.s And the same Day Piiate and Akerod
were made friends together; for. Be
fore they were at Enmiiy with each
cther.--The Campaign Opened.
From the Racine Journal.

The great feat has been performed.
Horace Greeley and the Democratic par
ty have, seemingly, made friends. we
must confess ourselves puzzled to know
! how to speak Of the matter. Inere Is
something so peculiarly strange about 1t
we can find no parellel for 1t, or words to
ex pross our astonishment. At a very
tender age we read Webster's S Spelling
| Book, and the old American preceptor,
clean through, and at different periods
during the long years that have inter
yeued since that time, we have read
history we have read of combinations
of good and bad men we have picked
up good many items by the wayslde IN
our journey through life, that have not
been written in books, but In all we have
read and heard we can recollect nothing
that bears any resemblance to the Union
Of Horace Greeley and the Democratic
party. The Bible furnishes only one IL
lustration that comes anywhere near the
point, and that is where Pilot and Herod
made friends to kill Jesus; aud there Is
no evidence to show that there was any
such enmIty of nearly forty years stand
ing, existing between Plate and Herod,
as that which has existed between Gree
ley and the Democratic party. No,
there is no use looking for precedent
for this Union of treacherous corruption
and ill-conceaed hatred, in both parties.
1t stands alone, and makes the Plate and
Herod transaction appear respectable.
There is so much that Is disreputable
and develish about tive have one where
with to liken it. For nearly forty years
Horace Greeley has daily spcwed out IT
his unclean mouth the most bitter lnvec-
tives and curses upon the DEMOCRATIC
party. There have been no cessatlons !;
even in his seasons of treachery TO the
perty he protessed to honor, (but really
cursed) he never let up III his abuse OF
the Democratic party. There has never
been creepin9 thing on the earth So
low that Horace Greeley could not find a
parellel in the Democratic party And
the Democracy have paid him back with
all the slang their ''slumS of vice, las
Greeley terms them) were masters of :;
and between the two, IA hatred has, and
does still exist, that has no similarity on
the earth, and is only excelled by the
eternal hatred existing between Luclfer
md the arch angel Of Heaven; and the
;. rauge part of the transaction Is the fact
that there have been no confessions and
nc concessions on the part of either. The
combination has been made, leaving the
old haired precisely as 1t has existed tor
thirty -hve years.
Democrats everywhere declare it the
bitterest pill of heir lives. Dolly Var
den Republicans everywhere, declare
they will rot vote for a Democrat any
how ;aud ye those two factions are united
ia a war agal4ist the Republican party.
SO far as that is concerned, they are noth
working for the same ooJect-spoliS-
The Democrats h I'VE read that old SOFT
sheiled crab Alright, aud having dlscoV,
cred his silly desire TO be President anG
his willingness to swa low every prlnct-
pie ever advocated, to reach that enu,
have emuthered their haired, wlth low,
God dlahonorInS policy @hytllhS 90
.eal Grant,, aud selected f,'race tree
ley TO be their standard beartr, knowing
he will be simply putty III the r hahaS ;
and that the few office seckn dolly
Vardens that are silly enough 20 help
them do their dirty work, will be swept
away with ''shoo fly, don bodder me
And thus has been formed one OF fhc
most shameless and corr-pt potlcA
combinations ever formed on the Garth.
There is no principle involved in the
combination save that of plumber. What
may be the effect of the success of. this
unholy alliance upon the general pros
pe-ity that reigns everywhere in our land
at this time, gives them no care. Gree
lev. 70 be Pre- sident, would willingly see
ruin and bankruptcy sweep over the land.
The Democracy, in order to reach the
power of the government and the spolls,
would see old Greeley,s hand, and go
the destruction of the Union better. Oh !
it is a sweet coalition of all the odds aud
ends of the bad com mbinations that have
been formed ia our country Tor the de-
struction of the Union, and the destruc-
rioa of human lite, between the disaftect-
ed, heartless politicians that occupy the
border grounds between principle and
plander. If such 4 con, bination can
via in our land. it will be very suggest
i've of the fact that God has ceased to
exercise that care over this nation that
has seemed to be present with us IN our
efforts to lit up the poor and oppressed
of all the earth But such a comb'na-
ton cannot win in a lard of God fearing
and Intelligent people. The cunning
that has brought this incongruous mass
of MOTTO be-trusted humanity together Is
altogether to thin; their motives lie ma
ked before the people. and the plans OF
the wicked plotters will come to naught
