The Presidency-Hancock, Gratz Brown

From the Washington Chronicle republican ad.
mmisraiion Jan. 22.l
1t is rumored in this city that the leading demo-
Gratis have agreed upon General Hancock for
President and B. Gratz Brown for Vice
President 1t is also limited that calcula-
tons are made on the probable course Of
Mr.. Greeley. II he should not be candl-
date himself 1t Is conjectured that ne may
bring out candidate with the view OF weakening
the regular republican nominee. We DO
not say That General Hancock would cOuntenance
anything which he believed would imperil the life
OF the nauon. But he would be in the hands of his
party. The Southern wing would dominate the
Northern wing, as It has always done, and II
troubles like those we have referred to should
not Overtake the country It would be because
the party itself would disintegrate and 1all to
pieces, ana taus be p0werless for either gO0d
or evil. Mr. Greeley was not made Post
master General. We have no idea that he Is sOured
toward the republican party on account OF any fan
cied or real slight OF this KIND He Is too much OF
philosopher for that. But II hts democratic friends
whom ne has been advising OF late as to what would
be their best policy in the campaign OF 1872, should
happen to carry the country and attain power, they
would not even make him Postmaster In New York
city.

are understood to be the precursors of other
