case he il obliged withdraw and, at Philadelphia,
personally irreproaehable candidate shall be proposed
that the Liberal Republican organization would dis
solve itself and withdraw It's ticket, for the
Liberal movement ia not directed against
and other reasons, Mr. Greeley is morally certain that
Liberal Republicans will maintain and extend their
organization and their candidates would remain III the
field unless the Democrats through another nomlna-
ton should drive them back again to the regular Re-
mace and promise for the Democrats; he promises
them, in case they nominate him, to allow

AT LEAST BETTER THAN PHILADELPHIA.
From ~ Hssliehs Posi- (ScAurSs 0rgan).
The nominations made at Cincinnati relieve
OF the duty 10 say anything further about them for
the present These nominations require further ex-
PLANTATION. We recommend them well as the platform
at the head OF this paper to readers Tor their eXanl
nation. They will probably feel like ourselves. We had
expected more promising result from the Cincinnati
Convention. But whatever fault We may Mud with TINS
result is at least honorable and better one than
anything the corrupt company that will sit at Pha-
delphia Oh the 9th Of June can offer VA.
