John S. Bigby Upon the Political Situation. New nax, (r v., Aug. Gth, 1872. llox. W. \Y r . Me Hit ell, yjear A7r;—l have the honor to acknowledge ilie receipt of your letter ot‘ the 31st ultimo, asking for my views on the living political issues of the day. Recognizing your right to call Upon me, as your Congressional Representative, for an expression of my opinions, as well as being most de sirous to gratify the wish of one whose good will I very greatly value, I now place them at your disposal. The nomination of Horace Greeley by the Democrtic party, for the high est ollice in the gift of the American people, presents a strange anomaly in the history of party policy. He* has been all of his life in diametrical oppo sition to all of their principles and measures. It certainly indicates a wonderful revolution in their political faith. That it is so appears incredible. Well has it been said that, “truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.” A few months ago, who could have be lieved that the proud and time-honor od Democracy would now have been marching under th.'„ flag of their life time enemy ? Wno could have thought that their chosen leader in a great Pres idential contest would have been the editor of the New York Tribune? To the curious it might be an interesting boidy to learn how these antagonistic forces were brought together—how this unnatural result was accomplish ed. lias Mr. Greeley changed or mod died his opinions in any manner wliat orer? Charles Sumner, who seems to be the authoritative exponent of his views, and one of the ablest champi ons of his cause, says that he has not. He declares that Mr. Greeley is now the same Intense , uncompromising , progressive radical that he has al ways been, standing fixed and immov able upon the doctrine ofabsolute eq uality of lights and social privileges, and that the Democrats have gone to him. 1 quote from his recent letter: “It is idle to say that Horace Greeley and the Republicans that nominated him, are any less Republican because Democrats unite with them in support of cherished principles, and the can didate who represents them. Con versions are always welcome, and not less so because the change is in a mul tidude, rather than an individual.— * * : Accepting the Republican plat form, which places the equal rights of all under the safeguard of irreversible guaranties, and at the same time ac cepting the nomination of a life-time Abolitionist, who represents pre-em inently the sentiment of duty to the colored race, they (the Democrats) have set their corporate seal to the sa cred covenant. They may continue Democrats in name, but they are in reality Republicans.” In this same letter to some of the colored citizens of the District of Columbia, Mr. Sum ner adds: “I am so much of a Repub iiean, that I wish to see in the Presi idential Chair a life-time Abolitionist.” And with the view of placing the rad icalism of Mr. Greeley beyond all cav il, he says: “In the organization of Lis Administration and in the conduct of allairs, Horace Greeley will naturally lean upon those, who represent best the great promises made of equal rights and reconciliation at Cincinnati. It'Democrats are takeit it will be as Republicans in heart, recognizing the associate terms of the settlement, as an irreversible finality. This is poor comfort for those mem bers of the Democratic party, who are expecting encouragement in the shape of Federal patronage, in case the Cin cinnati nominee is elected. Air. Sum ner subtantially announces that pro vision must first be made for .the Cin cinnati soreheads. The announce ment need not however, cause any trouble, for it is not remotely proba ble that I lorace Greeley will ever be elected President of the United States. If the Democratic party is prepar ed to .give Horace Greeley its undivi ded support, then, indeed, has the con version of which ’Air. Sumner speaks actually taken place. In the course of a long and distinguished editorial ca reer, lie has permitted no opportunity to pass without erupting the vials of his wrath upon the Democratic party. In his condemnation of their princi ples he has known no bounds—in his denunciation of their practices he has impoverished the domain of billings gate. lie has left unemployed in the expression of his utter abhorenee of their meassures and policy no mean phrase, no vulgar term, no coarse ep ithet, no keen irony, no withering sar casm. His anger has known no res pite, his wrath no cessation. He has not only denied them all virtues, but imparted to them all manner of crimes. I will content myself with giving only one or two extracts from the Tribune to sustain my declarations. I quote : “Point wherever you please to an election district which you will pro nounce morally rotten, given up in great part to debauchery and vice, whose voters subsist mainly by keep ing policy-offices, gambling-houses, grog-shops and darker dens of infamy, and that district will be found at near ly all or quite every election giving a majority for that which styles itself the “Democratic” party. Take all the haunts of debauchery in the laud, and you will find nine-tenths of their master spirits active partisans of that same Democracy. AVhat is the in stinct, the sympathetic chord which attaches them so uniformly to this party ? Will you consider T saio the other day a suggestion that 1 would probably be the best Democratic candidate to run against Gen. Grant for President. I thought that about the most absurd thing 1 ever heard or read. If the Demo cratic party were called upon to de cide between Grant and myself, 1 , know that their regard for what they \ must call principle would induce CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1872. nine tenths of them to vote against me. If hy f lam a decided enemy °J that party, even in its most re spectable aspects." In the very nature of things could a wise and good Administration be expected from Mr. Greeley, when ac cording to his own declaration, lie hates, even in its most respectable as pects, tbe party upon which he would have to rely to sustain his measures ? Could such an illegitimate connection produce other than a spurious is-ue ? Mr. Greeley’s record has not been one to inspire the confidence of his countrymen. In great emergencies ho is singularly unreliable and he has shown asfonshing facility in trimming his sails to suit the breeze. Iu 18GI when the question of secession was hanging in doubtful scale, lie threw all of the great influence of the Tri bune upon the side of secession, and thereby made it a success. Said he : “What I demand is proof that the Southern people really desire separa tion from the Free States. Whenev er assured that such is their settled wish I shall joyfully co-operate with them to secure the end they seek.” “Whenever any considerable sec tion of this Union shall really insist on getting out of it, we shall insist that they be allowed to go, and we feel as sured that the North generally cher ishes a kindred determination.” “We could not stand up for coer cion, for subjugation, for we do not think it would be just,. Wc hold the right of self-government sacred even when evoked in behalf of those who deny it to others. So much for the question of principle.” “But if even ‘seven or eight States’ send agents to Washington to say, “We want to go out of the Union,” we shall feell constrained by devotion to human liberty to say, let them go ! And we do not see how we could take the other side, without coming in di rect conflict with those lights of man which we hold paramount to all polit ical arrangements, however convenient and advantageous.” “If the Cotton States shall decide that they can do better out of the Union than in it, we insist on letting them go in peace.” “We have repeatedly said and we once more insist, that the great princi ples embodied by Jefferson in the Dec claration of American Independence, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov erned, is sound and just; and that it the slave States, the Cotton States, or the Gulf States only choose to form an independent nation, they clear right to do so.” Paragraph after paragraph of like or even stronger import might be given to show the influence lie wielded to induce the Southern States to secede, but the foregoing will suffice. His best efforts were employed in behalf of secession. But no sooner had the people of the South done what he de dared they had the unquestionable moral right to do, than he turned up on them with a most savage ferocity, and demanded their complete destruo tion. Nothing short of it would sat isfy him. Said he :“ We hold trait ors responsible for the work upon which they have precipitated us, and we warn them that they must abide the full penalty. * * * The rebeJs of that State (Virginia) and Maryland, may not flatter themselves that they can enter upon a waragainst the gov ernment and afterward return to qui et and peaceful homes. They choose to play the part of traitors and they must suffer the penalty. The worn out race of emasculated first families must give place to a sturdier people whose pioneers are now on their way to Washington, at this moment, in regiments. An allotment ot land in Virginia would be a fitting reward to the brave fellows who have gone to fight their country’s battles.” As time advanced he grew more savage. Hear him : “But, neverthe less, we mean to conquer them—not merely to defeat, but to conquer, to subjugate them—and we shall do thie the most mercifully’the more speedi ]y we doit. But when the rebellious traitors are overwhelmed in the field and scattered like leaves before an an row wind, it must not be to return to peaceful and contented homes.— They must find poverty at their fire sides, and see privation in the anxious eves of mothers and rags of children.’ Growing more furious, he said : “ Let the soldier understand that he is enrolled to fight a parcel of knaves, all liable to indictemeut, trial, sen tence and execution —men who ha\e wickedly disturbed the peace of the world without provocation men with whom no terms are to be made—Dick Turpins, who call them selves Generals, and Captain Kyds, who call themselves commanders. A thief is a thief-—a liar is aliar a per jurer is a perjurer ; and every South ern traitor,who is morally responsible, is all three together. Pray, do not let us have auy more talk about ou.i “ misguided Southern brethren ! ’ there is one thing which Southern success cannot compass, and that is an oblivion, in history and tradition of the Trauds, felonies aud falsehoods with which the ignominous enterprise began. These traitors are outside the world’s respect forever. Neither in its inception nor in its progress has the thing been respectable. There has been too much vulgar dishonesty, like that of gamblers, footpads and pickpockets, about it.” I ask the honest advocates of seces si on how they like this plain English of Mr. Greeley. But he does not stop here. Said he : “ The people, whose Constitution and Union are at stake? will tolerate in their rulers any thing necessary to preserve them. They will torgivc them for doing almost any act tending to this end. But they will not excuse them for hesitation timid ity, blundering, nor, especially for do ing or not doing anything through fear of hurting, of despoiling or even exterminating /Southern traitors, or of offending their secret coadjutors in the North, and their open apolo gists in the Southern States.” If language means anything tha; proves Mr. Greeley to be a despot, and ready, whenever in his opinion the occasion requires it, to usurp and g|e arbitrary and dictatorial powers. At the outset he advocated seces sion. But in a short time he azes about and exclaims : “ 'We utterly deny, repudiate, and condemn the pre tended right of secession. No such right is known to our Federal Consti tution, nor, in fact, to any civilized framework of government. No such right was reserved, or supposed to be reserved, when the States ratified or adopted the Federal Constitution.” What an inconsistent character is here presented ! I appeal to the honest voters of this country to know if they can give their support to a man who conceded to them a rights encouraged them to exercise it, and when, acting upon his advice, they dared to do it, he immediately turned upon them, and raged for not only the destruction of their until their privations might be seen in the “ anxious eyes of their mothers,” and the “ rags of their children,” but their own absolute extermination. Thus far I have given you the por trait of Horace Greeley a3 painted by his own hand. I will now present it as it comes from the hand of a master artist, one who lias enjoyed in a large measure the confidence of his party, and has exercised a potential influence in shaping its measures and policy.— Hon. D. \V. Voorhees, whose elo quent voice and charming oratory wins admirers whenever and wherever heard, in his late Terre Haute speech, referring to his nomination, said: !“ You can hardly imagine, therefore, the feeling with which 1 saw certain uncertain newspapers hauling down Democratic names at their mast-heads, and placing in their stead the name of one who has more fairly earned and more fully enjoys the hostility and aversion of the Democratic party, than any other man in the United States * * * Por thirty years, commencing far back when these gray heads before me were black and young, and con tinuing until within the last three weeks, there has been no form of coarse, brutal and infamous assault which Horace Greeley has not made on the Democratic party in the aggre gate and in detail, eu masse and indi vidually- llis malevolence has been unceasing, unsparing and universal.— He has raged every where tor objects of his hatred and vindictive abuse. * * * But let us make a still closer ex animation of Air. Greeley as a proposed candidiate. Ido not object to him a s a Republican candidate. lie is the best embodiment of the principles of radicalism now living. ** * He was a violent republican when Grant was a Buchanan Democrat in St. Louis. 1 commend Greeley, therefore, to his own party, but how eau mine support him t Sometimes a man is support ed for a small office on purely person al grounds, simply because he is an amiable and worthy man, with g;ood qualifications for the position. Such motives alone, however, never gov erned the choice of President, who, to a vast extent, shapes the whole pol icy cf the government for weal or woe. There is nothing, hovever, in Air. Gree ley s .personal traits, and peculiarities to commend him for the high position to which he aspires. On the contrary, a man personally more unfit to fill the office of Cliief Alagistrate of this mighty Government was never men tioned in connection with it; but, when distinguished gentlemen are mentioned in connection with that i lofty station, their principles deter mine the suffrages of an enlightened people more than anything else. Tried l>y this standard Horace Greeley ir resistiblv repels every Democrat in the United States. What is he for, and what is he against at this time ? One of the living issues that has been be fore Congress during the whole of the jiresent session, is Mr. Sumner’s Civil Rights bill. It establishes by law and enforces with heavy penalties of fine, damages, and imprisonment, the abso lute and unqualified equality of the blacks with the whites,in every school* house, seminary, college, church, tav ern, boarding house railroad car, steamboat, theatre, circus, stage-coach in the United States. * * * Mr. Gree ley warmly indorses this measure. * * Mr. Greeley is so much in favor of the principles which it contains that with in ten days after his nomination he went into a negro church at Pough keesie, N. Y. and there declared them as his own, with especial emphasis in behalf of mixed sehoojs.” “ In the same speech Mr. Voorhees said: “ But is success possible with Greeley if his election depends on the votes of the Democratic party ? Can any one who knows the history of this grand party seriously think so ? I think 1 understand the heart of the laboring people who compose the great majority of the Democratic par ty, and 1 hazard nothing in saying that even if Mr. Greeley should be nominated at Baltimore, and every Democrat of distinction, whether in public or private life, from one ocean to the other, should support him, he would not receive an average of more than fifty per cent., of the Democratic votes of the United States. This las firmly believe as I do that the sun will rise to-morrow, and if the mad ness and folly of the hour shall con surnate his nomination, I am trilling my judgment may be tested hereafter, -by the record I make here to-night.” Upon the question of mixed schools, Mr. Greeley, previous to his Rough keepsie speech, defined his position. On the 9th of March 1870, he took the Tennessee Constitutional Conven tion to task in this manner. Said he : “ The Tennessee Solons in Constitu tional Convention assembled, have de cided that the white and black chil dren of the State shall have separate schools, and tutors of different shades of color. Since the familiar associa tion of black and white children at home is wholy unrestricted, is not their separation in school rather a ridiculous provision ? And in view of tlie fact that this class distinction engenders in early youth that bitter antagonism between the two races which endangers the peace of society, is not the provi sion an exceedingly unwise one.” I would like to know how this view of Mr. Greeley, upon this very im portant question, affects the minds of those who have always entertained such positive dislike for the doctrine of social equality. Here it is, pure and simple, avowed by the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention. If they can support Mr. Greeley with the Platform upon which he stands, con strued as Mr. Sumner, his intimate friend, “ born ” as he says “in the same year," and ardent supporter, and no doubt authoritative exponent of his opinions, construes it, they ought never again in this life to utter a murmur against social equality. Im partial history will enter judgment by confession against them. Os all public men North there is probably no one who has pursued the South and Southern people with more vindictive hate than Horace Greeley. No one has manifested more unrelenting ill-will, more gangrene malignity, more chronic venom than he. In his insatiate thirst for a vic tim he singles out Georgia, our own honored Commonwealth, and seeks to hold her up to the contempt and scorn of mankind for what he is pleased to term the illiteracy and ignorance of her people. In the Tribune of June 28t'i, 1871, he belches forth the fol lowing slanderous and libellous charge: u lt may surprise many people to be told that in Georgia, one of the most enlightened of the Southern States there are not less than sixty thousand native adult whites who cannot read or write. Not oriiy is the native white population grossly ignorant "but a strange prejudice exists against common schools. When we consider that the great bulk of the colored pop ulation has been purposely kept in mentu|J darkness, we can understand something of the depressed state in which education now exists in the South.” What occasion was there for him in this manner to insult and traduce the good people of this State, as well as of the whole South ? If he does not know that in point of intelligence the adult white population of this State, will compare favorably with those of any other State in theUuion, he is not lit to be President. I can attribute bis wicked crusade against Georgia to no cause save a malignant desire to wage an unprovoked and unending war upon the feelings,habits ami usages of her people. And yet, we are invited by the opposition to look upon Mr. Greeley, as the very incarnation of magnimitv, the soul of good will. I say he has written his own biogra phy correctly, he is now a novice in these Christian virtues. I approach another question to which the honest voters of this conn try would like for Mr. Greeley to make answer. The utterance of such a sen timent transcends in infamy anything known in the annals of human deprav ity. If he is innocent, let him speak, else he stands convicted of the charge, lion. James Lyons, an honored son of Virginia and distinguished Demo' crat, in his powerful letter to Mr Griffith, after enumerating many of the defects and vices of his character, adds : “Horace Greeley is stained by another, which is far more detestable to me, which makes it as impossible for me to vote for him as to denounce my wife and daughter. If there ever lived on earth, in Sparta or in Paradise, a race of pure, spotless, heroic women, the women of the South are such. They gave their husbands and sons, their homes and altars, and almost every hope of earthly happiness, to their country and her cause, and be cause they did so this Demon of the Tribune uttered and published in his paper, as I am credibly informed, and the proof of it will be exhibited, the following false aud infamous libel upon them : “The women ot the South, nursed by blacks, filled with animal passion, inbibe it from their nurses and on ar riving at the age of pubetry, immedi ately manifest a desire to graify sensu ality.” Was ever before, by any mortal or immortal demon such ahatelul thought expressed ; such concentrated venom poured out ? ” But it is said that Mr. Greeley has favored Amnesty, and, therefore, ought to be surpported. Upon this there is but small reason for comfort. Ilis advocacy of Amnesty has always been upon terms absolutely repugnant to those for whom it was intended. He has al ways coupled it with impartial suffrage hereby making it odious to those under political disabilites. Mr. Voor liees says that his advocacy of Amnes ty in the manner he proposed it, “ forms a small margin on which to claim the support of the Southern peo ple in behalf of the man, who more than all others in the history of the Government brought calamity, ruin, woe, and death upon them.” In addition to the foregoing con siderations, Mr. Greeley is entirely un fitted for the office of President by reason of his want of discretion, pru deuce and temper, lie is petulant, quarrelsome and vindictive. He inis been all of bis life erratic, fickle and visionary. He is singularly gullible, and easily deceived. One who knows him well thus tersely describes what Ids Administration would be in the event of Lis election : “This advent to power would stimulate all the worst tendencies of the day, and those which make most strongly against reform, contempt for training, and for experi enoe of all kinds; faith in blatherskite and bawling as instruments of human regeneration; disregard of character as a social or political force; farcical views of government and legislation; recklessness and indifference to de tails in Administration; and that sub tle but never-the-less potent hinder ance to civilization which consists in the cultivation of grossness and vul garity of manners as things, in them selves, desirable.” T believe this to be a just estimate of his character, and, therefore, regard him unqualified to administer the affairs of a great Government. To place the destinies of forty millions of people in the hands of such a man will, be an ex tremely hazardous 'experiment. And this is not the time for experiments - The ational Executive should be a sound ana a safe man. The onward march in all our material and substau tial interests must experience no check. The great work of the country’s re liabili-lation which is so rapidly effac ing all of the desolations of war must suffer no abatement. Upon President Grant, we can rely with implicit confidence. He has been tried, and the Nation, under his rule, has attained an unexampled pros perity. Viewing it in whatever as pect you may, his Administration has been a great success. His financial policy lias excited the wonder and challenged the administration of the ablest financiers in the world. The wisdom of that policy is a powerful argument in favor of continuing his Administration. Since the 4th of March 1869, the time at which he en tered upon the duties of the Presiden tial office, the reduction of the Nation al debt has been going on. At no time has it appeared spasmodic, but {Concluded on Fourth Page.) Carroll Masonic Institute, CARROLLTON, GA. 3laj. Jno, M.
