OFF FOR BALTIMORE.
A portion Of the delegates from WesI
Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississipl
will leave to-day for Baltimore. We
presume a nomination will not be made
before Wednesday next, snd it is not
difficult TO fo1etel who will be the NOM
inee. More than twO-thirds of the dele
gates have been instructed to vote f0T
Horace Greeley, and it Is evident he
will be nominated on the first ballot.
One thing Is certain, Radicalism cannot
be defeated unless there be a cordial and
earnest cooperation Of the Cincinnati
and Baltimore Conventions. There
is no other way in which the ex-
treme Radical party can be de
feated. Ii must be by the concert of
action Of Democrats and Liberal Repub-
licans, or not at all. Neither is strong
enough by itself. This may be regarded
a. a ~selferident proposition. Unless
this cooperation is obtained the contest
is fruitless. 1t is already decid-
ed. The moment, therefore, that this
truth is conceded, it is Of very little
difference how that cooperation is Sc
cured, whether by a formal nomination
Of the candidates at Cincinnati, OF the
recommendation Of their support. All
that is required is that this should be
earnest and in good faith. These are
matters Of mere expedieneE, anda which
can only be wisely determined by the
lights which win surround at the time
OF the session Of the Demoeradc Con-
ventiOn. The South requires redemp-
ton. On this point its Democracy is q .
unit; its voice must be heard and made
potent in the convention. This de
nsuds that for the common welfare. |
and in view Of the peculiar
isis which impends, there shall
accord and unity between the
lOcratie and Liberal Republican par
50 that another four ytaH Of misrule
wrong may be averted, and there
be a return TO some degree Of con-
".Hs-AANAAaA 6ohCA AAAAACAALF AAllNCL WHICH We ]
may live, and which we may transmit
those who are to come after Us. The
south wants peace, and the Northern
democracy must not consult what viii
.ive them strength al home, but what
viii free the South. II was the unwise
councils of the Northern Democracy
that defeated US in 1865, and entailed
1pon the South four years Of d~isasterand
oppression. The fatal policy Of the past
cannot again be permitted. Against it
there should be a calm but solid and I'M
oxen front. Ex-senator Allen, OF
ohio, who represented the State as a
Democrat twelve years in the United
states Senate, says: "The condition Of
the South should especially appeal to the
democracy Of the North to forego some
Of their p~rejudiees, with no hope of eject
ing q straight Democratic candidate; by
attempting it we only turn over the 4,
Southern States TO another fOur years {
time Of the rule Of rogues aud i~rrespon- 4,
sIble and despotic military squads.
Greeley, if elected, as he surely will be
Il Endorsed by the Democracy, could and
Eould accomplish this disenthraIment 1
letter than could a straight Democrat
or, with a large portion Of the old Re
publican party behind him, he would be {
ale TO do what a strict Democrat
~Ould find it impossible to do" Four Z
more years under Grant viii enguIph us
ruin. The rapid TENDENCIES now to- I
ward contradiction admonish us that a {
lease OF power viii accomplish it,
lnd the one proud fabric of cOnstitu-
ional government will topple down, the I
viii govern the ballot, and the |
lights Of States be gone forever. To avert +
his probable event, all good men should @
hands, and tear away the ana 4
'Onda whose coil is fast gathering around 7
Is. The approaching election will de- il
ide these mOmentOus issues, and it will /,
'e well for Us 10 look these dangers in 4
he face, and prepare L avert them. ;
question for Democrats to con-
ider at Baltimore is, what viii we
.O-what car we do TO defeat Grant,
he South in her oppressed and helpless q
OnditiOn cannot afford TO be arrogant '
nd dictatOTial. If We cannot leap at a Z
Ound to what we desire, let US secure
is for the best by gradual APP
reaches. With the history of the last Il
w years, we can't expect a sudden .
evolution, especially when we of the :
Outh are in the front Of the battle. How
lsane, then, it is TO commence this
ar upon an ally-forso Greeley Island ia
as he may be; and how suicidal in
le policy of rejecting him if nominated 81
accepted by our friends at Balti-
ore? Others may say that
is no choice between them,
1t the good Of every man will
il him that Greeley, with his declared
-neiples and 50ih his surroundings. is
.fnitely to be preferred to Grant. II l.,
.e Baltimore Convention perform its rs
lries wisely, harmOniously, patriots tn
'ughout the Union will feel like mar Ia
who have suddenly and u~nex2ect- 81
svoidedt the dreadful breakers which oc
tened to eDgulf their bark, and Ill
j themselves OF a smooth sea, with OF
wind and a clear sky. M
