THE SYMPATHY OF JHE REPUB-
LICANS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
PATTY.

the conservatives at Cincinnati, one OF
the causes of cenSure against
them has been the effect, that they
have tried to produce upon the future
Of that great, and good, and patriotic
marty. What is 10 become oft? Where
Is it to goe What is to be its future?
There is a necessity for two great par
ties in this country. Each n Is nee
essary to keepthe other in check; and
if, perchance, the Republican party
should happen to get up a habit OF
picking and stealing, or of appoint
ing bad men to office, the Democratic
party is necessary to notify and +
them of their error, and bring them
back to the practices of truth and hon-
esty.
But.by the nomination clone of their
old friends, a man whom they have
sworn by, for almost half a century,
and who, until Yesterday, has been the
political god of their worship. heir
fear is aroused, that the Democratic.
party will come to loss; and, in order
TO save it. they denounce MIR. Greeley,
and all those friends CT theirs, who are
trying to elevate him to a high Office.
because. bv so doing,.the balance of
power i'll America will be destroyed,
and the Republican party, under the
lead OF its victorious statesman, VIII
be able to go on in uniratnmelied IL
cess. WEata marvellous love for De
mocracy does their conduct exhibit!
Their sympathy seems to be appre
ciated by a very few Of the Democrats
the mass of them do not tremble al
lire result; but some of them-such
men as the Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees,,
whom they used to call "Itan. Noor-
hees,''O the World, and the Times
fChicago) partake with them in their
apprehension. We suppose, that, with
such a regarti for the Democracy, they
have been willing to pay something III
The way of charity. We do not believe
that such lifelong Democrats would

position to their old friends, without

therefor. We see it announced, that
efforts are being made to induce other
Democrats to join in this attempt, to
make a Democratic nomination at Bal

ganize, and reconstruct itself, and to
act as a guard fer the protection Of the
country, against the possible misdeeds
of their Republican friends!
Now We advise u Republican
friends, that their sympathy IS all
thrown away! We know TIE history
of Mr.. Greeley. We have the indorSe
Inents of the Republican party, that he
has always been All honest man! Dur
ing the session of Congress, which has
Just closed, be has been referred to,
not only as an honest a but as one,
whose opinions are entitled to the CON
idence of the country, and hat too,
by leading Republicans of the Senate
and House. We have known. him
ourselves, as a leading Republican
politician-and, however we may have
differed from him en- political subjects,
we have never heard any impeach-
ment of his honesty
We come to the consideration of the
question, then, under these circum-
stances. We have presented to US, a
general officer, who, a. a mere military
aian, is far from being a suitable char
acter, in conduct and habits, to com
mand our confidence, and who con.
fessedly is ignorant of the first notions
of craftsmanship. His conduct i'll

On the other hand, We have An hon.
est man! An able man! We have
broad and comprehensive platform
against which nothing has been, or car

Horace Greeley. He i fully commit
