1t is somewhat singular fact that the principal

seem to have afforded food for much comment
among his opponents The Buffalo Express says
that having escaped from his keepers he reveed
In silly Speech In which he alluded with childish
delight to the conspicuous position he was occupy

fact that he had succeeded so well as an editor it
might be inferred that he would succeed equally
well as President. The Express, referring to Mr..
Greeley's career as an editor concludes:-
in view OF all this il is a sorry spectacle indeed
that the foolish old man offers to wondering peo-
pie, standing up as lie did before critical audi
ence the first chance he had to slip his muzzle, and
bleating those complacent notes OF self-laudation
which we read in the published report.
The Chicago Post positive Grant, reasons as fol
lows on Greeleys self-laudatory speech:-
The Greeleyan logic is substantially as follows:- -
Anthony BleecKer Is a very successful auctiOneer;
Aver has made toerably successful vegetable
pillist; therefore he would make good President
and this mutilated syogism is confirmed by the
fact that DR.. Aver has also been toeraby success
