The Daily Dispatch: December 23, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 4 (search)
Horace Greeley is a man who speaks his own thoughts whether they please or displease those to whom they are addressed. Here is a little bit of satire from his pen: "If no other reason existed for the pardon of Davis, this would do: If he is hanged, whom can the 'loyal organs' abuse? When Wirz was living, he was a most fruitful subject. If Davis goes, their case will be distressing. We would recommend, as an emergency victim, the Czar of Russia, or the King of Abyssinia. By all means let us have the King served up."
