WHAT THE SOUTHERN PAPERS SAY
ABOUT THE TICKET.
Tone or che South Carolina Press.
From the Columbia Phezix.l

1t will be gratifying to the friends of recon.
Citation, reunion and reform throughout ,the
land 10 learn that the grand consultation at
Cincinnati has ended in the nomination of
Horace Greeley for President. To the South
1t will be especially pleasing, for he has been
the sleadfast champion of our oppressed Sec
ton ever since the war; and If there be one
Northern man more than any other who has
endeared himself to our people, 1t is he. Nc.
Greeley has, too, every element of success In
hlW, andis possessed of the high qualities OF
head and heart that beflt a man Tor the lofty
position of chief magistrate of q great people.
He is a man OF earnest convictions
est, consistent and unvarying in acting
up to them. He is,a too, the father
Of freedom to the coloret race. For years
and years before Grant was ever heard
Of, he did battle In their behalf, and, mex to
Mr.. Sumner, there Is no one probably that
could succeed so we'll as he In dividing the
black vote with Grant. The platform appears
to embrace every principle that any true Con-
sentative patriot, whatever hls past party
affiliations may have been, can demand. We
believe the Democratic party will sustain the
nomination and the platform almost unani-
mousfy.
The Liberal Republicans have, by the pop
ular support which they have shown they have

To the South, in our judgment, the Liberal

From the Columbia South Caro!it ian
Whatever be he chances of success for the
Cincinnati. nominees-whelher the nomina-
lions made be wise or Dot-of this at least we
are fully satisfied, that 1t deserves the respect
and sympathy OF the outraged South. Certain
1t is that with Mr.. Greedy as President, the
corrupt officials who have brought such dis.
asters upon the South would receive no com
fort from Washington. No journal In The
country has denounced the State plunderers
more pointedIy than the Tribune.
tsrom the Charleston Cour:er.l
The convention has shown itself By Its nom
nations to be a living, earnest power. There
will, us In all cases, be wide differences of opin-
Ion as TO its selections. There can be none,
that both Messrs. Greeley and Brown stand

wing Of the patty, Of which General Grant is
the head, and TO thai policy by which the con-
s%titation has been wantonly violated and the
States of the South converted into subject
provinces.
From the Georgetown Tiues.l
So far as the South Ia conc rned no man
could possibly be nominated who would not
be preferable to the vulgar man who now &C.
cupies the White House. As there seems to
be no chance for The election of q Democrat,
the next best thing for The Democrats 10 do Is
to support the candidate OF Liberal Rrpubli-
cans, even if that candidate be Horace Gree
ley.
From the Columbia U~nion-Grant orgau.I
The great mass-meeting at Cincinnati has
doubtless surprised nearly every body. Horace
Greeley has been nominated for President.
and Graiz Brown for Vice President. Pro.
lection and Free Trade join hands, and every
thing ls lovely.
In our opinion. General Grant has less to
fear from The opposition Of Mr.. Greeley as q
candidate for President. than from Dir. Greeley
as editor Of the Tribune. One Co!umbiad ia
spiked by this nomination. and the possibility
Of the Democrats endorsing the Cincinnati
nominee is thrown entirely out Cf the qnes-
ton. Lit the Republican column push
straight on, and allh. ugh there Is no ground
for questioning Mr.. Greel1y'S R1publicanism,
there may BE- many difficult questions pro-
pounded 10 his friends, as to the need oil
making this split In the party to crafty the
ambition Of any man.
