Greeley's Radical Maligners

Tho Radical journals parado before their readers, to scure Liberal Republicana, such paragraphs as thiá, olipped from tha N. Y. Tribune of the latter months of 1800, or in the early months of 1861, and said to be from tho pea of HOKACE GREELEY: '■Whenever a considerable seotion of our Union shall delii or.itely resolve to go out, we shall resist uil ooercive measures designed to keep it in. We hope never to live in a Republio whereof one seotion is pinned to the residne by bayonets." "Weïl, suppose tht Mr. Greeley did so writo in tho interest of a Union cemented by good will, mutual inturests, affection, and lovo, as eontrasted with ono, the constitutents of whioh should bohold together by forcs, does it prove hiin in favor of sooession or a traitor ? To consent to soparation whon askpd for and desired by eix, soven or a dozen States, vras noither favoring or advomiting it An expression in favor of an amicable arraugement, baaed on eeparation, was not a deolaration in favor of secession or forcible separation, and when thut becamo the issue IIouace Gbkaley gave no aid to tho Oonfedoratus or the Confederaoy. Uut if these ennnciations by Mr. GbeeleY were criminal or troasonablo, and were not atoned for by kis after support of the war, what is to be Haid of sovoral of tho supporters of ÜRANT, the back bone of the Grani part. or of Guant himsolf, who negotiatod for a cominission in the Confedérate service. See proof in Ia8i woek's Arouí. Gen Butler votod ó" times for Jeff. Davis in tho Charleston Convention of 1860, knowing that secession was to fol low tho broaking up of the Democratie party, and tho elootion uf Likcoln, and promising to take tho Democraoy with him in aid of that secossion. When he failed to deliver any nuraber of the party on his contract, he turned his back upon bis Southern allies, met a sudden conversión, and has beon a zealoas "loil ist" ever sinco : this to cover his tracks and grind his own ax, Gen. Logax has a similar histcry, whioh ïnay be read in full in another column of this paper. Butler aud Looak support Grant, not Greeley. Wm. Lloyd Garrison is anothor supporter of Gbant, and Wil. Lloyd Garrison said in 183G - perhaps he was the teacher of IIorace Gkeeley : " To-day "I pronounco the American Union " league of despotism, to perpetúate whichix "a crime againxt our common humanity, and a " sin against God. " But one courso is to be pursued - one "object aimed at - one blow struck : The " North must separate from the South, and " organizo hor own institutions on the " samo busis." IIns Gahuison atonodfor his teachings and Gueeley not. One more modern " loilist," vhoso or thodoxy is unquestioned, is Lyman Tremai.nj"., li liiciil candidato for New York Congretsiaan-at-largo. Bofore the war Mr. Tremaine was a Democrat of the ButLEB-JefF. Dayis school, and whilu Horace Gheeley was writing his articles in favor of "letting ourerringbrothers depart in peace," he was thundering the samo doctrine from the platform. In a speech made, we bclieve at Albany, while State after State wassoeeding - we should gay going through the motions, for we never reoognized tho right of ono Stato to seccde without tho consent of all tho othors - ha uttorod thia language : "Traitorous ihougli it may be, I stand hcre to opposc the policy of war with the South, now, heroaftcr, and i'orevtr. ]f nftor all negoti.itions wu find thal we havo roaohea that point where we of tho North oan no longer miy to ur brethren of th(i South, nor thuSouth to thu Xorth, in tho language ot' ltntb to Nnomi, " whithtr thou goest Í will go, and where thou lo(igKt I will lodge - thy people fhall bo niy pooplo, and tby Ood my God ;" if, I repeat, we havo reaohed tbat point in our history, evtn tbtn I wonld siiy, ' Spare tbc lilcod of my brethren ; let us part in pcace; feaeeably distótct the Canfedi ranyi' and no part of the responsibility shn.ll rust on us." If Greeley's uttorances through tb:; Tribune were traitorous or troMonable, huw much loss were thoso of TkkmaineV And brts'l'i'.KM.ü.vK brought forth fruit meet for rápentenos more thau Ghkei.ey ? Not uniese support of Gram' is the solo and only test. Airain : the model Tt.'vdicvl just now ij Oen. Joilff A. DlX, aBBBCKSNBIDOX D inoerat in 1860, supporter of LlKOOLN in 1884, a Joiixsos-ized Republican of 1Ö6G, promotor of tha Cinoinnati Conventiyn ; a man who has inade inore politioal rlops than any othcr polititian of note; tho man whö wrofco - oithw irotn h8 own inspiration or BTÁHTON'S dictation, wc oare not vhich, - " If any man attempts to haul down the American llsii? shoot bim on tbe spot," and now " strikes hands aoross the bloody ohasm" with Mosks who fired tbe firet iun upon Sumtor and hnuled down the flag aftcr its desertion, said in Cooper Ingtitute, in 18G4 : "If thé Southern State, aftcr calm deliberation, and after oarofully considerïng all the consequences, had deeided, with the consent of the othors, and with a fu 11 renonition of tboir rosponoibiUty to tho Uiiion, to withdrüw ppitiiably from it, Uure art mwtyvfnt ittho teould Tiati prferred separation to civil war." ThatGon. Dix coupled with this doclitration a protest against thn riglit of forcible soceesicn does not mattor in the least, for GbEELEY's deolanitions in favör of latting the South go whonever deliborately determined npen, ono and all contcmplated and looked to a mutual arr ingfinont of the torms of sep.inition. Geu Dix isloil, and is tho Radical caudid.ite for Governor of the great Htate of New York. His supporters aro certainly estopped from consistent and honest denunciatiön of Greeley. We baye ono more authority, one iif;ainst whom no Kadical will dare to whiuper to liiraself words of aspersión, and yet one wbo may be responsible for the utterances of IIorace Greeley. AVd put Abraham Lincoln upon the stand. In 1848 Mr. LINCOLN said, in a speech in Congrcss : ' Any people, anywhere, being ineüned aud having the power, have tho right to rise up and shake off tho ezisiing govornmont, and foim a now one that suits them bfetter. Nor is tuis right confined to casos in whieh the wholo people of an existing government inay chooso to exereiee it. Any portion ot snch peojih that cmi, may revolationize, and inake their own of so iuuoh of the torritory as thoy inhübit. More tlian this, a majority of nuy portion of snch peoplo may revolutionize, putting down a ïninority intermingk'd with or nnr about them who may oppose their movemen ts." If Abraham LlKCOLN atoned for such teacbings did not IIohace Grbeley? And if HonAOE Grekley advocates amnesty - mother crime in Radical circlos - did not AiiKAHAM Lincoln díctate or assönt to the tering of surrendec proposed by Gens. Graxï and Siierman, terms broad and liberal and gonerous and wieo, and which have not been carried out by a Kadical Congress which has sought party interests and party perpetuation in all itslegislationtouching the South. Cortain ly IIorace Greeley has nothing to fear whon hie utterances and acts are comparad with thoso of tho Riidioal leaders and apostlo. WÉNDELt pHIÏXIFS, wbo a few moniha ago was writing from Galena to the AntiSlavery 8trndard about Gun. Ghant's " un - paid liquor billa, " has becotne a thorough convurt to Grantism, and sonuds the key noto for a third, fifth or tenth term for his hero. In a recent speech to a Bepub licun meeting at Republican Lynn iu Repnfettcan ilassachusotts, he closed by saying : " Long live Ulysses S. Grant. "May he cotUiniie to he l'resirfad of the " United Statte "n'i!, eterywhitt man, oter "forty yeam of ag who lires South of Ma" on and IJUon's line ha been forceer jut " mto the ground" As Wendell PhilLirs has for many years kept only a fow steps in advanco of the Republican party, it ia safa to say that what he enunciatod but last week at Lynn may be declared by authority in due time. There may, thorefore be moro truth than fietion in the eeemingly wild prediction mado at different times by difïorent persons, - suppoïed to be croakers rather than prophots, - that Grant will be the last President of the United States. - That Mr. PiiiLi.irs spoko the views af his auditors it is only necessary to add that ho was loudly applauded. The Conrier last week vouchod again for Judge Cooley and Col. Grant, who ought to return that Journal a vota of thanks for keeping thom beforo the public. The only point in its article worthy of notice is the concluding sentence : " What we have said on this subject wo have said voluntarily." We are glad of this. Volunteer evidonce is not always tho best or most reliable, but tben it givos U3 pleasuro to know that no ono is rosponsible for the C'ouriur'i mis-statements but itself. Wo fearod it might be impelled by partisan interests ora partisan committee, and tbat its certificates of charactor were of the kind patent modicinomen get and publishto tho world. Enough said. We have just a word to Bay to the County Oonvention to meet on Tuosday noxt. It is this : Nomínate a fit ticket. Let evory man selected for a place on it - from Senator to Coroner - possess tho requiaifee qualifications to discharge the duties which an eleotion may impose upon bim. Eaoh offico has its special requireinents. A man may make a good Sheriff or Trcasurer, etc., and be a failure as a legislator, and tice versa. Addod to special qualifications and fiuiess, let eaoh candidato have a reputatiou as a man and citizen above reproach or attack. With these two primary points attended to, and a fair local distribution of candidates, wo shall be ready to enter the contest and win victory. A-N article iu auother column frora the Erie (Pa.) Obsercer - "How Grant Mon are Made" - has a littlo local interest. The Johnson just appointed - for "good eonduct" we presumo - to a lieutenancy iu the regular aruiy ia tho man who shot young Kane, wbom the Obsereer erroneously defignatns a a fellow student.
