To recalcitrant Democrats Mr.. voorhees,
speaks the following words:
To those who have so warmly eoincided
in opinion with me on the propriety of Mr..
Greeley's nomination, and their name is
legion, let me say that the Democratic
party IS Infinitely preferable in my judg-
ment even with Horace Greeley as its candi-
date, to that portion Of the Republican party
which acknowledges the leadership of
Grant and the profigate managers by which
he is led ON TO his own and his
country's ruin. No thought of recreancy
or lnnQelIty 10 the Democratic party ever
entered my mind. As l cannot control
its cOUDsels / shall submit to them, hoping
that time may show its ways TO be wiser
and more beneficial to the country than |
predicted He who cannot have his own
way in this world, is not therefore ia my
opinion justified in doing nothing. He can
without inconsistency concede that others
may be mora enlightened than himself on
the points at issue and give their plans a
fair trial. .--

OIeeleys nomination VIII be copied by

democratic journals and leaders that OPP

the influence III bringing up
the democratic rear that they
could have eXerted IL they had been origi-
nal advocates OF the Greeley movement.
by their early opposition they have retain
ed the confidence OF that portion Of the par
ty who still need pursussion TO reconcile
them to the ticket. The free expression of
Democratic opinion before the nomination,
bears some resemblance to What takes
place in a council of war previous TO great
battle. Each officer urges his plan With
unrestrained zeal; but when he is overruled
he goes to his post and fights
with just the same fidelity as if
his own plan bad been adopted. This
is precisely what the whole Democratic
press and all the Democratic leaders that
opposed Mr.. Greeley's nomination are about
to do now. Our objections having been
oVerruled, we are willing to recognize Mr..
Greeley's strong points as candidate with
out going back and repeating the offsetting
disadvantages. TIE most important draw
back has been removed by the unexpected
unanimity of the Convention and the ready
acquiescence of Mr.. Greeley's most promi-
nent Democratic OpDOuents
