HORACE GREELEY OF SEW YORK.
For Vice President,
IS. CB.VTZ BBOWJf, OF MISSOURI.
TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1872.
The Sew York World vs. Mr. Greeley. The New York World, in its personal hostility to Mr. Greeley, makes a point apuinst liis fitness for the Presidency from the fact that bis letter of acceptance is to well and ably written. Perhaps this is as reasonable an objection as any it has ur^ed, but still it will not strike the mind of an unprejudiced person as a very convincing one. To support the position that Mr. Greeley writes too good English to be President, the
World sights the remarkable fact, that had I lie late Dean Richmond been nominated for the Presidency during his lifetime, lie would not have been able to write 14s letter of acceptance, but would have been compelled to employ the pen „fa talented clerk to do it for him, and suggests that Mr. Greeley could have performed the duty of that clerk most admirably. 15 it in order to make the objection, that he who is master oft ie language lie speaks, and writes it with unparalleled purity, ought not, from that very fact, be promoted to exalted official positions, the distinguished editor illustrates his argument with historical references, and says that General Jackson, who was one of our most illustrious Presidents, was not able to write his own messages. We wonder that the editor thought proper to go so far back into our history, for an example. Why did he not sight the more remarkable fact that President Grant was wholly unable to write any of his messages or state papers, but they were written altogether by another. He might also have come to the logical conclusion thilt as our present Chief Executive is so wholly deficient in this particular, he has made the best and the ablest
President this country has ever had. If the premise is to be admitted, the conclusion naturally follows.
Going back to more remote history, the World says that Olliver CromweUp who was one of the greatest statesmen that ever appeared in the world, had no more literary skill than Dean Richmond. Most remarkable and astute declaration! Most sagacious and historical researching editor, how overwhelming is your argument, and conclusive are your conclusions
From all this splendid array of oal exnm/'iM tfie learned aud sincere editor of the New York World comes to the sage conclusion, that Horace Greeley knows too much to make a good President, and that he writes too good English to be trusted. Had he secured the services of the editor of the World as a "talented clerk" to write his letter of acceptance for him, this objection, at least, might have been spared him.
ToShvw how much the editor of the World is at fault, when he infers that he who writes bis vernacular with great purity and richness, is thereby unfitted to fill the most exalted positions, we have but to take a school boy's glance at history. Cicero wrote and spoke his native tongue with unparalleled perfection, and yet Cicero has been regarded, for more than two thousand years, asagreat statesman, finrk and the Pitto wrote the English language correctly and elegantly, and England lias produced but few who excelled them in the art of statesmanship. In our own time, one Daniel Webster is supposed to have written good English, and to have possessed the proper kiud of ability to have made a good President also. But although General Jackson was a good President and wrote bad English, still Thomas Jefferson, it is thought, was able to write elegantly, and lie is regarded by most of men to have been an able aud efficient President of these United States. But illustrations to disprove so ridiculous an objection as the one urged by the editor of the World, become them-elves almost ridiculous. It must be apparent to all men, that he who would urge such objections to Mr. Greeley being elected President, is either very shallow-brained himself thinks his reader are, or is impelled by the m»t intense personal hatred. If the former, lie should not attempt to write on any subject if the other, hfe is mistaken and if the la®t, he should remain silent until lie gets iu a good humor.
It certainly should not be regarded as HU objection to the election of Horace Cireeley that he writes better English than auy of his eotemporaries. It certainly should b^no objection to him that he possesses greaWJterar.v ability—King Solomon wrote someS^ the finest poetry ever written by the petr*^man. It certainly should be no obiectid^to him that he is master of the language JJfe^peaks— Julias Csesar wrote his commentaries. The history of the world is filled ^t$h examples where great statesmen werfe great writers, but there is only one example where it has been urged, that because a man is a great writer, he cannot thereby be a great statesman.
Had the Cincinnati Convention nominated Charles Francis Adams, and placed him upon the precise platform of principles which the Convention did adopt, the New York World -would have and to-day would be an
•vbeen happy,
ardent advocate of the ticket. Bat a rival journalist was nominated, and there is jijst where the shoe pinches the sensitive.toes of the editor of the World. He has often felt the thrust of the Damascus blade which flashed bnce a day from the Tribune office, and the sores have become gangreen and will not heal. Like some other men scattered ail over the country, the editor cannot forgive the man who has overthrown him in legitimate argument rendered him hors du combat in many a tilt with ink and pen, and exposed to the world his ignorance, malice, and partizau duplicity. It is difficult for poor human nature to forget these things, we confess, but there are times in the affairs of men when it must be done and if the able editor of the New York World will now just make up his mind to attempt this higher reach in Christian forgiveness, he will find, after it is all over and be has succeeded, that he is a better, wiser, more consistent, and a happier man.
A WASHINGTON dispatch to the Chicago Post says that Congressman Brooks, of New York, declares that three-fourths of the Democrats favor Greeley, and that he will be supported in the Baltimore Convention by three-fourths of the States. He expects that Voorhees and thirty or forty others will withdraw if the Convention nominates Greeley. Voorhees says Greeley will be so unpopular by the time the Convention meets that auy attempt to bring up his name will be laughed at. Voorhees' speech is regarded in Republican circles as the precursor of the breaking up of the Democratic party.
MONTGOMERY BLAIR is out in a letter advocating the election of Greeley. He says it must be Greeley or Grant, and he prefers Greeley. He also says that the dodge of running in a straight Democrat between Greeley aud Grant won't win.
From the Dublin (Ireland) Irishman, May 11. America's Future President. The name of Horace Greeley is one which, we trust, will soon be familiar to the world as the name ot' the President of the United States.
When, a short time since, the question was mooted as to what individual should be the chosen candidate for the White House, he was not mentioned. Nevertheless, the name of Horace Greeley suggested itself to our thoughts, as that of a citizen eminently worthy of being selected to preside over the destiuies of the great Republic. For many years his labors have been before the public, and, so far as our observation permitted, they have shown a singular adherence to just principles aud been of great advantage to the twin causes of freedom aud humanity.
Therefore, it has given us no slight pleasure to find from a recent telegram that upon him the nomination of the Cincinnati Convention has fallen. This selection does credit to the Republican party, which has preferred him to Grant, and will be found generally acceptable we hope, by the whole mass of our countrymen in the States.
Horace Greeley deserves well of Ireland. He stood by our cause, the cause of justice, in the darkest hour, wheu an artificial famine ravaged the land, and freedom was driven from our shores. From that chivalrous fidelity to oppressed justice we have never found him to swerve. Conscious of the wrongs of our country, he desired tbeir redress. Knowing the infinite good of freedom, its spirit of beneficence influenced his own with sympathies not limited by boundaries of States, he earnestly sought to extend to other lands and other peoples tne advantages of that liberty in which bis own rejoiced.
We regard him as the type of a true American. A Republican, he is modti©4 after the antique. Of Washington's council, he would have been, had he lived in those glorious and single-hearted times. By
h{9
upright and manly con
duct, he revives in the present the best memories of the past. Opposition he will undoubtedly have to encounter, but, we trust, from no Irish Bource. The English journals have already opened in full cry against him, and in America the agents of England will labor to impede him. America abounds in wealth but that high prestige which once encircled her name has been abased. Be it given to Horace Greeley to exalt it again, and to render anew the name of the Republic of the West a word to thrill mankind, the synonym of liberty without license, of lofty honor and Spartan virtue, as it was iu the days of the Great Tribune.
THE reason why England can sell us her products cheaper than we can make them in many cases are two first, her coal and iron are in closer proximity, and hence the cost of production is reduced secoud, the wages paid to the great mass of workingmen in Euglaud is much less than is paid to them in the United States. England has 110 right to starve her working classes by a free trade system, in order to keep her trade, nor has she the right to compel the manufacturers of America to pay a similar low rate of wages to the mechanics of this country by forcing free trade upon them. Free trade is only another way for forcing the working people of this country to take low wages, and to let the benefits which high wages would confer go into the pockets of English iron masters.
If England paid American wages she could uot sustain free trade three months. It is because she grinds cheap labor out of her men, women and childreu, that she can undersell us.
Her free trade system is a 11 outrage upon humanity. It sacrifices the well being of her work people to sustain it. It is only because she has a superabundant population that she can sustaiu it. All must have work to live, so her manufacturers can reduce wages to the lowest limits aud the men engaged do uot dare strike or quit because there are so many others ready to take their place.
Little children work and trudge hard all week and earn only four shillings per week.
Recently in the iron trades the workingmen have been euaWed to exact better wages because of the greatly increased quantity of work to be ne. But if all this actually drops off it gives the employer his old advantage. The principle of wages is not permanent iu England. It will last only as long as the activity la^ts and then the power of the men to dictate wages decreases in in proportion as the number of idle men increases. A positive protection policy is stronger than all other means to secure good wages and is the only permanent one.—Iron JjTorld.
ON our secoud page this morning will be found the speech delivered by Hon. Dan. W. Voorhees, at Terre Haute, on Saturday evening last. Mr. Voorhees is a man of ability, and, inasmuch as he has assumed to lead that element of tbe Democratic party which will demand at Baltimore a "straight" ticket, his speech may be looked upon as the essence of a 1 tbe arguments to be presented in that behalf. Aside from an enunciation of Democratic principles as detiued five years ago, a recital of personal devotion, and a few pleas as specious as thqy are ill-timed, there is nothing in it save appeals to prejudices and hates which should be permitted to die. Mr. y. is not aloae in bis clesife far a Democfrftic ti ig-f
President. We are somewhat inclin that way ourselves, but we arecompelb to admit that we differ with the gentleman upon questions of expediency^ It strikes U3 that Mr. Voorhees maizes a mistake in arraigning Mr. Greeley upon his record of ten years ago. Someuew issues have arisen since then, if we have been correctly informed.— Cin. Enquirer.
MR. VOORHEES is saicLto be in favor of the nomination of $Ir. Groesbeck at Baltimore. Mr. Groesbeck is a much better Democrat than Judge Davis, who is understood to have been Mr. Voorhees' first choice. He is, however, quite liberal in his views aud inclined to accept the results of the war. It is quite a con cession upon the part of a man so thoroughly devoted to principle as Mr. Voorhees to signify a desire to follow the leadership of a War Democrat.— Owetnnati Enquirer.

That peerless beautifier of the complexion not only height ens natural charms, but renders even the plainest countenance exceedingly attractive.

It smooths the furrows caused hy time or care, aud gives face, neck and arms the plump and engaging appearance of youthtul beauty All this is accomplished by the most 11a tural means, viz: by gently and naturally stimulating the circulation in the capillary blood vessels. Besides being the most effectual aid to beauty known to modern science.

CARPETS.
Our recent onslaught upon the Carpet trade caused a decided sensation. We •have riteref seen a more compleW success. Within 24 hours af^er we had announced oar prices to the public, our Carpet room was crowded with customers, and eaeb week our sales of these goods have continued to increase.
It is the Hit Bird that Flutters!
This accouuts for the fluttering anionj? our comjtetftors. They got their backs up at once and rushed into print to tell tlie people that they.had redfleed their Carpets to the price of ours. The people answered,."We jdoij't believe you, and even if you have, Foster Brother? compelled you to lovrer your prices, or you would never have done it. We propose to »ive'our patrouage to (he merchants whose prices are so low that they have never had to reduce them to meet the prices of other stores."
THE "AMBULACE RIDER" BACKED DOWN!
HE HAKES A»T L\GLORIOU» FIZZLE!
His "Hand Loom" and "Family" Carpets Prove to toe a Humbug!
Knowing, as we did, that his "Hand Loom" Carpets, for which,he was charging $1.40 and $1.50, were exactly the goods that were selling at $1.20 and $1.25» and that his so-called "Family" Carpets at $1.00 were the satpe as our 85c goqd§, we submitted to him four distinct challenges on the subject, which he has not dared to accept.
The brief campaign of the past few weekb has placed us
AT THE HEA1) OF THE CARPET TRADE!
WE PROPOSE TO KEEP IRE LEAD!
We shall do it by offering to the public ouly well known brands of Carpetq, aud by always representing our goods to be just what they are. As we shall Jceejj) no makes of Carpets to which the manufacturers are ashamed to put their names, it.will never, become necessary for us to dub any of them "Finger Looms" or "Family Frauds."
