And where, as in a great city like New York, the general newspapers circulated broadcast cannot fill it, there exist small newspapers published on Greeley's pattern for sections of the city. These diaries are published for people who find their own lives interesting.
If the result of Mr. Greeley's Niagara efforts left any doubt that peace was at present unattainable, the fact was demonstrated beyond question by the published report of another unofficial and volunteer negotiation which was proceeding at the same time.
There were long-haired and spectacled doctrinaires from New England, spliced by short-haired and stumpy emissaries from New York mostly friends of Horace Greeley, as it turned out. There were brisk Westerners from Chicago and St. Louis. If Whitelaw Reid, who had come as Greeley's personal representative, had his retinue, so had Horace White and Carl Schurz.
'So that is "The Little Mother" of whom I have heard so often, said McClingan, as we came away. 'What do you think of her? I enquired. 'Wonderful woman! he said. 'I never heard such a voice. It gives me visions. Every other is as the crackling of thorns under a pot. I came back to the office and went into Mr Greeley's room to bid him goodbye.
How many others of Mr. Greeley's hearers fared as I did I do not know. Speaking of parading, my old desire to roam, that kept cropping out at intervals, paid me a characteristic trick at this time. I was passing through a horse-market when I saw a fine-looking, shapely young horse put up at what seemed a ridiculously low price.
The trustees of Bedford Academy passed a resolution permitting Horace Greeley, although outside of the district, to enter their school, while a few teachers raised a purse, and made an offer to his father to send the boy to Phillips Exeter Academy. But pride prevented. Horace Greeley's childhood fell on evil days. Men were miserably poor. It was one long warfare with hunger and cold.
He, however, insisted upon it, saying that all pledges and preferences would disappear because of Greeley's services to the party for so many years. When we arrived at Syracuse and stated our determination to present Mr. Greeley's name, it was hilariously received as a joke.
It was communicated to the country through the columns of Greeley's paper on the 5th of August. Greeley, who so short a time before was for peace at any price, went the whole length of reaction by proclaiming that "Mr. Lincoln is already beaten.... We must have another ticket to save us from utter overthrow.
Greeley's single eye the country suffered to the extent of $200,000, for in the exports appeared nothing, but among the imports $200,000 worth of foreign gewgaws, only fit to keep time with. This lard was carried to England, where it found no sale, and was reshipped to New York. Greeley's one eye, that the country was on the road to ruin $600,000 worth.
These sold, the avails were invested in barrows, spades, water-wheels, wages, &c., and in good time the canal was cut and the manufactory set a-going. Profitable as this thing was to N, Mr. Greeley's single-barrelled telescope sees in it only a loss to the country of $1,000,000.
