Mr. Greeley and the Now
York World.
The New York Woild, which
appears to be the leading Demo
cratic paper that favors the run
ning an independent, straglit out
Democratic ticket, in opposition
to Greeley and Grant, gives as a
reason why Mr. Greeley cannot
control inam*»votes in the North,
a£.l especially among his former
liepub icati allies, that in 1864 he
“got up the peace mission to Niag
ara and advised President Lincoln
to offer $406,000,000 as compensa
tion to the Southern slave-holders,
and his subsequent signing of the
bail bond of Jefferson Davis.
While these facts may have
some weight with some Northern
war Democrats, and a portion of
tin* Republican party, we iqipre- 1
bend that they will nut deter the j
South front supporting Mr. Gree>
ley, if the Baltimore Convection
should determine that, it was tin*
best policy to put no Democratic
ticket in the lie'll. The World and
some of its followers in tlie South
seem to be very bitter against
Mr. Gn eley, and some of them go
so far as to intimate that they
would support Grant, thereby en
dorsing the present administration,
with its military rule, its iniqui
tous reconstruction, Ku-Klnx, civil
rights and enforcement acts, in
preference to the liberal move
ment which proposes to settle for
ever the sectional issues in which,
the South must always be defeated
Our opinion on this subject has
been, that the Southern States, in
which, with one or two exceptions,
there will be no contest, if the
Democracy arc united, ought to
leave the question of whether it
is best to make a nomination at
Baltimore with the Demociacy of
the North, for upon them will de
volve the great contest—the heat
and burthen of the day—and being
in daily contact with the enemy,
can better calculate the probabili
ties of success of an independent
ticket. But if the World is an
exponent of the views of the
Northern Democracy, which we do
not believe it is, on this ques
tion, and they prefer some man
more Radical than Greeley because
he can ca ry more Republican
votes, then we confess we have
misunderstood the Democratic
party North.
We can see no necessity yet for
any decided action on the part of
the Democratic putty; we will
have ample time after the Phila
delphia Convention meets and sc
lects a candidate, and before the
Baltimore Convention assembles
to review the whole situation and
determine what is best to be done.
The South has nothing to lose in
this emergency by acting with
prudence and “making haste slow
ly,’’ hut everything to gain. B >th
wings of the Republican party are
now colt ting Democratic support.
W e arc for the first time since the
war masters of the situation. Let
us keep our organization in tact;
let there be no division in onr own
ranks, but as a compact, well
organized party with three million
of voles at our disposal, be pro
pared to turn the scale in behalf
of that party which proposes to
come neatest our views of what
tho in Wrest of the country tie
mantis, or if the golden opportu
nity is offered, by taking advan
tage of the split in the Republican
party to put in some true man like
General Hancock, who will turn
the “money changers out of the
temple” who are attempting to
establish on the ruins of State sov
ereignty a centralized Government
tout ruled by a military despot,
and restore Oonstitut onal gororn
njont in which the rights of the
Statos and the white people are
respeoted,
Col. Price ami the Cadetship.
We have rocei.ed a letter from
Colonel Price, asking us to publish
so much of his letter to the Watch
man as we deemed necessary to
exonerate him from the charge of
giving the appointment to West
Point to a young man who did not
live in this district.
We have mislaid Use Watchman
containing the letter referred to,
or we would comply with the Colo
nel’s reqnott. We will, however,
state from memory auch of the
facts ;ta wo deem necessary, in ad
dition to what we have already
said upon the subject. We will
premise by saying that we have
heard tl*» subject referred to fre
quently and in no instance have
we heard any one doubt that Col.
Price bad acted in perfect good
faith in the appointment, llis ac
tion when the facts have been uii
derstood has been universally en
dorsed, so far as we have been
able to learn.
This appointment as we have
heretofore stated was given to Mr.
Thomas, of this county; it was
also tendered to Col. Bell’s son,
of Forsyth. These parties failing
to accept or secure the position,
the papers were sent to Colon I
Silinan, of Jackson county, who
tried to get some of the young
men of the Martin’s Institute to
accept; afterwards the}’ were sent
to. Mr. J. E. Kedwine, of Gaines
ville. Finally, Mr. Garlington, of
Clark county, who was certified
to be a citizen of that county by
some of her most prominent citi
zens, was given the appointment.
Col. Price states that lie did not
want to give the appointment to
Clark county, because that county
had received the appointment to
the Naval Academy. We are sat
isfied that no blame is attached to
our Representative in this matter.
He took, we think, extraordinary
pains to distribute the appoint
ments fairly, and if the facts had
been fully known, neither the Tel
egraph and Messenger or Colonel
Christy would have mentioned the
subject.

Horace Greeley.
Horace Greeley was born in
Amherst, New Hampshire. Febru
ary 3, 1811. His father, Zacchens
Greeley, was a fanner. His child
hood was clriracterized by eager
ness, as well as aptitude in the
acquisition of knowledge, fondness
for study lather than play, and a
habit of closely scrutinizing what
ever phenomena came in bis way.
lie was sc a rely’ ten years old be
fore he had read, chiefly by the
light of pine knots, every readable
book accessible within seven miles
of his lather's house, llis delight
in books led liirn, while yet a child,
to the determination to be a prin
ter. In 1821 the family removed
to Westhavcn,'Vermont, where for
five years be assisted bis father in
his labors jxs a farmer, at the same
time eagerly availing himself of
every opportunity for reading and
study. In the spring of 1826 he
entered the office of the Northern
Spectator, at East Pultuey, Ver
mont, as an apprentice to the art
of printing, lie speedily became
an expert workman, while he
availed himself of the peculiar fa
cilities for intellectual improve
ment which a printing office ever
affords. lie became the best work
man in the office, and sometimes
rendered important assistance in
editing the paper.
In June, 1830, when lie was in
his twentieth year, his apprentice
ship was suddenly terminated by
the discontinuance of the Northern
Spectator and the breaking up of
the establishment at East Pultney.
His knowledge of political statis
tics, of party movements and their
leaders, was so extensive, that,
young as he was, he was regarded
as an authority in such matters.
His parents were now residing in
Erie county, I’ennsylvania. After
spending a few weeks with them
he worked as a journeyman for a
short time in Jamestown and
Lodi, New York, and subsequently
for a so uewhat longer period at
Eri, Pennsylvania.
In August, 1831, he went to
New York city with a scanty
wardrobe, and only $lO in his
pocket, in quest of employment,
wliich lie soon obtained, lie work
ed as a journeyman in several dif
ferent offices till January 1, 1833,
when lie commenced the printing
business for himself, entering into
partnership with Mr. Francis Sto
ry. The firm of Greeley <fc Story
were tho printers of Dr. Sheppard’s
Morning Post, the first penny daily
ever published in the world. This
paper failed, however, in less than
three weeks, and the firm of Oree
ley Si Story at the expiration of
six months was dissolved by the
death of the junior partner. Mr.
Greeley afterward took for his
partners Mr. Jonas Winchester
and Mr. E. Sibbett, and the busi
ness was continued under the
name of Greeley & Co. The New
Yorker, a weekly paper, of which
Mr. Greeley was the editor, was
commenced by this firm on the 2d
of March. It was q political, lite
rary and family newspaper, and in
the department of political statis
tics, especially, it was regarded by
all parties as an authority. Its
circulation for that period was
extensive, but owing to some de
fect in its business arrangements
it was not profitable to the propri
etors, though it was continued for
seven years. The slender income
from from the New Yorker forced
Mr. Greely to engage in other la
bors. He supplied the Daily Whig
with its leading articles for some
months, and for one year, in
1838-3!) edited the Jeffersonian, a
j weekly political journal published
in Albany, and devoted to the in
terests of the Whig party.
In IS4O he edited the Log Cabin,
a weekly journal, established to
promote the interests of William
Harrison, then a candidate for the
Presidency. This journal obtained
a very wide circulation, and exer
cised nnd important inflenec.
On the 10th day of April, 1841,
Mr. Greeley commenced the publi
cation of the New York daily
Tribune, the New Yorker and Log
Cabin being merged therein; and
he has since been identified with
it. In 1848 Mr. Greely was elec
ted to Congress to till a vacancy
and served in that body from De
cember 1, of that year, to March
4, 1849, distinguished himself
c’lifly by his opposition to the
abuse of the mileage Bystem. As
an editor and a lecturer be has
labored zealously to promote the
welfare of the laboring classes*.
In 1850 a volume of his lectures
and essays was published under
the title of “Hints Towards Re
forms.” In 1851 he made a voy
age across the Atlautic, and da
ring his stay in England served as
one of the jurymen on the Crystal
Palace Exhibition. After his re
turn he published a volume enti
tled “Glances at Europe.”’ In
1865 he published a “History of
the Struggle for Slavery Extension
or Restriction in tho United States
from 1787 to 1850.” In 1859 lie i
made a visit to California, travel
ling thither by way of Kansas, i
Pike's Peake and Utah.
During this California tour, Mr.
Greeley was everywhere well re
ceived, and at many poins he ad
dressed throngs of people on the
topics of politics, the Pacific Rail
road, temperance, and the like.
On l.is return to the East, he found
the country agitated by the stormy
political convulsions preceding
and subsequent to the election of
Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency.—
Mr. Greeley espoused the Union
cause, but deprecated a resort to
armed force. During the continu
ance of the struggle, while sup
porting the Government in its
measures loi the suppression of
armed resistance to its authority,
yet lie left no opportunity unim«
proved in showing his great anx
iety for a restoration of peaceful
relations between the people of
the contending sections. It was
to promote this object that Mr.
Greeley proposed the famous, “Ni
agara Conference” of 1864. Al
though the meeting of distinguish
ed civilians on that occasion was
not productive of the good results
wliich its promoters hoped to see,
yet it served to show the abhor
rence with which at least one of
the actors regarded a state of war
fare. Since the close of hostilities
Mr. Greeley has been constantly
employed, and all the great ques
tions of the day have in turn re
ceived his attention. He was the
first prominent Republican to
plead for a general amnesty to all
who had engaged in hostilities
against the Government, llis la
bors in this direction have done
much to create, in the North, a
sentiment favorable to the re
moval of disabilities from the
Southern people.

B. Gratz Brown was born at
Lexington, Ky., and is just 46
years old. lie settled as a lawyer
at St. Louis; entered the State
Legislature at the age of 26 ; soon
after became connected with the
St. Louis Democrat and edited it
from 1854 to 1859; aided to start
tho Republican party in Missouri
in 1857 ; raised and commanded a
regiment in 1861 —subsequently a
brigade; was United States Sena
tor from 1863 to 1867 and was
elected Governor of Missouri on
the broad platform of general am
nesty in 1870. lie, perhaps, pre
cedes any other Republican as the
founder of the Liberal party which
gathered in national convention at
Cincinnati. He is a careful, well
poised man, very firm in his con
victions, of keen perceptions, and
a firm believer in the power of the
people to govern themselves, with
out the interference of outside
force. He has proved a capable
Governor of Missouri, and is more
popular with its people to day than
when he was first elected to his
present position.
Washington, May 15.—T0-day
a delegation of Georgians, consis
ting of Judge Holt, of Macon;
Henry Hingliam, of Savannah;
State Senator Gresham, Colonel
; Edward C. Anderson, IJ. b>. Capers,
Mayor Huff, of Macon; Colonel
j Frobell, and other prominent gen
tlemen, sent here in the interest of
the Inter-Oceanic Canal project to
unite the Mississippi river with the
Atlantic Ocean, called on the Pres
ident. They were accompanied
by the entire Georgia delegation
iu the House ot Representatives,
and were introduced to the Presi
dent by General Young. Colonel
Frobell, in a speech of a few mo
ments’ duration, called the atten
tion of the President to this mat
ter, not only important to the peo
ple of Georgia, he said, but every
portion of the Common country;
the delegation was here to oiler
the President, and through him to
the country, just such a highway
that will be safe in war aud com
modious in peace —unobstructed
by ice; cheapest known to the
commercial world, and ample for
the country that needs it. Colonel
Frobell explained the route which
will open navigation to the Atlan
tic Ocean, the cost of which would
not exceed twenty millions of dol
lars, while its benefits would reach
the whole country; the delegation
was here to ask in view of this
being a great national work, that
the President would give it a
j favorable consideration.
The President iu response said
he had seen a map of the route
! and it looked, to him, eminently
, practicable. He was convinced of
its importance and but for the
' lateness of the present session
would make it a subject of special
> communication to Congress, lie
suggested that it would be advis
able for the friends of the measure
in Congress to obtain the intro
duction and reference of a hill as
preliminary to subsequent action
of the Executive, lie did not
know whether Congress would be
disposed to guarantee the bonds
of the company or would preter
to give a direct subsidy in public
lauds, lie regarded the measure
as deserving national aid. The
delegation will represent the im
portance of this contemplated
work to the Vice-President, the
Speaker of the House aud the;
Committees on Commerce from 1
