Ahe Probable Result of the. Esaiti.
more Convention ind Humilia-
ton of the Democratic Party.

From every point of the compass, from
almost every State, and from most Of the
counties,and towns intach State, comes up
the most enthusiastic accounts OF Creeley's
growing popularity, and the almost GER
tainty of his endorsement at Baltimore and
ultimate election.
In that event We shall lie compelled TO
strike our colors, but shall do il with our
face toward efoe, and not until after we
may be fully and fairly conquered. We
shall then have to make a virtue of peces-
sity, not by falling into line with the ma
ny Democrats who are about to immediate
themselves upon the Republican altar,
and voting for Greeley, or some other Re-
publican, but by ceasiug to oppose the
white hated philosopher, and directing
our batteries against the strong citadel OF
Grants administration.
Ii, in the course of human events, Gree
ley shall be elected, and act with the dem
ocrat'c party afterwards, all may be we'll:
out otherwise, we must believe the Democ-
racy will be IN as bad condition in ma
ny respects, rs they are now.
That frotessediy Democratic paper. the
Cincinnati Enquirer, IN the statements Of
which we repose little confidence, polite
ally, though IL is probably right in this
instance, said few days ago, what fol-
lows:
The returns from the States which
have already elected delegates to the Bal
timore convention and the information
rom others which will pronounce within
zen uavs, euahles us to give as fIct an
important announcement. 1t Is this: Gree
ley and Brown are dtred'(n Jy voice Of the
Pssopfc, an STATE Conventions, nominated as
-'hs democratic candidates for President
ara I'ce President Of the United .States.-
ihey have received, at this time, that
popular support that, in the shape of in
s,rnctons, which renders their defeat. if
.neY ilVe' SIMPLY an impossibiity. All
that remains for Baltimore will be TO con-
hrm what has already been determined bv
the peol lie. All anXieties, therefore. i'm re-
gard to the nomination, on the part OF
Democrats, might Us well Cease. The can
dldates, and the only real candidates. will
be Greeley and Brown VS. Grant and vii
SON. From this time henceforward the
campa gn should beso treated. All Dem
ocrats worthy of the name bow to the ar
bltrament of the Baltimore Convention
Its course Is, as we have stated, "A forepone
conclusion. aud our Democratic friends are
al perfect liberty to treat it rs such upon
the manifestations already made. We
impress 1t, there fore, us most significant,
Greeley aud Brown are now nominated
u the statement be true, the nomination
Of Greeley and Brown at Baltimore will be
certain but it will be "a nomination no.
fit to be made and of which every true
Democrat in the country ought to feel
| ashamed
How funny it sounds GREELEY and
brown the Democratic candidates for Pres
iden and Vice President Of the United
'Stdtes'!! After such knuckling and
trucking TO the power of the Liberal Re.
publicans" we are prepared tor any Gle
parture our old associates see proper to
make but we shall be sure not to depart"
with them.
Atthe rate the Democratic party is now
| going there will not be a fragment of il
left worth preserving, after Greeleys time
is out in the event OF his election, and the
next generation will know nothing Of it ex-
cept what the people learn from history
