Whole No. 1880.
Opinions of Mr.. Greeley.

Senator Ferry passes this severe
verdict on the Cincinnati candidate:
"To intrust great interests to an adj
ministration made up and controll-
ed by Mr.. Greeley would be mere
midsummer Madness" Judge
Black says: HNo prominent man in
the country could be named more
unfit to be President than Horace
Greeley" The New York Nation
calls his nomination ga preposter-
Gus one," and says that "if he were
elected his administration would be
the most corrupt in the history of
the country" Wendell Phillips
wants to know "what agreement
was made between JEFF. Davis and
Horace Greeley" The Detroit
Free Press says "he has sold his
principles for the sake of the Presi.
dency." Gen. Mosby calls him
"the fanatic whose teachings have
been the head of all our woes"
But not a man has pronounced
more harsh condemnation of Mr..
Greeley than Greeley himself when
he promised that to get the Presi-
dency he was willing to surrender
his dearest convictions and allow
tariff reform bill to become law
when he had the moral, legal, con-
stitutional authority to prevent it.
No wonder the Nation judges him
the most unsafe man in il for the
chief executive Office.-TCin. Gaz.

Greeley on the Right TO Secede.

4. Sometime within a year, Horace
Greeley having been rallied on the
secession doctrines he held forth at
the outbreak of the rebellion, justi-
fed them by this paragraph. The
reader will see what a convenience
Horace would be in case the South
ern leaders really entertain the
hope they are constantly declaring,
of recovering the lost cause
"We have no other doctrine re.
lspeeting secession than that embod-
led in the preamble to our fathers
Declaration of independence, name
ly, that Governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed'-which consent the gov
erned have right TO withdraw.
Our fathers felt themselves justified
in seeding from and dividing the
British empire on this ground, re-
nouncing theic allegiance to the
Crown, whereof they had been born
subjects, and whereto they had
sworn fidelity. Having been edu-
Gated to believe them right in their
revolt, We shall not willingly defiIc
their graves at this late day."

Great Fire in Japan.

The capital of Japan has been
partially consumed by a terrible
fire. A fierce gale blowing when
the fire was first discovered, all eff
forts to extinguish it were useless,
and it quickly spread over a space
of nearly three miles square. Dur
ing the conflagration the soldiers
put many lame and dscrepit persons
to the sword to prevent their being
burned to death "a proceeding
which would seem at least curious
in any country but The Mikado's.
Thirty thousand people were rem
dered homeless. The government
opened its storehouses and supplied
with rice all who applied for it.

The emigration from Ireland 10
the United States is on the increase,
the movement this year having
commenced earlier and being more
general than ever before. The
steamships sailing from Liverpool
and from Irish ports are crowded to
their utmost capacity, and frequent
ly twice as many emigrants as the
vessel is able to accommodate Sc
cure passages in particular steam
er. The emigrants are of a better
class than formerly, and include a
considerable number of small farm
ers and pleasant land proprietors.
Many bring with them amounts OF
capital varying from $3.50 to a,$1,-
900, to invest in land and stock in
the United States. -..-..

The Washington special of the
Enquirer says:
The very generally credited state
ment that ex Senator Hendricks
and Hon. George II. Pendleton had
declared in favor of the Cincinnati
ticket turns out, after all, to be q
mistake. To-day a letter was re
ceived by a Democratic member of
the House from Mr.. Hendricks, in
which he speaks of the nominations
at Cincinnati as a great public Ca
lamity, and declares that he can not
them. Word to the same
effect comes from Mr.. Pendleton, in
a letter TO another member.

The Northern Christian Advocate
says: alt is said that the Catholics
in Massachusetts have fifty temper
ance societies, with about 5000
members. If the Catholics take 80
much interest in this great reform,
why should not the Protestant
churches come up more fully and
resolutely to this work? The liquor
traffic is the most powerful enemy
with which the church has to con-
tend"

Grant is practical. Greeley is
theoretical. Grant is tolerant.
Greeley is intolerant. Grant trusts
absolutely only those whom he
knows to be trustworthy. Greeley
is continually being victimized by
sharpers. Grant is reserved. Gree
ley is laxative. Grant is resolute.
Greeley is yacillating. Grant re-
fleets before he acts. Greeley is
moved by impulse. Grant is mod
est in the expression of his opinions.
Greeley deems everybody fool who
does not accept his frequent vagar-
les as the products of a profound
philosophy. Grant is generous.
Greeley is selfish. In short, the
two are antipathetic, and have little
in common except personal honesty
and love of Republican liberty
under the guaranty of law. Where
they differ is precisely where Grant
is Greeley's superior.

Fred Douglass on the Cincin-
natl Nominations.

In an article in the New National
Era, of which he is editor, Fred
Douglass strenuously opposes the
Greeley and Brown ticket, and an.
nounces his intention TO give an
earnest support to the nominations
to be made at Philadelphia on the
5th of June. The article concludes
with The following forcible array OF
facts for the consideration of colored
voters: r.r. T.sz
Colored men are not so rich in
political influence and power that
they can afford at this time to throw
either away upon men who, how
ever excellent, plainly can not be
elected. We have no votes to throw
away. When we vote now, we
sh hOuld, and will, vote for victory as
well as for q great principle. The
fire is kindled for the colored child's
school-house in all the Gulf States,
the knife of the Ku Klux assassin is
ready for the threats of the colored
men of the South. Cincinnati holds
out no assurance of protection from
fire and death. In fact, the Cincin.
natl movement Wrests the colored
mans liberty from the custody OF
the nation, the only power that
cares for it, and puts it into the
hands of local governments, which
would gladly destroy it. Can any
colOred man mistake the meaning
of that plank in the Cincinnati
platform? No; the time has not yet
come to exchange old friends and
trusted nstrumentaIities for new
ones. What is an Office here OF
there in comparison with the main.
tenance of the freedom and progress
of five millions OF people, so beset
with hardships and dangers as ours
are? From the depths of our soul
we entreat every colored man to
stand firmly by the Republican flag,
and by the men that party is bound
to offer for your suffrage.

A letter from Margaret w. Camp
bell, written in Chicago, says:
Building is the order of the day
here. At the dry goods openings
no one would have guessed that a
few months ago that whole city
was reaching out arms imploringly
for help. The most extravagant
purchases were made by ladies who
reside in the city and who must be
aware of the need of economy. Ii
will take more fire than they have
yet seen to burn up the vain pride
of foolish women"

PEACEABLE SECESSION.
What Horace Greeley Thought
OF IL before and during the

What Horace Greeley ThOughI
OF II before and during ths
War.
From the N. Y. Tribune, Of Nov. 9, 1889.
1t the cotton States shall become
satisfied that they can do better out
OF the Union than in it, we insist on
letting them go in peace. The right
to secede may be revolutionary
one, but it exists nevertheless. =
y We must eve- resist the
right of any State 10 remain in the
Union and nullify and defy the laws
thereof.
To withdraw from the Union is
quite another matter; and whenev-
er a considerable section of our
Union shall deliberately resolve to
go out, we shall resist all coercive
measures to keep them in it. We
hope never TO live in a Republic
where one section is pinned to an
other by bayonets.
From the N. Y Tribune, Of Nov. 26, 1858.
If the cotton States unitedly and
earnestly wish to withdraw peace
fully from the Union, we think they
should be allowed to do so. ANY
attempt to compel them by force to
remain would be contrary to the
principles enunciated in the immor-
tai Declaration of Independence,
contrary to the fundamental ideas
on which human liberty is based"
EFrOm the N. I. Tribune of Dec. IT, 1860.
'If it (the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence) justifes the secession
from the British empire of three
millions of colonists in 1875 we do
see why it would not justify the
secession of five millions of South
rons from the federal Union in 81.
If we are mistaken on this point,
why does not somo one attempt TO
show wherein and why? For our
own part, whilo VIC deny the right
of shareholders to hold slaves
against the will of the latter, we
cannot see how twenty millions of
people can rightfuIIy hold ten, or
five, in detested Union with them
by military force.
From the n. Y. Tribune, Of Feb. %, 1864.
We have repeatedly said. and we
once more insist, that the great
principle embodied by Jefferson in
the Declaration of Independence,
that governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the
governed, is sound and just, and
thus if the slave States, the cotton
States, or the Gulf States only,
choose to form an independent ma
tioD they have clear moral right
to do so. K x
Whenever it shall be clear that
the great body of the Southern peo-
pie have become conclusively alien
ated from the Union, and anxious
to escape from it, we will do our
best to forward their views"
