pEMouRAr1c CANDIDATES.

Whatever may be u VIII VI 'nc
great body of the Democratic party,
there can be no reasonable doubt but
that the leaders and managers of that
antiquatcd and compact pfrty III
majority of the States in the Union
are determined to adopt Greeley and
Brown as its candidates in the pres
ent canvass. We believe nearly a ma
'jo;rity Of the delegates to the Baiti-
nssre ,Conventisrss have been SO in
structcd. To suppose from this sr-
ton that Democrats are all about to
become Republicans is the mercst on
sense. They are actnatcd, not by
sterling principle, but by that which
has done SO much injury to all parties
from time immcmorial to this day,
and that is, ''policy." The great
movers of the Democratic machine
reason in this manner: Greeley may
have been a Radical Republicans
much the better; he HAY carry with
ifim q few Republican votes. But We
think We can manage him. His halt
ing letter accepting the nomination
proves to us that he will not be re-
crcant to the party which gives him
the votes, If elected. Tweed, Swec.
ney & Co., the leaders ofthc notorious
Tammany Ring, have managed him
while d Republican, aud they will
continue to exercise their powerful in
fiuence. Browns already a Demo-
crat. and has our fullest confidence
There arc no doubt many Democrats
who, on principle, will fail to see how

more in the ascen ,cncy by? the cleo
ton of Greeley than by that of Grant.
Bit when the day of election comes
rerAd. they wilf doubtless deposit
their ballots as their leaders declare
they shall, distascful as the dose may
be.
Let not our Republican friends be
deceived by appearances. Mr.. Gree

as ii may scein3 BLDG fair to be the
representative :-of Democratic princi-
pies in this campaign, and General
Grant ANDY Henry Wilson represent
thG undying principles of Republicans;
is there any douDt,as.sd elia"issue'hes

The past three, years Of Republican
administration has been peaceful and
successful, and the people know that
the principles which brought the par
ty into being have vitality enough
to keep it alive ard vigorous for the
achievement of new political yicto-
ries, andthc work Of reform in other
