GreeLeu.s Nomination.

The great philosopher, it would seem,
must be sorely puzzled to extract much
comfort from the reception of his nomina-
ton throughout the country. The very
general expression of surprise it created,
is cot very complimentary, because it i'm
plies a universal feeling in the public
mind of the want of fitness of the NOM

forcs-put il is spontaneous, and is not
very Gathering. The bitter denunciation
OF the nomination. on the part OF those
who really desired an acalIabie man.
is the most sincere OF anything. They
are the truly disappointed men, and like
Warrington, Clerk of the House OF
Representatives OF Massachusetts. they
want new deal
II is said first impressions are pretty
generally correct. They are worth
something to show the true feeling OF the
heart. There is au Qtlcr.HougAt. wheG
the matter Is weighed more carefully
the sober second thought, which often con-
trolls. and it may be so with this nomina-
tion, so far rs the democratic party is
concerned. Ii is q singular fact that
most of the men who couldn't wait for
the mails to write Greeley, but resorted
TO the telegraph to send in their adhesion,
wer@bitter copperheadS of the North and
rebels OF the South; such men Is Ben.
Wood, GarrulouS Davis, and the like, and
this is another thing that cannot be very
hauering to a true patriot. When an
enemy praises, it is time to look about
and see ii we are on the right side.
The JrgtS, which has been berated
considerably by the democratic press for
rushing too hastily into the nomination,
now contends that it is representing the
democratic feeling of the State after all.
Il must be confessed that the tone Of the
old bunker press. such as the Bangor

TUE ClNCINNATI TICKEr.-The Mis-
souri, Democrat says: at is difficult TO
speak OF Mr.. Greeley as II candidate for
the presidency with gravity. Before his
nomination the Chicago Times stated
that one Of the greatest objections to
him was the fact that no two gentlemen
could look each other in the face and
mention his name without laughing
This NAV be a source OF weakness or
strength 10 the ticket. Our people may
be so thoroughly alive 10 iun and mis-
chief as 10 commit the interests OF the
nation to the hands of political harle.
Quin, but we shall be slow to believe IT..
The conceded honesty of Mr.. Greeley
will not compensate for the conspicuous
lack of sagacity and stability of purpose
for which he is notorious. An honest but
misguided and obstinate man makes the
worst sort of an executive. IL is poor
consolation to to be told, when the Ma
ton is involved in commercial ruin, and
its peaceful relations with foreign coun-
tries impaired, that the statesmen who
brought ii about were conscientious men.
The honest man in error is very devil
