THE PRESIDENCY.

The nomination Of HORACE GREELEY
Tor President OF the United States is a
tribute TO the power Of the newspaper
press that will be everywhere recog'
nized. From poverty and ohsCur!ty he
has steadily risen to the central place
in popular regard. Dnring the past
twenty years the name OF HORACE
GREELEY has been the synonym OF
everything that was opposed TO Democ-
racy. IL vas the early advocate OF
Federal control over State affairs and
was the most determined and iotlren-
t;al opponent Of the much abused
doctrine OF States Rights that was
anywhere to lie found. In addition 10
this, heis, to quote his own words, "a
ferocious protcctonist," and is generally
recognized as the Apostle Of the high
tariff interest.
These consideration: render HORACE
GREELEY particularly Objectionable to
the Democracy Of the country, hut his
big human heart outwe CHS a whole
lifetime of Radicalism and ali who have
had any opportunity Of personal inter
course with the man are willing to
admit that he means we'll; that he i,
an honest man; AMI that the interest,
of the country wi! suffer no serious
detriment ct his hands.
At the same time we would not be
understood as fayoring GREELEY and
Brown above al possible competitors
4 straight out Democratic nomination
the presentation of 4 name that would
be recognized as tower of strength IN
both the South and the North; the Of
fering Of candidate Who would bring
back the old days CT the republic and
give due recognition TO the people :
will; the acknowledgment Of the fac.
that history las been forming during
the past four years an! that, although
principles are immutabe, ye' "7s"Poro
nutantur ct nos mutanur az Ills.
General GRANT must be beaten. The
safety of the republic demands his
RELOCATION to private life. II the choice
is simply between GRANT and GREELEY,
no lover OF his country can hesitate &c
give his support to Mr.. GREELEY. #
however, a regular and thorough soing
Democratic candidate is uomin2tcd and
an effort is made to bring the Admins
tration back 10 the purity OF Democratic
times, we believe that West Virginia
may be relied upon for five electoral
votes for the Democratic NOMINEE.
