Oregon Republican. [volume] (Dallas, Or.) 1870-1872, 1872-06-22

The Philadelphia Press, one of the
leading papers Of Pennsylvania. which
has been charged with iavoring the
Cincinnati move, speaks iu the follow
ing forcibIe language tf the movement
in that State, and the PROSPECTS of Mr.
Greeley. This showing, which we be-
lieve to be truthful one, does not pre-
sent the prospects as very fattering;
Out of one hundred and sixty-two
weekly Republican papers, published in
Pennsylvania, aud received at this Of
fee, oniv five advocate the election Of
Greeley and Brown These are the
Beaver Aryus, Crawford Journal,
Downingtown Journal, Tunkhannock
Republican and Hazelton .SeatiaeL
There are, perhaps, score OF others
that demand tair play for Mr.. Greeley,
and vindieate him from the aspertions
aud calumnies OF the incorporate friends
OF the President, and which await the
action Of the National Convention or the
development Of affairs before taking
strong or pronounced ground. 4 few
othN's aaC WAfthtuEg 1bA Ca press uD
opinions, but the great body of the Re
publican press, aud nearly all of the in.
fluential journals fly the Grant banner
or are wholly committed TO his re>nom-
lnatlon.
OF the Democratic papers, we have
seen but one that hoi>ts the Greeley
and Brown standard Four -tifths Of the
weeklies, following the lead Of the Phil
adelphia Age and Pittsburgh Post, IA
vor the nomination of straight out
candidate at Baltimore, and very nearly
all urge this action upon the party. The
great ma Jorlty, thongh, recognize the
National Convention as the re presenta-
tive body and mouth-piece OF the or
ganlzatlon, and Indicate that they will
bow to it's decree, however renuenant.
But the rural Democrats of Penns Viva.
MIA are eminenily traditional, and the
York, Berks, Centre and other strong
Democratic county organs theaten to
bolt before swallowing the Greeley pill
Defeat before dishonor" is n favorite
maxlth with majority of these jour-
nails, many Of which to this day deny
the binding force of the fifteenth
amendment.
From these evidences it will be seen
the Greeley ticket at least by ordinary
signs, has no strength ia this State
Felther party has to any extent been
affected by the liberal movement, and
that grand era OF disintegration, which
we hear has set in elsewhere, has not
dawncd here
The Republicans arc as united and
harmonious on the question of the Pres
idency as at any period in their history
and the Democratic lines remain firm
and unbroken. The only way by which
Mr.. Greeley can secure any party at all
is his nomination at Baltimore, and even
then the support will not be hearty. As
few OF the Democratic journa ais put it,
they might vote for him as " a choice
ofevis,' but they would not do it united
ly, and their enthusiasm would be as
forced and unnatural as q boys whistle
at midnight in buryipg ground"

Abiding to the Presidents letter,
read at the civil rights meeting in
Washington, Fred, Douglass says in
the The New National Era ave en-
tirely misapprehend the character of the
colored citizens, North and South, if
they do not accept this letter as the
fullest assurance that SO far as Grant is
concerned, they are certain to have their
just and equal rights, whenever those
rights can be securrd to them by law.
Abraham Lincoln said and did many
good things while he was Presiden OF
the United States, but nothing like
this letter ever came even from him
