lYou have done me great favor to-
day yAthe greatest haveiever received,
and greater, think, when all the cir
cunlstances are considered, than usu-
ally falls to the lot of public men in
this country. ou have, one and all,
refused to listen to what has been said
to my disadvantage, and you have de-
manded that Lshould remain in your
service. You know me better, than
all the world beside. A close, .obser-
Yation of the lawless and outrageous
conduct Of. the present ADMINISTRATION
and the great and increasing disgust
in the public mind, long ago convinced
me that an easy opportunity would be
presented this year for the Democratic
party, by presenting, one of its ab1est
and purest men for the Presidency, to
regain control of the government and
re-establish civil liberty and equality
in the burdens as well as the blessings
of the republic. I gave honest Re
pubiicans the same credit which they
now give us, in believing that they
would sufficiently rise above psftyto
vote against a corrupt administration
without regard to the company in
which they performed SO noble an act.
I still believe, they would have. done
so, and, that any one of four or five
Democratic, statesmen who. might be
named, eminent tor ability and purity
efscharacter, could have been elected
to the Presidency over the present
very unpopular incumbent. Enter
tanning this opinion, with the force of
an absolute conviction, ]. made an ear
nest effort to have it prevail in the
minds of others. In view of an ap-
proaching National Democratic. Con-
vention, / exercised my right as a
member of this Democratic party in
pointing out what thought its action
ought to be. This is a right for which
I am beholden to no one. I have no
apologies to make for having exer-
cised il as T did. .aoiusdsq - 81 &

Z The influence of my words, if they
had any, was directed to the Baltimore
Convention, and not beyond the action
of that body. They must stand as
my sincere utterances in behalf of an
object over which that body had legit-
innate authority and ultimate control.
But z will doubtless be reminded that
my views were not adopted at Balti-
more, and that my opinions were dis
regarded. All this is true, and / do
not pretend to disguise my deep re-
gret. oI would gladly have it other
wise, and l have given the subject as
careful and conscientious an examina-
tion, in order to ascertain the true
path of duty, as it has been in my
power to make. If / could at this
point abandon public station, consist
entity with my obligations to my party
my friends and the duties / owe as
citizen to my country, the path before
me would be easy and smooth. Your
action alone, however, here to-day,
under all the circumstances of the
past and present, impels me to accept
your nomination and make one more
campaign with you, and for that pur-
pose we must look the present and
future coolly and resolutely in the
face. In the light of the recent result

Tho day after the nomination Of Mr..
Greeley at Cincinnati, the Chicago
Tribune said:
s"The worst thing that can be said of
Mr.. Greeley is, that he generally has q
few worthless dead-beats hanging
around him, foraging on his cash and
good nature, impairing his good repu.
tation among those whose good opin.
ion he ought to possess, The same
journal now says of him: "He Is d
man Of personal honesty, and will moi
knowingly tolerate dishonesty in any
any subordinate" What is Mr.. Gree.
ley to do with the 'sdcad-beats' who
who are generally hanging around him
preying on his cash and his good ma
ture? If they have succeeded in prey
ing ON Mr.. Greeley's personal cash,
what ia to prevent them from proving
on the cash in the treasury, when the
philosopher gets into power? If they
have succeeded in sfora&lng on his
good nature" as man, what is to pre-
vent them from doing the same by his
tsg0od nature" as President? And II
the "dead.beats" begin to prey on the
Presidential cash and good nature, the
day after Greeley is inaugurated, how
much cash will be left in the treasury
Ut the end Of his first term, and how
much ''good nature" will the hero Of
Chlppxqua have LETT to take back to
his farm? These are questions we
commend to the careful consideration
of people who pay taxes, and people
who desire that the sweetness Of Mr..
Greeley's temper shall be preserved
forthe delectation Of mankind through
the columns Of the New York Isri6-
unc-lnter Ocean.

The Dcs. Moines Republican OF the
18th inst, published the names Of the
republican State Central Committee al
the request Of the Clinton Herald with
one very important omission to-wit
the name Of A. Fl. Hamilton, Of the
COURIER. We don't like to be alto.
gether forgotten, Mr.. Republican, and
not be accredited with our full share Of
honors, and hope yon will make the
0naende honorable. As member OF
the committee, wc know the opinions
Of a portion Of them as to the. time Of
calling the Convention.
Those who were in favor of an early
Convention, were J. 8. Hur-
ley, Of Wapello, Louisa Co., n. S.
Winslow, Of Newton, Jasper county,
and A. H. Hamilton, Of Wapello Co.
We now know that some of the rest of
the committee incline to call the Con.
vention in July, but not enough per
haps to make majority. We know
further that one Of them declines to act
OH the committee for reasons he may
make public if he desires, and this
leaves the committee numbering but
ten. Wenow believe that the commit
tee stands very nearly evenly divided
on the question as to whether the Con-
vention shall be put Off till the last OF
August or the first of September or be
called in Jnly. We sincerely hope the
July men may prevail.

Last summer, Horace Greeley wrote
q letter--a very funny letter indeed
to Frank Blair. and printed it in the
1Tibuae over his own name. Among
the humorous passages we find the
following: 4
"Yon would like to be the next can
didate of tho rebels and pro-rebels for
President; and for reasons which
nOwise flatter You, wish success to that
aspiration; SO crafty your desire
for a controversy. Nay more, assure
your new friends that, in spite Of past
oscillations, they may trust you 80 long
as they shall take care not to thw0rt
your ambition. You never thought Of
leaving the Republicans till you sought
the Speakership at their hands and
were denied It; and You win be equal
~ true to your present confederates
until they in turn shall refuse you
something on which you shall have set
yonr heart. General, long ago
learned that principles were inconvc-
nient, and that he who makes his own
agrandizement his aim must wear them
loosely or put them aside altogether.
/ doubt that you would ever have at
tanned your present dizzy elevation
had You permitted yourself to be en-
numbered with them. But am old
fashioned and cannot change my camp
or my flag with your admired facili-
ty."
Never did the writer describe him
self OF six months later more vigor.
ously OF more piqnantly. Horace has
seldom written wittier thing. Not
even his signature to JEFF. Davis's
bond was more to the point.
