Mr.. Greeley entertained lot of
"blacklegs, pugilists," etc. at Chap
paqua ON Saturday, concerning which
the Chicago Times wickedly says:
at turns out after all that the philo-
sopher did not finish up the reconcilia-
ton business at Chappaqua as he
ought TO have done. He neglected to
reconcile the Democratic to the liber-
al phisosophic virtues by providing
fine-cut, .cigars and rum for his guests.
The fact seems to be that he supplied
nothing more cOnciliatory and virtu-
ous than sundry hogsheads Of lemon
adc, and that host and guests departed
in Q state of disgusting sobriety. Per-
haps It was out Of an Democratic
Republican regard for the ladies who
were sandwiched in among the ssblack-

If Mr.. Greeley never made, or no.
body ever made for him, q corrupt bar
gain with Tammany Democratic, he is,
nevertheless, the candidate of that
party. Ifhis nomination at Cincinnati
was not preconcerted thing, 1t never
theless was hailed with delight by the
worst rebel element that had gathered
there from the South, and which will
accept anything that promises disorder
and dis0rganization; it was accepted
with loathing and disgust by the very
few mistaken reformers who could
bring themselves to tolerate 1t and It.
was rejected with scorn by nearly
oil those who meant what they said
when they asked for reform. If Mr..
Greeley's unfitness for the position he
covets cannot be proved BY showing
what he promised to pay for 1t, his un-
fitness is nevertheless manifest and is
not denied, that we know Of, by sin
gle respectable journal and hardly by
single sensible man In the country
After all that can be said, or cannot be
said, this fact remains-this damning,
unmistakable, and, 30 far a. there Is
any danger Of Mr.. Greeley's election
this alarming fact, that he is the candi-
date Of the party which in the admin
istration of local governments, and the
Of the general govern
ment, has reached, within the last quar-
ter of q century, to an assumption of
despotic power, and to its corrupt use,
which has already cost us one war Of
four years, which Is D constant menace
Of civil anarchy, is constant threat of
financial ruin, is constant reproach to
The cause Of popular government, and

argument all over the world against
republics and in favor of monarchy
Those who are willing to risk the re-
urn of such q party to power may vote
'or Greeley, because of some personal
,r selfish end they are to gain by his
election; but any man of common
'ense and common honesty, who has
,othing to gain by it, but yet advocates |
his election, seems to US to be under a

IL upon US. A little over three
months is left In which to wage the
Presidential battle. The fires are be-
ing kindled and the fervor and heat
ofthe contest, will soon light up the
whole face Of our great National area.
It is the Same battle we have fought as
. Republican party, for sixteen years /;
commencing first with resistance to
the slaveocratic and 90 called Demo.
cratic idea Of making slavery national
instead Of sectional. This fight won
by the cause Of liberty in the election
of Abraham Lincoln, was converted
into the most destructive war the
world ever Witnessed, by the demo-
cratic party, in It's perfdious and trad
torous attempt to disrupt the nation
in behalf Of slavery. The cause Of lib
erty triumphed over despotism and
slavery In that great contest of arms,
involving the death Of hundreds Of
thousands ofvictims. Next, democra-
cy opposed reconstruction upon the
basis of giving all men the privilege
by their ballot, to defend at the polls
their liberties, and further attempted
to destroy the nation by launching it
into repudiation. Up 10 this hour, de-
mocracy has failed. Now they have
seized upon . former Republican, who
has always been 90 weak a. to be ca
jolled by rebels, into the most foolish
positions, and through him they seek
the same end that they have striven
for, from the beginning. Into their
hands this old republican bag Of vaga-
ries throws himself, indulging in his
old natural theoretic speculations, that
the soft cunning words of rebels and
rebel sympathizers, are from the heart.
II among the possibilities this old the
orist as the figure head of democracy
should succeed, he would be as effect
ually chained to the rebel democratic |
chariot, in his every act, as was Pro-
metheus to the Caucasian rock. As
