Horace Greeley will be stronger as time

FROM the Portland Argus.l
In this emergency the purer and better
portion OF the Republican party break from
The lies of their organization, and with the
banner ofrelorm over their heads aad lis pur-
pose sincerely in their hearts, march out 10 do
battle against the men In power and the abuses
which they tolerate and practice! In such an
emergency can Democrats hesitate where their
path OF duty lies? Not for moment. The

fearless patriot, the able statesman.

eyebrows.
Praise from Grant Organs.

Horace Greeley must not be underrated.
None will deny his capacity, courage and In
tegrity. he lis undoubtedly the foremost, even
if The most erralic, journalist In this country,
and for this we honor him. NOT WIN

his large though sometimes mistaken oeneVo-
lence.
From the Philadelphia North American
OrMr. Greeley himself, the chosen -.om'nee

won great and deserved distinction.
The Stronger Ticket In the Field.
From the Richmond (vs.) Whig.
We do lot see how any reasonable man can
hesitate. Than Horace Greeley there Is not
a more lberal-miuded, patriotic, consclen-
tlous large-heart.d man In the country. we
cannot Imagine that the Depouracy will hest
late a moment about supporting this ticket
"a ticket that will strike the Administrator
with terror, and cause proscriptive and malig-
nant Radicalism to tremble.
The Feeling In New Orleans.
fFrcm the New Orleans Times.l
MANY citizens begin already 10 regard the
nominations as the best that conld have been
made. At the rate at which this conviction has
grown and expanded, within the last twenty
four hours, we ieel assured that In few days
there will he general setting down OF the
popnlar sellrmeno into an enthusiastic support
OF Greeley and Brown, and demand for their
endorsement by the Democratic National Con-
A Voice from Alabama.
Tsr m the Selma TImes.l
In the selection of Greeley, whose kindness
of heart, whose honesty, and whose love OF
country Is second to no Republican 10 the
Union, with the aid OF the Democracy, we see
the next President of the United States. 1t
gives hope to the people Of the South, and
speaks In louder tones than any event since
thewar in favor of Republican government
by the people.
