Company, No. g. Camp street, if they wish
TO purchase cheap lamps and things in that

there every day which make people open
their eyes with astonishment. There was a
fire next door to the company's store last
week, and good many OF their goods were
slightly damaged with water: hence the

WORKINGMEN FOR GREELEY.

We do not wonder that the mechan-
les and worlIingmen appear to be " go-
ing for Horace Greeley" almost every
where literally, without distinction of
party" 1t would be strange if it were
Otherwise.
Honest Horace is himself nothing if
not workinglAaN. Everybody knows
that. He has from the days of earliest
boyhood, earned his bread in the hea-
ven appointed way, by the sweat of his
face b. oilicc-sccl;ing-nor by
sponging the public treasury. He has
not many relations" but we believe
all of them to be placed under the same
category. Can rs much be affirmed Of
Ulysses s. Grant. the champion nepot-
ist, or of Henry Wilson, the almost life
long oiliea-i =, y" and ohicc-holder
No workiu ynlan who ever went to
Horace Greeley for counsel or aid,
clmc away withou. II friendly hearing.
Busy he might be, as busy he always
WAS and is-but he ever had time to
say cheering word 10 his follow man
when tho word vas wanted. Ask the
printers with whom ho has been life
long assoaiate--ask them what they
ipow about his benevolence and liberal
disposition, and see what they say
And their testimony is the testimony OF
every son of toll whose fortune is to
come or to have coMs i'll contact with
him. -....
Nor has he thus enleared himself by
stoopin, to the low arts which charac-
tcrize the dema 20 sac and "scuryy poll
tician! He has not sought to array
class against class, or to obtain the
favor Of the poor by exciting unworthy
prejudices against the wealthy. In
other words, he has never sought to
pull down those who were up, but to
raise to higher and better level, those
who were down. o.. .'t "
II "an honest man" is tho noblest
work of God" the American people will
honor tiamee'v,s by putin, just such n
man i'll III, Executive chair at Washin !
ton. 1t would be the bcst answer to
the allie cations made by foreign writer's,
that the American people are morally
deterioritin., and that they are no
longer willing to be governed except by
military advehturcrs, quite as bad in
their way as the Imperutors, who, as
the willing creatures Of the Pratorian
bands, came up TO the surface, rs the
historians tell us, in the declipin, days
of the old roman Empire. ''
