BROWN AND GREELEY.

FOR A NEW PARTY.

FOX a NEW BAhIA.
The Helena (Arkansas) World hoists
the names of nHOrace Greeley and b.
% Gratz Brown" 4" and says: awe enter
the field to-day under the banner OF
Horace Greeley, of New York, and b.
GratZ Brown, of Missouri. From this
time forward we shall battle for their
election TO the offices of President and
Vice-President of the United States
and in doing 50, we shall at the same
tine war against and oppose any nomi-
nation by our own party. This action
on the part of this paper is not the re-
suit of sudden impulse, or Of excessive
enthusiasm, or Of a desire to alb
solve themselves from allegiance to
the grand old party whose history,
reaching hack almost a century, bright
ems every page Of American political
history with the record Of her triumphs.
Calm, deliberate and unimpassiOned
reasoning has convinced us of its Wis
dom. The most ardent and faithful of
the Democracy must admit that the
time is at hand when party lines and
politicians must, in a measure, be for
gotten in order to save the Republic.
There must be new party affiliations TO
preserve our form Of government. We
are passing from a government by the
people, TO a government of grasping,
corrupt offiee-hOldeTs; from a govern
ment Of pure, constitutional liberty to
absolute despOtism. Party lines, if
needs be, should be blotted out when the
national safety is imperilled. We be
lieve the necessity has arisen. We be-
lieve the emergency is upon us, which
calls for united, patriotic action, regard
less of party allegiance.
BE MADE.
From the Daily Shreveport Times.l
The nomination OF Horace Greeley by
the Cincinnati Convention, as we appre-
hended, has been far from satisfactory
10 the Democrats Of the North, as will
he seen by reference to the dispatches;
and ''the shrewdest politicians" at
Washington predict that there viii be
an OUt-and-Out Democratic ticket.
While the people Of the South have re-
garded Greeley as one of their most pO-
tent, if not most vindictive enemies; a
strong advocate Of high tariff, and de-
cidedly opposed to Capitalization, they
vet have been 50 harTied, 50 crushed
down and robbed since the close
Of the war and especially under
Grants administration, that they would
accept the philosopher, If not cheerfully,
at least readily, as a choice of evils.
Moreover, they regard him as a man Of
a kindly heart, and believe that, if elect
ed, he would perfsrce recognize the fact
that he owed his success to Democratic
votes, and hence be disposed to lean to
that side of all questions. So, while
there are many of the party in the South
who would yield a reluctant support,
and some who would not vote at all as
between Greeley and Grant, we yet be-
lieVe that il may be safely assumed that
the mass of the people would prefer that
no Democratic nominations should be
made, more especially as they are al
most positively certain that with three
tickets in the field the election would
he thrown into the House of Representa-
tives, in which event the success Of
Grant would be a fOregOne conclusion.
HARMONY.
From the Natehez Cdlss) Democrat.l
SO far a. can be gathered up to this
time, the sentiment Of by far the greater
part Of the leaders Of the Democratic
party, az well as Of the press and peo-
pie, appears 10 he i'm fay0r of accepting
the Cincinnati ticket and resolutions,
and Of making no nominations at the
Democratic Convention 10 be held in
July. Here and, there, il is true,
we hear Of newspaper or q
politician denOuncing the Cincin-
matt result, and clamOrins for a
straight-Out Democratic ticket, but the
number aud character Of these is so
small, as compared to the number and
character of those who favor indOrsing
Greeley, Brown and the Cincinnati
platform, that it needs no prophet To
fOretell that the cOunsels of the latter
viii largely prevail. One thing is clear
enough, that no straight-Out Democratic
ticket can harmonic the wide dissen-
siOns in the Democratic party. Without
such harmony, 20 make nominations
would be folly. Ii is therefore TO be
hoped that harmony can be produced
between the Democracy and Liberal
Republicans. Out of that will come
victOry-if II can be achieved at all.
WHAT DEMOCRATS SHOULD DO.
From the Opellka CAla.) Locomotive.l
Mr.. Greeley, compared to Grant, ex-
hibits the contrast between day and
night, Intellect and the despotism Of
brute Mr.. Greeley and Mr.. Brown are,
il may be, the two most powerful men
they could have brought upon the field.
No one can dispute the fact that they
will draw in their train many ardent
supporters. Concerning the platform
we will say that, if given to US correctly,
il is much more liberal and favorable
than we expected, and while there are
some portions Of its structure that are
distasteful yet in order to secure the in
stallatiOn Of those most desirable, we
must, Of necessity, express content. The
question, however, Of the action of the
Democracy will be referred to our con-
ventiOn and until then it III becomes
us 20 say what we will or others
should do unless it be TO express a
determination TO cast our vote, voice and
strength in favor Of the men that will
he selected by the Democratic National
Convention. II it decides that the De
mOcracy should cast its vote as one man
for Horace Greeley aud Gratz Brown,
then ID becomes Oufs duty to see them
through. For il is evident to all that
there are many Presidential aspirants,
that would be no, or very little, better
than Grant. The Democracy, IN our
opinion, could go farther and do great
deal worse.
BALTIMORE.
Prom the baltimore Register.
Herein lies the whole danger to the
baltimore Convention. Should that
body over-estimate our strength and
grasp after too much il can but lose the
wholeg Should il make nomination
and that nomination be defeated-the
whole country would be remanded TO a
worse despOtism than ever; and it
would be 50 remanded at the hands Of
the Democracy. Therefore do we warn
our people TO perfect, at once, their ward
organizations and those Of town, county
and State. II II not one day too soon.
They have bitterly learned the price
Of liberty and il behOOves them
10 be Yigilant; 70 he vigllant
that their whole strength is exerted, not
wasted; and that good men and true
are given power to direct II both IN the
convention and I'm the offices in their
sSft The Baltimore Convention is
1ecessity-no less because the National
