Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-A careful view
of the political field, and comparison OF
information received in this city from all
quarters of the Union, discloses the fact
that the Democracy throughout the coun-
try are rapidly concentrating on Greeley
and Brown. In the South there IS great
unanimity of sentiment, While In such
States as Virginia, Tennessee and Missis-
sippi the feeling is one Of positive enJhusl-
asm. In Georgia, where the influence OF
Mr.. Stephens was looked to with much ap-
prehensioa by Greeley's friends, the public
sentiment is understood to be largely Tor
Greeley; and in Kentucky, where the Boil
ter element made at first fierce opposition
to Greeley, it is stated that now at least
three-fourths of the Democracy favor Gree
ley's Endorsement. In Alabama the senti-
ment is very decided, in Jackson county
the great Democratic stronghold OF NortE
Alabama, it is reported that everybody is
for Greeley.
In New England the party have settled
down on the fusion as the only path t.
victory. New Ymk has chosen Greele.

A gentleman of much prominence in the
| West wrote letter, not long ago, to Mr..
Greeley, with reference to his position, and
the complications which might arise in con-
nectiOn with the Baltimore Convention,
and making the inquiry whether or not Mr.
Greeley would retire if the Democrats at
Baltimore should nominate separate can
didate. To this letter Mr.. Greeley respond
ed that he should stand by his editorial OF
April 10. Subsequently the same gentle
man, during a recent visit to New York,
had a conversation with Mr.. Greeley upon
the subject, when the latter, in effect, stated
that, after considering the matter very care
fully, and having laid the question before
some Of his most trusted friends for thelr
opinion, be had decided that he had nc
, right to withdraw as a candidate; that be
did not seek the nomination, and it having
been intrusted to him by so large body oI
men, and having received the Endorsement
of a large portion Of the public, he doubted
if he could, with prOpriety, and with
proper sense of his responsibility to them
retire from the canvass.

SeHutOr Morton
said he saw the evidence here of victory in
November. The enthusiasm here was not
manufactured. 1t was spontaneous. The
Republican party has the great mission OF
taking care of the interests Of this country.
It is not worshipper of men. 1t holds
fast to principles and not men. We only
do honor to the pioneers of republican prin-
ciples only so long as they are true to the
cause. [Cheers.l When

he falls farther than any one else. Some
claim the paternity of our party, and there
fore they have right to xii it, just as GER
tain ancients used to claim the right to kill
their own offspring. Laughter and cries
of Greeley Now, we deny that paternity.
If we were to admit it, we should deny the
murderous conclusions. [Cheers.l He
urged the duty Of the party to improve the
credit and finances of the country, and the
currency. We shall bring it up to the
highest standard by a faithful, judicious ad-
ministratiOn, and the gradual reduction OF

Republican party is to be found in

! Applause. Still our work is still unhn'

they shall be recognized by all parties with

rights of the celored men in this country
so that they shah be conceded by all par
ties, and the colored men shall have tht
full enjoyment Of all their
Civil as well as Political Rights.
