AS the Hon. Horace. Greeley has been nomi-
'lated by the Cincinnati Contention for Presi-
dent OF the United States, wish to make
three propositions: First, | will bet 5000
lie will curry the State of New York: second
! Will bet $4,000 be will carry the State OF
Pennsylvania; third, | will bet S., 900 he is
elected President of the United States, pro-
vidmg that the Democratic party make no
nomination one-half the amount (S7 .5OO) to
be put up when the bet is taken, the balance
$4,000 to be put up thirty days before the
election. Above propositions open for ten
days. ,JonN Mopp,sSrv
GREELEY AMONG THE New YORK DEMO
cRATs,-Ilc Democrats are much better re-
presented by the provincial than the metro
nolitan press: The World docs not speak
Tor them; nor is 1t ever safe to look to that
Sieet for authoritative report or counsel.
Very many of thc strongest THEN. here are
aiready out i'll favor Of the ticket, and we
belieVc the National Convention will indorse
1t, either cordially or indirectly. Wcslould
prefer hearty and manly Endorsement, but
II may seem wiser policy simply to refrain
from a nomination. On this point the coun-
sells are divided, but we hope for union OF
hearts and hands before the meeting of the
Convcntlon.-Nc,o York Star.
The same paper SAYS in another article:
The fact is that Mr.. Bclmont's moneyed
interests are so Numerically opposed to his
poHtlcSl pretenslons that he is forced to sup
port paper nominally partisan, which will
ut the critical moment obey his mcancst be-
hest, and convey, i'll the very heat Of battle,
the idea that its friends are dishcarfened and
the conflict abandoned. The little game
worked well once, but repetition is danger
ours and expensive. The World don't like
the nominations of Cincinnati, and it would
be safe to wager that it never would like
any nomination which babe fair to defeat the
Republican policy, and thereby upset the
inside arrangements by which Belmont and
his correspondents make fortunes every
year. The SIN and Star speak to more
readers daily than the Herald, Times, and
| World combined. The Suh, Log ago,
pledged itself to the support of Greeley il
he were nominated. and it rcdeenls its prom
isc with characteristic energy.

From the Broollyn q. " Eagle
The first desire of the Democracy is to
change the administration of the Govern
mrnt. because it is carrying out Il policy i'll
direct antaSonism to every principle ever con
tended fer by the Democratic party. What
ever may be said against Mr.. Grcclcy's nomi
nation. it gives the Democratic party the
power to change the Administration, to ST.
cure the ascrndency of great principles Of
government for which the Democracy have
always coutendcd, and to obtain for thcil
country, ut all events, pure adminiStra
t.an of its affairs To-day responsibility

tiation rests with the Democratic purity
And to-day Grant is beaten. There
is no chance OF his election il the Demo
.racy support the Cincinnati nomince. ant
1--we up to the pledges Of Democratic repre-
ssntativcs in Congress, some Of whom W.
know feel in honor bound to sustain hin
within their party. There seems to be, OF
the part of Democratic journals, a slayisl
anxiety to refer to the National Committee
. question which they should determine them
selves. This much is certain, if the Demo
, Gratis name Il third candidate, every Gran
organ in the country will applaud this dccis
ion, and if this is the approval the Demo
cratic National Convention covet, the way t.
secure it Is open to it, but the path to victor.

From tile Augusta (Ga.) Constitution.
Among the Democrats the predominant
sentiment seems to be that as between Gran

preferable. But there arc a thousand rc:l
sons why Horace Greeley would he distastc

Siblc that they can feel any pleasure in hi
nomination, or contemplate his possible cleo
ton except us an evil of less magnitud

Able, honest and generous. Mr.. Creole,
commands the respect of all parties, and i
entitled especially to the gratitude of th
people of the South. The Convention Nigh

done much better. 1t only remains now t.
be seen to what extent the people of tn
North will respond to the Cincinnati move

From the Louisville n.y. Couricr.Jourual.
We are inclined to think that the De
mocracy will adoptit, but the situation is no
of that positive kind to render our actor
perfectly clear in advance. We commit TIL
question, therefore, to those whose bushes

For ourselves we can say that we regard Mr.
Greeley with feelings of personal Kindness
bordering on affection, and with entire re
