The Cincinnati Enquirer Urges the
Claims of Mr.. PendIetOn for Presi-
dent.
CrNcrKNArI, Oct. 21.-The Cincinnati I
ENQUIRER of tomorrow morning will pre-
sent the name of Geo. III. Pendleton as the
choice of the Democracy Of Ohio and the
Northwest for the next President of the
United States. The Enquirer enjoyed
great celebrity as being the leading organ
of Douglas in 1860 In about six months
the National Convention of the Democratic
party viii meet for the purpose of select
ing their candidate for President and Vice
President of the United States. In cons
mon with the Democracy of other States,
our friends in Ohio have preferences, and
that preference we propose to express. 1t
is a preference that none who know the
sentiment of our people who have seen it
manifested in many and various ways in
the local press, in private letters, and 10
political conventions, will dispute. Iii is,
therefore, in the name of the victorious
Democracy of Ohio who, but the
other day, sent greeting to the
Democracy of the Union that Ohio
was redeemed from the rule of ia
naticism, that she had indicated the conN
stitution and arrested the bold career of the
madmen who have been trampling upon
the rights and liberties of the people. In
their name.we this day seize upon the
honor of presenting the claims of Ohio's
native son, Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, to the
Democracy of the country as Ohio's choice
for the high office of President of the
United States He is not only Ohio's
choice, but he is the favorite of Kentucky,
who will send full delegation for him to
the National Convention. Indiana, Hi
nois Missouri and Minnesota will not be
behind Ohio and Kentucky in their devo-
ton to Ohio's noble and trusted statesman.
He is, by all odds, this day the strongest
candidate in the Northwest, and we have
reason to believe in the United States. He
possesses in a great degree the Democratic
popular confidence which was given to
Stephen A. Douglas, and upon him has
| fallen in the Northwest the mantle of that
eminent man; a gentleman, soldier and
! statesman, whose character is known to
| the country and is everywhere recognized
and respected by all parties. In the very
| prime of life, with mind Injured to Gull
tivation and steady with the habits of a
/ profound thinker, theexperlnceo OF a learned
legislator, eminently sound in judg-
ment, eloquent in the expression of his
thoughts, candid in his political views,
with an integrity that was never ques-
toned. He is that model of President
which we had in the early days Of the re-
| public With him as our candidate, stand
ing upon the platform of the constitution,
equal justice to all sectionso Of ourcOmmon
country, with equality to all special priv,
ileges to none; the same currency for the
bondholders. that the peopleare compelled
to reeeive;the prompt payment the public
debt, as it falls due, as the legal tender of
the nation. The immediate restoration of
the Southern States to the Union, with their
full share of representation in both houses
of the government, as guaranteed by the
constitution, and universal amnesty for all
| political ofienses. With such platform,
and Geo. Ii. Pendleton as its exponent,
we will sweep Ohio by fifty thousand ma
jority, and also the country as we did with
Franklin Pierce in 1852, when the con-
queror of Mexico, Gen. Scott, was the can
didate of the opposition.
