L
| the present campaign, because ii was
regular, and according to the usages of
not only the party itself, but OF all par
| ties. The Cincinnati Convention was
conceived by oflice-seekers, and born
| amid disappointed and disconnected Re
publicans. There was and is nothing of
| principle to warrant or justify the move
| ment; nothing of reform that the Re
publican Party had not been, and is not
now willing and quite ready to concede
and advance. 1t was purely a Conyen-
ton of office-seekers, and their immedi-
ate friends, having no principle at ISSUE
and nothing to crafty or satisfy, save
the lust of official place. VIII the PeO-
pie thus permit the Republican Party
! thus to be broken and DESTROYED. in eff
forts to please and satisfy few hungry
and disappointed Offfce-seekers, who to-
day would be the devOut wOrshippers of
President Grant, had it been in his pow
er to have permitted them and their rel
ativcs and personal friends to revel in
office and feed at the Public Crib. | have
too much faith in the integrity of the
people to believe any such thing They
will disapproye and condemn it.
! Under such circumstances, the true
|
for the Philadelphia Convention to re-
nominate Gen. Grant for President. upon
! the platform established by it to meet
the present situation, and then let the
! Cincinnati Oflice-seeking Republicans
and ''s0reheaded" boilers take the re-
| spOnsibility of helping into power and
| into the Presidential Chair, that old dis
| union Democratic Party, which, at Chi
! l,n
part Of the Union against Treason. Slave
ry, and all political crime, as a failure,
and recommended the making OF some
| kind of terms for a cessation Of hOstili-
| ties by the Slave Confederacv, with JEFF
fersOn Davis, that great prince OF all
| traitors and unhung political villains, af-
| forwards bailed by Horace Greeley, the
! present nominee of that same Democrat
! ic Party. The people will understand
the whole case, and this beautiful party
| of secession and disuniOn Democrats and
| disappointed. 0f1fce-Seeking, Cincinnati
| Convention Boilers will not, through
its deception and fraud upon the country
in the nomination of Horace Greeley,
step into official position, to control and
manage the Government.
No better men could have been NOM
| mated for this great contest than Presi-
dent Grant and Senator Wilson; and
| there is no safety for the csuntrv and
| Union, but in their election in NOyem-
Der next. The nomination of Horace
! Greeley, in the, manner and under the
| circumstances attending the same, rem
| ders the political situation. and the con-
dition Of the country, and of political af-
fairs, truly alarming. Indeed, | regard
the Union, the Republic and the COnsti-
| tuition, in as great danger and peril as
during tn dark and fearful days inter
vening the election of Mr. Lincoln in
1860, and his Inauguration, March 4th,
! 1861 Nothing but an uprising OF the PEG
| pie at the ballOt-boN in November next.
| as they did under the war summons of the
| great Lincoln. in 1861, can now rescue
our country-the great Republic, and
! the American Charter Of Liberty, from
! the hands and possession of those who.
on the field Of blood, failed to obtain
| them by the successive defeats and vic
tories won by Gen. Grant
| The denomination of President Grant
could not have been prevented, for it
was a fixed and settled fact in the
minds and hearts of the people, and.
therefore, | believe that no earthly
power can prevent his reelection in
! November next. But we would see the
Party and all the hitherto faithful and
! battle-wOrn Republicans, loyal to its flag.

! Union. and Republic, as founded by our
fathers, re-established and re-baptized

standards and its destinies, with no dis

| President Grant and Senator Wilson
! having been nominated upon suitable
national platform for the Campaign of
1872, will. beyond doubt, be elected,
and thereby secure the safety of the Re
public and Of all things therein.
There are no longer contentious with
in the Republican party lines, for all the

!
party treason and infidelity. have come
| back to the good old Republican Fold to
| help complete the great work and mis-
sion Of the Republican Party, and not
unmindful of the past, have gathered
around those old Republican standards
| that have been baptized in blood and
fire at a cost of millions upon millions
| of Treasure, and catching anew the

the great Soldier and Patriot, who, at
AppomattoX strangled unto death that
great monster-SCcession, Disunion, and
| Treason.
HORACE GREELEY is the regular nom
! inee of the old Democratic Party that
nominated GEN. MCCELLAND at Chicago
in 1864, and HoRIATo SEYMOUR at New
York in 1868, which sanctioned and
sanctified GEN'L. T. p BLAIR's Broad
head letter, which not only opposed the
war for the Union-and the abolition of
| Slavery, but has for the past ten years
| opposed each and every measure of the
Republican Party to carry on the war,
to save the UniOn-and to reform and
reconstruct the Seeded States. That
Party has not abandoned a single princi-
pie or party creed beyond the mere set
| ting OF q trap to catch few OF the
"Sore Headed" Republicans. 1t is the
same concern and under the same Man
agement as ever before. That Party
nominated Horace Greeley in Conven-
vention at Baltimore duly called and re-
gularily assembled. He is not now the
Candidate of the so-called Liberal ere
publican Party for that was swallowed
up at Baltimore by this Democracy as
Jonah was swallowed by the Whale in
old Bible times, not however to be
thrown up on dry land as he was, but
to be spewed out at sea in the deep and
dirty waters of the Campaign of 1872
The Liberal Republican Party no longer
exists. 1t is among the things that were
but are not. Whoever supports Horace
Greeley supports Democrat duly and
regularly nominated by that Party, and
should he by any means be elected in
November next no greater calamity
