We hailed the name Of Horace Greeley
at Cincinnati as the ore nomination above
all others most likely to secure real split
in the Republican ranks. Without such a
split, the Democratic minority seemed pow
erless for the present campaign. The other
most prominent competitor for that NOM
ination, Mr.. Adams, had been thrown out
of politics for years by his foreign mission;
he had and has no following in his own
party. But Greeley has been in the thick
of every fight, his white hat the glittering
plume to draw all eyes upon the political
knight. His name is a household word
with every Republican in the land; and
the eminent success Of the Tribune,
in spite of its many wild vsgaries
on al subjects, proves that be COM
maDds large and substantial following
of intelligent, reading men. No man in the
country could be named more certain to
draw, or to draw off more largely, from the
rank and file of Grantism. Recognizing
these advantages Of his candidacy, the De-
mocracy of Tennessee threw themselves
into the crisis, and endorsed the nomina-
ton in no mincing words. While the North
was dumb and the South in expectant wait
ing, the Tennessee convention spoke out
clear and loud, electrifying the party from
State to State. Its not egotism to say that
our action has shaped the coming cam
paign, and made Mr.. Greeley's continued
candidacy certainty. Coming as it did,
on the heels Of the Cincinnati gather
ing, our convention Of May 9 Certainly
exerted a more direct and potent
influence on the Democracy Of the
country at large, than even the New York
convention of two weeks later. Tits the
Tennessee Democracy that has made rati-
6cation at Baltimore probability border
ing on the verge of absolute certainty.
How many VOORHEES, have been cowed by
that outspoken voice awakening echoes far
and near, can best be imagined. We can
now look back few months and smile over
the simplicity Of those who deprecated the
early date set for our State Convention,
and who ridiculed the idea that the swell.
fare of the nation" demanded it or could
be promoted by it. The result has amply
indicated the course pursued. 1t has
proved that our party leaders fully under
stood the possibilities Of the situation and
were preparing to seize its opportunities
The Democracy of Tennessee deserve vel
at the hands of all true friends of Greeley
and Brown, for we have done more tc
make their election sure than any othe'
like constituency North or South, and We
did it in the very nick of time, when good
men everywhere were bewildered and UNI
determined.

GOV. SEYMOUR ON THE POLITICAL
SITUATION.

With reference to the views Of Gov. Sey-
mour on the political situation, the Utica
N.Y.) Observer, published at his resi-
dence, says in its issue of May %:
"Gov. Seymour is absent from home, and
we are not able 10 verify the statement that
ne has written a letter TO Hon. Samuel S.
Cox on the political situation, wherein he
takes ground favorable to Greeley's endorse
ment BY the Baltimore Convention. But
the substance OF the reported letter as tel
sgraphed to the Chicago Tribune, embraces
substantially the same views which the
Governor has expressed in private CONVEX
sation. He is represented as saying:
'Mr. Greeley's election will be a pre-
sentative step toward local neighbor
hood government, and will stop the course
of overbearing Federalism. We can have
Democratic principles in some measure by
acceding to the great revolution in his
favor which is sweeping over the country.
In this State it is irresistible. / have not
beeu on personal terms with Mr. Greeley
for some time, but there is wisdom and
beartiness in the popular movement to sup
mort him. I recognize in the sympathy
between himself and the voting masses, an
element stronger than talent or fitness.
He has the talent and ntness 70 SUIT the
temper of the times The opinions mere
by attributed to Gov. Seymour are nearby
endorsed by the great body OF democrats
throughout the country. Inc lndlcaslonS
are hopeful that a Union of all the loeral
elements in the country viii be formed 10
compass the overthrow Of Grantism and to
stay the progress Of corruption"

ONE of our exchanges very pertinently
says: administration organs are chron-
telling with exultation the prOffer of service
which many old Confederate officers are
making to Grant. If they meant to give
him their political support as citizens, we
should certainly be the last to object. We
desire to see every man at the South in the
full exercise of every right and privilege of
an American citizen. But these officers are
still excepted from the general amnesty /;
and at the very moment that Grant has got
his military bill through the Senate, it is
ominous of peril to civil liberty, to see mil
itary adventurers rallying to his support
There are at the North as well as at the
South a large number Of persons who
would much prefer an Imperial military
government like the one that lately crum-
bled under its own rottenness in France.
Of all these conspiators, Grant is now the
favorite."

THE Democrats Of the tenth district in
Massachusetts,, at their convention on the
24th of May to appoint delegates to the Bal
tlmore Convention, declared themselves en-
phasically for Greeley and Brown, in their
convention at Chester, and appointed dele
gates to the Baltimore Convention. This
was the first gathering Of the kind in the
State since the Cincinnati nominations.
The. Convention was composed of leading
Democrats from both Hampden and Berk-
shire counties. Delegates favorable to an
endorsement Of the Cincinnati nominees
were appointed.

THE New York Express Of May % says:
"The tide of immigration is setting towards
the United States from Germany, Ireland
and elsewhere, as never before. Most of
the new corners bring health, wealth and
labor, and if the money is little Git averages
$50 each), the labor value is immens-, and
has been estimated, for each immigrant, at
least 81, 500 for the males, and $3.50 for the
females, or an average of S1,125 for each.
About per cent. of those who come are
vicious, leaving % per cent. of better
class. Deducting 10 per cent. for young
people, and then valuing the labor of those
left at its intrinsic value for each year, every
10000 immigrants are worth to the coun-
try at least 100000 in the work they
perform"
