ANOTHER 'SEA: HOB
There -motes to us, by
Francisco, - another harrowing, tale of
death and iinflering -to those \who go
down to the see, in ships: *- This time , it
is the btirnink of d'cooliejahip, the Don
Juan; tiftlroiret 600 coolies on board. -
Every one L knout_s' what ; . the coolie
_t
- trade means. It is the modern Aubsit;
tutu the alarci trade, and is some ; :
whiit,b4ter,tban the . latt,er' t 'in that the
laborer rOeti red, by fraudulentrep
resentations anti villainous contracts,
which nominally recognim the right to
dispose °Chia own, muscles and brawn
by the rules, of bargain and trade ; and
it is only for a stated time, after-which
ho is supposed -to be' at liberty. The
moral animus of the cursed system is
a-concession 'to- progression and -civili
zation ; the , practical working of it is
little better thrift chattel Slavery. Six
hundred unfortunates were 'jousted or
drowned itt. sea by 'the burning of the
Don Juan.; and this is the third calam
ity of the ; kind in the laSt 15 - months,
including a loss of over 1,000 lives,—all
from -tho: .rascality, of capital, which
seeks lappr from human muscles on the
same-ror lower—terms as- those. which
govern the-labor of the ox. , And there
be those who-do write long articles and
make sot speeches to prove that -"the
interests of labor and capital are iden
tical." Let ushave logic. - '
JUSTICE TO ONE WHO 46 KNOWS
ABOUT FARMING."
Who Elmira Advertiser in no sound in
its Repnblicanism, so well conducted , ,
and usually fAo fair, that we are a little
surprised at its strictures on Horace
Greeley, tounded on his , speech at the
Lincoln Mb rooms In . Union fignaro,
is reported in the Tribune of June 13.
The Advertiser intimates that Mr. Gree
ley has offered his resignation to the
Republican party dud proposed to pass
receipts with it. in the following para
graphs, which we quote verbatim
"' I am perfectly willing to pass receipts with
the Republican party." l Ro says Mr. Greeley.
" Mr. Greoley may, if ho will, take his receipt
and gel. We shall he sorry to lose him, because
be would be more unhappy out of the party than
he is in it. Hut Mr. areelay's receipt would be
of very little service to him, whereas the party
would ho ono man short, and a great deal of un
necessary quarreling dispensed with.
":',levertheless, we, do not think Mr. Greeley
can a fford to pass recelptt with the Republican
party. All that Mr. the ley is, and all that his
newspaper is, he virtually owes to that party."
This for tit° Advpliscr's version of,
the speech. The Amide question is, did
Mr. Greeley ever propose to leave the
party in the way and manner above In
timated? To answer this fairly, It is
only necessary to quote what he actu
ally did say, which was this:
I am very grateful to those +emus and gal
lant Republicans who, in the fac of certain de
teat, rallied around me and gave me a bountiful
support, running nay name in each ease a little
ahead of the average of my ticket. For that
suppOrt I am grateful; for the several nomina
tions, not at all. Well, gentlemen, the past is
past, ' let tho dead bury their dead.' 1 am per
feotly willing to pass receipts with the Republi
can party and say that our accounts aro now set
tied and closed. They owe mo nothing for being
a Republican ; I could not have helped being one
if I had tried, and, being a Republican, it was
in my nature to do all Icould for the EIIICCCPA of
that patty libielt embodied and enforced my per
sonal convictions. I woe jaet as grateful to you
as you were to me. I was just as much gratified
by your co-operation no you wero by mine, and
there the matter ends. But for the future, I oan
say, gentlemen, fully and heartily, that I need no
office, I desire no office; and, though . I never
stall (Wolin° any nomination that has not boon
offeriitti we, I cortainly shall seek, no office what—
ever.; I am with you and of you; willing to do
my Part ; willing to bear my share of our re
sponsibilities; but I have,work enough, reasona-,
ble pay for it, oak:lent consideration, with too
wuck,notoriety ; and the more quiet and peace
ful my remaining days may be, the bettor I shall
be satisfied."
Andk,this, for the speech as actually
deliyered. ,
The Advertiser proceeds to lecture
Mr. Greeley as follows i
" We aro not sure, if Mr. Greeley 'keeps on
progressing as ho has of into in the direction of
nenoifugling with the South, but the party had
betterltake his receipt and couni him practically
on thei other side. For instance, in one of his
speeches during his Southern tour, ho gave ex•
pression to the following soUtiment, and has re
peated it sinco his return : Ito hoped the time
would como when all Anierlomfs, North and
South, would feel a just pride in the military
character end aohlevemonts of Leo and Stonewall
Jackson, just as we of tho North now take pride
in the character and achievements of Grant,
6berman and Thomas."•
Below we give that portion of the
speech at the Lincoln Club rooms, and
we admit that "military character" is
pretty strong for Northern admiration.
" Ch«raeter" means and includes a
great deal : honor, truthfulness, fidelity
to the 118 g, etc. We can admire the
pluck ' skill; and endurance of Johns
ton, Leo and stonewall Jackson, while
wishing them hanged for treason. 'But
" military character" includes more
than courage and skill. Mr. Oreeley ,
said :
"But it has been reported very widely, that at
Vicksburg, addressing a mainly Bouthorn audi-
CHOO rrid trying to awaken In them something of
the sentiment of nationality and patriotism which
burns in a truly American bosom, I said that /
trusted•the time, would e,sme im we of tho
North will honor Lee and Stonewall Jackson, I
did not say that. ''What I did ray was, that I
hoped the time Would come when Americans
North as well as Americans South would feel a
just pride in the soldierly achievements and mil.
itary charactio of Lee and Stonewall Jackson,
just as I trusted the late confederates would learn
to feel a generous pride In the achievements of
Grant and Sharman, and. Thomas and Sheridan.
I said that, or something very like it. Possibly,
you are not willing to go so far' us that Very
well, there is no hurry. Take your time : I can
wait. I cam unit." -
Horace Greeley has been a stanch,
uncompromising Republican for a time
that antedates the formation of the
• party. Even his enemies tidinit his
honesty ; no sane man doubts his
ity ; and there is not a better informed
man in the Country, as regards his coun
try's history. TV7sy the rrientlon of his

ings of the people. We wish We could
add that the stealings and pickings
aforesaid had always
,been confined to
the party which first adopted the vll
- creed, lint we pannot. The
Whigs succeeded' the Democrats, and
were, to say the truth, an improvement
for a time, but not for long. . •
We need not g 4 into the 'subsequent
political history df the country. Eve
rybody remembers the Missouri Cora
promise, and the Kansas troubles, con
tingent-on-squatter sovereignty. All,
who know'anYthing, know the incep
tion, conception, animus, and finale of
the war. And all who know this and
these, know that.the life, the backbone
of the Democratie party, was the " Sa
cred institlution"—slavery. When a'
Judge of the Supreme Court of this
land said that a black man had' no
rights which a white man was/bound
to, respect," he was simply piling up .
ignominy and ridicule.for his / posterity,
so long as history shall record human
progress, and human reason shall bal
ance events. State Rights Democracy
culminated in-civil war, and necessity,
backed by the leyailleart of the nation,
called for the abolition of slavery. It
came, but tardily. We have always
held that, had the South abrogated sla
very a few months previous to the eintin7
Cipation proclamation, and, offering,
freedom as the reward of success, called
on the slave population to fight for the
South, the Southern Confederacy would
have been assured. We still think so.
But it Was not to be ;—and to-day the
black man has rights which the white
man is 'obliged' to respect. The white
man—if a Democrat—is not to blame
for this state of things. To do him sim
ple justice, he has fought against it
with a persistency and plucky energy
worthy a better cause; but the fates— ,
in the shape of three villainous amend
ments—compelled him to aequieseenc";
sullen, at first, bdt, when there was no
thing to be gained by a lifelong fit of
sulks, to hearty, adoption—so far as out
ward signs and adopted resolutions can
go.
Hence it happens that the better and
more intelligent portion of the North
ern Democracy have swallowed the ob
noxious amendmOnts, and given the lie
to the great• exponent of Judicial De
mocracy, by " resolving" that the ne
gro has rights which any man is bound
to respect. . •
We are glad of this, and do not at all
sympathize with our cotemporariesWho
raise a howl of suspiel4m and distrust
at the New Departure.; When such
able and earnest traitors; as Vallandig
ham renounce their hereOes and declare
themselves ready to acetipt the Consti
tution as it Ifi, in good faith ; when a
Democratic Convention in one of the
largest States, speaking by authority,
and swallowing by deputed capacity—
gulps down the three amendments,
with a colored person at the end, we are
disposed to be charitable. Error is hu
niian : forgiveness is divine, and ought
to be republican. So far as the Demo
cratic and Republican parties North are
concerned, there seems to us but a slight
difrerenc in creed, except—and this ex
ception is important—on the question
of protection to home industry. We
wish our Democratic friends would be
a little more explicit abdut this.(
should be glad to know - whether, a r
party, they " accept" the principles 0

der. Because, in the latter case,"we do
not think it would be a possibility to
ever pay the national debt; or even
keep up the interest thereon. •
And as to swallowing the amend

The Memphis Aip - 841 Qaye :
We have fallen upon strange times when
southern men propose to give. a dollar to hear
Horace Greeley speak, white demanding that ft
gag be placed in, the month of Jefferson Davis.—
To demand that the voice of our .'great leader
eheuld be muffled, leg lituniliatinteonfesslon.—
It'is dishonoring the oauffe whith..ho .reprosent
'ed. The South has suffered enough without add
ing the loss of honor. Jefferson. Davis . is not a
traitor."
The Fulton Fair Plug, a Missouri pa
per, says : ' :
.
We denounce the so•ealled I,DettioCraay.as a
lie, a swindle,. a.:.transparant, cheat.. No man
who ever was a Democrat,' or who ,knows what
the word means, has any use for a'‘ DeMooriter.
which' adopts and indorser the thtso;oonstltalon•
al amendments, and is afraid•to open its Coward
ly. lips in faVor of State rights' or a white
man's government.' But the Republican and the
whole regiment of editors in this State who have
been acoustemed for the last ten years .to adopt
its thoughts instead of thinking for themselves,
are ready to denounce Prmeroy's Democrat, the
Lexington Caucasian; the Montgomery Han, and
every other paper in the land which dares now to
advocate a Domooraoy,that has any heart, brain,
or backbone in it."
Henry S. Foote censured Jeff. Davis
In a public speech, whereupon the Ap•
peal, of Memphis, gets after him in the
following strain :
cs Most men, when they become the focal point
of million-fingered scorn, seek the most impene
trable obscurity; but it seems three score and
ten years have not been suilloient to gratify A.
S. Foote's love of falsehood and treachery, and
he insists on parading himself before the nation
as if he were f< glutton of contempt and actuated
byan unconquerable, morbid, wolfish desire to
keep his foul and infamous reputation before the
public."
•
And thus speaks Robert Toombs, to
a' Tribune correspondent : . .
" I would sooner vote for Horace Greeley than
for any Democrat upon such a platform. Greer
ley and the Republicans first got it up; it's their
patent, and I have more respect for them than
for such scoundrels as VallandiSham, who wants
to steal their Ideas." Mr. Toombs spoke at some
length / in this style, declaring finally that the
people of the South could never be brought to
aecopt the constitutional amendments as
Anali
tles, and that if the'Demooratio party took that
ground, they would have nothing to do with that
party. What do you look forward to in the fu-
tare ?' I asked ; how can you escape the results
of the war?' 'We will fight you again just as
soon as wo can get ready,' ho answered; and .I
believe we can get ready much sooner than most
people think." You cannot seriously believe
that the Soutiewill attempt another war ?' •
certainly do; and I believe that I shall live to age
Southern independence.'"
And thus talks Jeff. Davis :
"You honor me only as the represent#tivo of
your cause. That cause is dear tomar—, more
precious even than life—and I glory-in its re
membrance."—Davis at Augusta, trics.,itay 26,'71.
" I don't believe I did any wrong. I am pot
of those who accept the situation. I accept Fl 0-
thifitt."—Davia at Atlanta, May VT, 1871.
And chiming in with Daviii,`"appears
Toombs, in a speech at Augusta': '
,
'"",.." When you can tear the live thunder fro;n its
home in the burning ether and bind it a captive
at the footstool of tyranny, then, and not till
then, will I accept the situation."
So much for Southern Sentiment.—
At the North, the new 'departure is
pretty generally accepted, 'wisely, but
none too soon. The trouble is, that the
thing is likely to run badly at the
South, because of the irrepressible trea
son, that, being born in the bone, hangs
on to the flesh with inconvenient tena
city. •
Taking a general average of t 13,4 alto
ation, the prospects of the Demnoraoy
are a trifle mixed just now, and far
from promising future harmony.
THE Bedford county Press asks:
"Will the Democracy , of . Berks,' York
and other counties In their control di
vide their local °facies with the black
man and soldiers ? They never did it
heretofore. It is to be seen whether
they will do it, now that they want
their votes."
