The New York Herald of Saturday, con
cludes lengthy editorial as follows:
No man is as well known in the country
as Horace Greeley, unless, perhaps, it is
General Grant. 1t will therefore not be a
canvass under false pretences. 1t will be a
personal canvass, a question of mere men;
for beyond the name of Horace Greeley,
what principle do we see in this platform!
The name of Horace Greeley and the rest
lessness of the country under our foreign
policy, and the desire for change which be-
longs to our easy tempered people. and
nothing mOrei There are conditions of the
public temper when considerations as super
fetal and evanescent as these will control
canvass and name a President. This we
saw when Harrison and Pierce were elected.
Are we to have these conditions now and
with similar resultsl Are our people tired
of Grant! Does the absence of any special
enthusiasm for Grant at this time show that
the people are weary These are questions
that the canvass will develop. In the mean
time we welcome Horace Greeley into the
campaign as a man whom the American
people will always respect and honor.
Whether we shall support or oppose him
must be decided by himself He has re-
ceived this nomination, and if he avoids
certain fallacies that have embarrassed the
usefulness of his career we shall support
him. But in this we shall await the devel-
Opments of the canvass and the attitude in
which the nominees of all the conventions
will stand before the people.

Saws the Cincinnati ENQUIRER !:

We are not surprised at the enthusiasm
with which the nomination of Mr.. Greeley
has been received in the South. The peO-
pie of that section are attached to him by
the strong tie of personal gratitude. When
the life of Jefferson Davis, for his devotion
to their cause, was in imminent danger,
when the cry for his blood was strong all
over the North and West, when such was
the odium of his name that no one hardly
dared to say a word in his behalf or pro
test against his execution, Mr.. Greeley
stepped nObly forward, and, in a practi-
cal manner, did that which eventually
gave Mr. Davis his freedom He did
this from the nOblest convictions of duty.
and risked his personal reputation ana
political standing by it. He did this when
men who called themselves the friends of
the South, who had acted with it in old
political association, and to whom it at that
time looked for assistance. stood aloof.
either from terror or Indifference to Davis
fate. This act of moral courage, and his
advocacy, before any other Republican. of
universal amnesty to che people of the
South brought that section of the Union to
his SUPPORT in the convention, and will do
the same at the polls. Popular with the
old confederate class, he is equally liked
and esteemed by the negroes on account Of
his old abolition exertiOns in their behalf.
Uniting these two elements, he would be in
good position to restore real peace to his
countrymen.
