Besides, I 1 consider Greeley a secession can didate, I believe the plot to nomi- 1 nate him was hatched by Southern white rebels more than a year ago, 8 and has been mainly -nursed by a them. I advise any one who means jh to vote for him to find out first d what agreements have been made p by Mr Greeley's friends with Jeff. i Davis and h!is staff, as to oftice and i" patronage. I am perfectly certain s1 that there is a distinct mutual un- G derstanding, if not a positive con- bl tract, between them. If Greeley enters the White tI 1 House, Jeff Davis Will be as tr nly c d, part of the administration as Bew- cc ard was in Lincoln's day. No ne- m gro can vote for Greeley who val- ea ues his life or property, or cares 9l for his race.. If, by frown of Prov- "' idence, he is elected, I shall advise t1" every Southern loyalist to load the an revolvers that'. Grant's arrest of North Carolina Ku-Klux has al- a lowed to be laid aside. If he is i1 elected, let the negroes live in fai squads of fifty, who.no coward will do dare shoot down, and show no of property after sunset.

Many will qnes- '1 tion the prudence of his course, andt sn: ito the multitude of small politicials who Ilcl Ib' can never -understand why a man of its w- courage acts courageously,' are very ie- much puzzled to account for it. The . al- explanation, as I believe, is the same sp es giveu the other day for Senator Sum- she ner's demonstration against the pocket treaty. Mr. Bird is brought to bay, I and will no longer be driven along the vild path of submission and compromise, coin of which the Massachusetts Republicans the are now huably following. Mr. Bird and is is a Grceley man, but if the Democrats It in fail to take up H. G. at Baltimore he cisi ill does not expect him to be a candidate and i0o of any strength,' and the speech may cutt 3n fairly be interpreted as saying to the plat ill Massachusetts Democrats that if they and. 1y nominate a good "man of their own, siral al Mr. Bird may support him. 0 " * al Whatever this speech may mean, it is SI certain that many of the anti-Grant -Ti k- Republicans, who will .nt vote for b ra Gi Qreeley, are prepared to vote for. ares- won of pectable man nominated by the Demo- ain crate or! any conside rable section of them. The strength of the feeling er against Greeley in this class of persons the i is much mote now than it was ten some t- days ago, when many of them were rout e- inclining to. support him. The New girmi York free-traders and other of that elosi . connection have made a stand against the I e Greeley in such a way as to strengthen The .o the anti-Greeley liberals here, and it only would not be strange if a gathering of 8o04 thes persons, such as Mr. Robinson year d suggested in his letter to Mr. Atkinson, Staft were to be held soon after the Phila- aCrd d delphia Coniintion, and to indicate a resel ,e man for 'whom they 'could cast their first t- votes 'In ease the Democrats or any , )f section.of thetm chose to nominate him must 's for the :Presilpecy, Suchi a move- posit 11 ent has not taken definite shape, but coW it is talked about.-[Corrsppon4ent of shore the Springfield Republican. wild Mr. Bird's Walpolo speech iq certaip to excite general attention and call out Ri a wide variety of cqrpment.
