and welfare of the country demand at
this time the united action OF all patri-
Otlc citizens, however widely they
may have differed, or may now
differ on political opinion, to affect
q change in the administration
of the general government, and believ-
ing also, that In the present crisis of
public affairs the Democratic party can
best promote the true interests of the
country by not presenting candidates
from its ranks for President and Vice
President, and by cordially uniting to
the support of the candidates presented
by the Liberal Republicans through their
convention at Cincinnati Therefore, we
do hereby nominate Horace Greeley, of

thereof as citizens, and concurring in
the opinion Of Judge Taney, that eiti-
