ONE WEEP OF TEE CAMPAIGN.

From the New York Trbune.l
Just week has elapsed since the country
received the unexpected news of the CIncir.
natl nominations. In this Interval political
movements and changes have been 80 rapid
that they can hardly be realized without a re-
Prospect.
l. The Democratic National Committee has
issued its formal call for National Conven-
tlon at Baltimore on the 9Th oil July. The
action was nowhere alexpected; among poll
solutey certain; and yet 1t seems to be re-
ceived in various quarters With (perhaps not
unuaual) expressions Of dissatisfaction.
2. The Tennessee Democratic State Conven-
ton has, by vote OF 72l 10 1872, declared for
the Cincinnati ticket, protested against The
pressptation of rival candidates by the Ma.
tionaf Democratic Convention as unwlse, un-
necessary and exceedingly dangerous, to the
welfare Of the people, and instructed the dele
gates thereto to act IN the spirit of this decla-
8. The Tennessee Liberal Republicans are
reported % resolved, anyway, on separate
electoral ticket.
4, The temper of the Sonth seems quite
generally favorable to the Cincinnati ticket.
EXPRESSIONS like that of the Tennessee Con-
venLion are common from local 0rgaDlzauons
Prominent Southerner5 like Garrrt Davis,
General ]. B. Gordon, Governor Brown, OF
Tennessee, Edward A. Pollard, General limbo
and many others, including men who signed
the calls for Philadelphia, and delegates elect
thereto, have either publicly OF privately ex-
pressed their sympathy with CINCINNATI.
Leading papers like tile Louisville Courier
Journal, which seemed at first dis
posed to hold back little, say that,
whether the leaders will or no, the people
shave made up their minds to 60 the Gin
cinnatl ticket with whoUp." The Cincinnati
Enquirer, which represents large Southern
constituency, holds even more empnatlc
language The st. Louis Repub lean Is out
spoken; the Richmond papers take tine same
view; the New Orleans Picayune and Times
commend the ticket 10 the support Of the
Democratic party. SO do the Memphis Ava
lanche, Appeal, and Ledger, the Nashville
Banner, and Union and American, the Charles
ton Courier and NEWS, and scores OF other
Southern journals hardly lees conspicuous IN
their own localities. Hundreds OF private let
ters from men of known standing ara even
more explicit than the public expressions OF
leading politicians and journals. But, on the
other hand, Alexander II. stephens earnestly
opposes the Cincinnati ticket, and demands
straight Democratic nominations. and ne un-
dop6tedly represents considerable feeling,
which will In time make Itself heard.
S. There has been Serious dissatisfaction
with the Germans, who constitutes main ele-
ment of Liberal Republican strength. Excl
ted German editors at Cincinnati declared
that not a German newspaper would support
the nominations. But the next day one OF
the most widely circulated aud Influential Of
them all, Carl Schurz's Wes,liche Post, came
ont manfuliy for ticket and platform. The
Cincinnati German papers opposed, that OF
New Orleans supported the ticket. In New
York they divided, but the Stats Zeitung
(Democratic) seems resolved on opposition.
b r. Hht fhap f.u,- and tho WkailInha
Post, OF St. Louis, yesterday published favor
able extracts from about twenty In different
parts of the West, crowning the list win
letter from Governor Koerner, OF Illinois,
heartily accepting the results Of the conven-
tion.. On the whole, 1t may be fairly said that
German feeling, especially among Repnbli-
cans, is much more kindly than on the morn.
ing after the nomination., but that. there Is
still discomfort.
6. The Independent Republican press sup
ports the ticket heartily. The Chicago Trl-
bune was the earliest In the field with uuqual-
fed and cordial support Tne GoaGipns.. nTa
scarcely later. Ind OF the other and able
journals which helped 10 carry the movement
up to the Cincinnati Convention, not one, save
the Evening Post of this city, Is now recalled
as having abandoned 1t.
Z A large majority OF the Democratic press
either openly favor the Cincinnati ticket OF
speak of 1t as one they could cordially sup
port If approved by their convention. A
decided and able minority, led by the World
Of this city, oppose 1t with some heat:
81 The movement has wrought marked
change in the tone ofthe denomination organs.
They began with jeers, but at The end OF The
first week evince already upmstskable signs
of regarding 1t as very serious piece OF busi-
ness. They have quit abusing General Sehurz,
and his principal sianderer has indeed taken o
praisng him. There Is less talk ABOUT " core
heads." There are mysterious and probably
baseless rumors about throwing Grant over
board at Philadelphia; and the names OF Blaine,
Cofax. Boutwell,, and Wilson, get Significant
mention. A brother-ln-law OF Governor Nor
ton appears with numerous private and Con-
fdential letters, urging that Indiana 81 atesmns
as the only Presidential candidate VINO can
save the party; and Governor Morton hastens
into telegraphic correspondence with tne
West, ,ldlsavowiDg his brother-in-laW, and re-
newing his oaths Of allegiance.
9. Ratification meetings and the formation
of Liberal Republican clubs for the campaign
are already common, although the organizA-
ton tor the campaign has hardly yet been ap-
proached-the committee for this State not
even having Its first meeting until Tuesday
afternoon of next week.
We have aimed to set forth the exact sit.
uatIon, dispassionately and fairly. On the
whole, Liberal Republicans have every reason
to be satisfied with the first weeks showing In
their campaign.
QUESTION OF HOPE OR DIS4STER
FOR THE SOUTH.
