4 Southern delegate being asked Yesterday
why Mr.. Greeley was so popular in the
South, said he was recognized there as the
friend of both blacks and whites; that his
elevation to the Presidency would mean good
will between the races and peace in the neigh
borhoods. The view entertained in the
South generally Is that the election Of Gree
ley would mean peace in that section; and
the Southern people are not awaiting the
motions of the Democratic party Cinctn-
natl Commercial.
In Tennessee the Memphis Avalanche
and appeal Democrat) both unhesitatingly
approve the nominations and will support
the ticket. The Nashville Banner says the
Cincinnati ticket cannot fail to command the
respect Of the American people, and that it,
frotii its truly national character, to say
nothing Of Its truly national platform, which
was and is its superstructure, ought to pos
sess Irresistible strength and satisfy the Lib
eral sentiment Of the whole country.
We say Grant and Greeley, for we cannot
bc brought to belief that the strong, clear
light cast by The events of the past week has
left any Democrat in doubt as to his duty to
himself, to his country. Grant represents
the mailed hand of the war which, though
the clangor of arms ceased seven years ago,
still holds the South as in vice. More than
six years since Mr.. Greedy raised the banner

The indications that Greeley will be a
strong candidate in the South are too album
dant to be mistaken. The Democracy in that
quarter are committing themselves unequivo-
cally to Greeley, Convention OF no Conven-
ton, and by the time Mr.. Belmont gets bis
committee together, and 4 National Conven-
ton assemblies, two-thirds of the Democratic
States will lie overheard. and the rest must
follow Cincinnati Commercial.
The Columbia Is. Co. Phenir says: 1t
will be gratifying to the friends of recon-
ciliation, rciinion, and reform, throughout
the land to learn that the grand consultation
ut Cincinnati has ended in the nomination Of
Horace Greeley for President.
The Galveston (TcXas) Ne,os says: "We
think the probability is that the Democratic
Convention will endorse the Cincinnati call
didates, Mr. Greeley is remembered with
gratitude in Texas. We believe he is the
most obnoxious man to the Radicals that
could have been nominated
Praise of Horace Greeley by the rebel
southern press is something we never eX-
pectcd to see. Almost unanimously they az
ccpt him.-Forneys Press.
The whole Louisiana delegation, one hun
dred and twenty strong, provided themselves
with white hats yesterday before starting for
New Orleans Cincinnati Commercial.
