proval of it in the Senate, ,and Jef
ferson Davis, four months its
occurrence, wrote a letter to ' ' .. th
Carolina in fulsome eulogy of : .. ks
for loving so nearly - taken your life.
It is safe to say that every men in
the south who rejoiced over the at
tempt to murder you was afteriward
found in the rebel conspiracy to Mur
der the nation. •
It is still safer to say that every
one of them who survives is to -day
your fellow laborer in sup of
Horace Greeley. In 1856 he ould
indeed have been a rash prop hetwho
predicted your fast alliance ' teen
years after, with Messrs. - Toombs
and Davis in-their efforts to: einstate
their own party in power. In all the
ca4 r
startling mutations of Ameri po
litics nothing so marvelous has ever
occnrod as the fellowship oP bert
Toombs, Jefferson Davis and les
Sumner in a joint effort to drive the
RepubLican_party from power! and
hand over the government ,to the
practical control of those who tie re
cently sought to destroy it. 1
It is of no avail for you to I take
refuge behind the Republican record
of Horace Greeley. Conceding Or the
sake of argument (as I do not in fact
believe)-.that Horace Greeley Would
remain firm in his Republican (prin
ciples, he would be powerlss against
the Congress JIM would come into
power with him in the event of his
election. We have had a recent and
striking illustration, in the cake of
Andrew Johnson, of the inability of
the President to enforce a poliy , or
li
even a measure, against the of
Congress. What more power- virould
there be , in Horace Greeley to enfor
ce a Republican policy against a
Democratic Congress than there was
in Andrew Johnson to enforce a Dem
ocratic policy against a Republican
Congress? And besides, Horace
Greeley has already, in his letter of
acceptance, taken ground practically
against the Republican doctrine so
often enforced 'by yciarself, of ,the
duty of the national government
to scenic) the rights of every citizen
to protection of life, person and pro
perty. In Mr. Greeley's letter accep
ting. the Cincinnati nomination he
pleases every Ku Klux villain in the
South by repeating the Democratic
can about "local self-; oyernment,"
and inveighing in g... —reboil par
lance against, "centralization ,' and
finally declaring that "there sh be
no Federal supervision of the inter
nal policy of the several States] and
municipalities, but that each shall be
left free to enforce the rights and pro
mote the well-being of its inhabitants
by such moms as the judgment of ite
own,people shall prescribe."
The meaning of all this, in plain
English, is that no matter how the
colored citizens of the South play be
abused, wronged and oppressed,lCon
grecs shall not interfere for them pro
tection, but leave them to the tender
mercies, of the "local self-govern
ment" administered by the white
`rebels. Do you, as, a friend to the
Colored man, approve 'this ptition
of "Mr Greeley ?
Yon cannot forget, Mr. Suinner,
how Often during the last session of
Congress .you conferred with:Ole in
regard 'to the possibility of 'haling
your civitrights bill passed by the
House. It was introduced by your

Two intelligent colored\meiabere

sirio of the Home to merely \lallow

Mge, that with these men in Con

are absolutely , s ac r ificed so far as

Your argument that Horace Greeley
does not become a Democrat b re
ceying Democratic asks
kw it by the anakogy of you own
*son to the eenate—k hardly
pertinent. The point is not what Mr.
Grade,. will become personally,what
will become the eampliedcsr of the
great legislative branch of the ggoovv
ernment, with all Its vast aontroling
power.; You know very well, • Mr.
Summer, that if Mr. Greeley is elect
ed President, Congress is handed
over to the control of the party who
have persistently denied the rights of
he black man. What course you
will pursue toward the' colored' man
is of small consequnoe after you have
transferred the power of government
to his enemy.
Still further : the rights of the col
ored men in this country are neared,
if secured at all, by the three great
constitutional amendments— the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.
To give these amendments full scope
and effect, legislation and Congress
is imperatively required, as you have
so often and eloquently demonstrat
ed. But the Democratic party are
on record in the most conspicuous
manner against any legislation on
the subject. It was only in, the
month of February last that my col
league, Mr. Peters, Offered a resolu
tion in the House of Representatives,
affirming the " validity of the consti
tutional amendments and of such
reasonable legislation of Congress as
may be necessary to' make them in
their letter and spirit most effectual."
This resolntion,very mild aid guard
ed as you will see—was adopted by
124 yeas to 58 nays ; only eight of
the yeas were Democrats ; all the
nays were Democrat&
The resolution of Mr. Peters was
followed a week later by one offered
by Mr. Stevenson, Lei Ohio, as fol
lows
Ilesorved, That we recognize as
valid and binding all existing laws
passed by Congress for the enforce
ment of the . Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth' amendments of the
Constitution of the United States,
and for the protection of citizens in
their rights under the Constitution as
amended.
On the vote upon this resolution
there were 107 yeas to 65 nays. AU
the yeas were Republicans, and they
are now unanimous in support of
President Grant. All the nays were
Democrats, who are now equally
unanimous in support of Mr. Gree
ley. _
It is idle to affirm, as some Demo
crats did in a resolution offered. by
Mr. Brooks of New York, " that
these amendments are valid parts of
the= , Constitution " so long as the
same men on the same day vote that
the provisions of these amendments
should not be enforced by Congres- 1
sional legislation. The amendments
are but "sounding brass and. tink-
ling symbols" to the colored. man
until Congress makes them effective
and practical. Nay, more. If the
rights of the colored man are to be
left to the legislation of the Southern
States, without Congressional inter
vention,
he would, under , a Demo
cratic administration, be deprived of
the right of suffrage in less than two
years, and he would be very lucky if
he escaped some form of chattel
slavery or peonage. And in proof of
this danger I might quote volumes
of wisdom and warning from the
ppeeches of Charles Sumner.
When, therefore, you point out to
the colored men that their rights will
be safe in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, you delude and mislead
them—l do , not say wilfully, but
none the less. really. The small
handful of Republicans, compared
with the whole mass, who unite with
yourself and Mr. Greeley in going
over to the, Democratic - party, can
not leaven that lump of political un
soundness even if you preserve ,your
own original principles in the con
tact. The administration of Mr.
Greeley, therefore, should he _ be'
elected, wo dbe in the 'whole :and
in detail a Democratic administra
tion, and u would be compelled to
go with L current or repent and
turn hack when too late to mend the
evil you bad done.
. The colored men of this country
are not, as a class, enlightened; but
they; have wonderful instincts, and
when they read Your letter they will
know that at a great crisis in their
fate you deserted them. Charles Sum
mer cooperating with Jefferson Da
vis is ,not the same Charles Summer
they have hitherto idolized, any more
than Horace Greeley, cheered to the
echo in Tammany Hall, is the same
Horace Greeley whom the Republi

ungrateful for what youLhave done
for them in the past nor the bitter

Dun Mn.' Smetza : Though I

a position antagonistic
al 'to yyoouurr own, under ordinary cif=
camshnoes, even if I'deemed it erro

welfare when seriinisly imperilled.
You do not believe in silence in a
crisis like the present, nor do L ! In
year recent leUw to certain colored
eitbanis of Washington, you have
spoken plainly, vehemently, and with,
rhetorical amplification (not for the
first time) in utter condemnation o
the President of the United States;
and your advice to the whole body
of the colorod , voters is that they
concentrate their suffrages upon a
rival candidate in the person of Hor
ace Greeley. * * * ._.. ' *
The Republicanparty, (the pro
duct of thirty years mo ral and reli
gious agitation for the overthrow of
slavery) has crushed a vast sectional
rebellion for the erection of an inde
pendent slave empire ' • has emanci
pated four millions of bondmen ' and
elevated them to the plane of Ameri
can citizenship ; has reconstructed
the rebellions States on a common
Constitutional basis, with universal
liberty; has brought order out of
chaos, general tranquility out': of
widespread disaffection, unexampled
prosperity out of frightful devasta
tion,,and has advanced the banner of
,liberty and equality far beyond the
expectation or hope of any man liv
ing ten years ago. The day has
gone by, therefore, for any one to ex
hibit remarkable courage or conspi
cuity in the advocacy of any measure
in behalf of tho rights and interests
of our coloredpopuktion, except, in-
deed where the old slaveholding spi
rit still exercises masteryat the
'South. Nor is it pertinent to the
occasion to talk of their " infinite
wrongs," now that they are emanci-•
pated and enfranchised, supplied
with multitudinous schools and teach
ers, free to make their own contracts
as independent laborers, protected'as
husbands and wives, bound together
as-parents and children, voting and
being voted for, pursuing successful
ly all professional employments, stea
dily auguienting their home comforts
and laying up wealth, occupying sta
tions of trust and emolument, and
haVing their representatives in every
Southern Legislature #and on the
floor of Congress. True, in certain
loCalities they are still subjected ,_to
many indignities, and sometimes to
horrible outrages; but these are in
flicted by that class of incorrigible
miscreants of the South who are just
now in happy affiliation with yourself
to' place Horace Greeley in the Pres
idential chairj True, there is still
thrOughout the country a strong
prejudice against social equality irre-
Spective of color; bat this is steadily
yielding. and in many cases has ceas
ed to operate. The special time to
express sympathy for the' " infinite
wrongs ' of the colored race was
when they had few to interfere for
their deliverance from — the auction
block and slave coffle, from the slave
driver's gory lash, from galling yokes
and torturing 'thumb-screws, from
the fangs of pursuing . bloodhounds,
from the clutches of prowling kid
nappers, from inconceivable agonies
at the burning stake ; and when to
" remember those in bonds as bound
with them " led anywhere else- than
to the high places of the country.
And I always deeply regret too, (as
I am quite sure you now do), that
for so many years after the com
mencement of the • struggle to effect
that deliverance, when the elements
were melting . with fervent 'heat, and
mobocratic violence for the suppres
sion of anti-slavery dismission was
everywhere prevalent, not excepting
in your own native city, you took no
active part in That conflict, attended
no anti-slavery gatherings, gave 'no
visible sign of a lively interest in its
success; for the first time bearing
your publicT testimony against slave
ry in opposing the annexation of
Texas. When elected to the United:
States Senate in 1851, you sat nearly
eight months in that body speechless
in respect to the fugitive slave bill,
and eliciting strong remonstrances 1
against' your protracted silence, see
ing
that, as the successor' of Mr.
Webster, your election was regarded
as an` important gain to the cause of
impartial freedom. Your silence was
the more inexplicable, and furnished
just cause for uneasiness, because,. in
a sp eech made by you before going
to Washington, you said : " The sub
ject will not admit df postponement
or hesitation. It is the subject of
subjects. From this time forward
it will be entertained by Congress; it
will boi ? as it were, one of the orders
of the day; it 'cannot be passed over
or forgotten. * * * We demand,
first and foremost, the instant repeal
of the fugitive slave bill." You took
your seat in the Senate. December 1,
1851; it was not until the 27th of Ju
ly, 1852, that you rose to advocate
1 that repeal, apologeticallyprefacing
your remarks by saying : "-Had I at
tempted this duty at an earlier day,
it might have been said that as a
new-oomer and inexperienced in this.
rule, without deliberation, hastily,
rashly, recklessly, I pushed this ques
tion before the country." Surely,
no true friend of humanity would
have made such a fling, and the pos
sible sneers of its enemies were not
1 deserving a moment's consideration.
Besides, the discussion had been go
ing on throughout, the land ever
since the passage Of the fugitive
slave bill, so that thu talk of " push
ing the question " upon the public
attention was . a misapplication F of
l anguage. *t * t

Sir r Your letter of the Ifltli instant;
linking my aid to prom= wake
for a Greeley meeting at
,IBuicoeb,
was sant t o me while 1 was fit :.New
England; and I have beaw un
able until now to acknowledge its
do not understand on ^ what
proUnd you considerraysell author.
used to address nob a request to me.
If you had, been familiar - with the
Course of mypublic life, and equally
so with Mr. ce,Uy's, you could not
have supposed me capable of advo
cating his .election to the office of
President of the 'United States, with
out imputing to me <the utter aban
donment of all political principle.
I am. to Mr. celey..:
1. Because : I believe him to -be as
"unstable as water," perpetually
floundering (to carry out the Sexy,-
tnral figgre) amid the surges of opin
ion, and deficient in all the requisites
essential to a firm; steady and con
sistent administration of the govern.'
meet.
NUMBER 11.
2. Because he him usually been
found among the most extreme ank
lets on the great questions of politi
cal and social duty, which have been
brought ender public discussion du;
ring the last quarter of a century.
B. Because he has been the advo
cate of that unequal commercial sys
tea which is s our mercan
tile interests and heap up accu
,raulatiorus in the hands classes to
the oppression of others.
4. Bemuse he is associated, in re
lations more 'or less , intimate, with
some of the chief plunderers, of the
city of New-York, - warranting
the apprehensien that through his
comp city or his facile 'dispoisition;
the slime system of fraud and corrup
tion which has disgraced the mumm
pal govenunenment of , this city, may
be carried to more infamous extremes
in the administration of the Federal
government ;:and
4. Because in the darkest hour of
the country's peril, .when a. traitor
ous combination had been formed to
overthrow the goverimient, he. open- .
ly counselled the cowardly policy of
non-resistance, and an acquiescence
in the dissolution ,df - the Union,
whenever the cotton States should
make up their minds to go..
-The coalition which has been form,
ed to promote his election is one of
the most extraordinary in the histo- -
ry of parties, in respect both to the
discordant elerviits it embraces and
the surrender I;11 principles it .in
.volves.
The Cincinnati Convention called
to bring before the people important
measyres- of reform, nominated him,
.greally to the surprise of the whole
country, knowing, him, .in regard to
one of those measures, to bo an im
placable opponent; nominated him,
too,. against the wishes and judg ,
meat, of the chief prpindiers. of the.
Movement, who accepted him either
with an - avowed or an ill-concealed
disgust, which would be 4ar more
creditably to their" feelings if the act,
of acceptance were not utterly irrec
ontilable' withqheir principles.
The Democratic Convention at
Baltimore
r endorged and commended
him to the support. of their party—
pot as the expellent oL any principles
they have professed or any measures
,they have advocated, but as a known
and bitter opponent •of both—the
man who, perhaps, of all others has
been-the most malignant enemy of
the Democracy, impea.chingits integ
rity, traducing its mo tives and vili
fying its charadter.
'The adoption Of such a' man as
their caTadidate for the Chief Magis
tracy of the Union is the most con
spicnous abandonment of- political
principles lmown to party contests.
It remains to be seen whether the
great body of- the Democratic voters,
and the tree Mends of reform, can
be made parties to this tinserupulons
coalition between political m lers. -
. That general Grant - has commit
ted mistakes his most sincere Mends
adinit. - But if his errors- had been
-fourfold more numerous, he would,
in- my opinion, be a much better
Chief Magistrate than Mr. - Greeley.
He has, in that capacity, done much
for which he deserves the thanlis of
the country. Above all, he has kept
it at peace, notwithstanding the el:
forts of sensation journals and popu—
larity-seeking politicians to provoke
hostilities with Spain on the ques
tion of Cuba, and with Great Britain
on the Alabama claims and the fish
eries. ,
If, regardless of these titles to the
approval of his fellow-citizens, and
of his invaluable services during the
late civil war,' they should let him °
aside fQr Mr. Greeley ; if the ilatter,a
mere erratic politician, untried in
any important public 'trust,
~should
be elected to the Chief Magistracy of
the Union—a Union which would
not now exist if his counsels had
been Followed—and if the . man who,
of alliothers has done the most to
preserve it should be discarded for a
successor so ill qualified and so un
scrupuously nominated and sustains
ed, the example would be most de
plPrablii - in its influence on -all,high
mbtives to political action, and
Vie most painful forebodings as to
theNfiLture.
! lam 'respectfully, yours,
Joitx. A. Dix.

TRUE GREATNESS Mere decision
o eharacter, taken in a worldly sense
is sufficient to produce true greatness
o character. What is further need
, is a clear, commanding view of
duty as one and unalterable, to' be
the pole-star in the heavens. It is,
therefore; hard to - overrate .the im
pbrtance
of -cultivating this distinct
ant unclouded apprehension of right
and wrong as a- permanent mental
habit. In order to attain this, we
'must be often thinking of moral
;questions, and settling principles be- ,
'.fore the hour of triaL. In this, like
wte: men widely differ. Happy is
tl , youth that begins early to medi
ta on such subjects,. nnd to clear
hie notions as to what he ought to
do in given emergencies. He will
find the bracing influence of such
views in moments when all are shak
ing around him. - Looking only at
( principles of eternal right, he will go
serenely forward, even in the face of
adverse popular Opinion. While
weaker minds are halting to collect
the votes of the .masses, he will bare
his bosom to the shower of darts,and
march pp to the requisitions of con
science -in spite of the instant tyrant,.
or, whitit,is often more forMidable, of
the tnrhnlent populace.--Rec. Dr.
W. Alfxander.
