Horace Greeley is the nominee Ofthc
Democratic party for President, and
pertinent to the occasion is Mr. Gree.
ley's recent opinions of the men who
are now expected to be his followers.
In calling attention to these opinions,
the New York Times SAYS: '1f the
low opinion he has had concerning
Dmeocracy was correct, is that party
fit to choose President IfMr. Gree,
ley's opinion was false, is he fit to be
chosen President 2" Read the amia-
bic Horace's opinions of the party
just sold to a handful of liberals.
DEMOCRATS ARE THE FATHERS OF
SOUTHERN MULATTOEs.
AL do not kRO,c that there are seq
erdl hundred thousand MuldttOes u
This country +; and we presume that no
one has dnp seri0us doubt that The
fathers Of them are achite Democrats,
and ace arc told that those Democrats,
If they aoiU haze yellop children,
might better than Other,cise treat the
mothers respectfully as rices after
the laudaJle pattern Of that eminent
Democratic, rice President Richard
lM johnson. Horace Greeley, dec.
10, 1872,
DEMOCRATS ARE PUGILIsTs, GAMBLERS
OR HARLOTs.
Erery one achO chooses TO hUe by
pugilism, or gambling, or harlotry,
icih nearly erery keeper Of a tip
piing-House, as politically a Demo
crat.-Hordce Greeley, Jan. I. 1868.
DEMOCRATS FILL ALL THE HAUNTs OF
DEBAUcHERY.
Point lcherecer you please to an
election district achich yOu aciil pro
no,ace morally rotten, giuen up an
great part to debauchery and rice,
achose roters s,tbsist mainly by keep
ing poiicy-ofices, gambling-ho,tses,
grog-shOps and darker dens of infa-
my, and that district ,ciu be found at
nearly or quite ecery election giuing a
majority for that ,chich styles itself
The democratic" party. Take all
The haunts Of debauchery an the land,
and you aciH find niae-tenths of their
n,aster-spirits actioe partisans Of
that same Democracy What as The
instinct, The sympathetic chord, achich
attaches them so uniformly 10 this
party! JViU yOu consider !-Horace
Greeley.
DEMOCRATS ARE IGNORANT sOTs.
Every youth who islearning to sip
and soak in the grog-shops is being
fashioned to the uses of sham Demo-
cracy. His virtuous parents may
think otherwise-may be ignorant of
his haunts and his habits but if he is
learning to love liquor and loose CON-
pany he is being fashioned to the
ends of the adversary. Hence the
Democratic managers and oracles al
most uniformly hate and revile the
temperate reform, even when temper
ate They know that its triumph is
their damage, and probable defeat.
There is not State in the Union
whereof the Democratic Party is not
conspicuosly hostile to whatever leg
islation tends to diminish the number
or the power of the grog-shops.-
Horace Greeley.
THEY ARE BLACKLEGs, BURGLARS AND
KEEPERS OF DENs OF PROSTITUTION.
We thercupon asked our contempo-
rary to state frankly whether the
pugilists, black legs, thieves, burglars,
keepers of dcns of prostitution, &c,
&c, We're not almost unanimously
Democrats.-IIorace Greeley.
DEMOCRATIC VIRTUES
To smoke is a Democratic virtue !;
to chew is that virtue intensified; TO
drink rum is that virtue in the super
lative.-Horace Greeley.
DEMOCRATS THRIVE UPON THE IGNo-
RANCE OF THE COMMUNITY.
If there were not a newspaper nor
q common school in the country, the
Democratic party would be far stron-
ger than it is.-Horace Greeley.
LOVE RUN AND HATE NIGGERs.
The essential articles of the Demo-
cratic creed are] "love rum and hate
niggers." The less one learns and
knows, the more certain he is to vote
the regular ticket from A to lizard
Horace Greeley.
LEwD, RUFFIANLY AND CRIMINAL
A purely selfish interest attaches
the lewd, ruffianly, criminal and dan
gerous classes to the Democratic
Party.-Horacc Greeley.
SIX IN BED.
This would amount to six in bed,
exclusive of any other yermin, for
