The Greeley Discussion.
rNrnusIAsn rop GREELEY.

Al portents of the political skies foretell
a campaign that viii eonfound the coupsols
of the wisest political prophets. The nom
ination Of Greeley for the Presidency took
the country entirely by surprise and the
great public did not quickly recover its
equaniiuity and cool Judgment. Many
people who had been accustomed TO look
chiefly at the oceentreities of the candidate
were disposed to make merry and treat the
movement as q fiasco. The Grant folks
regarded it in this light and exchanged
congratulations with a triumphant air as OF
an assured victory. The Democrats, too,
felt disappointed and disposed to lament a
great opportunity lost. Probably on the
day after the Cincinnati Convention nine
Democrats out every ten in the country
rejected rs prepostorous the suggestion OF
Horace Greeley sthe Democratic Presden'
tial candidate. All this is changed. Ailer
n few DAYS the first emotion passed of and
the thoughtful spirit Of the American public
be an to examine the situation in sober
earnest. From that moment the eandi'
dature of.Grecey and Brown and the idea
they iypily have steadily and rapidly won
upon popular favor The smile of the
Grant partisans has faded into look Of
real anxiety and fear. Their attempt to
rdicule the Cincinnati candidate out Of the
political field ends 10 their own humiliation.
| The Democratic masses, at first naturally
repealed by the prejudice born Of many
! hard fought political conflicts in the past,
| have since taken counsel OF better wisdom,
and realizing that the future and not the
| past is to be cared for, and that their
ancient antagonist now aspires to the very
/ objects which they labor to win, are now
| ready to hail him as loyal ally, coGrade
/ aud chief. Let nobody be cheated with
| the notion that the Democratic parry
| accepts the Cincinnati candidates as a
disagroeabe necessity, When the intelll.
| gence flies over the country on the wings
of the lightning that Baltimore joins hands
with Cincinnati the response of the popular
/ heart will be electric with an enthusiasm
rarely before felt in our politics. Let the
small party politicians hcarlcn to the
mighty voice OF the people aud be still or
join the refrain.
This precious moroccan is from the
the Lawrence, Mass Sentinel, a paper
protesting to be Democratic. Demo
ocratic cntLusiasn for Horace Grccicy
| Well, that is rich 1t is of q piece
however, with all that has appeared in
these pseudo Democratic Journals, il
behalf Of the Prince of Radicals There
is not thimbleful of common sense ia
all they have unitedly said upon the
subject, nor an atom Of consistency
They are simply berelt Of their senses
aud vie with each other in all that is
grotesquO and ludicrous in the nonsense
which they utter in behalf Of then
newly found idol. If Democrats swal
low Greeley at all, it will be under pro
test, aud with many irrepressible rttch
ings To talk about doing it with zen
thusism," is the very quiatesscnce Of
absurdity, and the utteranco Of the
shcerest folly.

Bill Tweed, the Blairs, and some other
politicians Of "Ay blown reputation -
know perfectly wen from the start that
unless they could capture the Baltimore
Convention, by the corrupt arts so well
understood by demRgogues of their kind,
and so ldrcbly indicated and reprobated by
Senator Schurz in his Cincinnati address,
their man would have less chance Of getting
the nomination Of that convention than he
would Of getting a nomination from Grants
convention at Philadelphia. Knowing this,
they have bent every effort, and moved
every possible instrumentality Of political
corruption, 10 dictate to the Democracy,
and pack and label and forestall the action
of the Baltimore Convention, precisely as
the Philadelphia Convention was packed
and labelled and forostg lied.

TnE Policy OF THE BALTBoRE CoNyrX.
1IoN.- Had the Cincinnati Convention con.
fined itself simply to making a platform
like the excellent one they adopted, there
il little doubt that the Baltimore Conyen,
ton would have ratified it and placed upon
it candidates far more acceptable 10 the
Liberal Republicans whatever they amount
tDj as mass than Greeley and Brown are.
Then tie Democracy and the disanoctel
Republicans, without exception, could have
been brought into union, and would have
elected their men to a certainty. Now the
bestthat can bedone istO repair, as far as may
be, tins great error, by raiilying at Baltimore
the Cincinnati platform, displRcing the
Liberal Republican candidates, and putting
up safe, acceptable ticket, such AZ the
Democrats would have nominated if these
marpots had not interierel with them
The day is late. and the circumstances are
not the most ansplciuus but il is still within
the Democratic resources 10 elect the next
President of the United States. But there
must be no more impairment attempts to
force tickets upon the Baltimore Convention
by means of bodies Of men putting on
vastly important airs, but representing only
themselves. Cincinnati has done enough
Of that for this campaign. Had the gentle
men nj the Fifth Avenue Hotel endorsed
Mr.. Greeley, they would only have spoken
for themselves personally, but would have
seemed to speak for thousands Of other
people, and so would have assisted in the
imposture which is being played, Had
they declared for any other candidate, the
expression would have been entitled to no
particular weight. The Baltimore COnveu.
ton will be a real not sham organization
composed of regularly. chosen delegates
from all the States. It ousht to comprise
brains aud experience enough to act for
itself with prndence and judgment. The
delegates who are INSTRUCTED are no
better then members Of other packed con
yeutions. To those who are not may be
left the responsibility Of what to do. II

Some Misrepresentation seems to exist in
regard to the formation of a Democratic
Electoral ticket for Maryl and. The failure
of the State Convention to select Electors
was not an oversight as has been alleged,
but was an intentional omission on the part
Of the delegates. On the 28d Of May last
a full meeting Of the Democratic State
Central Committee was held in this city,
and resolution was adopted calling a
State Convention TO assemble in Baltimore
on Wednesday, the 10Th inst. for the pur.
pose of choosing Senatorial and District
delegates to tho National Convention.
When it was proposed 10 extend the powers
Of the State Convention and authorize that
body TO form an Electoral ticket, il was
suggested and finally agreed upon TO post
pone the selection of Electors until after
the National Convention, and resolution
was adopted declaring that the State Central
Committee should, as soon as practicable
after the meeting Of the Convention, take
such steps rs might be deemed necessary
to put an Electoral ticket regularly in the
feld.-Bdilimore Gazette.
