gard; q public man. whose commanding
ability the nation has long recognized;
and a leader whose name the people vel
come as the watchword Of victory. This
is the picture drawn Of Horace Greeley in
New York, and no less hattering one is
drawn Of B. GTatz Brown. He is de-
seTibed as achivalric statesman, the whole
Of whose public life proves him fit asso-
ciate for Horace Greeley in the task Of
extending to the whole Union the work SO
well done in his own State-Missouri-
giving back power to the people, peace to
to the nation, and purity 70 the govern
ment. This is the manner in which the
people Of New York, raIlying under the
banner Of Liberal Republicanism, indorse
its standard-bearers, Greeley and Brown.
And they are no less emphatic in their
general approval of the Cincinnati plat
form; and hail with JOY the enthusiastic
support that both the platform and ticket
are receiving throughout the South. They
regard this disposition Of the Southern
people as promising to lift our politics
out Of the dangerous ruts Of sectionalism
wherein they say it has too long run, and
TO bury out Of sight the hates and contro-
VERSES Of the war. The Liberal Repub-
licans Of New York welcome the co-opera-
ton Of all parties in the work of reunion
and reform, to which the Cincinnati ticket
is dedicated, and to which they pledge, by
an overwhelming majority, the vote Of the
city of New York and the empire State.
And this cheerful account Of the prospect
of the Liberal Republican cause, which is
euaphatically the cause Of the people Of all
classes devoted to the principles Of self
government, is not confined to the
State Of New York. The same iattering
account reaches US from all sections of
our common country. Gradually the
people are becoming convinced Of the
necessity Of reform in the administration
Of government, and are joining the great
Reform party inaugurated at Cincinnati.
It is now as near an established fact as
can be ascertained before the meeting and
action Of the Baltimore convention, that
the votes of the Democratic party are to
be cast for Greeley and Brown. This is
the general feeling.
Speaking of the Democratic feeling in
Texas, General Webb, the editor of the
Houston Telegraph, says:
We have watched the development Of
Democratic sentiment all over Texas, and
evidence satisfies lis that Dem
ocrats 'tout-side Of town eircles" are, II pos
sibIe, more determined to support Greeley
than those in the towns. The conviction
has fastened itself upon large majority OF
the Democracy OF Texas that IL Is 1eces-
sary to vote for Mr.. Greeley TO defeat
Grant, and while they have no love for the
former. they believe him to be an honest
man, who will make a better ruler than
Grant, and give peace, harmony and pros
peritv to the country. They look for tur-
mol, trouble and tyranny II General
Grants rule should be continued another
four years. They believe that the Dem
ocrats, under existing circumstances, can
not elect their candidate, if they should
one, and that it would only be
away their votes TO try to do 1t.
We have reason to believe the Democ-
racy in all the Southern States viii finally |
do as General Webb says the Democracy |
Of Texas will do. It is but natural for
Democrats to oppose Radical Republican
ism, and we believe they will become the |
allies Of the Liberal Republicans in their
fight against Grantism and Radicalism.
