OUR WARRINGTON LETTER.



The Democracy of South Carolina,
Missouri, Vermont Indiana, Pcnnsyl-
vania and New York have virtually
ind0rscd Horace Greeley There is
no doubt of his nomination at Balti-
more j. A. Hendricks for Governor
of Indiana is a strong nomination, and
in my opinion he will poll a number
Of thousand more votes in October
than Greeley will in November Mr..
Hendricks Is very respectable gen
tleman, and would make by far bet
ter President of the United States
than Horace Greeley TO whose sup
port hc has been compelled by the
crack of the Blair whip

! have known Hon. J. " Edmunds
upon whom the management will

past. He is without exception the
clearest political thinker and most
efficient organizer within the ranks of
the Republican party.-A man of the
utmost integrity and fidelity to his
trust. He will only employ honOra-
ble methods of warfare but, if labor.
assiduity, skill and energy can accom-

for want of these qualities on his

pressed that it will be not only

people of this and other sections have
already gone or are in full prcpara-
tion to spend the Summer at that de-
lightfully cool and elegant summer
palace known as Fort William Henry

in the world for it, location and adap-
tation to combine health and pleasure
with fashion elegance and comfort,

fine facilities for fishing, is stocked

of its guests.
FUTURE SECESSION.
Ii is a significant fac; that while.
for the sake of securing the Prcsidcn-
cy, Horace Greeley has changed all
other sentiments and principles sus-
tanned bv him for the past forty wears,
he has never taken back his often de-
clarcd secession views for which the
Rebel South are willing TO support
him The bailing of jeff Davis a.
soon a. the war was over j. confirma-
tiOn of his continued belief in scccS-
sion which he 80 constantly advocated
at the opening of the rebellion. Now,
if it should SO happen that this scccsh
philosopher should occupy the prcsi-
dental chair, and his Southern friends
shonld scccdc a. before what compli-
cation might not be made with foreign
powers, before the people can drive
him from the executive power! The
possibility of his reaching the Prcsi-
dency is doubtless ont of all question.
but there are some whose crcdulitv
goes 80 far as 10 believe it probable.
and to them this is an interesting
question for consideration. james
Buchanan gave trouble enough to the
country without positive scsesh scnti-
mcnts simply because he did not be-
