ECHOES OF THE CANHAsS.t
How the Great Movement Goes.
From the Chicago Tripune.1

From the Chicago Trioune.l
The campaign Is fast drifting beyond the
control of the party managers on all sides. 1t
wldens and deepens, like creVasse in the
Mississippi. Yesterday ten men might have
stopped II; now ten thousand could not. It
will overwhelm the conventions that meet to
oppose 1t. And it will bear onward Into the
Presidential chair the |argest-hearted. klndest-
souled, and most Democratic oil American
statesmen, Horace Greeley.
Great Democratic Authority Gives
Advice to Democrats.
From the Missouri Republican,
It Is next to certain that no Democrat will
be presented for the Presidency In this con-
test. We cannot think of one eminent Demo-
crat who would ask for, or even accepta nomi-
nation at Baltimore. The act would make
him responsible Tor the Inevitable reelection OF
Grant and the continued ascendancy OF Radi-
calism; and the most popular ald trusted man
In The party may well quail before the Stern
reckoning that would follow such an event.
The Cincinnati ticket offers to US all the con-
ditlons that any possible subdivision of the con-
test can BIZ made to yield, and, Indeed, all that
we can reasonably ask for. 1t Offers to u the
certainty of Liberal President and Demo-
cratic House, while third ticket offers us
nothing more Than continuation OF the evils
which we are now enduring.
voice OF Inc Democratic Ffes5s
The st. Lonls Republican OF the 9Th Instant,
after careful examination OF The Democratic
newspapers on its exchange liSt, In order TO as.
certain the manner iu which they Viewed The
nominations of the Cincinnati Convention, ar
rived ct tie following result: OF Democratic
papers which favor astraigll-out nomination
by The Democratic Convention there were
eleven; of those which spoke we'll OF the
ticket, but await the action Of the Democratic
rx~~ tt4,1 nlS,no
positively, there were twenty-five; and OF
those which uDhesitatingIy commend the
ticket to the support OF lhs Democratic party
there we're sixty-four. The names Of oil these
papers were given, and include the most In
fluential Democratic Journals In oil parts Of
the country. Since this list was published
several OF the eleven mentioned In The first
class, as 10 favor OF Democratic nomination,
have greatly modified their Views, while some
of those In the second class have become en-
Lhuslastic workers for Greeley. qhe Repuo-
lican Itself is the most influential and widely
circulated Democratic PAPER In The Southwest,
and Is an ardent and effective supporter OF the
Cincinnati ticket.
Obsolete Reasoning.
From the New York SUM-
The strongest arguments yet presented
against the support Of Horace Greeley by the
democracy are-Lhat twenty years ago he
wrote against shat party, aud wrote strongly.
More recent facts Of the same sort might have
been adduced. For instance, 1t ls not yet
len years since Greeley wr0le very strongly
against slavery; and yet the vast majority OF
the people who were then arrayed on The side
OF thnt Institution are now the earnest adVo-
Gates OF Horace Greeley's election as Presl-
dent. The real questions are whether there Is
any vital principle set forth In the Cincinnati
platform with which the Democrats VINO WILL
vote next November are not IN accord, and
whether Horace Greeley's acceptance OF that
platform Is sncers and earnest. Itmay do for
FOSSILS TO 60 back quarter OF q century 10 as
certain whether set of principles and can
dldate are worthy OF support; but the living
men OF this day are mol of that sorl.

From the Richmond Dispatch
Everybody has lelt anxious to know what
Mr.. Greeley viii do IN the event Of the nom
inaiion OF q Democratic ticket. Dir. Greeley
very wisely aud properly replies TO The qnps-
tIosing on this subject that he WIZ not remain
In The ield after success is rendered hopeless
By the Idle nomination oil Democratic ticket.
How conld he, with proper selt.pride, do so?
How could he, with proper regard for hhe
welfare of the country? He would not ana
could not be guilty of an act so snlcidal as 10
continue in the field with Inevitable deleat to
himself and the bert interests of the country
staring him In the face. Like Sterne when he
met the ass In the narrow alley, he will IN
doubleday give way and leave the whole pas
sage TO his Incorporating antagonist.
The South In the Canvass.
From the Richmond Whig.l
There Is certainly no reason why the people
of the South should allow themselves to be
drawn away from the Liberal movement by
few men who have constituted themselves the
leaders of The Northern Democracy. We have
interests at stake far exceeding In magnitude
any they may have. We are concerned abont
never grOanhd under. They are concerned
about tho offices and honors. All their inter.
esls are personal and party interestsi ours rise
above oil such petty considerations. We
must get relief. a magnanlmous party see
lny that 1t can of itself, and>by itself, accom-
plish nothing, ought to step forward and
tender Its sympathy and assistance to
the Liberal movement; and ,magnanlmons
Democratic leaders ought to be foremost In
the good work. They should remember that
they have a country 10 save, as we'll as party
to serve. Let them, if Lhey 30 desire. preserve
their organization, looking to the future to
reward them. BIT TO our mind, the only
way In which the Northern Democratic party
can have future, Is by helping On the Libe-
raj movement II they defeat that move
ment by running separate ticket, they III
40 arouse pubic indignation that they will
never dare to appear on the arena hereafter.
They will sink 10 rise no more under the
weight OF odium that will be visited upon
them.
