New York, June 1, 1872 "It has been widely asserted, since the Cincinnati nominations, that Mr. Greeley has been a consistent enemy of the South.

The following compilation, from THE TRIBUNE, of Mr. Greeley's most notable utterances on the subjects of Amnesty and Reconstruction, from the news of Gen. Lee's surrender onward, is respectfully submitted."
