THE COURSE OF THE DEMOCRATS OF THE SOUTH.
IFrom the N. Y. Herdl
All this support Of Greeley by the Democrats
of the South, however, depends upon the action
Of the Democratic National Convention at Balti-
more, on the 9th of July. II that Convention
adopt the Cincinnati candidates as we'll as the
Cincinnati platform. all right. The Southern
Democracy will support both. II. on the con-
trary, the Baltimore Convention take only the
Cincinnati platform and reject the candidates,
and make separate nominations, the Democrats
Of the South will, as II now appears, give the
ticket so nominated, general support. And
here comes in another question. How will the
South act, suppose the Baltimore Convention
make no nominations, and leave the Southern
people, as well as the Democracy Of all sections,
to act for themselves in regard to candidates
In that case, Judging from present lights and
information, we think we are justified in saying
that four-ffths OF the Democratic white popula-
ton will cast their votes for Mr.. Greeley.
HAS MR. GREELEY ABANDONED THE REPUBLICANS,
OR VICE VERSA
From the N. Y. Tlmes.l
The Republican Party has steadily gone for
ward in the prosecution OF the measures for
which it is 80 freely and justly praised in this
platform, drawn up by MIR. Greeley's delegation
1t has continued TO reduce the debt. 1t is en-
gagged in further reducing taxation. II has
preserved peace on the frontier. 1t ia honestly
adjustment OF the troubles with Great Britain,
and in all this beniicent record the National
| Republican Administration has continued to
" bear a conspicuous share" Moreover the
| party has stood by its principles laid down by
| the last National Republican Convention" Why
then is not Mr.. Greeley still with the party ?
Simply because he has "croOked the pregnant
| hinges of his knee before the Democratic idol,
/ and expects thrift will follow fawning." We
have no doubt he is mistaken in his calculations.
| To. nf
| September last, land on these principles and
/ this record, with the ticket" chosen at Phila-
/ dephiA, appeal to all friends of honest govern
ment, Of whatever previous party association,
/ for aid in the triumphant victory we unitedly
pledge ourselves to win"
THE TRBUNR's DENIAL OF THE dREELLy-KIN-
| sELLA ALLIANCE.
from the N. Y. World.l
In spite of the, subterfugng denials it is con,
fesSed that Mr.. KinHella did have an in ervieN
| with the editor of the Tribune subsequent tC
his nomination; and, OF course in consequence
Of the nomination that being the only probable
explanation Of his seeking an editor with whom
he had never before spoken 1t is a fact that
since that interview the Tribune has forebornt
the persistent assaults on the Brooklyn ring
which had been leading feature of the paper
for the preceding two months. II is confessed
by the Tribune itself, that il sent reporter t
Hampstead on the Sth OF May to investigate
Brooklyn frauds and that it forbore to publist
the facts, in compliment to the Brooklyn Eagle
which, it says, had published them befOrel 1hi'
ia most extraordinary Is the Eagle taken by
all the IribuneS subscribers? Did the Iribtui
ever republish the fects from the Eagle? Ii
the Tribune so unobserying or 80 imprOvident
as to send reporters to find out things which
have been fully stated in neighbOring journal;
II it had seen those facts in the Eagle, anC
deemed the Eagles exposure sufficient, as /
now asserts. why did it waste expense and la
Dor in gathering facts for the idle purpose o.
suppressing them? These sef-stultfying pre-
tences and subterfuge won't wash
