It's arraigument Of the Administration is as Sc
we're as it's just.
OF the antecedents Of Greeley and Gratz
/ Brown we do not pow propose to speak,
| Their records are well known. But this much
! we may say; They are honest, large hearted,
/ libeTs. minded, bold aud independent men.
I the liberties Of the country would be safe and
/ its administration would be honest in their,
I hands. This cannot be said of Grant.
The Alexandria Gazette says the Cincinnati
ticket is well received there, and adds:
Some Of the Radicals Of the city have ex-
pressed themselves as supporters Of the ticket
lust nominated, aud Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie, who
was appointed at the late Richmond Radical
7 Convention delegate at large from the State
to the Philadelphia Convention, will return
his credentials and use his utmost exertions to
secure the election of Greeley and Brown"
PENNSYLVANIA.
The Philadelphia Press, edited by Colonel
Fyrney says
Mr. Greeley can never, in our judgment, be
President. His path to that eminence is made
rough not by objections 50 much as by obsta
cles, if we may employ the expression. Will
the Democratic party endorse him We think
not, after quite generations deauncia.ion Of
them.
The Philadelphia Inquirer Republican,
says: Mr. Greeley being a Radical we are not
certain that more conservative candidate
would not have answered better the purposes
Of the Cincinnati Convention. Had Mr..
Adams for instance, been nominated it is very
probable that the Democrats would have ac-
cepted him as their candidate There would
then have been but two parties in the field,
whereas there will now undoubtedly be three
As for Hon. b. Gratz Brown, the nominee for
Vice President, his popularity in the West is
great but outside Of that section his strength
is insignificant.
The Philadelphia EceniRg Telegraph rep
says the Democratic rejection Of Greeley, which
seems inevitable, would cause a complete Re
publican reulion. Even if endorsed by the
Democrats, it woald be with little heartiness,
and have the effect Of making the Republicans
adhere 10 their own candidate.
The Philadelphia EreHiay Bulletin styles
the nominations ridiculous nsws, and says
months are before Us in which to work the
rich mines ofthis ridiculous conclusion. Let
Us laugh.
The Pittsburg Post DEM says Ii the
managers of the liberal movement ever expect
ed to enlist the support Of the Democratic par
ty, they could not have adopted a plan better
calculated to make it impossible than to have
nominated the ticket that they did. We risk
nothing in saying that Mr.. Greeley viii not
receive any Democratic support
The Harrisburg Pdtri0i DEM says For
the Liberal Republicans this must be regarded
as a strong nomination. With Greeley as
their candidate they enter the field energeti-
cay 3ainst the Administration enemy, Meth
CT giving nor taking quarter.
The Lancaster h'teiiigeHcer says: The Gin
cinnati Convention, in selecting Mr.. Greeley as
its staudard-bearer, have not apparently been
influenced by a desire to secure for their candi-
date tie endorsement Of the Democratic Con-
Yeution
The Harrisburg SiGte Journal (Rep.) says:
We give Mr.. Greeley JOY on the acquisition Of
bis long coveted honor, aud we congratu ate
the malccnteut Republicans and scheming
Democracy on the character Of their candidate
for President of this mighty republic. His
nomination will imperatiyely force the Democ-
racy to take up Presidential candidate, and
thus leaves the course SO open and free to Grant
that he may walk over it TO an easy victory.
The Lancaster Pa Intelgencer DEM
declares itself at present unable to perceive
! any probability that the Cincinnati ticket Of
Greeley and Brown will be adopted by the
democratic convention"
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Conservative press of South Carolina
heartily endorse the Cincinnati ticket and
platform as eminently acceptable to the South.
The Charleston Mars, under the head Of
The Voice of the South" says-The Demo-
cratic National Executive Committee meets in
New York to-day We trust, in its dclibera-
tons, Que weight will be accorded to the pub
lie sentiment and reasonable expectation Of that
section which in the past has been so steadlast
and so powerful an ally Of the party To Us
. Of the South the action of the national dcmoc-
racy must either bring confidence and assn
rance Of speedy relief from the worst of our
troubles, or else prolong indefinitely the reign
Of anxious doubt and fragrant misgoyernment.
II there be any portion of the democracy who
have a right to object to Greeley as a lifelong
antagonist Of their cherished political views, it
is certainly the people Of the Southern States.
. II there BE any whom suffering and wrong and
relentless persecution have entitled 10 a hear
ing, when the question Of stalking their fate
upon the doubtful fortune Of triangular con-
test is raised, It ia this same people: aud we
but give expression to the unanimous Senti-
ment 10 South Carolina, aud, as far as one can
Judge in the entire South, when we urge and
eutreat our democratic friends throughout the
North 70 sink for a moment all personal pre-
iudice and party pride, and give death-blow
to national corruption and sectional hate by a
prompt, generous and hearty endorsement of
the nomination Of honest Horace Greeley
LOUISIANA.
Nav ORLEANS, May S.-The following arc
the comments of tie morning papers on the
Cincinnati nominations:
The Tines has a column editorial eulogstic
Of the character and attainmentS of Greeley,
which closes by expressing the belief that lie
will defeat Grant.
The Republican says the choice is a good
ore. and will undoubtedly command the con-
fideuce and support Of a large majority Of the
American people.
The Bee thinks the nomination Of Greeley a
bad one It has no iGea that the Democratic
party will endorse it. On the contrary it
thinks it insuras a gtraght-out nomination by
/ the Democratic Convention.
The PicgpUTs believes the nomination Of
/ Adams would have been prefanble, but says
many accept Horace Greeley on the ground
I that be is at least honest. 1t does not think
/ the nomination Of Democratic ticket within
I the range Of possibility.
/ The National Republican says the deed is
