LScec!lcr for President.

The Brooklyn Eag3c, though a Demo
cratic journal, supplies the Republicans
with a new Presidential candidate, and
defines his bearings thus:
Bccchcr goes even further than Gree
ley in announcing his willingness to
succeed the maui on horseback. As be-
tween Beccher and Greeley. the former
would be the more formidable candi-
date. BGCchor is t'rce-tradcr. while
Greeley ia a bitter protcctionist. Beech
or is an orator, while Greeley rccites q
speech as if he had learned it by car,
and We're only anxious to say the whole
of it as quickly as possible, for fear he
should forget some sentence Of his los
son. Becchcr equals Greeley as wri-
ter, and writes his compositions in
plain hand, while Grcolcy's handwriting
is as inscrutablc as his views on pig
iron. BCcChcr is the one man who is
just as widely known TO the bcnightcd
country farmers Of the romotcst North
west as Greeley is. His record on
slavery and all the other dead issues
whose ghosts still haunt the Republican
regions of Iowa and Vermont, is less
blottcd than Greeloy's--for while he has
only the Cleveland letter to atone for
(and that he long ago recanted)-Grec-
ley baled jeff. Davis, and, so far as is
known, has never apologizcd to his
bigotcd admirers for that defiance of
their fanatcism. We really think the
Greeley party may substitute Becchcr
for their candidate with advantage.
