THE APOSTATE NOMINATED
THE REWARD OFTREACH-

The telegraph announces what
the whole nation has been expect
ing. Mr.. Greeley. editor of the
New York Tribune, has been nqmin
ated by the Democratic Convention
at Baltimore for President of tue
United States. Conscious of Ills
utter inability ever to reach a high
Office in the Republican party, he has
sold himself to its enemies, AID III
this way seeks to accomplish his re-
venge and crafty his disappointed
pride and self esteem. Conscious
also, that unless formally nominated
by the Democracy at Baltimore, his
chances for the Presidency would be
equal to zero, he has used diligently
the time intervening between the
convention at Cincinnati and the
convention at Baltimore to accom-
moGate himself to all the demands Of
the very party that plunged the ma
ton into civil war. destroyed the
lives of 100000 men, and saddled
upon our own and succeeding gener-
ations an enormous debt; to the
very party that, since the termina-
ton of the war, has committed in
the South the most barbarous ont
RACES, and whose rower no one
more fiercely than Mr.. Greeley him
self urged the Federal government
to put down by sheer force OF arms.
The public, formal, and regular
nominee of such party, he virtu

only the present administration, bn;
the whole Republican party itself,
and enthrone in the government the
very men who armed their weapons

drawn. Mr.. Greeley now publicly
puts himself under the strongest OIL
legations, if elected, to the Democ-
racy. They can demand and compel
that their policy shall govern the
country, in default of which by Mr.

action is depraved and mercenary is
self. evident. Not to have nomiua-

to- relieve Mr. Greeley. if elected,
from snv special obligations to tue
Democracy. To nominate him is
to bring him directly under bonds
to carry out the behests of men that
elect him, if elected at all. The &C.
ceptance of the nomination by Mr..
Greeley is Mr.. Grecleys confession
of his obligations and bondage,
both, to the Democrats. No other
view OF the subject is possible.
