The Sun tomorrow SAYS there was never such
an honor paid to the newspaper press as in the
nomination of two editors at Cincinnati. IL be-
lieyes the liberal republicans and southern
democracy Will all support Greeley, aud that

the northern democracy. The north SOUTH east,

one good result. 1t should lead the Dresent
leaders Of the republican party to consider their
responsibilities TO the people; to study the de.
mands of the hour, and to make their proceed
ings at Philadelphia worthy of the present cri-
sis. We confess that, in our opinion, such men
as Gen. Grant and Mr.. Colfax are Infinitely
superior TO Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown
They are honest and sensible men; they will not
plunge the country into any wild disorder or
into any new trouble; they will not harass the
commercial classes by veXatiouS experiments;
in their hands we shall run no risk of finding
ourselves embroiled in endless disputes or EN-
barraSSed by absurd freaks with financial uues-
tons. But it is for the republican party TO de-
eide on the measures it shall attempt to carry
out. We earnestly trust that the Wisest minds
in the party will be applied TO the settlement of
measures which shall be at once lust and liberal
toward all classes and all sections in the Union;
which shall be worthy of the progressive Spirit
and temper of the age, and which shall be cal
cuated to increase the honor and reuown OF the
country, and TO promote theihappiness and pros
perity of its people.
The World editorially expresses profound
surprise at the result in Cincinnati Adams
who proved by far the strongest of all the can
dldates; who had been expected to be strong in
the convention, might have been cordially en-
dorsed by the World, as he would have been
cordially supported by the democratic party,
Greeley can receive no such endorsement,
nor has he any reason to expect such support
Inc convention has chosen TO nominate the
most heated and conspicuous opponent of the
democratic party in the country. Called for
revenue reform, il has selected the most
Jealous OF protectionists This leaves the
democratic party entirely free to await the
Developments of the immediate future, and
opens the way for possible democratic vic
tory. The World will reserve its. Judgment until
the meeting of the democratic national conyen-
tlon, to be called next week by the national
committee meeting in this city The World
recommends an early date for the assembling of
the democratic convention.

Zens.
The Albany Argus is surprised at the nomina.
ton OF Greeley, but refrains from expressin ing
any opinion, awaiting the action of the national
democratic convention. 1t says that no man of
the republican party has deserved more from it

the people more favorably as regards personal
character, great mental vigor, patriotism and
virtue, which no eccentricities can cloud
Inc news OF the nomination of Greeley was

and deserve the support of all whose aim is
to restore free civil government, and
purify the administration of it. The name of |
Chief Justice Thompson is one which the de- |
