The Papal Star. or Tho Democrats
Friend.

The acceptance Of the Cincinnati In
y~itation il, therefore, a withdrawal from
Philadelphia. fit means anything what
ever, it is that MIR. Greeley and his as
s~ociates will do what they can to defeat
the action of the regular Republican
G invention which they declare to be
managed, not for the public welfare, but
for personal purposes, But she Phila.
dclphia action can BE- successfully opposed
ONLY by an alliance Of Mr.. Greeley and
his associates. calling themselves Re-
| pubiicans, with tho c who arc not Re-
publicans. Would Mr.. Greeley and his
friends call the victory Of such an alli-
ance u Republican victory: If not, their
success must BE- Republican defeat; and
! therefore il l. not easy to see for what
| good reason they lay stress on the party
name. The letter of Mr.. Gree,ey and
his friends is in response to tie Missouri
invitations. Tint imitation has three
! chief points: revenue rctoFla. civil ser
vice reform and hostility to what is called
the Ku-hlux legislation. Yet Mr..
Greeley is opposed to revenue reform,
aud tavors the ku-klux legislation,
while under this Administration, the
first step; in civil service reform had
been talen at the urgent instance Of the
President. In signing this call to Gin
c%inuati. therefore, Mr.. Greeley allies
himself with the enemies Of protection
for American industry. and with those
who are pledged to repeal laws of per-
soaal protection. which he ~Zcalously sup
ports. The Great Chappaqua farmer,
~co-opcra:or, and prorectionist OF Ameri-
ca: Mr.. Ho.acc Grecley's head WAS lev
el just ONCE" And that was when he
accepted the invitation Of the free trad
crs TO the Cincinnati Convention; for
he has been nominated by them as their
candidate for President Of the United
States. A good juke-the free trade rev.
enar rctformcrs were sold out at Cincin.
natl. alta less price than Esau got for his
birthright. They consented to emascu-
late the Platform t. cone liate the protcc-
ZIONIST. and her the rins-leader of the
protcctionists WAS placed upon it. Such
was the result Of the doublc-dcaling Of
Carl Schurz. ard William VI. Gro vcnor
and now their friends have to swallow
'pig-iron' or bolt. VIII the Democrats
support Greeley and Brown? We think
not, hut time will tell. The whole Dem
ocratic party was thrown in confusion by
the selection Of the protectionist Horace
Greeley ~ c)mminder-in-chicf OF the
anti-admin;stration factions. The De,
mocracy at present are very much like
the shirwreckcd sailor. Ii they hold on
they will freeze to death: and if they IL,
go, they will drown: as the result is the
same. we do not see what difference j,
makes xhether Trey attempt to fight I'M.
der their " leaders or enlist under
tireeley's banner. Yet tho National
Comnnittee OF the untcrrifed Democracy
have called a convention of Democratic
delegates to nominate candidates to,
President and Vice President, or to rec.
ommcnd a ticket for the support of the
Democracy in the next election. THIS
convention will be held IN Baltimore on
the 9th day Of July. Mr.. Greeley, as
for the Germans, they are almost u uni,
doubt Carl Sehurz feels bad over the
nnmiuntioai he, ssys: 1T is not TO he de-
MED that with the exception OF The
South, where Germans and Americas,
would gladly vote for the devil to beat
Grant, the public opinion OF the whole
country is unfavorabie to the Cincinnati
ticket" Carl Schurz, might have suc-
ceedsd very well had no remained true in
the Republican ranks: but his love ior
the Democracy ovcrcame him, and he de-
serted the Union cause, and joined the
enemies Of his adopted, and Of his father
land. His conduct at the Cincinnati
Convention has made him unpopular
among the Germans; and the Democrats
a no about 90 lou1rk h,,, and n
candidates that will represent their pr;n-
ciples and doctrines. Can Carl Schurz
fall ont with his Democratic brothers
for this? Certainly not. for they are only
following his example in the bolt of 1870
against Governor MoClurg and the Re-
publican party, the only difference is that
! his friends arc carrying on the bolt on a
graadcr scale; they are boiling against
