The Nominations,
OF Missouri.

more on the 9th instant has never before been
witnessed in this country. There if we nay
make the comparison, the red rose and the
white, lost their significance, and the houses
of York and Lancaster sat side by side. There
party hate and prejudice were forgotten-'n
the deep bosom of the ocean buried" and
why2 For long years the wise and good men
both North and South deplored the bitterness
OF feeling resultant from the war, which had
been engendercd between the sections, and
which were being still more cmbittered by the
tyrannical and unconstitutional enactmen,s Of
party who saw no hope of retaining their i'll
gotten power but by keeping these feuds alive,
and stirring up hate between races and be-
tween sections The South has been clad in
Mourning because of The suffering of some OF
her citizens, under iniquitons laws administer
ed by suppliant tools Of The dominant party
her treasures are drained to crafty the rapa-
cious maws Of Radical Governors and carpet
bag thieves, and constitutional law is nowhere
regarded while the Government is fast drift
ing towards despotsm.
1t was to avert this impending doom-to
save the Constitution made by our fathers, and
restore the Government to its ancient purity
and all, citizens as well as States, to the rights
belonging to each, and to bring about that era
of good feeling which ought to characterize
citizens of a common country, who had long
been estranged from each other, which caused
an union Of former conflicting clements. When

plished. The union was not effected by the
cohesive power of the public plumber such
power as was felt in the Philadelphia Conven-
tion-but 1t was that feeling of Christian char
ity which Heaven will look upon and approve
and all good men everywhere will support. 1t
is ungracious and uupatriotic to oppose a
movement so benign.
There has been no abandonment of principle
by the Democratic party, even though they
went outside of.the organization fora nominee
that nominee stands upon a platform broad
and catholic in spirit and democratic in prin-
ciple-and pledged TO its support and we
might say that we had not put off but that the
Liberal Republicans had doDned the Demo-
cratic uniform. At any rate, it is not now
likely that the two parties having united on a
common platform, will separate hereafter, be-
cause they have the same ends in view, and no
matter which party is successful in the present
campaign, the struggle between the Radicals
and these same opponents will be renewed
The campaign bids fair to be an acrmoni-
GUS one. Mr.. Greeley will be pursued with an
unrelenting hate by the whole Radical press.
Everything published in the New York TIL
bune for a score Of years--garbed and misstated
as it will be--will be presented to the South
crn people-but it must be remembered that
the Tribune has a dozen editors, and that all
that appeared in that paper was not from Mr.
Greeley's PENN fact, no one pen could have
produced all the articles. Mr. Greeley has
written much that the South disapproved, but
as it was hisWonest conviction, that federation
should be granted which all men ask for them
selves when declaring opinions in opposition,
otherwise it would be tyranny over mind--a
tyranny as hateful as il is despoic
Then "once more to the breach marshall
the hosts and prepare the decks for action Let
not The Old Ship, which has long been foun-
defing among quicksands go down in dark
ness and in gloom, without making one long,
and perchance the last effort, to save her from
sinking from sight forever
The MEETING AT CHApPAQuA.---A committee
Of one from each State was appointed by the
Democratic National Convention TO wait upon
Mr.. Greeley and inform him of his nomination
for the Presidency. They repaired TO New
York and performed the duty assigned them,
after which Mr.. Greeley invited the committee
with othersto banquet at Chappa qua. About
$50 persons were present. Mr.. Greeley re-
ceised his guests as they arrived. He shook
hands with every body and had the Indies car
ried away in carriages and invited all who
wanted TO know about farming 10 follow him
Miss Ida Greeley received the lady visitors, in
her graceful way, and made them welcome. -
After a sumptuous dinner speeches were made,
snd Mr.. Greeley told his guests how he acqui-
red the farm, and why--that he had lived
there for twenty years, and hoped to die there
The meeting and speeches were of the most
pleasant character.
