THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.

The monstrous bantling of that union
of Democratic intriguers and Republican
soreEcads appears already to become quite
troublesome to both progenitory parties.
The first named. to regain the long lost
power and Offices of Government, were in
all probability the prime movers of The
whole swindle; they persuaded the sore
heads, to break away from their allegian-
ce, with the promise that by the undiyid
ed Democratic support, and being follow
ed by other Republicans, they would be
led to victory and spoils. The poor sore
heads fell into the trap; they were taken
to Cincinnati; and there brought forth the
bantling "Greeley and Brown.
Now look at the result instead of the
promised unbroken phalau1 of the Dem
ocratic party supporting that ticket, their
most Influential papers utterly and jeer-
ingly refuse to sustain it, while the small
er fry of them express only their disgust
and quietly wait until directed what to do
by Democratic National Convention !;
and the soreheads' cry of despair is an
wered by the faithful Republicans only
with loathing and disgust.
Among the Democratic papers who are
now decidedly in favor of a regular Demo-
cratic nomination, we notice the follow
ing
The Lancaster Pa InteUigencer, Hart
ford Times, Cleveland Plaindeoler, Wash
ington Patriot, Boston Post. Albany Ar
gus, Rochester Union. Detroit Free Press,
Baltimore Gazette, Philadelphia Age
Louisville Ledger. Pittsburgh Post and
Chicago Times, while hundreds of other
such papers say, like the New York
World: IF, as seems likely, the De-
mocracy ignores the Cincinnati Conven-
ton and nominates ticket of it's own, we
shall give that new ticket our support, -
aud hope "Mr. Greeley will stand by his
guns, and not retire from the canvass. "
Among the few Democratic ra arers who
haze kept their promise and committed
themselves strongly to the Cincinnati
ticket are the Memphis Aualanche, Gin
cinnati Enquirer, Springfield, (Ills.) Reg.
ister and the St. Louis Republican, also
such politicians as Frank Z. Blair, Geo.
Pendleton aud Thos. II. Hendricks. be-
sides many former rebel men and news
papers, still feeling grateful to Greeley.
because he insisted that the South had
| a right to secede, that it ought to be paid
| tor its slaves and receive universal am-
nasty for its crimneS, and because his
name stands upon the bailbond of the
Arch traitor. jeff Davis.
Nor are the reasonable allies of the
soreheads any better off instead of hav-
ing gained their point, that of splitting
the Republican party in two, they have
pretty we'll bursted their own. Most Of
the leading Democrats, who went to the
Cincinnati Convention, are disguised with
the result and clamor for different tick

his life to subduing Democratic machina.
tions and aggressions is to nauseating a
dose for them to swallow they would
rather vote for Grant if no other choice
was left, than for Greeley in whose sta
bility of principle they can not rely from
ore hour or day to the other.
If they get up Democratic nomina

ty be unit against them; or at all events
there will be more Democrats voting fol
Grant than Republicans supporting {
