Mr.. Greeley hiss written the following i'f'e
to = Missourian:

TO Mlstourian:
Nav YORK, ieb. %, ls.2.
DEAR SIR: l am not for Grant if there ls any
help for it, and trust there may DC. Ito, and
| send all you can to Cincinnati conVentiou' o.
come yourself New York will bo largely ISi,''
sented there. Yours. &c, HORACE SRsEihi'
Upon this the Jrorld wants to know VIVA
the Free Trade Republicans, in the Cincinnati
movement, are going to do AtOu; the tariff ahG
it significantly adds:
Ii the liberal Republicans we're stronS enougi
to take the field against Grant alone, they inisn
ignore this great subject. snd nobody "ou'e
have right 10 complain. But II they eAPe0
Democratic support, We forewGrn them INA ma.
they mus; boldly show their colors IN the tafli
question. The Democratic party controls thre'
millions of votes, and while it Is ready 10 dtoi
all dead issues for the FAKE OF co-operanoA,
will participate III no arrangement with s2Iks
or ignore important live questions. II The I'm
cinnsti convention chose to organize thHI
marty. it is their right, and we will not object
| but if they reckon on Democratic aid, they mus
pay ZONE regard to Democratic wishes.
We are not il the hlbi, Ct quoting from
Senator Chandler, but in oac Of his recen
speeches he said something pertinent, az fof

IL the fprlng Of 1865 there VS. q desperate
( fight in New Hampshire, and the republican,
had >, ls8 majority; in the fall Grant sni Col
fax had 6 1857. In 1869 the republican msjor-

Pike, republican candidate for governor. had

scattering, H. Democratic plurality, sls Ma
jority sgaiust tie republicans, la45. The legis-
lature was very clote hut it elected Weston, and
all the democratic oongressmen were elected
! In 1872 the republican majority is 1900 On the
State ticket, gain Of 400 tince last year, snd
this will probably insure majority Of At least
1000 for Grant next fall.
Little help will be got for the potsum policy
from the Southern state when iAe National
Democratic Convention mec's. The Montgomery
(Als) .4irsrtser names thirty democratic ps-
pers in that State that favor straight demo
cratic ticket, and believes the c,mpses points in
that direction outside u Alahsma
