THE LETTER ADAPTED TO THE FEELINGS AND
TEMPER OF THE COUNTRY.
The spirit of the letter Is admirable, anu
admirably adapted TO the present feelings ana temper o
nhsc ecsretion En- favor Of casting behind the wreck
and rubbish Of worn OUT continuous, anu py.kVVno
inc moioy Of the American people We early expressed
tie opinion, that the nomination OF Horace OIeetey
coud have been made al Cincinnati. The three weeks
that have passed the adjournment OF the ConVgn
itsnot so much question whether Mr. Greeley Will
take of considerable fraction Of the Republican party
OF the states and in several OF them carry WIN
him the larger part His able and adrOlt etter Will aou
imneasurably to his great natural strength.
NEAT AND CREDITABLE CAMPAIGN LITERATURE
Prom TIE Chicago Times. { llafi0Ltlsy)
Horace Greeley has issued his letter accept
Ing the nomination OF the Liberal Republican Conven'
ton aud it will be found I'm another column OF tbS issue
Mir Greeley explains that this delay was due to hs de-
re 10 learn how the ctOn of the Convention would De
received by the people and then modesty atrDueS Tue
respOnse which he assumes to have been highly faVOr
able TO the excellence Of the platform Then he pro-
ee 10 rccapulate the several resolutions as be under
stands then which task he performs with all the SKIN
thar might be expected OF so experienced politician.
la dspOsiug OF the Tariff plank, he ngenlousy promises
that he will not veto any act Of Congress this subject
nratep In any way TO influence its policy Altogether
willie te production does add any phase 10 the
situation, very neat and creditabe piece OF cam
paign literature.
NOT TO BE EPITOMIZED.
The H0rosser Spy. .
Mr. GIeeley's acceptance OF the Clnclnnatl
nomination will no doubt be sharply criticised. His
"opitOne OF the platform reminds MS OF Macaulay
remark upOn the effort of ambitious rheotcian To
riakc an improved version OF the book OF common
prayer. His comment was, nearly as we remember ~
Thai whatever might be thought of this gentleman
ail,y make better version, no one could doubt his
CauacifV O make longer
