WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEkx.-A special effort is
being made to persuade the colored people
that they ought to support GREELEY. And
whcrefores If GREELEY had had the power to
cary ont his policy, what would have been the
condition of the colored people to-dayf II the
south had been permitted to peacefully secede, as
GREELEY contendcd they had right to do; or if
his various eonnivipgs at sdiskonorable peace du-
ring the proGrrss Of the war had been successful,
slavery would have been fixed forever in this
country, and today thsre would have been q
powerful Government oeeapying oue-half the ter

Mexico and Central America, whose very corner
stone would have been negro slavery.

THE WESTERN HERAID.-We have received the
first number Of this paper, the successor of the
Democrat, at Doniphan, conducted by DIR. J. J.
Crook. Its Chicago outside is vast improve
nent upon the old reprint IF the AtchisOn Patriot.
The DIR. has not yet got the set of the editorial
harness, but mixes his rs and we's promiscuousy
he shuts his eyes, and goes for GREELEY end fore
most. His zeal may be judged from the Wild
ness of his predictions We have not yet been
able to hear of the Republican in Donphan Coun-
ty who is in favor of the Liberal ticket, yet the
Herald says GREELEY will carry the County by
500 majority; and, still wilder says that he will
receive 900 majority in the State! But as the
editor remarked to friend, the other day. that
he greatly preferred GRANT to GREELEY, and be-
lieved he would make much the better President
of the two, but he proposed to favor GREELEY, as
the best means of bursting mp the Republican par
ty, we take it that he has started out oil a big
game of brag.

The AlAfne.

The Aldiae, for June, In the most American Of
all our magazines. 1t contains three full page
original Illustrations of American Forest Scenery,
by Moran, Nehlig, and Hows. Moran has selec-
tcd the primitive forest, and given ms . glimpse
Of its wildnesss and grandeur. His subject is
/" Kwasind, The Strong Man, )" in the "Song Of
Hiawatha, y and he has handled it magni6ceutly,
with all the strength and noDeof the extravaganza
of Dsre. Neblig has selected the Colonial forest,
SO to speak, and has given MS glimpse Of its
sunny openings, rooted with foliage, draped with
vines, carpeted with flowers and moss, and peo-
pled with happy birds. His subject is Campbell's
"Gertrude of Wyoming" the spirit of which he
has realized in his figures Of Gertrude and Al
bert, who are rambling through the woods in
fancifnl Indian garb. Hows has selected the for
ests of the Adrondacks, and has given us glimpse
of the pines of the Racquette. They shoot up be-
fore us with their tall trunks and crooked, rag
ged branches, struggling with summer shunshine,
frightened and darkened by turns as they stretch
along the winding stream that brawls over its
rocky bed. A nobler trio of forest pictures than
these were never drawn, and they onght to make
the fortune of The AidiRe as an Art Journal. The
rest of the illustrations Of various degrees Of
merit, the most noticeable being Davis's " Rainy
Day." after Longfellow's poem of that name, and
a characteristic design, by Stephens, for one Of
Esop's fables The literature is of more varied
character than that of any other periodical pub
lished in this country. The present number con-
tains an interesting paper on "Charlotte Brontes
Brother and Father, by January Searle; son an
Island" simple and pathetic story, by Caroline
Chesebro'; "An Ill Wind" agraceful sketch, by
Leslie Malbone; ." The Fate of the Hassans,"a
matter-of-fact ghost story, by Clara Guernsey;
and Fancie's Farewell" an imaginative fantasy,
by Lord Dinks's Mother DIR. T. N. Coan gives
us "A Glimpse at Ireland" "W. W, Bailey con-
tributes a pleasant paper on "Marsh and Pond
Flowers" and Erastus South gossps about "An
Art Muse in America" The poetry of The A.
dive puts to shame the ambitions verse of the pc,
riod, it is SO fresh, and characteristic. "My
Neighbor Over the Way" by George W. Sears, is
the most striking poem Of the kind that we have
read for years; and "Out i'm the Woods" by
Mary E. Bradley, is in her happiest vein. There
are editorials, on "The Noble Savage" "The
Heart of Kosciusko," "Love Aloft, and "The
Kingfsher." Altogether the June 4ldine is the
best that has yet been published. The publishers
are James Sutton & Co., q Liberty Street, N. Y,
and the price is $500, including oil chrome.

II When the Republican party of Kansas was
organized at Osawatomie, in 1859, HORACE GREE
LEY came out to officiate in the ceremonies The
Democracy made dreadful outcry over it. They
had not 30 much objection to the Republican par
ty; but the fact that such scoundrel as GREE
LEY, such dsorganizer and mischief-maker in
the domestic affairs of the nation, engineered the
thing, was enough to damn it eternally in the
eyes of all decent and law abiding citizens. Now,
the same men are slobbering over him, and trying
to prove that he is the greatest, the wisest, and
the purest man in the whole country.

SPECIMEN Liberal RECRUIT.-We have seen
mention of JOSHUA WHEELER, of Atchison Coun-
ty, as of the monthly GREELEY converts, the
Republican party being too corrupt for him to
stand it any longer. This WHEELER bummed
around Topeka, last Winter, and succeeded in
getting himself summoned to testify before the
Senatorial Investigating Committee. In his tes-
timony, he swOre to certain statements relative
to SAM. KING; and KING knew nothing of it, until
he received printed copy Of the Investigation,
a short time since. We are informed that he re-
Gently met WHEELER, and told him he would
give him his choice either to go before Notary
Public and make affidavit that he wilfully and
knowingly lied in his testimony, to be prose-
cuted in the courts for perjury; that WHEELER
chose the former alternative, and actually did
make affidavit before Notary Public, that he
had sworn falsely in his testimony relative to
KING; and that KING now has that interesting
document in his possession, and proposes to send
it to Washington, as fair specimen of the black
mailing crusade now going on against Senator
CALDWELL

sores be probed.

THE CHILD's lNQuIRY.


Carl Schura sat down. one evening late.
To rest his weary head
When his little son came into the room,
And looking at him. said:-
Who il this Horace Greeley. pa,
That people call wise
Is he some giant. tall enough
To reach unto the skiesi''
20! no. my child, about as large
As or Governor Brown:
Twas not his stature made him great
Or won him this renown.
But he it was who nobly bailed.
jeff Davis from his cell:
And now We want for President
The man that did 30 WELL
But, then. papa. was not old jeff
traitor to the Statei
You used to run him down. and say
That hanging was his fate.
And wouldn't Horace Greeley, pa,
If he were President,
Bail out and pardon every rogue
Who was To prison sent =
"Ob, M. my child: Jeff Davis was
An enemy in war;
But he who halls a common rogue
His neishbors all abhor.''
Then. pa. # I should steal a horse,
I'D steal hundred more:
Would ! he great. and get bailed out,
Like Davis did beforei''
oh, no. my child; the gospel says
That You should always da
To every person as you would
That they should do To you.''
az 'Bnt. pa. did Horace Greeley think,
That in some future day
He would want hail. when he should try
His country tn betrayF'
The Senator could say no mnre-
So, turning quickly said:

'Tis time you were in bed

A NOBLE MoNUMENT.-There are few who re-
alize the wealth of information contained in the
latter editions of Websters dictionary. Its cuts,
each worth page of description, its dictionary of
noted names of fiction, familiarity with which is
as indispensable to man of any pretensons to
cultivation as a knowledge of history, and IFS
numberless other advantages, conspire to mark it
to-day as the noblesf monument to patient literary
labor and enterprise of this age if not of any. To
possess and habitually use it, will alone almost
compensate for the want of liberal education.

AMusEMENTs.-various are the paths in which
people seek for pleasure or amusement. We have
heard of the woman who wanted to please the
children by taking them to see their father hang
ed; and of the man who promised his little son,
if he would forego the Circus, and be good boy
to take him to see his grandmother's grave; and
the mother who promised her child, if it would
quit crying for candies and playthings, it might
go and see its father have a tooth pulled; but
something equal to any of the above, and perhaps
more true, has just come to our knowledge.

y HAMMOND, in his revival sermons, said that it
was a remarkable fact that an unusual number of
sudden deaths followed all great revivals. If he
told the truth, the natural inference is, that the
sudden deaths are the direct results of the reviv-
ais. If SO, would not the public authorities be
justified, a sanitary precaution, in suppressng
great revvalss
