the Euqui,vr is published in this issue
The Convention adopted the Cincinnati
Platform. and re.nomnated Greeley and
Brown. which ticket will be found at our
masthead, aud to which we shall give our
most hearty support.
Greeley and Brown have now been fair
placed before the American people FOR
President aud Vice. President Of the Uni
ted States. The Democratic National
Convention has nominated them 10 accor
dance with the me.honored usages Of the
oaity. 1t is no Endorsement or ratification
IF the Cincinnati ticket, but a positive
nomination. There are some 10 the Dem.
,cratic party who we're bitterly opposed to
the whole procedure, preferring and IN
sisted upon a straight Democratic ticket
These men, however, are nobly falling in
to line, and will loyalty abide the decision
Of the Convention. They find Greeley
and Brown in the great Democratic Book,
and will not stop to inquire how be go'
there, and like the good old Minister, will
sing.

The bare mention of Mr.. Greelcy's name
drove the GRANTEES to the most desperate
attempts to pass bayonct laws that Grant
might through such power, control his
own election. Failing in this, the organs

ard bearers, VIC do not entertain doubt
as to the complete overthrow Of the Grant
dynasty. The foul and sinking corruption
Of the party now 10 power is the rotten
ness under which it is crumbliug to pieces.
The Radicals must fall, not by the hand Of
one man. but by the general revulsion Of
feeling in all honest men against an ad-
mnistra,ion so terribly corrupt, so dishcn'
est, so completely at the mercy Of thieves
so tyranuical so oppressive, so uu.republi-

will cordially join hands.
Democrats throughout the county and

the regular decision Of political question

ciples of the Democratic party, have no
right Of power ,c reverse,
