Bakkr & Godwin, Printer'*, PrintinR-House Square, New York. INTRODUCTOPiY NOTE. The death of Horace Greeley called forth, a nniversal expression of sympathy and homage, such as has rarely been manifested on the departure of any public man, how- ever exalted in position or noble in character. From every quarter of the country the tribute of a people' s grief has been freely offered, with the heartfelt commemoration of the virtues of the beloved dead. The Press and the Pulpit have vied with each other in celebrating his worth, and honoring his name with affectionate admiration. A large number of the friends of Mr. Greeley have expressed the deske to possess these memorials in a per- manent form, and in compliance with theu' wishes the pres- ent volume has been prepared, under the direction of the Editor of T7ie Tribune. It consists of a selection from the numerous articles in various journals, together with notices from the pulpit that have been suggested by Mr. Gree- ley's death ; an account of the proceedings of several public bodies in relation to that event ; and a description of the funeral ceremonies with which the remains of the departed were borne to the tomb. The volume is committed to the friends of Horace Greeley, who comprise so large a portion of the public, with the assurance that they will find in it a just, although inadequate, memorial of one who loved the people in his life, and was faithful to them till his death.

THE FOUNDER OF THE TRIBUNE. THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS DEATH. [From the Tribune, Nov. 30, 1872.] In the unexpected event which has clothed our columns in weeds of mourning, a profound sorrow has fallen not only upon the circles of domestic intimacy and friendly attachment in which the face of the departed had shone for so many years as a gracious benediction, but ujion a wide-spread portion of the American people, by whom his name had been fondly cherished as the devoted advocate of generous ideas, and the earnest prophet of the advancement of humanity. Few men in public or private life in this coimtry had gathered around them so large a host of admiring friends. He was the object not only of profound reverence, but of tender aifection. The splendor of his intellectual powers had called forth enthusiastic homage, even from those who differed most widely from him in opinion ; but the qualities of his heart had inspired an almost roman- tic love, " surpassing the love of women." In this hour of softened remembrance, how many eyes will be wet with sorrow as they read the lines that announce the departure of that noble spirit from his wonted sphere of grand and beneficient activity For some time past the health of Mr. Greeley had been seriously impaired, but not to so great a degree as to awaken the apprehen- sions of his friends.

  • Abraham Lincoln Papers
    Abraham Lincoln papers From Sydney H. Gay to [John G. Nicolay], September 17, 1864 New York, Sept. 17 1864 1 My Dear Sir— I write you at the suggestion of Mr. Wilkerson to state a fact or two which possibly you may make use of in the proper quarter. 1 Samuel Wilkeson was Washington bureau chief of the New York Tribune. Formerly an ally of Thurlow Weed, Wilkeson at this time was in the camp of Horace Greeley. 2 The recent changes in the N. Y. Custom House have been made at the demand of Thurlow Weed. 3 4 This is on the authority of a statement made by Mr. Nicolay to Surveyor Andrews & Genl. Busteed. Now Andrews refuses to resign, & if he is removed he will publish the facts substantiated by oath & 5 correspondence. It will go to the country that Mr. Lincoln removed from office a man of whom he thought so well that he promised to give him anything he asked hereafter, provided he would enable the President now to accede to the demands of the man who, outside of this state, is universally beleived to be the most infamous political scoundrel that ever cursed any country, & in the state is without influence with the party which he has publicly denounced & abandoned. Mr. Lincoln ought to know immediately that such is the attitude which he will occupy before the people if he persists in this matter. Andrews will defend himself, & I know, from a consultation with some of the leading men in the party here, to-day, that he will be upheld & justified in it, be the consequences what they may.

  • The Democratic Split During Buchanan's Administration
    THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT DURING BUCHANAN'S ADMINISTRATION By REINHARD H. LUTHIN Columbia University E VER since his election to the presidency of the United States Don the Republican ticket in 1860 there has been speculation as to whether Abraham Lincoln could have won if the Democratic party had not been split in that year.' It is of historical relevance to summarize the factors that led to this division. Much of the Democratic dissension centered in the controversy between President James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian, and United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. The feud was of long standing. During the 1850's those closest to Buchanan, par- ticularly Senator John Slidell of Louisiana, were personally antagonistic toward Douglas. At the Democratic national conven- tion of 1856 Buchanan had defeated Douglas for the presidential nomination. The Illinois senator supported Buchanan against the Republicans. With Buchanan's elevation to the presidency differences between the two arose over the formation of the cabinet.2 Douglas went to Washington expecting to secure from the President-elect cabinet appointments for his western friends William A. Richardson of Illinois and Samuel Treat of Missouri. But this hope was blocked by Senator Slidell and Senator Jesse D. Bright of Indiana, staunch supporters of Buchanan. Crestfallen, 'Edward Channing, A History of the United States (New York, 1925), vol. vi, p. 250; John D. Hicks, The Federal Union (Boston and New York, 1937), p. 604. 2 Much scholarly work has been done on Buchanan, Douglas, and the Democratic rupture. See Philip G.

Having recently endured a presidential election that seemed to go on forever, why would we want to read about another? To a true political junkie such a question would be as incomprehen¬sible as if you asked a basketball fan who had followed last year's interminable NBA playoffs why he would watch this year's. True political fans can never get enough of their favorite sport, which is probably why the University of Kansas Press has launched a series of monographs on American Presidential Elec-tions. This study of the election of 1876 has been assigned to Michael F. Holt, a historian at the University of Virginia, best known for his studies of pre-Civil War politics. Earlier volumes in the series have examined the elections of 1848, 1888, and 1960. It will be noticed that each of these initial selec¬tions were hotly contested and closely decided canvasses, and that of 1876 is often regarded as the most suspenseful of all (at least up to that of 2000 which it resem¬bles in so many ways).
