The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1872-08-23

To THE EDITOR or THE True NORTH
ERNER,
DEAR Sir: | have frequently been
asked by many of my friends for whom
| was going to vote for President, Grant
or Greeley? My answer is Grant, for
several reasons:
|. He is the regular standard. bear-
er of the great Republican party.
>. His administration has been re-
markably successful in reducing largely
the burden of taxation, caused by the
Democratic rebellion, and reducing the
National debt 100000, 900
3 He has maintained peace with all
nations, and upheld the honor and dig
nifty of the Federal Union.
4. He has fulfilled his promise to the
great organization which elected him to
the Presidency.
5. MIR. Greeley has no claims upon
the Republican party as political or.
ganization. He has abandoned his old
associates, principles, and former polit.
ical alliances invited and accepted
other alliances, and other political com.
pany and their pernicious doctrines and
principles
A man is known by the company he
associates with. His company now is,
to large extent, comprised of Tam
manyitcs and Sore-heads, the mass of
which have hitherto been the most i'm.
placable opponents of all which was &C
complished to save our country from
disruption and anarchy. Therefore we
must regard Mr.. Greeley as political
enemy, whose foot has stepped in an
evil hour, or he would have not con-
sented to be thus used by those whom
he has so scathingly denounced only a
few short months ago. 1t proves how
tickle all old man can be when the Pres.
idential prize is held up for him to gaze
at, but which we firmly believe he never
will grasp. The SO called Democratic
party, with which he is now leagucd, is
so putrid in its nature that its stencil
has we'll nigh assembled to Heaven !;
and it does seem as if the chaste occu.
pants there had become so enraged at
the abhorrcd indignity of thus disturb.
ing their blissful repose, that the walls
of Omnipotcnt wrath were uncorked,
about year ago, and the contents have
not ceased to flow upon the heads of the
chief sachcms of the Metropolitan city
of North America. The damnablc ours
fled and hid themselves nearly as if fire
and birthstone were momentarily ex-
pectcd to descend upon them, and wipe
them and their plumber out Of existence.
Most truly not without cause,
What city, what people of modern
times has been so outraged like New
York and the people of the State OF
New York-by the Democratic party
And yet shame o, shame on you Mr.
Greeley and your so.called Liberal Re.
publicans This is the company you
have joined hands with across that bloody
chasm Yes, with men, their hands
red with the blood of our fathers, sons
and brothers, asking you to put them
in power to make laws for q country
they tried to destroy! And now they
ask us to vote for Greeley because he
formerly belonged to the Republican
party. They might with the same pro.
priety ask us to vote for Andrew John
son or JEFF. Davis-both arch traitors.
l again repeat the above answer, l
90 for Gen. Grant for our next Presi'
dent, and call on all true Republicans
to be true to themselves, true to their
country and the Republican party, who
saved the country by crushing out the
Rebellion, and vote for Grant and Will
son for our next President and Vice
