1t IL now nearly month since the
nomination Of Horace Greeley. Its e.
f;ct upon the country has not been
what his friends anticipated. Only a
nero fraction Of the Republican, party
has expressed sati.faetion with the tick

Republican journals advocate its cleo

day are based upon principles, or, per-

which constitute complete antithesis,

an ally. This being the case, he can
not be acceptable to those who control
the administration. If the Democrats
had no record if they were mere ad-

they had no platform Of principles. and
had proclaimed no theory Of govern
