this. In the ordinary dealings of bust.
ness life, no doubt, MI. Greeley is honest;
he will neither cheat nor pick your peck

has been, and continues to be far from
| upright, substituting a low expediency
| for answering rectitude. The great
| American compromiser, Henry Clay, liv:

In the treatment of public affairs he is

reason for the gravest apprehensions Al

There need be adduced no cause

greater body Of Southern whites-loya

eager for his success, while as large
portion of the Southern freemen are trem

perceive what will be the sad conse4uen'
ces to themselves. They may not, indeed,
be again reduced to bondage; but shor,
of this, there will be little regard paid t.

so alarmed and indignant ut the stu
