Comments OF the London Journals
on the Nomination Of Greeley.
LONDON, July 10 The London journal
comment as follows on the nomination
Of Greeley by the Baltimore Convention:
The AdrerttSer confesses It's sympathies
are entirely with Greeley as a newspaper
man.
The Post declares that such fragrant
reductlO rdbsurdHm will largely tend to
bring about an abandonment Of the system
whereby the people Of America have 80
long been deprived Of all real choice for
their Presidents. ---
The Telegraph styles Greeley q political
weathercock and says as q Democrat,
supported by the south, he Is endeayor.
ing to unseat the General who saved the
Union. nm
The Standard thinks Greeley would not
be an eligible candidate were 1t not for
his electloneering strength. BE is as
honest as q partisan can be, and he shows
occasional gllmpses Of rough good sense;
but he Is violent in disposition, without
regular education and devoid Of expert.
ence in the administration Of public Of.
fairs. In fact he Is q respectable yeo.
man OF the last generation. Although
Greeley is inferior to Adams he Is not
inferior to Grant. We do not believe, il
he is elected, his subordinates will be ap.
pointed from the Tribune Office. F

The DemoCraCy and Its Candidate

~
Under the operation Of what Senator
Bayard called the "gag rule" Mr.. Greeley
was yesterday made the Democratic can.
didate for the Presidency. Since the Is.
sues ol the campaign are thus presented
more clearly to the country, the result Is
not TO be regretted. A Democratic can.
didate, presented by o Democratic Con.
vention, and relying on Democrats for
nine.tenths Of the votes he expects to get,
Is something Republicans at least can un.
derstand. No one can now vote for Mr..
Greeley under the deluslon that Republi,
can principles are In this way to be
advanced, So lar as, Mr.. Greeley pro.
tesses principles In common with Repub.
licans, they are much more distinctly and
thoroughly represented by tho proper
Republican candidate. So far as he un.
dertakes 10 make any issue with the Re.
publican party, he Is essentiallya Demo.
crat. he cannot expect the support oi
any considerable number of his fellow.
citizens who do not approve the purposes
and sympathize with the spirit OF the
Democratic party.
Those who view the Democracy with
deep and well.iounded distrust cannot
conhde in q Democratic candidate, how.
ever lately he may have dotfed the uni.
form OF Republicanism. There is not o
single Democratic tendency Of all those
that have alarmed the country for twelve
years past, to which Mr.. Greeley, in his
present attitude, opposes the slightest re.
sistance. There is not a single element OF
Democracy, Of all those that have
controlled It's course since 1860, to the
intense disgust OF the patriotic and
honest portion ofour people, against which
Mr.. Greeley, In his present position, dares
to offer the iaintest objection. He stands
before the country, his lips sealed to any
utterance ofwarning concerning the grave
and numerous evils, he has justly taught
the country lor years past to expect from
the supremacy OF the Democratic party.
To the most obvious and important
facts in our public affairs-facts he
has himself constantly pointed out
as those which ought to make every
sincere lover Of his country sup.
porter Of the Republican party-he is sud.
denly blind. He cannot see the renewal
of violent prosecution hanging over the
heads OF the newly.made citizens OF the
South: he cannot see the revival of dissen-
sion and disorder threatened by powerful
portions Of Southern society; he cannot see
the widespread corruption, the greed Of
office, the low aims and degrading passions
uniting the Democracy in this last desper.
ate rally 10 regain supremacy Of which
they have so long been deprived by the
calm resolute judgment OF the best and
largest portion OF the American people.
But Mr.. Greeley cannot expect the
people themselves te be blinded by the
causes that have combined to place the
scales upon his own eyes. He has been
an influential teacher Of political truth in
the past, but it was the truth, not the
teacher, the people followed; and they
will adhere to the cause he has betrayed
not to the man who has betrayed it.

Democratic opposition to the Char
lesion Constitutlon.
From the Moundsville Reporter

rEom the mouuusVlue Reporter.
Leonard s. Hall, Prosecuting Attorney
for Wetzel county, is opposing the ratii-
cation Of the New Constitution. He says
that II It is ratified we will be compelled
to remain without any representation in
Congress for the next four years, as the
law at present is, that congressman shall
be elected at the regular State election.
The Schedule changes the time Of holding
our election this year from. October 70
August, and specifics what offices shall be
filled at the August election, but makes
no provision for electing Congressman
Holding the election in August obviates
the necessity oil any election for State
offices in October, and we have no law
under which we can hold an election,
only for State officers. The ratification
of the Constitution abolishes the present
law, and the new one makes no provis-
ion for the election Of congressman. A
