will reach its readers beyond tho city before they
are called upon to vote. The election Of Presi-
dent, Governor, Legislature, and local officers
takes place tomorrow. We print elsewhere the
Cincinnati platform, Of which the New York
Times, in recent Issue, is moved to say that,
with the exception of one two unfoundcd
filings or insnuations against the present Admin
istration. there is nottin9 in the Cincinnati plat
form to ,rhich any Republican aciu not heartily
assent" We recommend the address of the Gin
cinnati Convention once more to the attention Of
the public as clear, precise, and unassailnble
statement Of the reasons why the present ADJ
ninistration should not again be entrusted with
power.
And now word concerning our candidates.
The personal integrity of Horace Greeley has
il conceded his long and laborious life 1s un-
stained by any act that was not intended for the
honor and prosperity Of his country and for the
elevation Of the human race. He has has never
knowingly yielded, under any circumstances, to
any policy which would enable one man to be
the oppressor of another. 4 1aborer from
boyhood. he has been the unhinching champion
Of those who earn their bread by toll. In ali the
political strifes that have taken place, under all
the exctcments Of parties, he has never forgot
ten that human happiness was tie aim of all
just government, and has never faltered in his
labors to benefit his fel1ow-men. Horace Gree
Icy as patriot supported the war for the preE-
ervation Of the Union. Like Mr.. Lincoln,
peace. amnesty, and reconciliation. Like Mr.
Lincoln, he knew that, after the war, the South
ern States could not be held as conquered prov
| inces, and that the restoration of the Union
| upon the basis of common brotherhood was
| essential to the re-establishment Of genuine
peace. The American people have won the adj
miration OF the world because they have not,
since the cessation of hostilities taken single
human life for rebellion. No executions By hal
| ter or glnehot; no attainder Of treason; no
confscation of property no desecration--of the
| memories OF the dead. The world looks on with
admiration at the spectacle of free and con-
qucring people forgetting the rebellion, and re-
uniting the whole country under common flag
with common destiny. For that policy Horace
Greeley has brayely struggled, through evil and
through good report. That there may be union
there must be peace For the Same reason that
| tho black race must be politically free in order
| white race must also be free. Tint for the
same redson we have not hanged rebels, We
must bring them and their descendants to us us
freemen and countrymen. That for the same
reason we have restored the rebel States to
political equality, we must restore the indi-
viduals Of these States to political equality.
I He has from first to last contended that unirer-
t sal suffrage and universal amnesty should 60
hand in hand, that the citizens Of the great Re-
public might truthfu1ly say that there was not q
slave or a pariah, black or white. in all the
| land. ~
The same personal honesty and fidelity which
he has shown in his own relations with other
men he las demanded shall be enforced by
all public officers in their relations with the
| people they serve. For this reason, Horace
Greeley has been all his life opposed and hated
by those officcholdcrs who seek their per-
sonal aggrandizement at the public
expense. From Maine to Texas, there
is not trader in politics, nor a
corruptionist in Office, who does not hold Horace
Greeley in horror. Against all abuses of Off
cial power, all uaurpations I'LL corruptions, all
fraudulent contracts, subsidies and grants, he
his ever opposed his influence, his voice, and
his pen, and of course has won the hatred Of
all persons whose interests he has thus opposed.
Horace Greeley is the same able, honest, aud
capable man thet he was before the Pcnnsylva.
