MIR. GREELEY's JEFFERsoNIAN PRINCIP


IRON The Paterson ~. ~ Vo1yreiHd
The agitation in favor of the Cincinnati
ticket makes gratifying progress. Many of the most
South favor the Endorsement Of the Cincinnati ticket in
the Democratic Convention to be held ON the 9th OF
july The platform made in Cincinnati Is so liberal and
in harmony with the principles Of the Democracy that
every Democrat can confidently support IT, And Mr.
Greeley has given his word TO pursue liberal policy If
elected, and as he Is accustomed 10 keep his promises
no DeDocTat should hesitate TO vote for him But
consider Horace Greeleys character his political
views and opinions which web known that
need be In the least doubt respecting them shall ind
that Greeleys principles mostly correspond with those
of Thomas Jefferson expressed in his first inaugural
address; we therefore, have perfect right 10 regard
manded, among other things. from Democratic
Government: Equal rights for all without regard
Jealous preservation of the electoral rights of the people,
the supremacy of the civil over the military authorities;

maintenance OF public credit dissemination OF intel
hgeuce, and denuncaton Of all abuses before the

TALLY chosen jurymen. This is certain extent the
confession Ot fath OF the Democracy laid down by
Jefferson In his first inaugural address, and whoever has
followed the public life and labors OF Horace Greeley
cannot deny that he has always adhered these prnc

MEANING OF MR.. GREELFY's ELECTION.
From Tn BosIhag 0reen lAgl Peatagroph.

It may be taken as decided that the South,
by overwhelming majority. desires the election Of
Greeley and Brown. Very few papers of any influence
have expressed opposition TO the Cincinnati nominees
and those few belong 20 the rapidly dmin-
ishing wing OF extreme Southern impracticables.
The election OF Horace Greeley implies confidence in the
ability and willingness of the people TO govern them
selves peacefully ana properly, with full
that standard OF local selfgOyernment, originally de-
signed and necessary for the heslthul working OF
free republican Institutions The acCentnce OF Horace
Greeley will forever silence the charge OF reactonary
hopes made against the South and pave the way for
prOractod Of peace aOrdug opportunities of great
prosperity to all portions of the country.
