Another RepubIicanjourna re-
pudiates Grant and indorses Gree
ley and Brown. The Walton
Chronicle, an enterprising weekly,
Published at Walton, Delaware
County, New York, makes this
frank avowal of it's convictions:
"The actfonpf the PhiladeIphia
Convention has decided the pre-
liminary issue of the campaign,
SD far as Republicans are concern
ed, and we r called upon to
choose between Grant and Gree
ley. Our choice is Horace Gree>
ley; and to-day we hoist his name
and that of his associate. This
has not been done in haste, or
without a firm conviction that,
for honesty, patriotism, ability,
and as a firm and able advocate Of
the principles of the Republican
party and of the present issues of
the day, he is, in every respect,
the peer Of his opponent"

Nine out of every ten Republi-
cans have lost confidence 10
Grant; they + disappointed and
feel they have been deceived.
They do not believe that our Gov
ernment was made for the benefit
of Grant and his cousins. They
believe that those who hold office
are the agents, and ought not to
be the masters of the people
The people are justly alarmed
when they remember that the r.
dinary expenditures of the Gov.
ernment, from Washington down
to Lincoln, amounted to less than
hundred millionsi while
since the war, only seven years,
twenty six hundred millions have
been collected from the people,
The debt has been reduced less
than three hundred millions,
while the amount collected in the
last six years has been greater
than the whole debt!

The Cleveland Herald says it
has found but five outspoken
Greeley Republicans in that city.
Which reminds the Plain Dealer
of the report OF an enthusiastic

there are but three Grant men in
that place: zone is the Postmas-
Ter, another the Assessor, and the
third is a id fooI.'

The skies are Rrisht!

The office-holders are Lrying to
hold on to the. crib, and have seiz
ed the control Of the Republican
organization to enable them to do
so. Their object is to keep in
themselves, and keep other Re-
publicans out-the knaves to stay
in, better men to be kept out.
In fact, there is no Republican
party! A Grant faction, harass-
ed and driven by a horde ofoffice-
holders, Who are determined to
perpetuate themselves in power
now rule ard run the country.
The result is, that the best citizens
of the old Republican party want
Grant and his faction defeated.
Thousands Of Republicans will
vote with US, and be welcome to
our party on terms of absolute
equality. The Democracy are lib
eral and just. and thousands of
our best men have come to US
from the Republicans and thou
sands more are with US in wish
ing Grant and his faction defeat
ed.
Good news greets us from every
quarter of Ohio. Our friends are
determined to poll every vote; and
with the slogan Of REFORM
the battle cry of Equal Rights and
Equat Burdens! they march with
the people to victory!

4DENT OF THE CONVEN-

With a unanlmity unparalleled
in the history of any partizan
Convention ever held in this
country, says the Dayton Ledger,
and an enthusiasts n that was
overwhelming and indescribable,
the Ba1tim orr Convention nom;-
mated HORACE GREELEY andGkATz
Brown for the Presidency and
Vice-Preeidency. 1t was an act
which the whole country not on
~ erpected, but DEMANDED, of the
Democratic Party. And, true to
Its ancient instincts ct an enlarg-
ed and liberal patriotism-trae
to its ancient maxim of "Countru
before PGrty," nobly has the De-
mocratic Party responded. TO
the good of the whole people, in
cue day, it has sacrificed years
Of ancient personal prejudices,
and thus made the rescue of our
country from the thraldom of the
Geant ring of nepotists, plunder-
ers and consolidationtsts, both a
a possibility and a certainty
Honest men can now GO into pol
itics with enthusiasm, courage
and hope, because the day of de-
liverance is near! If the Demo
cratic party had no other event
to be proud of in its history it
could still boast of its magnani
nifty and self,sacrifce at Balti-
more to day. where casting aside
the hatreds engendered by years
of bitter political conflct, it threw
into the scale the weight Of its
mighty moral and political pres
tige, and powerful and compact
partizan organization, in order to
give life, energy and hope to the
Liberal Republican, Democratic
movement first conceived by the
lamented Vallandigham in Day
ton, practically begun in Mis-
souri,, still further embodied at
Cincinnati, and now rendered cer-
tainly triumphant throughout the
entire nation by to-day's action
at Baltimore. We hail the event
joyously, for we have labored for
it zealously! 1t means the res
generation of the Republic, the
of old animosities, and the
dwelling together, like brethren,
of North and South. Such q un-
Of Democrats and Liberal
Republicans is the meeting OF
and Charity, and its fruits
will be Goodwill, Honesty anu
Prosperity. Only one thing rel
to be done to make the
good work perfect, and that is
hat both Democrats and Liber-
Republicans will keep up the
generous spirit with which we
AVE heretofore been animated,
md carry it out in State, county,
md district affairs, as well as in
ederal and national! Then, in
Iced, will the entire country be
REDEEMED, DISENTHRALL-
I'd, R~EGENERATED!

Conservative Republicans have
no longer an excuse for voting
with the Radical destructionists.
They have differed with the DEM
ocracy upon matters Connected
with the war and with the results
of the war as embodied in the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments, but the Democracy have
now metthem half way, by dec1ar-
ing thatthese amendments are ac-
complished facts and no longer in
the arena of politics, so that all
the differences of vital charac.
ter upon the questions are settled.
Upon all other questions they car
muster under the Democratic
banner.
All Conservative Republicans
are opposed to Grants extrava>
CANT and personal government,
and so are the Democracy.
They ale in favor of paying the
public debt as we agreed to- pay
it-gold where gold is stipulated,
and paper where paper is named;
and SO are the Democracy.
They are in favor of taxing the

are the Democracy.

New Set Of Leeches.

1
About a year ago Henry Clay
Dean: now rampant Greeleyite,
wrote to the New York Tribune u let.
ter contradicting the rumor that he
was favorable to the new departure.
He gave reason Tor opposing which
has great force. It IS as follows:
This I hold logically true: That if
'the Republicans were right in max
sing the war, creating the debt, and.
changing the Constitution, l can see
"no reason why new set OF leeches
should be applied to the body polite
for mere variety of change" The
force Of this reasoning Is irresistible.
II Republicanism is all right; if there
is no issue of principle raised by the
| Opposition, what ground is there tor
| demanding change? BY adopting
platform protesting full Endorsement
of the doctrine of the Republican
! party, the Democracy said to the
country: We have been all wrong
ever since the Republican party came
into existence, upon every party issue
raised,whlle our opponents have been
all right. Our errors were five fold,
namely: Opposition to slavery re-.
strictions; opposition to the wars
opposition to emancipation opposl-
ton to universal suffrage and opposi-
ton TO the payment of the national
debt in good faith. The people did
we'll to keep us out of office these
twelve years, bat now we proposeto
turn over new leaf; please give MS
chance at the public crib" This is
equivalent to saying: am thief,
therefore trust me; arm a dog, for
shat reason let me watch yoor din-
"ner basket" In pronouncing the
men who occupy such disreputable
position a G set Of leeches," Dean
foreshadowed the verdict of the peo
pie to be rendered two months

| lea for their noble devotion to the cause of
! freedom their admission to wider fields Of
usefulness is received with satisfaction, and
| the honest demands, Of any class of citizens
! for additional rights should be treated with
respectful consideration.
Is. We heartily approve Of the action Of
Congress in extending amnesty to those
lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the
growth of peace and fraternal feeling
throughout the land.
'6. The Republican party propose to re-
erect the rights reserved by the people to
themselves as carefully as the powers dele-
gated by them to the State and to The Feder-
al Government. 1t disapproves of the re-
sort to unconstitutional laws for the purpose
of removing evils by interference with the
rights not surrendered by the people to
either the State or National Government.
II. 1t is the duty of the General Govern
ment to adopt such measures as will tend to
encourage American commerce and ship
building.
1S. We believe that the modest patriot
ism, the earnest purpose, sound judgment,
practical wisdom, incorruptible integrity
and illustrious services of Ulysses s.
Grant have commended him TO the hearts Of
the American people. and, with him at our
head, we start to-day on o new march to
victory.
