easier than one. But the Democratic
party met by its representatives in cJnvcn-

the case squarcly in the face and settled
the question for myself. From tina mo

him and bis party back in his own oaiu-'
we have given him 1iuy fbv blow, and have
not been very exact in keeping the account
either. But this must say, knowing him

Mr. Greeley has been Il persistent advo

lie has never been a bjgOt or opposed to
any man wQrshipping Il ccor ing t.
the dictates OF his own conscience. He
onposeI know-nothin-ism when almost his
entire party went into that Internal order,
and prevented it perhaps from ovcrrun-
ning the country. III all these things and
many more, his mind always and naturally
ran with the democracy.
Another thing, be 1t sad 10 his praise,
he has always been found on tie side of
the POOR and lowly. The oppressed and

friend and advocate. lie is said toe to
have been liberal and charitable with his
means to the needy and suffering.
HIS generosity and charities bestowed
have kept him poor, and th.s to ,lay, his
poverty Is cast upon him as reproach.
Others, 1t Is SAID, with no better opportun'-
ties have accumulated large fortunes, have
become rich, while he has renamed poor
And hence the moncyed power Is against
