The Nominees.

The expectation Of the country mas eeeh
realized. HogAcg GREELEY ana u. dR IRA y :.
BRows are the Democratic nominees ~,
President and yice-PEesidcnt OF the ohites1
States. The work Of thc Cincinnati Ce'avea'
ton has been finished. They who worried az
Cincinnati .b,iilded better than they knew W

that oman. proposes but God disposes. a
number of free-traders met IN that citv 20
nominate a revenue reforrler but they nofn NIL

the country, perhaps in the world. Inc
friends Of decentralization met there 10 hon'a,

States but they nominated one VINO mas !, aa-
yocated almost every Infringement upon
those rights which has haIacterized the con-
duct of the Federal Government many
Democrats met there to nominate q Demo
Graf: but they nominated the ablest, the
oldest, and the most famous enemy OF the
Democratic party. twas amost remarkable
result. Il it too much to say that tho hand
OF Destiny Is to be seen in these facts?
But is any friend Of decentralization APP
prehcnsiye that Mr. GREELEY wiH try TO
dwarf the States? Is any free-trader AFRAID
that he will, use bis influence to perIef'ifate
the protective system? Is any Democrat
afraid that he will turn his back upon the
Democratic party when he, comes into
power? The answer is that GREELEY is an an
honest man, and would NOT accept votes I'M m
der false pretences. He will liye up to the
Cincinnati platform and his owp rendering
of that PLATFORM He will restore good gov
ernmcnt to the country, peace to the people,
and fraternity between the North and the
South. He viii allow the war issues to drop
out Of sight. He will walk in the ways OF
peace. His acts will rebound to the glory
and honor of his country, and to the per-
pctuity of the union Of the States.
When CHARLES ii. returned to England
amidst the most enthusiastic rejoicings of his
subjects, after having been afraid all bis life
to allow himself to be seen in that country,
he inquired of companion, "Wherc arc ali
my euemies?" Mr.. GREELEY may ask asirn'
liar question. Where are all his enemies
They have become his warmest friends. Ii
is upon their shoulders that heis to be borne
into Office. 1t is his alliance with the Demo
cratic party that will make him the chief
ruler OF this great nation. Like HENRY VII,
whose best title to the crown of England
came through bis. wife, GREELEY's best claim
to the presidency comes through the party
with which he has so recently formed IN
alliance. The ally has the equitable title, and
GREELEY has tine strength to make it good
Will GREELEY be elected? So, we believe,
it is written in the book of fate, if we may
use such an expression. All the signs point
to Il success Oh his part such as has not cha
ractcrized the candidacy of any man who
has run for the same Office since 1910. His
mime cXcites enthusiasm whenever and
wherever it is mentioned. He has all the
elements that go to make up popular man.
He is already known to every voter in the
country. He has even the eccentricities and
oddities that endear great men to the passes-
the sorry material which proves that he is
akin to them. We confidently expect that
HORACE GREELEY and b. GIATz Brown will
be the next President and Vice-Presidcnt of
the United States. So mote it he.
