Horace Greeley in Tremont Temple.
Horace Greeley spoke before the Emancipation League at Tremont Temple, to the largest audience of the course, thus far. He had a warm welcome, and he spoke with a good degree of the Tribune "vein." He seemed on the whole rather hopeful; congratulated his auditors in view of the fact that there will never be any more compromises with slavery, and that, directly or indirectly, slavery is doomed. He reiterated, with genuine earnestness, the saying of Senator Johnson of Tennessee, that traitors should not be permitted to own anything—and so, of course, not slaves.
Greeley is "no orator as Phillips is." He has no graces of gesture, nor musical intonations of voice. But he is eloquent, for he never says a word for effect—says his real thoughts, and is always sincere.—Gospel Banner.
