Especial Correspondence Of the Republican,
NEW YORK, June IS, 1872.
The political situation is as favorable for
the platform and nominees of the Cincin-
natl convention as the most sanguine
friends Of Liberal RepublicaLism could wish
or the most ardent opponent Of the present
administration could desire. make it a
point to visit the national headquarters Of
the Greeley and Brown movement every
day. Colonel Allen, the efficient chairman
Of the national committee, receives by every
mail large numbers Of letters from promi-
nent citizens in different sections Of the
country giving detailed accounts of the pro
gress of the Liberal movement. Hardly a
day passes that does not bring information
in some shape from every State and Terri
tory in the Union. Prominent gentlemen,
representing in the past ali shades of poll
tics - old Wings, old Democrats, Silver
Greys, Douglas men, anti-LeeOmptOnites,
Free Sellers, "border rufians,7 State Rights
men, ex IRENE Radicals, conservatives and
newly enfranchised ex-rebels-are among
the almost daily callers at headquarters
Mr.. Greeley, who is quite active in the cam
paign in imparting to the committee advice
and information relative to men and things,
frequently visits the rooms. He was there
yesterday for two hours, advising with
those who sought his views relative to i'm
portant questions prOpounded by CORE
spondents at distance, relative to meet
ings, speakers and the true policy to be pur-
sued. He conversed, in the comparatively
short time named, with leading men from
Massac husetts, Maine, Vermont, Montana,
Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, and from the principal
cities and townships in this State. Among
those present was a delegation Of Germans
Dr. Gercke, Theodore Mierson, of the NeiC
Yorker Journal, and DR.. Moritz Ellenger,
of the Jescish Times-who informed Mr..
Greeley that the Germans had determined
upon calling national convention of Ger
man Democrats, to assemble in Baltimore
on the seventh of July; that every State
and Territory in the Union would be rep
resented, and that the purpose of the con-
vention would be to advise the National
Democratic Convention, which meets in that
city on the ninth, of the desire of the Ger
man Democrats Of the United States to see
Greeley and Brown placed in nomination
by that body. From information already
receiv ed by DR.. Gercke, he expressed the
opinion to Mr.. Greeley that there would be
over five hundred delegates present; that
the German Democrats are unit in favor
of the nomination by the Democratic CON
vention at Baltimore Of the Cincinnati nom
inees.
In answer to question, the Doctor said
that although they had not acted with their
fellow countryman, Carl Schurz, who had
been Republican, that now he had taken
his new departure in the Liberal move
ment, they were willing to work with him,
and had determined upon their present
course because they sympathized with Mr..
Sehurz, and did not approve of the course
of Ottendorfer, Daenzer and Stale, in their
opposition to Mr.. Greeley. The latter
thanked them for their assurances, and ex-
pressed the opinion that their efforts and
those Of the men who were engaged in the
same good work with them, would be re-
war ded with abundant success. Mr.. Gree
lev views the present movement as pOliti-
cal revolution by the people, and he alludes
wi tn pleasure to the fact that such states
men as ex Senator Hendricks, of Indiana,
Gov ernor Walker of Virginia, Buckalew, of
PENNSYLVANIA, and Chief Justice Church
and Mr.. Tilden, of New York, comprehend
its magnitude and Importance, and are
doing what they can to advance the stand
ard Of national reform.
Mr.. Greeley, am satisfied, viii not be
controlled, should he be elected, by old par
tisans, or by party hines, nor by exclusive
party rings or factions. In the Organiza-
ton of his Cabinet he will rise above party
and seek from among the different elements
that have combined to create the new gov
eminent the best material that can be
found among the numerous statesmen who
have taken advanced positions in this hour
of the eountrys need. Men Of integrity,
experience and capacity viii be called upon
to assist him in administering the govern
ment. They will not be measured by the
service which they have either rendered the
Republican, the Democratic or any other
party as such; nor will they be rejected by
him because of their connection with those
organizations. He will step over old party
lines. putting them behind him, and recog-
nize the people in their best representatives
in manning the new ship of state for the
voyage to begin on the fourth Of March
next.
We are receiving the most gratifying
| news daily Of the Endorsement Of the Lib
eral eaus by the best men of both of the
great parties in the country. As speei-
men, let me quote from the journal Of cor
respondence" of this date.
