Mr.. GREELEY has chosen q reck.
less disregard for the continued ex-
istence of the Republican Party and
for the perpetuation of the princi-
piles with which they are identified
Is there any considerable section ol
that party ready to follow his exam.
Pile? The trading politicians have
carried the Cincinnati Convention by
storm; can they make any appreci-
able impression on the decision OF
the people? These are questions
which must be answered by the peo.
pie themselves. If the nation can
calmly face the possibility of re-
newed Democratic supremacy, bring
ing with it all the elements of rank
ling and unsatisfied grudges, snllen
discomfort with recent additions to
the Constitution, and utter absence
of either principle or policy, then,
indeed, 1t may be held matter OF
indifference whether the Cincinnati
nominee is supported or not. But
if the nation be determined to pre-
serve inviolate the results of the war,
to sustain the parry of conviction,
of progress, and of administrative
honesty, and to keep the country on
its present line of material develop
ment and peaceful advance, then il
is of the very highest consequence
that the case represented by Greeley
should be regarded in its true flight

the Republican Party and base be.

Col. Forney, who was recent.
ly reported to be in sympathy with
the Liberal farce, says, in a recent
issue of his paper:
'This matter Of a possible candi-
date for President in case Grant
withdraws has been matter of whis
per. We propose to make it a mat
ter of spoken words. Our President
is not heather god nor a Persian
Lhan. He is one Of US he belongs

er, Andrew Jackson; the rail split
ter Abraham Lincoln, divided the
honors of a greatful nation, because
they were true to their country. II
is a supreme pleasure that the same
people who elected Grant have also
a right to criticise and censure him.
We are for him for President against
the field, against all incomers, but
we are free to say. freer than Mr..

Waile at Columbus last Thursday
evening we attended convention of
colored people at the opera House.
The attendance was large and
speeches, which in point of ability
and time were very creditable, were
delivered by F. Waring, j. Pondex-
ter Jno, Booker. The speeches and
resolutions were for Grant first and
all the time, The strongest assuran
ces were given that the colored peo-
pie of Columbus are unanimously for
Grant and opposed to Greeley. One
speaker declared that he would vote
for Groesbeck in preference to Gree
ley as he regarded former gentleman
as unconditionally opposed to any
tinkering with the 18th 14th and 10Th
Amendment.

If Mr.. Greeley sticks and there
should be split of the Republican
party, then it will be the duty of the
hard money, free trade and States
rights Democrat, the honest portion
of the party, to present to all desir-
ing a change, such ticket as can be
voted for, and which will beat both
Grant and Greeley. Such ticket is
not likely to see the light, under the
auspices of Mr.. Belmont's Commit
tee; but after the Philadelphia Con-
vention it can be made here. We
have presented Charles O'Conner as
a fit President of the United States,
who has the power to withstand
Washington corruption, and over
come it, as he did at New York.
We see that he has totally declined
the Mayoralty there, but he would
accept the State rights nomination
for the Presidency, and have i'm
mense chances for election.
Our fello W. citizen, Mr.. Groesbeck,
would be good candidate for Vice
President, being very suitable
man to preside over tie delibera-

There is no onequestion either of

agrees with us, except the transient
one of amnesty, By nominating him
we should stultify ourselves as free
traders, stulticy ourselves as oppon-
ents of the Ku KIuk law, the odious
bayonet election law, martial law in

series of subjugating measures which
Mr.. Greeley has championed and the
D mo ocratic party ha s
opposed within the last two or three
years.

What q safe executive officer Mr..
Greeley would make in dangerous
crisis, those can answer who remem-
ber how ardently at the beginning
of the REBELLION, he advised the nation
to "let the erring sisters go in
peace" who recall his
constant and blunder-
ing cry of "On to Richmond ;."who
have not forgotten his conference
with rebel emissaries at Niagara
Falls; who recollect the testimony
Mr.. Lincoln bore concerning him
that more unsafe, imprudent lnan
there was not in the whole country.
The fact of the matter is, that there
has not been an important exigency
in the nation for years when, if Hor-
ace Greeley had been at the head of
the government, the safety of the
country would not have been imper-
lied.

The following extract is from the
Louisville Volksblatt, regular Re-
publican:
I'VE find no reason for regretting
the sudden end Of the liberal move
ment. We sorrow but for one; ;
Senator Schurz, who, as one of the
most talented leaders of the Repub-
lican party, was so successful in lead
ing that party to victory. who SO
earnestly fought against the attemp
ted session of tile radical Demo-
Gratis in Clevland in 1864, and who
remained so true to the party, that
he should attempt to demolish the
work to the building of which he
contributed so much-we can not
believe it. Had it went in accord
ance with his wishes, Adams would
have been nominated. But his bad
spirit, Frank Blair, whom he him
self assisted to power, spoiled his
plans. Greeley and Gratz Brown
received the nominations. The
drama has ended, the farce begun.
Poor Schurz

The Cincinnati Volksblatt, Ger.

The Cincinnati Volksblatt, (Ger.
man) says:
The position of the prominent
Liberal Republicans we discussed
Yesterday. Stanly Matthews, the
temporary chairman Of the Cincin.
natl Convention, is against Greeley.
He, like Judge Hoadley, Kittredge,
Stallo, and others, would rather
vote for Democrat like Groesbeck.
than for a Republican like Greeley.
AS regards the German voters OF
this city, the nomination of Greeley
was bowl of disappointment from
which they have not yet recovered.
The nomination of Adams would
have been receivedsby them with
great enthusiasm. Adams would
have received at least so per cent. of
the German votes, regardless. .of par
ty. The nomination of Greeley has
not only left the Germa ms cold, but
has filled them with displeasure and
indignation. There are doubtless
many German Republicans who
would rather vote for Greeley than
for Grant, but there are also many
German Democrats who would ra.h.
er vote for Grant than for Greeley.
The Irish on the contrary are en-
thusiastic for Greeley. The Cathol-
ic Telegraph declared in his favor
before the convention, and as a mat
ter of course supports him now.
Mr.. James Fitzgerald, who during
the convention did all in his power
to defeat Mr.. Adams, is a glowing
advocate of Greeley. In the p-ess
Greeley has hut two supporters
namely the Enquirer and CONNER.
cial. All the other papers are op.
posed to him. The influence of the
Commercial will doubtless gain
many votes for him among the Re
publicans, but the people in gener
al have adopted the policy OF swat
ing for something to turn up" They
desired to await the result of Ithe
Philadelphia and Democratic Ma
tional Conventions. This seems to
us the proper mode of action.
While we, therefore, make no at
tempt to predict what the pubic
opinion of this city will be i'll two
months from now, we can neverthe-
less venture the assertion supported
as it is by facts, that it is at presen
opposed to Greelev. 1t would b'
impossible to hold a ratification
meeting in which a single prominen
American or German Republican
would take a part. The fact tina
in Cincinnati. the place of the nom
ination, no ratification meeting ha:
been held, is in itself significant

The Connecticut Senatorship.

Senator Ferry has been re elected
to the United States Senate from
Connecticut by combination of one
hundred and sixteen Democrats with
seventeen Republicans, against one
hundred and twenty-five Republi-
cans. Senator Ferry. has been for
some time in feeble health, and has
not been able, for a portion of his
term, to attend to his duties in the
Senate. Whilst there has been hith
erto no ground for impeaching his
personal or. political rectitude, he
will gain small satisfaction in lend
ing himself to an intrigue by which
the unmistakeable wish of the Re
publicans of his State was thwarted
and the disorganizing schemes of the
Democrats aided. General Haw-
ley, honorably and ably editing the
Hartford Courant, to-day holds a
better position before all honorable
men than does Mr.. Ferry, Returned

ton of handful of selfish Republi-
cans with the Democratic enemy-C

The Cincinnati Gazette very logi
cally epitomizes the situation thus !:
"frstly, it would be rash and haz-
ardous undertaking for public men
to change decision of the people
when the people are not at all shak-
en- by the subsequent events. Sec
ondly, to change popular indication
in order to harmonic the party,
would be an irrational proceeding.
Thirdly, even if the nomination
of Greeley were likely to cause a
serious Republican secession, we
doubt if any ane could name man
that would carry more Republican
strength that Grant. 1t seems to us
a proper time to say that the nomin-
alton of Grant has been settled by
the unmistakable expression of pop
ular sentiment, and that any attempt
to change it at this time would seri-
Gus, dissatisfaction 10 the Republi-
can masses, and would be an unwar-
ranted disregard of the popular judg-
ment. Therefore change, instead
of harmonizing, might disintegrate
the Republican Party"
