FROM Hae IutSOtfFg kfQ.l Post.
The Cincinnati convention having rendered a
coalition of all the clements of opposition TO
corruption impossible, must now work out its
own salvation as best it can. The path of duty
is plain before the eyes of the democracy-they
will nominate good and true men, and accom-
plish for themselves what might have been
Jointly accomplished by the democracy and the
| liberal republcans-the overthrow of the Grant
| dynasty of corruption and usurpatiOn.
From the Louisville (RQ.) Ledger.
In Gen. Hancock, as the democratic candidate
| for the presidency, we would have candidate
combining the precise qualities required for sue
cess. The soldier of brilliant record, the patriot
who recognizes the subordination of military to
| civil authority, the democratic citizen whose life
| has been devoted TO the service of his country,
whose personal character and reputation are in
| vulnerable 10 reproach With such a leader we
| should have the best possible assurance of sue
cess We say, therefore, let us nominate Gen.
| Winfield S. Hancock as the democratic candi-
date for president in November, 1872.
From the Bridgeport Coma Farmer
The duty of the democracy is now plain. No
democrat has the right to that name who does
not now stand to his colors and follow the plain
path marked out before him. The democratic
national committee will hold meeting on the
Sth inst, to call the convention of the party
| probably at st. Louis, on the 4th of July To
that convention should 90 up the best and ablest
of our democratic leaders and statesmen as
| members and for consultation. Let that con-
yention meet the stu alton with the firmness
| and wisdom demanded by the perils which
menace the great principle of unpopular gov
ernment, enunclate sound Jefferson platform
and nominate two Of our best democratic states
men, and the democratic masses will rally
around them with an enthusiasm which will be
irresistible.
From The Lancaster (Pa.) MteHigencer.
Had the leaders of the Cincinnati convention
desired to effect union with the democratic
party they would have acted differently The
democracy might have been rallied for Charles
Francis Adams, but they could not be induced
to yield to Horace Greeley a united support.
The democratic national committee, which as
sembles on the Sth instant will arrange for an
early meeting of the democratic national con-
vention, and that convention will no doubt
name democratic statesmen for the offices of
president and yice-president candidates who will
be worthy TO receive the support of every Amer
lean citizen.
From the Nelgdrk (N J.) Journal.
1t is idle to waste words on what "might have
been" but we cannot help thinking that had the
convention risen to the generosity of selecting
one of their nominees from the ranks of the
| democracy their ticket would have had better
| chance of being supported by the democracy
than seems likely Just now. Especially are we
inclined to this view, forasmuch as the platform
| adopted is one upon which any intelligent DEM
| ocrat might safely trust himself at this period
in our political history As il is, the democratic
uallOndl convention Will D6 lelu, Dul as IOf lIS
| endorsement of the twins of Cincinnati, much
as they may be respected in the democratic par
ty for many excellent reasons, the prospects are
anything but propitous.
From, the Boston Times.
The democratic party, which lay dormant
under the overshadowing prospects of the Gin
cinnati convention, has suddenly sprung into
life, and should it nominate strong ticket COM
| posed of men free from all tant or suspicion of
| disloyalty, upon platform which accepts the
| past and looks TO the future for advancement
and improvement the prospects of both Mr..
| Greeley and the Philadelphia nominee will be
| rendered very uncertain. Ii the managers of
the democratic party are wise they will meet in
| convention as soon as possible and put forward
| a ticket that will prove acceptable both to demo-
| Gratis and liberal republicans.
From the Savannah (Td.) NelCS.
| 1t only remains for the democratic party to
| promptly organize its forces and enter vigorous
| " and confidently into the canvass. Let the ma.
| tional executive committee lose no time in call.
| ing the nominating convention. Let the dis
trict conventions be held at an early day, and
| trusty delegates, such rs shall represent the
sentiments and principles of the true democracy
of the country, be selected to place candidates
in nomination upon a platform of principles
that Shall command the confidence and Jealous
support of the true men of all sections of the
UnOn and a glorious and lasting victory is
within their certain grasp.
