such Convention at some central point
in the West, aud on a day not later than
the 22d of February. The call should
be issued by the National Executive Com
mittee. and delegates should be appoint

The business of this body should be to
carefully aud patiently weigh all the
views laid before it, aud to agree upon
and publish a clear and definiss dsciara
ton of principles upon all matters atect-
lug the political welfare OF the people
and the safety of our free institutions
This being done, it should adjourn toa

The Louisville Courier Journal pub
fishes an account of society formed in
some of the Southern States, for the pur
pose of getting rid OF such negro thieves
aud desperadoes as can be induced by
money to quit the country, BY shipping
them TO the Northern States; aud thinks
the device of paying marauders to go
elsewhere, instead of Ku kluxing them,
a good idea, although perhaps unjust to
the Northern communities to which 1t is
proposed to send them. There is no &C.

science on this score. There Is no pro
liability that the society will ever send as
many thieves North as we have sent

MIR. Greeley and the Presidency
/ Sir. Greeley, in the Tribune, IN reply
to the Times article saying be commit
ted the stupendOus folly of permitting
himself to entertain dreams of the Pres
idency. says:
Within six or eight mouths be re-
ceived thirty or forty letters, mainly from
private persons, proposing that be be

answers, so far as he found time to an
swer them at all, were in the spirit OF the
only letter he remembered 20 have seen
In print, TO VIM Larimer, of Leaven-
worth, Kansas, of the 4th of May last,
viz: That he was DOT an aspirant tor
any office. but would not decline any
duty his political friends devoive upon

certain that he will never make himself
a candidate for President. 1t seems
quite improbable that others will ever
make him such, but those who have sug-
gested or may hereafter suggest him as
candidate have exactly the same right as
so many other citizens. neither less nor

is already selected, and all discussion on
the subject foreclosed. We respectfully
protest against the acrimony, maIevo
lenee. aud proscriptive venom manifested
by certain journals, which have been set
on to clear the field of all intruders. If
majority have already decided the
Presidential question, there can be Meth
er harm nor danger in allowing the mi
nority to indicate their dissent. Let the
semblaDce, at least, of freedom of choice
be maintained and not drown all diversi-
ty in the boarse clamor that no differ
ence exists. 1t is now generally conce
ded that our next President must be a
Republican. In the ranks of the domi-
nant party are many better soldiers,
though none older than he, who here

Not Too Fast.

Under the caption of this article, we
find in the New York World an excellent
article on the proposed combination with
the anti-Grant Republicans, from which
we make the following extracts, to the
careful perusal of which we invite the
Democracy:
"WhiIe we deem it wise aud patriotic
to invite the co operation of the Repub
lean enemies OF Gen. Grant, and to
make it easy for them to act with US,
they must understand that it is we, and
not they, whose hands are on the helm
of the Democratic ship. We are willing
10 take them in as partners. but their
control can only be in proportion to
the active capital they bring into the
concern. They know who we are, but
we do rot know who they are. To the
last Presidential election, under very ad
verse circumstances, we cast 2.643, 612
votes for Seymour against 978, 81 for
Grant when his military laurels were
still fresh; and surely Gen Grants con
duet in the Presidency has not won over
any Democratic votes to his side The

as yet, no trustworthy data for estimating
either their strength or the boldness,
courage, and determination of their
leaders Until they are 10 position to
give Us information on these points, We
shall go too far'if we do more than sig
n,fy willingness to co operate on houor
able terms. The completion of the pro
posed betrotbal must depend upon what
resources they can show in arranging the
marriage settlement
at would be an egregious blunder for
the Democratic party to consent to the
SO called passive policy" until the Re
publican opposition to Grant has taken
form aud body. \ provisional passivity
may be we'll enough; but it must be un
derstood that it is merely provisional and
expectant. There is no necessity for
calling the Democratic National Con
vention earlier than July or August;
and if, meanwhile, there should be no
organized Republican bolt against Grant
the Democratic party must have its for
ces in readiness for vigorous iudepend
ent campaign, planned to draw off in
detail the liberal Republicans whom de-
fective leadership may prevent from
seeding in a body. The new movement
is so we'll started that it requires no fur
Their pushing; and We must take care that
it does not disintegrate the Democratic
party.

Montgomery BlaIr's Views Of

Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal
A long iDterview with Hon. Montgom-
cry Blair on the Presidential campaign
is printed here. Mr. Blair roundly de-
n6uuces Grant as an ignorant man. with
a strong will that compels Congress to
obey him 10 all things Let the Demo
cratic party as an organization stand
back. ADD let the field be kept clear to
the disafTected and Independent Repub-
licans The Missouri programme suits
me. There the Radicals were defeated
through this kind of cooperation. Let
the Radicals call their convention aud
nominate Grant, and then let the indie
pendent Republicans bolt and nominate
whoever they please. and then let the
Democrats rally to his support. This is
the way Lincoln got 10 10 1860. and in
this way Grant can easily be defeated.

it has been under consideration now for
about year, and it meets with but little
