Wollack'e—Our Americas Cousie, Horace Greeley. ‘The mortal remains of Horace GREELEY were interred yesterday. It was a scene of public mourning. The whole city shared in the funeral ceremonies. Our people always seemed to cherish toward Mr. GREELEY & Warmer personal regard than toward any other distinguished citizen. For more than forty years hehad lived among as & most conspicuous person; and now ‘that death has followed so swiftly upon his defeat as a candidate for the highest office, and that his memorable career has closed with a tragic catastrophe, this feel- ing is warmed into a tender and respect ful affection which forms his best eu- fogium. ‘The facts of Mr. Greeey’s life and the incidents of its close have been laid before our readers; and it only remains for us to consider the kind of influence he has so long exerted upon his coum trymen, and the qualities of mind and character which will determine the final verdict of history upon his life. By profession he was a journalist; by na- ture and habit he was o politician, As a journalist ho raised himself to eminence as great aud power ns widely ex- tended as the ablest and most ambitious ean ever hope for. As a politician he en- joyed the strange fortune of being sup- ported as a candidate for the Presidency by « numerous and most intelligent portion of the Republican party which he helped to found, and by the whole organization and the great mass of voters of the Demo- eratic party which he had always opposed. In this unprecedented situation it is his glory that he evinced a solid political wis- dom, and a variety and wealth of intel- ev tual LesvUrces such ae even his warmest admirers had not believed hima to possess; oo that although the canvass ended in de- feat, the disaster left him with enhanced renown, and with myriads of friends drawn from among those who had before con- temned and decried him. Those who have examined the his- tory of this remarkable man and who know how to estimate the friendiess- ness, the disabilities, and the disadvan- tages which surrounded his childhood and youth; the scanty opportunities, or rather the absence of all opportu- nity, of education; tbe destitution and loneliness amid which he struggied for for the? Possession # knowledge ; and the “infinentig” seat “ana pertinacity with which he provided for himself the mate- rials for intellectual growth, will heartily echo the popular judgment that he was indeed a man of genius, marked out from his cradle to inspire, animate, and instruct others. From the first, when @ ebild in his father's log cabin, lying upon the hearth that ho might read by the flickering fire- light, his attention was given almost ex- chusively to public and political affairs. This determined his vocation as a journal- ist; and he seems never to have felt any attraction toward any other of the intellec- tual professious. He never had a thought of being a physician, a clergyman, an en- gineer, ora lawyer. Private questions, in- dividual controversies had little concern for him exceptas they were connected with public interests. Politics and newspapers were his delight, and he learned to be a printer in order that he might beeome a newspaper maker. And after he was the editor of a newspaper, what chiefly en- gaged him was the discussion of political and social questions. His whole greatness as © journalist was in this sphere. For the collection and digestion of news, with the exception of election statistics, he had no great fondness and no special ability. He valued talent in that department only because he knew it was essential to the suc- cess of the newspaper he loved. His own thoughts were always elsewher Accordingly there have t journal- ists who as such, strictly speaking, have surpassed him. Minds not devoted to par- ticular doctrines, not absorbed in the ad- vocacy of cherished ideas—in a word, minds that believe little and aim only at the passing success of a day—may enaily excel ono like him in the preparation ofa inere newspaper. Mr, Gre: the antipodes of al} such persons. He ways absolutely in earnest. His convictions were intense; he had that peculiar cour- age, most precious in a great man, which enables him to adhere to Lis own line of action despite the excited appeals of friends and the menaces of variable pub- lic opinion; and his constant purpose was to assert his principles, to fight for them, and present them to the public in the way most likely to give them the same hold upon other minds which they had upon his own. In fact, he was not so touch a journalist, in the proper meaning of that term, as a pamphleteer or writer of leading articles, In this sphere of effort he had scarcely an eq His command of Janguage was extraordinary, though he had little imagination, and his vocabulary was limited ; but he possessed the faculty of ex- pressing himself in a racy, virile manner, within the apprehension of every reader, As he treated every topic in a practical rather than a philosophical spirit, and with strong feeling rather than infallible logic, so he never wrote above the heads of the public, What he said was plain, clear, striking, His illustrations were quaint and homely, sometimes even vulgar, but they never failed to tell. He was gifted also with an excellent humor which greatly enlivened his writing. In retort, espe- cially when provoked, he was dangerous to his antagonist; and though his r soning might be faulty, be would fri quently gain his cause by a flash of wit that took the public, and, as it were, hustled bis adversary out of court. But he was not always a victorious polemic. Mis vehemence in controversy was some- times too precipitate for his prudence; ho would rush into a fight with his armor unfastened, and with only a gart of the Hecessary weapons; and as the Mate Wasi- ‘Noron Hunt once expressed it, he could be more damaging to bis friends than to Bis opponents. The Tribune wa established in 184). and about that time there was an extriord nary crop of schemes and movements of reform, SyLvester GRAHAM had inyented his new theory of diet; the temperance cause had just taken on a new life; the so-called moral reformers were very ac- tive; the Abolitioniste had been divided by the question of woman's right to take part in public meetings; Ronerr OwEn was advocating his theory of communism; and ALBERT Brispane had just propound- cd the immense social system of Fourrgn. The time was overflowing with novel no- tions, and many of them Mr. Graruey, then @ young man, cordially adopted. He wasa Grahamite; he was a teetotaller; he wasa moral reformer; and above all, he sc- cepted the idea of combining families in associations, and of carrying on industry in cotperative shops and farms. This idea was but a part of Fourrenr’s theory, and although it was the only part which Mr, Guesxey ever really adopted, it subjected him to the imputation of being a thorough Fourierist, a full believer in passional attraction, and all ite consequences. His support of cotperation and of other reforms iu which he was inter- ested was regarded by his partners as in- jurious to the Tribune; but he paid no attention to their remonstrances. That journal soon gained the reputation of being the organ of every sort of ism and fantas- tichobby. This was exaggerated much be- yond the truth; but to a certain extent it was just. There was always an element of eccentricity in Mr. Gresusy’s mind; and while this imparted a kind of fresh- ness to his writing and kept the curiosity of the reader alive, there is no doubt its manifestations weakened the public confi- dence in him as a leader and pre- pared the way for the signal political rout which has now been followed by his death. His attitude as a reformer also gained for him the reputation of a humanitarian and philanthropist, one bent chiefly on assuag- ing the woes of mankind. This distinc- tion he repeatedly disclaimed. He was nota philanthropist, he said; his purpose was only to establish justice and equal rightsamong men. There was truth in this disclaimer. His sensibilities were un- commonly quick, but mere benevo- lence, or the purpose of simply doing good to others, did not control him. Though he hated to witness any scene of misery, he had no skill in personally administering to distress, Besides, his ruling motives were of the intellect more than of the heart. He contended against slavery, not because he cared particularly for the negroes—on the contrary he rather disliked them— but because it was contrary to that democratic equality which was the fundamental principle of his political creed, and because he understood that slavery was not only an aristocratic but an intolerant element in our politics; and that under its rte neither be nor any other northern man could hope for prefer- ment except as the reward of servility and self-abasement; and for this he was too upright and too proud. So with his life- long advoeacy of temperance; it did not Proceed from any sympathy with men governed by the passion for liquor. Such men he looked upon with disgust and contempt: and in the possibility of their TeffriatloN ba hgbityally disbelieved. Temperance in his view was d braygh of political economy, a sort of public hygiene tending to promote the general happiness and increase the wealth of the community; and his views were similar in respect of every reform and every philanthropic cause which he advocated. » The occasional uncertainty of bis judg- ment was probably due, in a measure, to the deficiency of hiseducation. Self-edu- cated men are not always endowed wich the strong logical faculty and sure good sense which are developed and strength- ened by thorough intellectual culture. Besides, a man of powerful intellect who is not regularly disciplined, is apt to fall into an exaggerated mental self- esteem from which more aecurate train- ing and information would have preserved him. But the very imperfection of Grer- Lry's early studies had a compensation in the fact that they left him, in all the tendencies and habits of his mind, an American. No foreign mixture of thought or tradition went to the eomposi- tion of his strong intelligence. Of all the great men who have become renowned on this side of the Atlantic he was most purely and entirely a product of the country and its institutions, Accordingly a sturdy reliance on his own conclusions and a readiness to defy the world in their behalf were among his most strongly marked characteristics, But a kind of moral unstendiness dimin- ished his power. The miseries of bis child- hood had left their trace in a querulous, lamentable, helpless tone of feeling, into which he fell upon any little misfortune or disappointment; and as he grew older he came to lack hope. When the Kansas-Nebraska bill was proposed in Congress he was at first scarcely willing to make any unusual fight against it because, he said, resistance would be ineffectual; and the whole of the great campnign against that measure, ia which the Tribune, enlist- Ing the pens of many of the most brilliant writers of the time, displayed such adinir- able vitality and gained such a hold upon the country, was fought with his consent Indeed, but with very littie active aid and little encouragement from him. Similar irresohition was displayed on the approach of the rebellion, He seemed to be dazed by the magnitude of the @anger, and surank from the terrible evils of war—the bloodshed, the demoralization, the pecuniary loss, the arrest of the indus- try and progress of the country which it involved, His nature was too sensitive to contemplate such things without horror, aud he hoped to the last that they might be avoided. Bat, to his honor be it said, he scorned to compromise his prin- ciples or to form any new alliance with slavery, even to avoid what seemed to him” so dreadful, Prominent and most intluen- tial members of his party were dispose to make such a compromise; but GreeLey resisted them with determination, and the project came to naught. It shonld also be understood that Willingness to let the South go, bh he then manifested, was in part a product of the same distrust of the event which be had exhibited at the time of the Nebraska conflict. It was his abiding fear thatif the Union remaine? together slavery would be sure to triumph at last, and that the whole country would thus be brought permanently under the heel of that institution, This fear was aggravated by a profound dislike of President Lixcoy and by dissatisfaction with the composi- tion of his Adminietration. Finally, when the tardy movements of the national forces in the spring of 1861 gave rise to general discontent, he shared this feeling, and ex- Pressed it in the Tribune iu oue or two it articles. ‘Then, mathe cry of “On Richmond” was raised in echo to his own suggestions by Gen, Fitz Henry Warren of Iowa, © Washington cor- respondent of the paper, . GREELEY allowed it to be repeated and enforced through his columns; but he looked with anxiety and doubt for the result, Af- ter the defeat of Bull Run he consented to the publication of @ critical axticle written by another band, in which the conduct of the war was sternly condemned, and a change in the administration de- manded. The next day, however, hia pur- pose swerved; his fears got the mastery; and in the celebrated manifesto entitled “Just Once" he renounced all thought of controlling the policy of the Government, and declared that he should henceforth publish the news of military movements, but abstain from dictating to the President on any subject, He also wrote to the same purport*a private letter to President Lrn- COLN, which that astute politician, who dealt with him always as with a foe, kept aso singular kind of treasure. From the effects of his voluntary yet disorderly retreat in this unequalled crisis, Mr. Gneevey never fully re- covered, ~ The equilibrium of his mind was soon regained, while the justice of his original view of the case was admitted by Mr. Lixconn when he appointed a new General-in-Chief and a new Secretary of War, and by both houses of Con- gress in numerous acts and resolu- tions; but the Tribune did not recover the position it had abandoned, Mr. Guer- Ley in due time again began to urge his views upon the country and the Ex- ecutive, especially in reference to the supreme question of emancipation; but his sword-arm had been broken, and his blows fell comparatively without effect. We recall these incidents because they seem necessary toa complete view of Mr. Greeiey’s character and achievements, and illustrate, better than any mere analy- sis can do, the peouliarities and intrica- cies of his mental constitution. We say, then, that in his professional capacity, he was a great writer, a great champion of his ideas of public policy, enthusiastic, forcible, and original, ile the Whig party remained, he was the strongest de- fender of its doctrines, especially of pro- tection to American industry; as a politi- cal advocate even Henry Clay was not his equal; and although the Republi- can party would probably have been founded had he not lived, it was more indebted to his peu and to his counsels for its rapid growth and efficacious devel- opment, than to those of any other man. ‘As a politician he was a thorough- going adherent of his party, and even where its policy and its nominations ran counter to his feelings be stood by it de votedly. But he was never slavish in his adherence. One of his most notable acts was supporting the nomination of Gen. Scort while he spat upon the piat- form on which the Convention had placed him. While the proper field of his political activity was in the columns of his news- paper, and while the journalist in him was always more conspicuous than the politi- cian, he was no stranger to the manage- ment of conventions, or to the details of local nominations or elections. In an ex- cited canvass we have seen him stand all day ot the polls of his voting pre- cinet, distributing ballgts and convers- ing with the voters, working more industriously and zealously than any Map hired to do that kind of labor. Bis inter- est in these affairs was unceasing, and bis suggestions always valuable. During the long struggle which resulted in the elec- tion of Gen. BANKs as Speaker, he remained in Washington participating in every phase of that heady contest, But while he was fertile in advice, he was deficient in exe- cutive faculty. Hehad none of the extra- ordinary talent of Tavrtow Weep in the management of other men; so that as a politician he must be classed among the thinkers rather than the doers. It should also be said, and probably to his credit, that he was never a favorite with the active party managers. He was re- garded as impracticable, insubordinate, and not amenable to the designs of those who make politics a profession. For these reasons his just ambition for political ad- vancoment was never adequately recom nized; in fact—and this shows how proud and shrinking his nature was atthe bottom —for a long time it was not even suspected. Men inferior to him in every quality of mind and character were promoted to high office in his stead, because those who pulled the wires could ney, feel sure that if in power he would do ex- actly what they wanted. For this reason ho regular political organization ever brought him forward as a candidate when there was any strong probnbility that he would be elected. The Republicans nomi- nated him for several offices, but always when defeat was well nigh certain; and had the Liberal movement been more con- solidated and more thoroughly disciplined, he would hardly have been successful at Cincmnati. It is certain that he hoped for that nomination; no doubt the desire to be President had long dwelt in his mind; but he was too proud to ask any man to support him there; and he told some of his intimate friends beforehand that in his judgment Judge Davis was the strongest candidate they could select. As aman, Horace GRreery was, first of all, a sincere, thorough-going democrat. He met every one as an equal, and was free alike from snobbish deference and social presumption. He was also exceed- ingly generous and charitable. While he was still poor we have known him to re- spond to a demand for pecuniary assist- ance, made by some person to whom he was under no obligations, by sitting up late at night and writing an article for some magazine, by which he could get $25 or 840 to give away. According to the necessity of his profession, his personal friends were comparatively few; but though he was too much occupied with his thoughts and his professional ayocations to give much time to social intercourse, they could always count upon him in any time of need, His purse and his credit were theirs; he hastened to their assistance often before they asked it; and if he died comparatively ® poor man, the fact is chiefly due to his lavish and persistent benefaetions toward them. But those who cultivated his society most were not always such 4s could best appreciate him, THe was fond of admiration and open to flattery ; and tlatterers too often deluded him, He was an affectionate rather than an atten- tive husband and father, His feelings were easily touched; but his attachments were notdeep. In his private relations to his public opponents he retained none of the bitterness of controversy, and was always ready to mect them out of the arena with genial courteby and kindvess: and yet he ‘wha jentous rather than confiding, and sus- Picious rather than tolerant, But after all it ws not as ® man or a6 a politician that he is to be judged, In his mind his newspaper was the predominant object. He thought of it, loved it, lived for it beyond all other things; it was, in his opinion, his own best elf, enlarged, glorified, and made perma- nent; but he sought for it extended influ- ente rather than increased profits; and he never sacrificed his opinions to the desire for ite prosperity. In this respect no honester man evet lived. And finally let us say of him that his influence and his efforts were uniformly exerted in favor of manly industry, independence, and honesty; and that the world at large and the young men who are now coming to manhood in this country are more able to help themselves, more upright, more under the dominion of truth and morality because Horace Greeiey bas lived among them and taught them, In burying Mr. Gaeetey we bury the third founder of newspaper which has become famous and wealthy in this city during the last thirty-five years, Mr. Raymonp died three years and Mr. Bexwerr barely six months ago. These three men were exceedingly un- like each other, yet each of them possessed extraordinary professional talents. Mr. RAYMOND surpassed both Mr. Bennerr and Mr. Greecey in the versatility of his accomp!'shments, and in facility and smoothness as a writer. But he was less @ journalist than either of the other two. Nature had rather intend- ed him for a lawyer, and success as a legislative debater and presiding officer had directed his ambition toward that kind of life. Mr. Bennerr was exclusively a newspaper man. THe was equally great as a writer, a wit, and @ purveyor of news; and he never showed any desire to leave a profession in which he had made himself rich and formidable. Horace GneeLey delighted to be a maker of newspapers, not so much for the thing itself, though to that he was sincerely attached, as for the sake of promoting doctrines, ideas, and theories in which he was a believer; aud his personal ambition, which was very profound and never inoperative, made him wish to be Governor, Legislator, Sen- ator, Cabinet Minister, President, because such elevation seemed to afford the clear- est possible evidence that he himself was appreciated and that the cause he es poured had gained the hearts of the people. How incomplete, indeed, would be the triumph of any set of principles if their chief advocate and promoter ware to go unrecognized and unhonored ! It is a most impressive circumstance that each of these three great journalists bas had to die ® tragical and a pitiable death. One perished by apoplexy long after mid- night in the entrance of his own home; another closed his eyes with no relative near him to perform that last sad office; and the third, broken Gown by toils, ex- citements, and sufferings too strong to be borne, breathed his last in a private mad house. Whata lesson to the possessors of power, for these three men were powerful beyond others! What a commentary upon human greatness, for they were rich and great, and were looked upon with envy by thousands who thought themselves less fortunate than they! And amid such startling surprises and such a prodigious conflict of lights and wa, the curtain falls as the tired actor, crowned with long Holause, passes from that which seems to that which Ja. ¥ Judge Nelson Successor. The Hon. Warn Howt of Utica, who has been appointed to the bench of the Su- preme Court of the United States in the room of Judge Ne.soy, is a jurist of re- spectable attainments. In the fall of 1865 he was elected a Judge of the Court of Appeals for eight years, and became Chief Judge in January, 1868, on the death of the Hon. WittiaM B, Wrieut, When the new judiciary article of our State Constitution abolished the old Court of Appeals in July, 1870, Judge Hunt became ex officio one of the five Commissioners of Appeals created by that article to aid in finishing up the business of the old court; and he vacates this office to go upon the Supreme bench at Wastingtou, Previous to his election in 1865 Judge Huvt had held no office, we believe, e4- cept a single term in the Assembly as a representative from Oneida in 1839, He was closely devoted to his profession, and was suceessful therein, but was neither a profound lawyer nor a brilliant advocate. Previous to the organization of the Repub- lican party Mr. HUNT was @ Democrat of the Barnburner school, and was one of those Free-Soll Democrats who aided in forming the party in this State. fas CAE odes hae “Liberal appropriations” for the Dis trict of Columbia are recommended by the Presi- dent in bis late message; indeed “ liberal ap- propriations” ls written all ovet the message and stands ovt between the lines.
