The die is cast After an exciting
session Of two days, aud after course Of
measures which have been marked by
very great wisdom, the Cincinnati Con-
vention proceeded yesterday morning to
ballot for the selection of candidates for
the taO highest Offices ia the Union. 1t
will. be seen that Horace Greeley has
been nominated for ths Presidency, and
Governor b Gratz Brown for the Vice
Presidency. a stronger ticket could not
have been. selected. There is IN these
nominations no empty. availability, and
in the platform no smOthering Of
principles, no ingenious snare to Sc
duce the hearts of thu people and to reach
the end IN a covert way. The nominees
are men of talent and of unsp0tted integ
rity. Horace Greeley was originally
opposed to the war. He insisted that
the "erring sisters be allowed to depart
in peace When war became inevitable,
he advocated its vigorous prosecution;
but since the last gun Was fred, aud the
Confederate soldiers surrendered, he has
been the consistent, persistent advocate
of Peace and Amnesty, and has urged an
elaboration Of all the mad passions born
of war. For twelve months Dir. Greeley

corruption of the Grant administration

The Democratic party of. the country
has taken no part in these nomininons,
on account of the peculiar c.Tcumsta ices
by which it was surrounded. But as the
candidates are unobiectionable and the
platform generally embraces the great

ocrats have eontended, and as the con-
test is one between corruption and homes

the vote of every man who would pre-

loves liberty and hates despotism, who
aimires honesty AMI abhors corrup ion,
who detests anarchy and would preserve
the constitution while ehDg1ng to the

see the Democrats and Liberal Republic
cans uniting in the glorious work Of res

We invoke every Democrat to rally
TO the standard erected by the Cincinnati
Convention. which is truly the emblem
of his Country future glory. If any

that they may participate in the glory of

preserve the Constitution Let every
Democrat merge all selfish considerations
IN the impulses Of a nabler patriotism.
I'm voting for Greeley and Brown, and
indorsing the platform erected AZ Ciucln-

the perpetuity Of our Institutions. The
whole south must do Der duty in tie good

The spirit of the people is aroused, and
