MR. EDITOR -SIR:-Msny D.mocratic m.
pers are advocating the nomnafjon ~ H.
ace greeley as the Democratic candidate Snr
UMe ie L,resaehcy, and tho endorsement of the
CINCINNATI platform. Why is it soo What has
titeeIry done to make himself ponular wti,
,ne Drmocratlc party, and to he placed in the
".R.tst POSITION IN the party. No man can
say that we have not men Of sufficient sx.cm.

rcIesldeht, while We have such mnr a. ind ,es

HOSTS BROTHER good, true and tried D.mocrat.
Wh'ch have changed their principles Mr.
1tss!ey on thr Democ atic party For IL the
party must endorse tho Cncnn I'll platform
must come to the cone usion that it Is tn.
Deniocratic party that has changed. for
Willie, Tmne Ii tue l. gisiature in 1869 when the
oGLoAious amendments were b fore us for
adoption there waSa unanimous Democratic

only OF above amendments, hut all other

SION OF the hdb'os cor Gus? if 50 has he given
us any evidence that he has changed his
"pin0ns? If not how can we as Dem Gratis
wnnout changing our opinions support such
man: cannot see that have any reason to
change therefore shall not given him INV sup
port even II nominated at Baltimore.
1t does look to me that we have men in our
party who call themselves Democrats. who
have beer 40 long outside of the National
crib that they are willing to do anything for
the purpose Of getting in. They seem to be
AFRAID If they have to wait much longer tina.
the present party in power will have stolen
every thing, and that there will be nothing
left should the Democratic party get into
power. To all such / would say wait for as
long as We have so many millions of m.n
working to produce wealth, to feed all such
drnnes there will always be a chance for them
to have something to steal when they feel doing
1t, and men will sacrifice principles for the like
purpose OF getting place and power will be
always ready to embrace every opportunity
That offers such. Can such men be honest !,
II not are they such as should be placed in
III power, and if in power would they be any
better guardians of the liberties Of the Amer
can people than the present party in power:
/ am not Yet ready a many DAm scrats are
to vote for Greeley or anything to beat
Irant. cannot SEE anything to be gained
Oy such course, yet am always ready to dc
all that possibly can eor an honest and
straight Democratic party. WM. DEAN

THE RESULT At CINCINNATI,
Ex-Seoretary Gideon Weiies on the
Political situation,

ST. LOUIS, July 4 -Ex. secretary of the
Navy, Gideon Welles, has written a letter to
friend in this city which is published 10 the
Times this m Drning, the main points OF which
are as follows
We were good deal disappointed with the
result at Cincinnati. 1t would have been diff.
cult to have found more disagreeable, objec-
tionable candidate to three -iaurths Of the men
whomust vote for him, if he is TO be elected
than Horace Greeley. But while have for
lifetime been opposed to Greely on most sub.
fecls, think him Infinitely preferable to Grant
The question Ia moi personal one, and ought
not tn be 40 considered. The Republican party
has performed its misSior. Its organization is
kept up and prolonged, not to promote essential
principles not for the inter ests of the country
but subserve the selfish purpose Of few indl-
vlduals who have their own ends to accomplish
Under these circumstances a change Of admin
stration is absolutely necessary. We must get
rid OF Grant, Grantsn, and the hateful pulley
which for several years has been pursued or our
federative system of United States will be en-.
tirely subverted Let The Government become
consolidated and disruption will soon How.
We shall he broken up into sections and war
ring factions. Grant has evidently no compre.
hension of our government system; nor does ne
care much for il. To command and obey are
his ideas Of government. He knows nothing OF
constitutional restraint. The place he occupies
he considers his right-a perquisite he haa
earned. We must get rid of this man and his
evil surroundings. Greeley Ia not the man
would have selected, but his election would be
an advance. an improvement on the present
state of things A crooked stick may be made
available to beat mad dog. 1t is necessary
that we should dls,uiss minor differences
| and concentrate on one candidate. -
II We cannot have our first choice, let us have
the best We can get. II We can elect a new
magistrate we can elect new and better Com
gress, and we shall rescue the Government
fron unconstitutional hands and from military
rule. Some Of the extreme and imp-ac;icabe
free traders, as they call themselves, propose a
new ticket; this, il i, can do anything, will aid
Grant and existing evils. Why talk of free
trade and revenue while the Government itse.
is in per,l7 am for rescuin.' the Government,
and preserving free institutions before
conteHding on mere matters Of expediency.
Grant has not a single qualification for CHEF
magistrate; Greeley has soaie. Grant has some
vulgar cunning and is extremely selfish and
avarcious Greely has intellect and generous
and patriotic instinrts. II he is elected he vii
have new and dilE.rent Congress, and al
| Presidents are more or less influenced by thei
| friends.
