Show GREZLXY S SPEECH- Horace Orecley has made two point Bioce bis Domination at Cincinnati. The first waa his letter of acceptance of that nomination; the second waa his speech Bt Portland on Wednesday. The first , was a plain, hont enunciation of principles, prin-ciples, which certainly wont far to secure se-cure his nomination at Baltimore. The wcond is a manly denial of charges alleged against him with a view to keep warering Republicans from deserting to hid ranks. Ho denies that any compromise has ever been demanded or made with the cx-rebcls to secure their support; that they have only asked joatioo and reconciliation which bo baa advocated since Lee's surrender; surren-der; that in the matter of appointing to office, if ho is elected, he will make do discrimination between those who hare supported him, no matter what tVeir party name; and ho reitor-atea reitor-atea in part the languago he u?ed concerning the carpet-baggers ol tho South uhortly after to returned from his tour through that part of the Republic, long before the Cincinnati movement had bogun to orystalizt into shape. Speeches by Presidential candidates would often be better unspoken, bo far as they aid tho Bpcakcre to election; and Mr. Greoley will act wisely it he seldom aire his sentiments ora-torically. ora-torically. But on this occasion he has made a palpable and timely hit. Banks, Farnsworth, and other weighty men of the Republican party, who have lately espoused his cause, will find tens in his speech which they can amplify on to his advantage and that of tb cause in which they have engaged. en-gaged. And the Philosopher's Portland Port-land speech will not be without its effect upon the campu'gn in which the enthusiasm has been decidedly waning. |
