The Committee to raise O fund to commemorate
the virtues of the late Horace Greeley, by statue
and monument in Greenwood, has been fully
organized by the appointment OF the Hon. VIM. W.
Niles Of Westchester County as Chairman, the Hon
Andrew III. Green. Controller Of the City Of New
York, Treasurer and Edmund G.. stedman, esq. OF
New-York, Secretary.
The members of the Committee, far as ap-
pointed, are at work in earnest aud with sure pros
pect of But they conscious that it does
not belong to them nor to any limited number Of
men to render adequate honor 10 whose just
fame belongs to the entire people. Horace Greeley
was prominently man Of the people; he rose from
among their ranks by industry, .frugality. and q
life of blameless purity; his example no less than
his written words will remain forever precious
legacy to the masses Of workiugmen who
actuated by the same pure ambition that which
raised him from poverty and Obscurty to the honor
able and conspicuous position in which for many
years he led the public opinion of the country.
There is nothing in his character or career which
the force of his beneicent influence. No young
man can ponder the story of his life without profit
He is one of the few public men Of our age who may
be safely held up to the imitation of the young. It
is therefore TO the people atlarge that the Committee
confidently appeal. 1t is their privilege and duty
to honor worthy the man who best represented tho
Drain ana tne conscience Ol Tue UaSSes'
This is in no sense partisan enterprise. The
Committee is composed of members of all parties,
equally proud to do honor to whose laborious
life was passed in devotion TO the general welfare
All who believe with u.s. that Mr.. Greeey's great
efforts in behalf of freedom, of emil ightenment OF
economy and of progress, have not been without
benefcent results, cordially invited to share in
this tribute to his memory. The rich cannot better
show their appreciation of the lessons of industry
and order which he taught and the poor, in giving
what slight sums they can afford, will honor their
own estate aud aspirations. 1t is not doubted thai
every editor in the country will be willing to for
ward the work, either by editorial Endorsement
or by receiving and forwarding such sums may be
raised in his locality. There is not village in the
land but contains some man who has profted by Dir.
Greeleys teachings We hope there is not one where
an effort will not be made to contribute to this eK-
preston of the national gratitude.
memorial volume will be kept containing the
names and residences of every contributor; and
upon the completion of the work will be deposited
in the Historical Society for preservation.
