Not for Us.


The following from Pennsylvania
contemporary in regard to the nomi-
nees of the Cincinnati Convention,
will, we doubt not. meet the views of
nine tenths of the Democracy of this
region: sees
This is certainly ticket of which
the Liberal Republicans may well be
proud, aud around which they may
rally with the utmost enthusiasm.
The candidates are able, honest and
Independent, and such as honest Re-
publicans can support without blush
or doubt. But they are not the can
didates for the Democratic party. We
want able, honest, independent men.
but we want them selected from our
own household of faith, and while
any Democrat would doubtless great
ly prefer the election of Greeley, and
Brown to continuation Of the pres
ent rotten Grant dynasty, they will
with united voice, we believe, declare
for ticket, composed of able, pure,
straight forward Democrats. At
least snch is our choice, and will con-
tinue to be, until the National Con-
vention decides against us, which we
have no idea it will ever do.

RidicuIOuS.

The bitter denunciation of Hon. d.
w. Voorhes, of Indiana, by few ar
dent and enthusiastic Greeley journ-
ais, and the assertion that he has Civ
en- in his adhesion to Grant, is not
only ridiculous but is a most mali
cious libel. Mr.. Voorhes is one of
the most able. eloquent and stead
fast champions of Democratic princi-
Piles in Congress and the Union, and
has always enjoyed the esteem and
confidence of the members of his par
ty in his own State and throughout
the country. A few days ago in re-
plying to a newspaper attack, charg-
ing him with hesifating in his sup
port of the Cincinnati nominees, he
took occasion to define distinctly his
position and review the political his
tory and character of the sage of
Chappaqua, charging that during his
entire life he had been the most bitter
and implacable enemy of the Demo-
cratic party, its principles, its policy,
and its men; that at the beginning of
the war he had advocated the right of
secession, and after the South had ta-
ken him at his word, he had gone back
of them and been their bitterest foe !;
and that, since the close of the strug-
gle, he has favored all the despotic and
obnoxious measures which the De-
mocracy have opposed. Every one
knows that these charges and specifi-
cations are true to the letter, and
while this standard bearer stands in
the uncertain position of fearing to
to accept tine nomination rendered
him at Cincinnati, upon the platform
there laid down, and hesitates as to
his support of the Philadelphia nomi-
nees until he sees what the Democrs-
cy shall do in the matter, and until he
gives some substantial evidence that
he is heartily sick of the principles
and practices of the present military
despotism that rules the country, lie
does not commend himself very
strongly to the support of any Demo
crat who desires to perpctuate the ex-
istence of the party and the principles
for which it has so long and heroical-
ly battled. 1t is a bitter pill which
will require pretty thorough sugar
coating to make it in the least palatea-
BILE to Democratic stomachs.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1872-05-23

The Cincinnati Enquirer which is
the champion of Greeleyism in Ohio,
admits that Greeley's sspast political
record is very bad" but claims "he
has started new record that is most
excellent And this in the face of
the fact that the sage of Chappaqua
declares that he has never written a
word against the Democracy which
he would wish blotted ont, and of his
assertion that In case the Democrats
have candidates in the field he will
support that Republican ticket that
is most likely to succeed" Talk about
Greeley's having repentsd, and max
ing an excellent new recordl Bah !
The most that can be said by any
Democrat is that he is preferable to
Grant, and mighty tight squeeze for
that. 4 HIT II Ht)Oi

SOME of our Democratic friends of
the press have such unbounded cont
dence in the wisdom of the poIlti-
clans who are to be elected delegates
TO the Baltimore Convention, that
they do not feel it necessary to give
them word of advice. Therein they
differ from us. We don't think it will
hurt the delegates bit to know who
the people are for and what they in
tend to do.-Ciacinndt Enquirer. i
OF course, the ENQUIRER thinks it
proper to advise or instruct these rep
resentatives of the people just so long
as it is in favor of its candidate, the
sage of Chappaqua, but when any
leading Democrat or Democratic jour-
nal doubts the policy of the party
transferring its 100000 voters to the
support of Greeley,it forthwith falls to
abusing them, charging them with an
effort to defeat the Democracy, and
having sold themselves to Grant and
his Radical partizans. Out upon such
arrant nensense and hypocrisyl

The Radical papers say that with
the tariff eff, coffee should be five
cents and tea fifteen cents per pound
cheaper. That is all very good 80 far
as it goes, but it hardly reaches far
enough to give us a "free breakfast ta-
ble." Would it not somewhat cheap
EN- salt to remove the duty Of from
160 to 800 per cent; sugar to take off
one and three-fourths to four cents
per pound, rice LA per cent, and hea-
Wy duties imposed on numerous other
articles of prime necessity in every
household? But the taxes derived
from tea and coffee all went into the
Golfers of the Government, while
those imposed on salt, rice, sugar, and
numerous other articles are designed
to foster few special interests at the
expense of the people. 1t is the means
employed by the protectionists not
only to enrich themselves by drawing
from the from the substance of the
consumers; but Of deriving the reve-
nues of the government from the me-
cessities and wants and not from the
wealth of the people.

TIE manner in which the South 10
governed at the present time can be
gathered from the following article
which appeared in a Petersburg paper: |:
" A man from Maine has our post
office; Vermont man represents MS

vania is our street commissioner our
commissioner of revenue is Massa-
chusetts man fellow from Philadel-
phia is jailor; the chief of police is

sent us in the Legislature; o Maine

Radicals are in favor of self-govern-
ment, is a disloyal copperhead and
secession sympathizer!
