the happier are they Lobbyists of socie
ty,they buzz about iu search ofvul nerablen,
in order to serve their maslcrs. Politics
with them is a means of livelihood and a
source of plenty. Huch persons can never
be statesmen, and, indeed, must part with
natural honesty to succeed In the work
they have undertaken.
On the other hand n statesman, in any
degree, is the honest friend of his race. Jn
some sense he is n partisan, but never to
the extent of parting with his indepen
dence.and never to tlm lowering of his dig
nity. lie will not hesitate on a question
of right, even at the cost of estranging Ins
constituents, who, lie knows, can see the
matter only from one shunting point. He
must dischargu his duty drat of all on thu
line pf exact and equal justice lu ail par
lies,before he can play the generous toward
ids owu practical scheme
It has come to be the glory of Calhoun
that ho boldly dolled tho opposition of his
particular constituency, for conscience
sake, and gave his voice and lutluence to
the other side on great public measures.
110 could not prevent the consequent storm,
hut he did a greater thing, he withstood it
with composure.
Knowledge of duty, truth, rigid, expe
diency, and a keen appreciation of poster
ity's verdict, together with that best of ull
friends—the approving conscience, inado
ids detlance sublime, and hasteuod the day
of vindication, lint few men, oveu so
styled statesmen, these days, will dare so
much.
Our young aspirants for political pre
ferment, would do well to consider tho
pre-requisitus of gcuuiuc statesmanship.—
To servo In tho Assembly of a Btate, is
little more than attending n primary school
to ho drilled in those practices of parlia
mentary chsruclcr which teud to coiuihwo
a man for the greater practice of the na
tional arena.
To have something to say on every
question may soon stamp one a blockhead,
unless w hat is said be a masterly Compre
hension of diniculties, and a clear method
of overcoming them.
The ready uttciiuicc simply, soon finds
its level as a ready utterance, and its mas
ter may take ids place as “tho talking
member" whose versatile genius touches
all questions hut Ynlightcns none. It is
the smallest ]>art of a statesman's ability—
that of lalkiug. Thought is his thunder,
and directness, the first proof of compre
hension, is the bolt that parts the subtle
questiou or demolishes the difficulty. The
fact of makiug a speech is nothing to him.
His one concern is the guidance of the na
tion and tlic maiuteuaiicc of justice.
There are statesman, and they are
annul); tho greatest, who never umke
s|>oecho To be compelled to listen to
them one hour would he w orse than the
pillory, yet they more the machinery of
lliiugs, auit by the weight of their cabinet i
wisdom, give steadiness to the rocking .
State, They care little for the boisterous
riot of parties, so long as the deep currents
of truth, right and law are iiuiutrrruptcd
in their course. The upper waves of the
sea may be caused by e xtraneoua forces, and
the tumultuous rage of the elements, but the
commotion i* ooutiued to the Ibiu surface.
The deep sea is unsounded by such forces,
and moves on in its tuigbty sweep of obe
dience to tho laws beneath. Ills go with
the State. And the Hue statesman keeps
his eye on those principles, the science of
which is the profound study of his life.
We are not a nation of statesmen, and
it gives us no plosssni eto say go The spirit
of our age is unfavorable to the produc
tion of great men. We are content with
mushroom growth ami mushroom stature.
Our patience in study is not commensurate
with the necessity of It. aud our knowl
edge of men goes no farther than the
secret of using them. We aspire to place
for place, and to high trusts for the glitter
which they bring. Tbe hustings pro
uounce us great, but the forum mocks us
with our own echoes
The Ephesians shouted, •• Great is Di
ana." but if Diana could have been con
scious for thu space of a single thought,
she would have discovered that tlu* peo
ple honored not her, Imt the brass of
which site was composed. The applica
tion is painfully easy, which is the only
misfortune of the figure.
The time coming will need great men—
men of thought and men of action. Our
youth can have no lack of spur in the one
domain or the other. Now is the forma
tive period. Now is the preparation scene.
History, philosophy, humanity, duty, self,
these aro the grand tasks to master, or to
set about mastering. History, lliut we may
nvoid the errors of the post and profit by
the record ; philosophy, that we may grasp
the living present as it links us with the
past and the future , humanity, that we
may be impressed with the importance and
sacred nature of the performance in which
we must lake a hand ; duty, that we may
quicken the conscience, and pre-occnpy
the judgment and the heart. and rf that
we may he fortified against lb- insidious
ness of treachery, and the blandishments
which the false prophet of |iersoual ag

Air. Greeley at Columbus, Ohio.
CoLl’Min s, 0 , Sept. 20.—Horace Gree
ley arrived here at ten this morning. A
large crowd of persons gathered at the
depot when the train arrived. John G.
Thompson introduced Mr. Greeley who
w as received with cheers, and spoke about
five minutes. He said, in substance, that
seven years having passed since the close
of the civil war, it seemed no less than
reasonable that its attendant proscription
and evil should cease ; that there was no
good reason why llio American people
should hate one another, or should pro
scribe one another.
Sonic said there was a part of the peo
ple who should not vote, on account of
their participation in the w ar. We deny
that auy should he proscribed because ef
tlic war. Tbc opposition say Ibis class
are few. Wc say no, sir, there are thou
sands of this class among the best citizens
in Arkansas alone.
General Seigel, some years ago, wrote
from South Carolina tiial (lie principal
reason the reconstruction w# a failure
was because men of property were pro
scribed and not allowed In vole, while 1 he
ignorant chores could vole away llieir
property
Mr. Greeley continued, ilie lime inis
fully come when all should say to these
thousands, who were aguinst us. conic for
ward and help us, free us we are, to rebuild
the waste pluces of eur country. This is
what we understood by reconciliation,
(cheers) none proscribed and uone under
the ban.
Home ask. “do you want us to vote for
relicts for office?" I say you are oniy asked
to allow ull to vote for whom they please.
How shall a man he called a relic! who,
seven years ago, returned to liis allegiance,
took tlic oath and lias since been a good
citizen and done all he can to build up the
country ? 1 hold it as ail error to cull
such rebels.
Mr. Greeley concluded by saying:—
“ Let there tie no proscription ; but let us
all. while or black, unite to build up our
country.” (Cheers.)
He was obliged to bring bis remarks to
an abrupt conclusion on account of the
noise made by the preparations of the train
to depart. The crowd called for more,
and Sir. Greeley made his appeurauce at
tlic end of the car again, hut just then the
locomotive was hitched to the car, which
was pulled some distance up the truck to
allow another car to lie attached.
After all was quiet again, General
Walker, of Virginia, was called upon, and
said
"FeUowcitizent I am glad to meet you
this bright September morning. 1 am
glnd to see before me so many intelligent,
honest voters who will, I doubt not, cast
their suffrages for Mr. Greeley. [Cheers.]
The Old Dominion lias been, in tlic past,
a leader of States and of the Union, when
she led the South, followed even in the
late war. The Confederacy was nothing
until Virginia cast her lot with it. The
Confederacy could not have lived six
months without the Old Dominion, und
when she surrendered on the plains ol the
plains of Appomatax the rebellion was
over.
In 1 HOD Virginia inaugurated this great
Liberal movement on her soil, and since
all lias been well within her borders.
You do not hear there of acts of Kuklux
and hank defalcations ; but only good
government and pence. Virginia has
pride in this great work, and she appeals
to you, her duughter, Ohio, to come to her
support ami to help reclaim this country.
[Loud cheers ]
Mr. Greeley then seated himself at a
window of his car, and shook hands with
all who desired it.

Is a fair sample :
Gentlemen, standing here as I do to

nize in my own humble person the great
advance that lias been made in the civili
zation of this country. [Applause ] 1
recognize how lar this grand country has

how highly I ought to appreciate the po
sition I occupy as an American citizen,
and for one—and I thiuk I can speak for
a few friends of mine—l say that on the
stli of November you will find the best
hearts in the colored race standing by tbe
banner of progress, the banner of liberty,
the bauner of peace aud reconciliation.
[Applause ] We propose to go forward
in this work determined tq accomplish
something for those that have done so
much for us. [Applause] We seek no
office, we desire no emolument, we ask
no thanks ; we only want our rights re
tained to us. and that the rights of ail per
sons through this broad land shall be re
tained to them.
We ask that the people of North Caro

ple of New York enjoy; we ask that the
writ of habeat corpus shall not be sus

or in the State of South Carolina, nor any

South, white and black, from the rapacity
which preys upon them. Without de
tracting from the distinguished soldier who
occupies the Presidential chair to-day, wc
thiuk that Horace Greeley is a better man
to occupy that position. [Applause ] We
arc not responsible that the President is
incompetent. We did not invent or man
ufacture the man. [Laughter ] I believe
that ull things and men are made for a
purpose. Our Heavenly Father made
that gentleman, 1 tuippo-o. for some pur

occupy the Presidential clmir for eight
years. [Applause.] We do not propose
to butt against Providence—[renewed
laughter]—even though that distinguished
gentleman believes that lie is the especial
Providenco of this couutry; but we do
propose to obey the wishes of the Ameri
can people and remove him from the
Paesidenlial chair.
The Pool Tax. —Our Stute exchanges
are animadverting upon the fact that Mr.
Grant’s faction bus arranged for tlic pay
ment of the negro poll tax in the State, so
as that they shall be free to vote the Grant
ticket. Very well. We beg to inform
our friends I hut the Administration party
will not only pay the negro poll tax, but
the tax of auy white man who will in re
turn vote their ticket. Hundreds of our
Democratic voters have not puid their
poll tax. It should be one of the first du
ties of Democratic Clubs, to limit them
out, and assist them in doing their primary
duty. If they cannot pay the tax—pay
it for them. Wc need every vote and
must not be defrauded of our victory by
u matter so easily adjusted.
The Savannah News goes for us in
the following lively manner. To have
the confidence and appreciation of our
