From the Wilmington Stsr.l
We hoist to-day the National Reform ban
ner, with Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown as our standard-bearers
From the Wilmington J~ourRal.l
The policy of the South at the present
moment should be passiVe-"a mastery in
activity" We cannot, of course, secure the
nomination of such men as we would prefer.
We have had no part or lot In the present
nominations and are In no manner responsible
for.it. Let us consider the matter calmly and
leisurely, and cast our influence and votes
as future events will prove to be best for
our own interest.
Tone OF the Maryland Press.
From the Baltimore SUM-
What will be the disposition of Democrats
generally towards Mr.. Greeley remains to be
seen. However they may regard him, 1t is
universally conceded that Mr.. Greeley Is an
hocest man, q man of independence and
courage, and that he is aotuated by q genuine
spirit of Cancellation and peace. The South
will support him beyond Q doubt, as well as
Mr.. Brown, whose liberal course in Missouri
makes him q true representative of the policy
there adopted, and seems to have been recog.
nized as such by the convention, when, after
his name was withdrawn from the list OF can
dldates for the Presidency, II was put on the
next ballot on The ticket for vlce.Presidency.
The platform of principles adopted b.. the con-
~'ventlon meets the occasion.
From the Baltimore Gaz .tte-nercely Demo
cratic.l
It ls useless to waste words at such q crisis,
or attempt to excite hopes which can never be
realized. The. selection of Mr.. Greeley
places an impossible barrier between the
Liberal Republicans and the Conservative
masses of the country. he can never re-
ceive the support of the Democratic party,
or any respectable number of Its members.
The men, or clique, In our ranks who would
fooIishly endeaVor to bring about such q
consummatlon, would be crushed to atoms.
column will move on unbroken. Its
organization, once threatened with dis
memberment, will now be stronger than ever.
There will be no falLering-no backward
steps. In the Wild chaos that exists In the
Radical ranks, the election OF the Democratic
candidates for President aud Vice.President
is as certain as the coming OF election day, If
the Democratic National Convention only e3-
erclses In its deliberations an ordinary degree
of wisdom and discretion. The day for. en-
tangling alliances has past, aud happily for
the party aud The country, there L. but one
path left for the Democracy TO tread, and that
Is, adhesion to Its vi principles, and the
selection of wise, pure ahd honest statesmen
as Its candidates.
Tone OF the Alabama Press.
From the Montgomery Adverriser.r
The resolutions will be received with very
general favor by the Conservative elements
of the country. The ticket is certainly q
strong one and will command the en-
rh,,i,ottA a.nnnrt nf q lorro uopffnn NJ
the hitherto Republican party. Should the
National Democratic Convention resolve
to support these candidates and the priu-
clples of their proclaimed political creed,
1t will be chosen by al overwhelming majority
of electoral votes. As we have before said
the question will hot be the defeat of Grant,
but only the majority, by which he will be
defeated.
Tone Of the Virginia Press.
From the Richmond DIspatch.l
. Mr.. Greeley Is an extraordinary man. He
has had his crotchets and peculisrilies, but his
honesty and real beneVolence make up q mau-
tie broad enough to cover his faults, however
many they may be. He has assurely exhibited
votion to country. No nan has lsbored harder
since the war TO restore peace, equality, and
good feeling amongst the people and sections.
The old white hat and oVercoat may become
emblems of hls better part that will excite
enthusiasm everywhere, and rally an army
that Will sweep the present incumbents from
the offices they have abused 30 grossly for the
qualification of passion and avarice.
Should the Democratic party nominate q
ticket, the result would be either to reunlte
the Republican party by the withdrawal OF
the Liberal ticket or to defeat that ticket and
prolong the dominion Of the men under
whose administration OF the government we
have suffered 80 greatly aud the constitution
has been 80 often violated. We can hardly
think it possible that a step go Idle, 80 GER
tain to end in disaster, will be taken. It
would be the snpremest folly.
Therefore, although the ticket is not ours,
with q smile at the singularity of the sItua-
ton, let us take honest old Horace and the
gallant defender of Liberalism from Mis-
we shall feel that we have done admirably
well In escaping the prolonged misrule OF
ultra-Republicanism.
From lhe,Richmond Enqulrer.1
The Cincinnati Convention has done It's
work we'll. 1t has presented the very strong
est ticket to the country that could have been
| selected, This Is the opinion of all with whom
| we have conversed upon the subject. II ex-
cited not a little enthusiasm when announced
UPON our streets yesterday, and We met but
few who would not willingly entrust the destl-
niles of the republic to sucn keeping. Inc pat
form adopted by the convention, too, is q very
| good one, and nobody will find any difficulty
IL standing square upon it,; As 'lookers on
in Vienna" We may be permitted to express an
impartial opinion that Grant will discover
| this to be the hardest wall he.has ever butted
bis bullet-head against. Greeley and Brown
are both acceptable to the people OF the
South.
$500 from the Petersburg Index.l
The action of the convention YVES wise. It
meets most OF the conditions; lis candidates
are strong In the North and Northwest; both
| of them have been identified with all that has
been good In the Republican party; both are
men who excite great personal enthusiasm;
both come before us as consistent and bold
advocates of amnesty aud of constitutional
rule; both declared open opposition to mill.
tary rings and governmental corruption. If
the Democratic party ls wise, Its candidate Is
| nominated. If it Ia d determined, its victory Is
assured.
