The Washington correspondent of the

Senators Barurd, Stockton, and others.
from States in which the Democrats have
party hopes, are disposed to demand reg,l-
lar nomination Of m out-and-out Democrat.
But it seems that majority of the promi-
nent Democrats in the Senate and House eX.
press the private opinion that the best they
can do is to endorse Greeley and Brown.
There are at present large number Of pronli-
nent southern Democrats and Republicans in
town. They seem 10 agree i'll the belief that
the Greeley ticket, if endorsed by Tie Demo
Gratis, would carry nearly every southern
State, and probably every one.
An Administration member Of the House
OF Representatives is represented as saying:
Il don't think that the greatest element OF
danger lies il the union Of the Liberal re
publican and Democratic parties. There are
two other things which l fear more than

vote for AR. Greeley en- nauSse, and the other
is that it will he 4 laughing and singing

NASHVILLE, May S.-Dclc@atcs to the
| Democratic Convention have arrived in large
| numbers. Enough has been ascertaincd
already to make it reasonably certain that
| the Convention will acquiesce irf the Cincin-
natl nominations. and instruct their delegates
| to the National Convention to oppose the
| nomination of 4 separate electoral ticket. It
| is thought the electoral ticket will not be
appointed, and the appointment will be left
to be governed by future contingencies.

Wendell Phillips o,l the Situation.
BosToS. May 6, 1872.
Dear Powcil,-I wish I could aid in the
discussions of your Reform League at this
important moment. Old parties are break
| iny to pieces. New ones are to form OIL
some of the issues you propose to discuss.
| Whether Grant or Greeley or whoever else
is elected, this is the last time the Republican
and Democratic parties rs such will take
part in presidential canvass. Whichever
party succeeds, both die in the effort. Whe-
lher the Cincinnati Convention fails or
tiirmDhS 1t the bailnt-boX, cne thing it has
done. 1t has scattered forever tic Rcpubli'
can and Democratic parties; killed both.
The presidential canvass of 1876 will turn
on new queslionS---I think on the relations
of capital and labor; the condition of the
working classes; the injustice done them by
law, finance, privileged corporations and
tl7,de-an. injustice which is the root OF
poverty, prostitution, intcnperance, and
crime.
May your discussions ripen public opinion
for this new crusade.
Yours. heartily, WENDELL PHILLIPS.
