A Little FaStidiOuS.

There is some discussion rs to what tile
Baltimore Convention shall 90 with TIC Iiii-I
cinnati ticket Shall it indorse the ticket or
not? Some think it would be best for the
Convention to act openly and frankly, and,
seeking not to veil its real wishes, to indorse
positively and heartily the Cincinnati nomi-
noes. Others contend that that course would
only furnish capital to the GRANT party.
which would ut once fix upon the Liberal
movement the name Democratic" TO its
serious injury.
We do not suppose either course Will
change a hundred votes. We incline TO
straightforward action rs the best. The veil
of simple acquicscence in tho Cincinnati
action by not indorsing its nominees would
be so very thin that it would afford no pro-
lection whatever, while the fact that that
screen was employed might naturally sug-
gest that the Convention thought there
would he something ccnsurablc or criminal,
or at least damaging, in co'ilition with
Liberal Republicans. The suggestion would
be more damaging than the coalition itself.
AS there is nothing at all improper, no
thing in it unnatural or impolitic, but, on
the contrary, as the combination is orc the
propriety and the wisdom of which have
been, as it were, simultaneously ucknow-
lodged over the whole country, what earthly
advantage can come of tinidity and disguise
in eflecting il? The act will he just, wise,
and patriotic. and the Democrats, Conscrvi,-
tivcs, and Liberal Republicans should not
doubt moment, but throw their allied ilay
to the breeze, and, with the shouts of brave
men in an honest cause, rush into tho fight.
At first we doubted Il little about this but
the doubts were soon diSpcllcd, and we are in
favor of q downright ind frank alliance pub
licly proclaimed. No matter what is done,
the GRANT Republicans will charge that the
whole movement is Democratic. That's the
cue. But that will "hurt nobody" The
world knows that the Liberal Republicans
made the Cincinnati platform and nominal
tons; and the world will know that the
Democrats are only acting as allies, approving
the deed ut Cincinnati, not because it was Of
Democratic origin, which it is not, but because
the platform and the letters of acceptance by
the nominees take the true ground of Rcpul-
iicanism-the restoration the local authority
OF the Statcs-the limitation of the powers of
the General Government according to the
Constitution-the supremacy Of the civil over
theamiitary pOwcr-tle equality of States and
the freedom and security of the citizen.
One party lays down these principles and
names It's men to carry them out, and
the other approves and indorses them.
There is nothing in the combination to
provoke hostility or to suggest intrigue. The
whole thing is the work of the people of all
parties to save the country. There is not Il
Liberal Republican in the land who will be
driven from the Liberal ticket because it is al-
proved by Democrats. Indeed, their only hope
of success is in the support of the Democrats.
We never knew Il man who objected to aI-
probation of what he espouscd from any
quarter. And we never knew party or
body of men who rejected votes that We're
offered for the cause they sustained. Oh, no;
they are too glad to got appreciation and
votes. GRANTS cue of calling the movement
Democratic will be unavailing. IL will have
no effect. If the movement is of the people,
as we believe it is, there can be no stop put
TO it. The popular turore, like a tornado,
will sweep away the war party, and the rcvo-
iutionary party, without bayonet and with
out blood, will peacefully take the places that
have been detiled, restore honesty Of admin
istration, and peace and contentment to the
land
