II. G. Rises TO EApLAlN.
New YORK, April 9.-IIorace Greeley will
print the following in the Tribune tomorrow as
TO the course of that paper in the forthcoming
presidential campaign:
First-lf there shall be democratic candidates
for president and vice president in the field, we
purpose 10 support that republican ticket which
seems most likely 10 succeed
SeCOnd-lf the main issue in the canvass shall
be protection against free trade we shall tho
matter as to candidates, be found on the side of
protection.
Third-But if las we hope and expect, there
shall be two republican tickets, and none other
presented with any hope of success, We shall
favor that one whose election will be in our
judgment most likely 10 promote economy in
public expenditure, purity in legislation and ad
ministration, substantial unanimitv in uphold
Ing for all citizens complete equality of rights
under the law, and hasten the return OF trater-
nal concord and mutual good will between
those who were arrayed against each other in
sanguinary strife throughout our great civil
war. Such is our position, and it will not be
affected by the nomination OF A, 3, or D.,
at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, or elsewhere.
Greeley further saws that the Tribune will not
be an Organ" and will print no campaign edi-
tons, whoever may be the candidates.
