way TO get it.

nous nomination of the regular, well
qualified representatives Of the Dem

8. Because he is more Intelligent,
and quite as honest ~ Grant. On the
score Of honesty, the Radicals cannot
judy claim any superiority for their
candidate.
4. Because he has some l,eaM, and
feels tor the sufferings OF his fellow
mon; whereas Grant is q selfish, cold
blooded man, without such heart.
5. Because Greeley has pledged
himself to course of action III iIar-
mouy with the principles Of the Dem
ocratic party, aud in no other way
than by his election can the people
now hope TO see them once more in
the ascendant.
e. Because Grant, and the party
who handle him-or whom he handles
it makes little difference which,
have shown, Enthusiastically, that they
do not intend to allow our Southern
brethren TO be free men, or the South
ern States to have any real sovereign.
ty, or any rights such as States should
possess.
I. Because Grant and his men.
forming the Grant Government, have
exhibited before the whole world the
meanest spirit ever shown by a great
Government. They cannot disgrace
the American people, but they have
disgraced themselves, and lowered
our peoples government IN the esti
nation Of far men among all nations.
3. Because Grant, and his tools, a.
/ inscriptions as himself, have sent
hordes OF Radical thieves into the
; homes Of our Southern brothers and
robbed them OF their pitlaDce left bg
| the war, and involved them III vast
debts, in the most bare faced aud out
rageous manner.
| .. Because Grant and his men have
no respect for the people, North OF
South; caring only for what hey can
make off them; whereas Greeley il
himself one OF the working men, and
alive to their feelings and both kind
and consIderale.
10. Because the best men among
the radical leaders, who know Grant,
have pronounced him unfit TO be the
ruler of Il free people.
Ii Because he makes self and his
own persona! greed and qualification
primary, and the affairs OF the Gov
ernmcnt mere p'aythiug, and entire
Iy secondary.
Il. Because he appoints men to
public offices who are uni, and dis
honest, knowing them to be so; aud
retains them, to the serious injury o.
the people pockets.
Is. Because Grants policies" have
been simply ridiculous. He came IN
to the Office with the public decIara.
tion tha; he had mo policy" whereas
his whole career from beginning to
end has been but succession oil
Grant politics.
II. Because his San Domingo poll
cy is not dead, but sleeping; and IN
case of his reelection it will be put
through by his tools as surely as the
sun shines, and it is notorious that il
is a wicked scheme-uothing more
than corrupt and most dangerous
Grant job.
1J. Because Greeley, nominated as
he has been, and supported as he viii
be, by the we'll disposed men OF the
United States, will naturally rally
around him the best men, and secure
/ 1 :.
ernment.
i6. Because we can stand an honest
administration.
II. Because although Greeley as an
editor, has. through a long political
life, opposed many of the princir les
of the Democratic party, our nomi-
mating Convention has satisfied itself
that he is now ready to harmonize
with them upon great measures, Vita
TO our couptry's prosperity, and the
existence Of free Government.
Is. Because we have ever since the
war condemned the policy inaugura
ted by the dominant Radical party as
inimical TO the true interests of the
Southern States, whilst Grant not or
ly supports 1t but aggravates it by his
military tyranny over them. a}8
/ 10. Because Greeley condemns this
tyrannical and wicked course, and
stands ready to discard it from our
Government as dark modern civil.
zation.
20. Because there is nothing what
ever, no policy and no act of our Gov
ernment more important, more fraughl
with high consequences in the imme.
diate and distant future than the real
fra1ernization of the North and the
South.
| u. Because such fraternization un-
der the rule Of Grant and his men is
an impossibility; while under the ac
ton of Democratic principles it will
be a certainty, speedily realized. ~
%. Because Greeley is willing te
learn, while Grant is notoriously, a.
well as childishly stubborn ana mul
ish.
! %. Because. if these or any of these
reasons are to be regarded as prais,
of our old political enemy, we can at
ford to let it so stand, when brough
to the square choice between Greele,
| and Grant Look on this picture
and on this" a5 ,ss4
