the American people who Deneye lhe time dd ma

States. Mr. Greeley has long been distinguished as ,ne
of the people, and is now almost certain that he will be

FREEDOM FROM PARTISAN RESTRAINT
From The Jtrre Hout, Gosette

The Gazette in being permitted to place "a az tno .no

are but following the dictates Of unprejudced ludg
ment impelIed alone by the promptings Of patriotism
and acting IN accordance with what we thR rs ~

of all the powers of this Government into ehlei eIee
five head. AS a man, his moral character Is above
reproach as citizen, he contains in himself more of

history is that which is written OF every true genuine

may control the opinions OF men, but the days are isst

MR.. GREELEY WILL FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF GRANT.
From ne NeV. Yorker AJendZ5tung
Some persons have taken the trouble to tell
us that the nomination Of Gre ley was not 50 very bad
that the caTpetbaggers OF the south for him that
he will probably receive the support OF the Democrats
and even that it is more than probable that
that, in particular, proves 10 US more than
anything else that Greeley is the most unsuitable man
to counteract the fraud and corruption which have eaten
into system. The same bartering which procured
for him the nomination at Cincinnati will make itself
apparent as soon a. he is elected. He must follow
tlrely in footsteps of Grant and distsute the GOV
ernment offices ony as rewards for political services In
the election, and the Democrats will know how to pro-
cure large share

CANDIDATE TOTALLY DESTITUTE OF SOUND
JUDGMENT.
From Harpers Bcelv.
The Cincinnati nomination struck the coun-
try at with amusement and establishment. IL was
probably the only nomination for President made
have often spoken Of the patriotic OF Mr. Gree
ley, do we forget Them They will not be for
gotten during tho long and searching scrutiny TO which
his public life and words and deeds will now be sub.
mited, The necessarily personal character OF the
chosen to present merely personal issue
1t claimed to be Republican Convention,
and II has nominated Republican against the regul r
action and the known wishes OF the great mass of Repub
cans and who cannot hope to be elected by Republican
the enemy His sole chance in their protection. The
question presented to the country therefore, Is whether
Mr. Greeley supported by the political interest which
give TO the country greater purity Of administration and
