Greeley Endorsed!

The recent democratic State Conven.
ton clearly and emphatically endorsed
the Cincinnati nomination, and as the
delegates are fresh from the people, there
can be no doubt that they represent the
sentiments of the party throughout the
State.
So the once proud democracy have
abandoned their principles and name and
gone over to the Liberal Republicans
They have confessed the sins OF their
past life by very deep repentance But
to test the sincerity of their course, they
should be put on pr05Qtion during their
natural lives,

The Democrpcy on Temperance.

The republican party should have the
credit of bringing the democracy up 10 q
healthy point on the great subject OF tenn
peranee, though it has taken years oil
hard labor to accomplish it. At their
State Convention at Bangor. they prompt

Rswson, to get resolution in condemn
ing sumptuary legislation, especially
relating TO wine and cider. This is the
most hopeful sign of repentance we have
seen in the party, since they have talked
Of adopting Greeley. with all his tSmS.
but we suppose it i. natural sequence of
taking such dose Of radical Temperance

of. This settles the great Cider question.
