Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Horace Greeley Decently Dissected, in a Letter on Horace Greeley, Addressed by an Oakey Hall to Joseph Hoxie, Esq. The letter which forms the basis of this brochure was published in the Leader of December 14, 1860; and subsequently was copied by the Herald, January 4, 1861, accompanied with an illustrative, piquant, and characteristic editorial. The writer has been warned by many of his own friends, and by some of Horace Greeley´s admirers, against the folly of provoking so powerful a newspaper editor. To the former, the writer has replied that there is a scriptural history about a shepherd boy, and a taunting, bragging, powerful giant; and that even pebbles, if well chosen, and if well aimed, can do execution against a Goliah. To the latter, class, the writer has answered, that although sensible, that like not a few other political, legal, and literary hacks, the writer resides in a three-story glass house; yet the question is not and cannot become one concerning the obscure individual and his demerits, but remains about the Editor and public man, who, seeking to lead public sentiment, is amenable to its judgment. It is a naked question of exposing to history and posterity, for the good of real morality, a crying public abuse which existed in the past.
