WASHINGTON. Thursday. May o. 1871.
Among the Democratic members of Congress who
will support the Cincinnati Presidential ticket is the
Hon. James Brooks of New-York. In the course Of
conversation, to-day, he said that. in bis opinion,
Mr. Greeley will receive in the Democratic National
Convention, the votes of three-fourths of the New
England delegates, all of those from NcwYork. Il
greater part of those from New-Jersey and Pennsyl
vania. several from Ohio and Indiana. the entire
delegations from Illinois and Michigan, a part
of those from Wisconsin, all from Minnesota.
Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon. California. Kentucky,
and Tennessee, and all of the remainder Of tho
South except portion Of those from Georgia lie
thinks that more than three-fourths of the Conven-
tion will go to Baltimore intending TO indorse the
Cincinnati movement, though he expects this course
to be warmly opposed by delegates from Ohio. In
diana and Georgia, but only by gentlemen whose
views are generally extreme. There may be, he
thinks, rupture in the Convention, but its iniu-
ence will only strengthen Mr.. Greeley among the
Republicans.
Gen. Slocum received, yesterday, letter froms
leading Democratic member of the New-York Legis
ture who writes that after careful inquiry and in
terviews with great many of his political friends
at Albany he had not been able TO find single Dem
ocrat who was not in favor of supporting the Greeley
ticket.
