.lnly 81 1874, Mr.. Bun ihue said, in lis news

own party to his support He is what the first
Napoleon called idealoglst-a man with a
busy teemtng brain, but with an iniirm, erratic
h impractieable judgment With all his eN-
perieuce il s safe 10 say that he IL the poorest
nudge of character of any prominent man in this
country. He il forever being gulled and i'm
posed upon, az he has repeatedly shown by his
Quxotic support of public and worthless charac-

THE GREAT FEAT or DEGLu rrrIoN.
Now here is the way the New York World
looks at the subject Its only error is in saying
that the Democratic party swallows Mr.. Greeley;
ON the contrary he is the swalluwer, and it has
gone down his throat
such feat Of deglutition will he performed
al Baltimore to morrow or next day. when the
democratic purity will gulp down Mr., Greeley
and this amazing meal has been decided on,
We can only wish tho Democratic party happy
digestion The World will contribute no slime
10 give the animal a slippery passage down the
throat Of the devuurer but when the thing is
done ii will do whatever may be i'll its power to
AID tae digcsiion, and prevent the Democratic
party going into torpid and prolonged stupor by
reason of the heavy load upon its stomach. We
trust there may be vlgor enough in the party to
digest this monstTous meal, and come forth
afterwards 'as well as could be expected.
sEyERE WORDS FROM TIE DEMooRAT1c CANDIDATE,
MIR, Greeley has said some hard things against
men who are nov advocating his election to the
Presidency. Here is a quotation from one of
his editorials il the Tribune, May l, 1861, few
months alter he had counselled the seeding
States to "go in peace" 1t is great change Of
tone, it must be admitted;
when tue rebelliuus traitors are overwhelmed
in the field, aud altered like leaves before an
angry Wlnd 1t must not DE- to return to peaceful
ami contented homes. They must find poverty

Nothing 80 sWers is to be found n the files
OF any other leading Republican paper, and it is
odd enough to see it's author selected as the
democratic nominee for President.
AN ITkM OR TWO ON The CONVENTION.
The permanent president OF the Baltimore
Democratic Convention was James II. Doot-
tie, Of Wisconsin, an old Republican. who only
left his party by Andrew Johnsons persuasion,
in 1866, and became Democrat, several years
later. And then, (see the New York HeratI r.
port) we are told that
Such liberal republicans as Mcclure Tton,
CuglrAUe HDfngg White. larJsYeuOF and John
Delrees had seats on the platform. They al
