as a hope that I should live to see my
country peopled by free men alone.
‘ The aflirmauce by your Convention of
the Cincinnati Platform is a most con
clusive proof, not merely that slavery is
nbolished. but that its spirit is extinct.
Despite the protests of a respectable but
isolated few. there remains among us no
party yr formi'lnlnle interest which re
gt'ets its overthrow, or desires the re-es~
‘ tablishment of human bondage, whether
in letter or in spirit. I am, therefore,
justified in my hope and trust that the
first century of American independence
will not close before the great truths on
which itc rightfulness was based by Jef.
ferson and the Continental Congress of
'76, will no longer be regarded as glitter
ing genemlities but will have become
the univers: lly accepted and honored
foundations of our political fubric I
demanded the prompt application of
those principles to our condition. Haw
ing done what- I could for the complete
emancipation of the blacks, I now in
sist on full enfrauchisement of all my
white countrymen. Let none say that
the hand has just been removed from all
but a few hundred elderly gentlemen, to
whom elgibility of ofiice can be of little
consequence. My View contemplates
not the few hundreds proscribed, but
the millions who are desiring the right
to be ruled and represented by men of
their unfettered choice.
I have a profound regard for the peo
ple of that New England wherein I was
born. in whose common schools I was
brought up. I rank no other people
above them in intelligence; but while
they do many things well. and some ad.
mimbly, there is one thing which 1 am
sure they cannot wisely and safely nu
demke. and that is the selection for
States remote from and unlike their own
of the persons by whom those States
who" be represented in Congress. If
Ethey could do this to good purpose, the
Republican institutions were unfit. and
aristocracy would he the only true polit
ical system. Yet what have we recent
‘ly Witnessed? Zebulon B. Vance. the.
nnqnwtioned choice of a large majority
let people who voted at its election, re-
H‘used a seat in the Federal Senate to
1 which he was fairly chosen, and the
‘Legisluture thus constrained to choose
another in his stand or leave the Suite
‘nnrepresented for years. The vote of
} New Englnnd thus deprived North Caro
jline of tee senator of her choice. and
compelled her to send nnother in his
stead; another. who, in our late contest
‘wn. like Vance, a. rebel. and a fighting
rebel, but who had not served in Con~
gnu before the war as Vance bad.
’though the latter but retained as faith
fultothoUnionutilefiorhistam.
I I protest against the disfmnchisement
‘of a Suite, presumptnonsly of a num
ber of States, on grounds so mum-v and
technical as this. The fact that the
same Senate which refused Vance his
seat proceeded to remove his diuubllities
after that seat had been filled by another.
only serves to place it stronger light the
indignity of North Carolina, and the
urbitrary, eapricious tyranny .which dic
tated it.
I thank you that my mime is to be
conspicuously associated with yours in
adetermined efl'ort to render amnesty
compleze and universal, in spirit. as well
as in letter. Even defeat in such a
cause would leave no sting. while victo
ry would rank with those victories which
no blood reddens, and which evoke no
tears but those of gramuda and joy.—
‘Gent‘emen, your platform, which is 111-
so mine, assures me that Democracy is
‘not henceforth to stand for one thing
and Bepublimnism another; but that
these terms are to mean in politics, as
they always have meant in the diction
a"y, substantially one and the same
thing—--nan.ely, equal rights to all. re
gurdlcss of creed or crime or color. I
hull this as a genuine New Departure,
from outworn feuds and meaningless
contentious in the direction of progress
and reform. Whether I shall be found
worthy to bear the staudnr-j of the great
movement which the American people
have inaugurated, is to he dcterminul,
not by words, but by deeds. Its grand
array moves on to aohicve {or our coun
try hcr glorious, benefictent destiny.
I remain. gentlemen, yours.
HORALE GREELEY.
<-.->
Mrs. Davis am: Mr. : iey.
The accompanying cumnmuic-‘liun.
says the 'l‘e‘v’ty/raplc and Messenger, comes
from a. source the most unquestion
alfle:
Mr. Voorhees, in his recent attack on
Mr. Greeley, styled his signing of Mr.
Duvis’ bond “un impertiment inter
ference. " Allow me to give you the
true history of thut matter as I recently ‘
learned it in New York fmui n gentle—
men who knew all about it. Mrs. Dog
vis wet t to New York to consult (has.
O'Connor, Mr. Dnvis' counsel. as to the
host inzinnrr of effecting his release
from prison. Mr. O'Connor told her
that in his opinion there was but one
way that it could be done, and that was
to get the representative man of the
Republican pirty to sign his bond.
Mrs. Davis inquired who that man was.
He replied that it was Horace Greeley.
She than asked him if he would not see
Mr. Grreelev and get him to do it. He
replied that he had no influence with
Mr. Gleeley, and that she was the prop
pa; person to see him. She said she
would go and see him. She went to
his office, sent in her card, and was in
vited into his private ofiice. She Said
to him, “Mr. Greeley, my husband is
confined in a casement at Fortress
Monroe. He has been there for many
long and weary months. He isufee
ble old man, and is gradually sinking
under his rigorous imprisonment. He
will die if he remninsthere much long
er. I came here to consult Mr. O'Con
nor as to the means of gettiughim re
leased. He has told me there'was but
one way to do it. and that is to get the
;representative man of the Republican
party to sign his bond, and that you
iare that man. He has adused me to
3inva to you. He says that you have a
i kind hen rt and that you will do it if you
lbelieve it to be right. My husband is
Tdying, Mr. Greeley, may [hope that
l pun will favorably consider my applica
l tion? ”
Mr. Greeley arose, extended his hand
to Mrs. Duvis. and said; “ Madam vou
may, for I will sign this bond. ” Mr.
Greeley was then a prominent character
before the Legislature for the United
States Senate. Some of his friends
heard that he had agreed to sign Mr.
Davis' bond. They went to him and
protested uguinst it. They told him
that they had made a eonnt, and that he
would be elected by six majority, but
that if he signed this bond it would de
feat him. He replied “ I know it will."
They told him that he was one of the
owners of the Tribune and if he signed
‘thia bond he would loose thousands of
;subscribers He re died. “ [know it. "
‘They suid,“Mr. Greeley, you have writ
ten 1; hi~tury of the war. one volume
you have out. and have sold large num
bers of, it. "Your second volume is near
ly out, and you have large orders for
that. If you sign this bond. these or
ders will be conntennnnded, and you
will loose a large amount of money. " 1
He replied, "Gentlemen, I know it but ‘
it is right, and I will do it." He did‘
do it, and I am informed that he lost a 1
sent in the United. States Senate, and;
over thirty thousand d.vlh|rs.
To my mind. thisdoennot look like
“impertiment interference."
A PUBLIC um Punt: 01-mon
Fomey’s Press a dag or twoago be
gan bragging in this way.
Mixsouri will unquestionably befound
in November next arrayed with the
whole West on the side of Grantand
Wllson.—Philadelphia Pm.
Upon which of. Springfield Republi
can—whose editor ml in Philadelphia
“the other day, " and knows whemof
he afirms— thus lets the on! out of (he
hag :
oh, Judge Forn'ey, what is the use of
“lying " like that, when you know that
your renders know, that you are "ly
ing?" You know you didn't talk in
this absurd style when you and Ham
ley and McCirre dined together the
other day, and you and Huwley put
down the figures that elected Gree
ley beyond pet-adventure. All of this
reminds us of one of Isaac Barnes' sto
ries of the Taylor and Cass campaign.
A faithful Democratic partisan from
the count: y called just before election,
and inquired how " the thing " looked.
Said Barnes, “Do you wont my public
or my private opinion? " “Well, let
us have both. " “ Then, ” said Barnes,
“my public opinion is that. General
Cass will be elected next Monday, high
and dry. Why, he has got all these
States"——suhmitting ‘3 list of three
fonrths of the Union. will their electo
rnl figures counted upon the Cnss side
“no doubt about it sir; you can re-lie
on it sit. ” Yes. but what is your pri
vate opinion now?" “Why, my pri
vate , opinion," said Barnes, lowering
his voice below the ordinary squeal;
even; " is that the old mam will be
most. outrageously licked. " The nine
of this little story lies in its application
to Colonel Foruey.
The Sp- mglicld llvpubzivm declnres
the main significance of the Greeley
movement to be “ that the people have
grown tired of the old party lines and
issues, of old meaningless ‘ watchwords ’
and ‘war cries. ’ of old {ends and au
imosities, of the old luctics and leader
ships which are flSSc-L‘inted with these
other antiquites, uud whxch have come
’lO stand for them. "
"A Woman at the Bot
tom :57 it.”
“To tell the truth," said John Havi
hmd, as he threw his evening paper
aside, and tau: «1 the little group in the
parlor, “ I am growing out ofpatience a:
the text-' A woman at the bottom of it.'-
It would be strange In this world, made
up, as far as wé are aware, of nothing
but the two sexes if n. womun would not
occasionally be found at. the bottom of
a scrape. A wumuu. mind you, is‘never
accused of being at the bottom of any
thing that is good. It is the injustice of
the thing that makes me angry. Now
there are hundreds of us poor fellows
who owe all we have, all we are, and all
We hope to become, in this world or the
next, to the unselfish love of woumn."
'l'he gentleman’s face was flushed, and
he spoke very warmly and fltl'l), so
much so that his wife, rocking her baby
to sleep in the further corner of the
room. inquired : .
" But why should you care, John ?
It has always been so. and always will
be. We don't think much about. it now,
because we have been taught to expect it."
“ But you should care! and you should
fight for each other more than you do.-
There is one chapter in my life history
that I have always kept locked in my
heart, but to—night I feel as if it we e
my duty to open it for your inspection ;
and I do it for the love of woman vho
made me what I am—worthy to be the
husband of a good woman.”
“ Why, John." said Mrs. Haviland,
softly approaching baby still held tight
ly to her bosom-—-u You absolutely
frighten me." .
” Let's have the story." said the rest
of the group. certain that something
good might be anticipated ;. and John
commenced at first a little timidly.ibut
gaining confidence as be advanced.
“ When I first came to New York, at
the age of twelve years, to seek my for
tune, I can call myself a precocious
chap. without danger of being accused
of an unusual degree of self‘appreciat
tion. I was quick to learn everything

“ One afternoon I was sent with a note
from my employer to a house in the up

to read, but I had plenty of tobacco;
and with that I proposed to entertain
myself during the three or four hour

some distance I did not notice who were
beside me. but by and by a lady mid
very softly and pleasantly—“ Would you

" What in the world did you say ?"
interrupted Mrs. Buvfluud, her briglz‘

"Say! The was very little I could

“ Have you a mother. little boy," 8118
next asked in the same low tone.
“ No, ma'am,’ I answered, and I felt
my throat filling up. and knew that I
must swallow mighty fast to keep from
sobbing.
“ You have a. father then, I suppose?"
she kept on.
“ No, ma'am, no father."
“ Brothers and sisters ?"
" All alone, ma'nm."
" How long has your mother been
dead ?" and the dear woman looked
away from my face and waited till I
could speak.
” Two years.“ I answered.
“ And gou loved her ‘2" came next.
“Dearly," was all I could say. she
was silent for a moment, and she saizl
so sweetly—oh ! I shall never forget it.
——“ And what do you think your mother
would say-—how do you thmk she would
feel— 40 know that her little boy was
guilty ofsuch a disgusting habit as this?’ ’
pointing to my cheek where the hell tale
cud had vainly tried to stand its ground.
“ I must leave now,” she continued,
"but here is my card, and if you can
come to me most any evening. I shall
be glad to see you, and perhaps we can
be of service to each other.”
She gave me her little gloved hand.
and to my dying day, I shall never for
th the sensation of that moment. I
could not bear to part with her, without
her, I felt that I could do nothing- —with
her, I could grow to mnn's estateu—a man
in the truest sense of the word. From
flmt moment tobacco never passed my
lips.
As soon as I could muster courage, I
called upon the lady. Well doI remem
ber how my heart beat, as I waited in
the elegant parlor for her to come down,
and how awkward I felt as I followed
my guide to her private sitting room:
Here she got at every point of my life,
and before I bade her good bye it was
arranged that I should spend two even
ings each week at her home, and I mm
to read and study on these occasions
just what she thought best.
No lover ever looks forward to meet

more ardently than I did to those even
