Greeley vs.. Grant.

The Courier-JOuruSl says.
Atthe Grant ratification meeting
in New y Ork In 1868 there were four
speakers; at the Greeley ratification
meeting in 1872 there were nearer
forty. At the Grant ratification
meeting 1865 the hall of the Cooper
Institute was not full, and there
were no speakers at outside stands;
at the Greeley ratification meeting
in 1872 the hall was densely packed,
there were four outside stands, and
the whole square between Clinton
and PEmptOn Halls, and the Coop
er Union and the Bible House, was
crowded. But the most curious
fact remains to be mentioned. OF
the four speakers st the Grant rati-
fications meeting in 1868 barely one
is a Grant man in 1872, and he holds
a small office in Virginia under the
A Administration; the other three are
outspOkcn and enthusiastic suppOr-
ters of Greeley and BrOwn.-lN. y.

Some who have called themselves
philosophers have said that society
is artiiicial-the natural condition
of man being that Of seclusiOn and
solitude, and social existence being
q device to avoid certain inCOnven-
fences and secure certain comforts.
This theory, ifit ever found serious
acceptance, was long ago given up.
1t is acknowledged that the indiVid-
ual by himself is not complete; that
we are naturally, as well as by grace
members one Of another Solitude
Is. therefore, one Of the shortest
roads to the mad-hOuse. The mar
valous gift of language. the instru-
ment OF social intercourse. is the tes-
timony of nature that we exist for
this end; for IL is hardly probable
that this wonderful power was given
Us that we might indulge IN sOli,O-
quies. Place a human being in ut
ter solitude; suppose him TO beigno-
rant that other beings Ike himself
cXist-the sense of slOneliaC~s, the
Yague but intense craving for social
converse, the deep yeauing OF his
soul, testify that he is out of his
element, that he has lost part of his
being The is niSuS, UntUlhiled

God does not appear at first in the
form of q deduction, IN the form Of
a proposition, but IN the form Of
trust, reverence, fcar, gratitude, sup
plieation, in the form Of dependence
aud obligation; IN the same way
