to get 1t. q.
3 Because he received the unsni.
NOUS nomination. of the regular, veil
qualified representatives of the Demo-
cratic party.

and quite as honest as Grant. On the
score of honesty, the Radicals cannot
justly claim any superiority for their
candidate. TOT.
4 Because he has some, heart, and
feels for the sufferings Of his fellow
men; whereas Grant il selfish cold.
FLOODED man without such a heart.
5. Because Greeley has pledged him.
self to a course Of action in harmony
with the principles OF the Democratic
party, and in no other way .thsn'by his
election can the people, nov hope to see
them once more in the ascendant.
g. Because Grant, and the party o.
men who handle him-or whom be
handles-it makes little difference
which, have shown, unm'stakably, that
they do not intend to allow our South
ern brethren to be free men, or the
Southern States to have any real SOW
ereignty, or any rights such as States
should possess. .
7. Because Grant, and his men form.
ing the Grant Government have ex-
hibited before the whole world the
meanest spirit ever shown by great
Government. They cannot disgrace
the American people, but they have
dis ,raced themselves. and lowered our
peoples government in the estimation Of
lair men among all nations.
8. Because Grant, and his tools. 81
INSCRIPTIONS as himself, have sen,
hordes OF Radical thieves into the
homes of our Southern brothers and
robbed them of their pittance left by
the war, and involved them in vast
debts, in the most barefaced and out
rageous manner.
9. Because Grant, aud his men, have
no respect 'or the people. North Oh
South; caring only for what they car
make OF them whereas Greeley is him.
self one OF the working men, and alive
to their feelings and both kind and con
siderate.
10. Because the best men among the
Radical leaders, who kno,o Grant, have
pronounced him unfit to be the ruler o.
free people.
IL. Because he makes self and his
own personal greed and qualification
primary, and the affairs OF the Govern
ment a mere playthiug, and entirely
secondary.
y Because he appoints men 10 pub
lie offices who are unfit, and dishonest
knowing them TO be so; and retains
hem, to the serious injury o: tie peo-
pies pockets.
Is. Brc,use Grants politics" have
been simply ridiculous He came into
the office with the public declaration
that he had mo policy" whereas hi.
whole action, rom beginning 10 enc
has been but a succession oil Grant poll
cies
IA. Because his San Domingo Policy
is not dead, but sleeping; and in case o.
his reelection il will be put through bv
his tools as surely as the sun shines
md it is notorious that it is wicked
scheme-nothing more than corrupt
and mort dangerous Grant JOB.
Is. Because Greeley. nominated a.
he has been, and supported as he vii
he, by the well disposed men OF the
United States, will naturally rally
around him the best men. and secure
an honest administration OF the Govern

Is. Because we have ever since the
war condemned the policy inaugurated
ny the dominant Radical party as in
im;csl to the true interests OF the South

tyranny over them.
l9. Because Greeley condemns this
tyranncal and wicked course, and

Government as a dark modern civilizs
lion.
%. Because there is nothing what.
ever, no policy and, 90 act Of our gov
eminent more important, more fraught
with high consequences in the imme

81. Because such determination under
the rule Of Grant aud his men, is an
impossbility; while under the action
