achieve the victory in November
There is distinct declaration, as clear
Ms language could make it, that, in tue
the event, through "partizan hate, ambi-
,ious or selfish motives, and want of prac-
teal craftsmanship the Cincinnati Con-
vcntion should "dcreat the expectation of
concerted action on reasonable aud hon
orablc conditions" John Hancock, "fo;'
one" was in favor of proclaiming correct
principles, and making democratic nomi-
nations, through National Democratic
Convention. And yet The News rrctcnds
| that the Judge was in favor CT taking
ann one, who should be nominated by the
| Cincinnati Convention, even Charles Sum.
ncr, or Wendell Phillips; anil because
this very thing, which he deprecated, did
take place, and h., consequently, wrote
his second letter. fnyoring democratic
nomination, accuses him of gross incon-
sisicncy and total change of ground
This the News could only make the least
plausibl. By supprcssing the last part ofthe
I
Judges first letter, n proceeding quite
worthy the late editor of u IA lical news
paper.
| The idea thai there was no difference
between the men spoken of for the nomi-
nation at Cincinnati, which the News tries
to impress on its readers, is as untenabie
and alb out as bad as the garblng and sup
preston Of Judge IIancock's first letter.
Tho present editor of the News may no,
kno W, for though brilliant writer, he is
not we'll acquainted with the politics or
politicians of the country, but all we'll
informed peo2le know that the records of
Greeley and Davis, and even Trumbnll
aud Adams, are very different and while
40 llorest, patriotic democrat might be in
luced, under supposed necessity, TO take
one of the three last nancl it would by no
means follow that he could swallow Gree
| ley. It is well known that Greeley has
advoc tod, ,l,,ring his whole life, tho most
| extreme radical measures. lie was first
blatant abolitionist, and did more than
any other man 10 break up the Union and
! bring on the terrible civil war. Through.
| ont The war, he advocated the most vim
dctive measures. At its conclusion, he
favored the arrest of Lee and johnson. lie
opposed the reasonable reconstruction Of
| President Johnson. lie sustained his i'm
peachment IIo advocated the last bayo-
net reconstruction with negro voters,
While the best men of the South were pro.
scribed and not flowed TO vote. lie sus.
Iaincl the Military Commissions and the
shooting and hanging Of men and women
under their judgments. Down to The last,
he urged the passage of the late infamous
Ku Klux bill and the suspension Of the
writ Of llabeas Corpus. Added to this, he
has been the head and front of protection
for the Monopoists all his days and
has been mixed up with all the isms
which have troubled and disgraced the
country. The blood Of thousands of no.
bic men, South and North, rests upon his
guilty breast, and nc. late shower of re-
pentancc can wash it of and blot out the
hateful remembrance. All this Is the max
ed truth about Horace Greeley and cannot
be denied 10 Sf t..
Now take the record Of Judge Davis. lie
has never been actively engaged in ,oli.I
tics and has no old sins TO answer for.
Though a moderate republican protested
y, he is a State Rights one 10 a certain
extont, and is opposed to high tariff for
protection. While on the Supreme Bench,
he delivered the celebrated decision in the
Milligan case, in which be sustained the
mnjes,y of the civil law over the military.
Now can the News have the face 10 sag
there was aud is no difference between
him and Greeley, who, besides all his posi-
tive sins, had but lately traduced the de-
mocra IN the most offensive manner,
and declared that he would vote for cor
rtpt man like Grant before he would vote
for any democrat =? Yes, it has just the
face to do this without atinge of blood on
its hardened cheeks. Take Trumbull aud
compare him with Greeley. Hyperion
to satyr" Trumbull never was ia.
naiic on abolition or any thing else. lie
is opposed 10 high tariff lie never did
anything to bring on the war. He oppos-
ed the impeachment of President johnson.
As Chairman of the judiciary Commit
tee, he reported against the admission Of
the carpet Dagger, Ames, as Senator from
lie opposed the Georgia swim
die to keep the radical officials in Office
ancr their time had expired, and he op
posed ias doably dyed infamous Ku Kiux
bill. Aud yet the News says there is-no
dig--snce Leiween him anl Greeley, ana

nominees or the Cincinnati Convention as

is almos, as much difference between him
and Greeley as bet Seen light and dark
ness-as between gentleman and
scholar and fanatic and mnggins.
