the epitaphs Of dead issues. "

Hnnnrs to the Dead.

The bodies of 7lS Confederate soldiers, dis
inferred at Gettysburg recently and taken to
Richmond, were inferred at Hollywood Gene
terry last Thursday evening, amid the most I'M
pressive and solemn funeral ceremonies. The
procession, two miles in length, consisting OF the
First Virginia Regiment, the Richmond How
tiers, detachment of police, sixteen wagons
with boxes containing the dead, followed by ex-
Confederate comrades, was headed by General
Geo. E. Pickett, to whose division the dead
belonged. Next came the Society of the South
ern Cross Brotherhood, the rear being brought
up by carriages extending mile in length
Along the line of procession the streets were
draped in mourning, the stores closed, and
business generally suspended. An immense
concourse of persons lined the streets. The
spectacle was the most imposing that has oc-
Cured there since the close of the war.

Henry Wilson.

Mr.. Wilson, letter of acceptance stamps him
an out and out demagogue. and self confessed
hypocrite. He admits that he formerly CO.
operated with political organizations with
whose leading doctrines [ [hel sometimes had
neither sympathy nor belief" This refers to
his former Know Nothingism. In 1854 he was
the chief of that organization in Massachusetts,
He was elected to the United States Senate by a
Know Nothing Legislature. He claimed to be
and was the representative of that party in the
United States Senate. He says, in order to
conciiate adopted citizens, that he was playing
the hypocrite when he pretended to oppose
them. What proof is there that he is not play
ing the hypocrite now when he affects to be
their friend His letter is nauseous piece of
political courtesanship all through. This Great

Address by Gen. Robt. D. Lilley.

This gentleman, who has been for several
years and is still zealously laboring in behalf of
Washington and Lee University, delivered, by
invitation of the Faculty, an interesting address
to the corps of Cadets of the "Texas Military
Institute" in Austin, Texas, on the 18th of
May. Through his active exertions several
States have endowed chairs in Washington
and Lee University, and the prospects are
favorable that he will soon succeed in securing
sufficient sum in that State to endow the
''Texas Chair of Applied Mathematics. He has
already secured over $4,000. with good pro-
spect of increasing it to $50. 900 in short time,
and thus completing the endowment. That
University is free from debt, and the cash en-
dowments amount to three hundred thousand
dollars, and the aggregate capital to half mil

to beat Grant is to trample out "Grantism,"
