The semi-weekly Republican. (St. Francisville, La.) 1872-1872, 1872-07-23

ley is to be the sole candidate against
Grant, the thousands Of Rcpubli-
cans who prefer the Republicanism
of Greeley to the personalism Of
Grant, no longer restrained by their
hereditary fear Of the old Democratic
party, will hasten to avow their ad-
herencc to the Liberal cause.
THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT THE oUTe1owr1l
OF POPULAR DESIRE.
From tho Columbia (S. ca Phoenix.
The nomination of MIR. Greeley,
which was at first source Of grave
apprehension to many, has proved
to be most fortunate event. He
has developed immense popularity,
aud seems to grow in favor as the
hours increase. Every step, indeed,
in the Liberal movement from it's
Inauguration to the present time has
been q SUCCESS, which proves at once
that it has been directed by Saga
cious counsel. and that it is the out
growth Of a widespread popular de-
sire. The people are tired of war,
war measures, war politics, and Sec
tional hatred and strife, and are anx-
ious for restoration of friendly and
confidential relations between the
States, and to return to the ways of
peace, and order, and economy, and
civil law. If they are elected, then
We may hope that the dcspondent
and oppressed South, whose candi-
date Greeley especially is, will be re-
stored to her full rights in the Union
and South Carolina be speedily re-
lioycd Of her accursea carpct-bag
misrulc, which the sympathy Of
Grants administration has alone
sustained thus far.
REUNION AT LAST.
From tho Charleston (wcst va.) FREQ Press.
In the nomination of Horace Gree
ley and Gratz Brown the National
Democratic party has immortalized
itself. 1t has evinced lofty patri-
otism-a genuine love of country
which challenges the admiration Of
mankind. It has made q sacrifice
OF narty-feelina for the good Of the
nation unheatd from in political his
tory. The gratitude Of MI parties 81
due this noble body Of men. From
the South, all crushed and tramplod
On as she is, it will rise like the per-
fumc of q bruised flower, for her de-
livcrancc from the military faction
which, forever brandisEing the sword,
wishes to terrify her into a slavish
submission inconsistent with uan-
hood the North-longing to hold
out the hand Of reconciliation to her
smitten sisters Of the Southland,
but ever kept back by the cruel pol
icy Of the present Administration
will thank them for allowing her the
long-dosircd opportunity East and
West will rcsound with the praises
and admiration Of q united people.
THE DAWN OF TIE DAYS OF PEACE.
Fsom the Richmond Dispatch.
The expectation of tho country
has been realized. Horace Greeley
and B. Gratz Brown are the Dcmo-
cratic nominees for President and
Vice-Fresidcnt Of the United States
The work of the Cinncinnati Con-
vention has been finished. They
who worked at Cincinnati " builded
better than they knew" It seems to
be a fresh illustration of the adage
that man proposes but God dis
poses" Is any friend Of decentrali-
zation apprehensiye that Mr.. Gree.
ley will try to dwarf the States :? Is
any Free Trader afraid that he vii
use his influence to perpetuate the
Protective system ? Is any Demo
crat afraid that he will turn his bacl
upon the Democratic party when he
comes into power The answer is
that Greeley is all honest man, and
would not accept votes under false
pretenses. He will live up to the
Cincinnati platform and his own
renderjnr 0f that uniform. He will
