ENIINENTLY TIE WORK CT TIE PEOPLE.
From the Nasl, lille Union and American.
The announcement Of yesterdays
work h,t Baltimore will kindlc an
enthusiasm throughout tho country
the like of which hos not been seen
in our political contests for moro
than quarter Of a century. Tho
people will now take up these can
didates and eject them, as earnestly
us they secured their nomination at
Baltimore. They took it up in OPP
position to the protest Of many lead
ing politicians, and to-day it goes
before county with such an indorse-
ment Us no Presidential ticket ever
received. 1t is cmincntly the work
Of the people.
THE DEMOCRACY IDENTIFIED WITH TIE
CAUSE OF TIE PEOPLE.
from the Chattanooga Times
BY this action, tho party that has
heretofore, with much show OF rca-
son, been known as the rcactionary
party, has thrown aside the weights
and clogs that have incumbercd it,
and has fairly and squarcly idcnti-
fed itself with the cause Of the peo-
pie. The restoration of friendly re-
lations between the States harmo-
ny, peace, equality before the law for
black man and white, and it's watch
words henccfcrth. The supporters
of Greeley and Brown and heart
and soul for the Constitution as it is,
administered in the spirit Of liberal
ity and kindness.
REFORM, REUNION, AND RECONCILIATION.
From the Columbia South Catplininu.
In view of the great popular SEN
timent which has been developed in
tho country, it will not be denied
that the Baltimore Convention has
faithfully carried out the views Of
the people whom it represents. Be-
fore it assembled, the Democratic
decree had gone forth ; and when it
met it promptly registered that de-
cree and formally sanctioned it. It
has lifted itself above the piano OF
mere partyism and exhibited a lofty
patriotism. May its action be crown
ed with success, and thus triumph
bc secured to the cause Of reform,
reunion, and reconciliation.
| AN HONEST ADMINISTRATION.
| From the Lexington Wa. Gazette.
| Horace is now our candidate for
the Presidency. He is the chosen
candidate of q Convention in which
the South had a voice. Hc is kindly
DISPOSED toward us. He has declar-
ed that, if elected, he will know no
party and no section, and no past
differences OF sectional questions, i'll
the administration Of the Govern
mcnt. From him VIC may at least
expect something like an honest ad-
ministration Of the monetary ali,ies
of the country for whatever he
may be, we cannot charge him with
theft, nor vcnality, nor ayarice.
TIE WAVE or POPULAR SENTIMENT.
From the Augusta (Ga.) Consttutionalist
The overwhelming majority for
the Cincinnati ticket on the first bal
lot, in the Convention, shows the di-
rection of the wave Of popular SEN
timent throughout the Union, and is
an augury of the triumphant sue
cess of the nominees Of the Liberal
Republicans and the Democrats
Now that Greeley and Brown are
before the country as the standard
bearers of the two great parties who
have Joined hands in order to throw
from power the present corrupt Ad-
ministration, we trust that all lovers
of honest government, all who de-
sire to be rid of Grant and his usur-
pations will give their cheerful sup
port to the ticket and do everything
in their power to secure its success
next November.
GREELEY BEFORE GRANT ALWAYS.
From the Lynchburs virginan.
The lines are now clearly drawn,
all the moderate Conservative ele-
ments of the country being enlisted
