not to US. We can't be present to

smackinga little too much of political

Spircd thi, Liberal movement and pro-
duccd the convention.
The Boaacr said this on Saturday.
On the following day it hoistcd the
names of Greeley and Brown to the
head Of is columns for President and
Vice President.
The Nashville TOjon and Amcricon,
Old line Democrat, talks with cautious
good sense, closing its article thus -
We have spoken exclusively Of the IA
vorablc points in the estimation Of thi,
ticket. Its election depends solely upon
the action Of the Democracy. Whatever
they shall conclude is best to be done
for the highest interest Of the country
will be done chccrlully. They willprc-
serve their organization intact and act
as body. With the lights before us we
do not doubt that when in National
Convention assembled they will take
such action as will lead to the defeat OF
Grant aud the election OF the ticket pre-.

From Alabama.

The IdraHcc, Montgomery. Demo
cratic, speaks out with 10 uncertain
sound. 1t says:
Greeley will sweep the Southern
and Eastern States. and Brown, the
giant Of the West, the first 70 throttle
radicalism in Missouri. will awaken an
enthusiasm in the prairirs OF Illinois
and throughout the Western States. that
will sweep everything before it. like Il
prairie on fire. The sycophants who
have been licking Grants boots for the
few crumbs he saw fit to dispense. are
trembling and frightened over the re-
suit of this great uprising of the people,
and are alarmed a; the fixed determine
ton of parties TO rid the republic ola
military dcspotism. that has been slow
y, but surely fastening itself upon the
country.
We hope to see all parties who favor
the salvation of the Republic and the
liberties we have all learned to love the
more since we have been deprived of
them; all rally to the nomination of this
Convention.
If Greeley and Brown accept the
nomination and say they will stand on
the platform ofprinciplcs cnunciatad by
the Convention, we will unhcsitatnrlv
give them our support. The platform
is all the South can hope TO get under
any circumstances.
We want Grant defeated. and we
wanted the Cincinnati Convention TO
prove Il success and nominate a candi-
date most likely to beat him. Our lat
ter wish has been gra'iIicd, we only
hope now, that we may realize the
former.
The Montgomery Adccrtiser--Dcmo-
cratic-says:
We think the resolutions will be re-
ceivcd with very general favor by the
Conservative elements of the country.
The ticket is certainly strong one. y
If sound prudence and devotion TO the
country shall, in the opinion of the Con-
vcntion, urge us 10 support Greeley and
Brown. our best cXcrtions may be de.
pended on to secure their election.

INrDn Massachusetts.

The Springfield Hcpublico0, the ablcst
Republican paper of the New England
states, though it preferred Nj. Adams,
says the ticket is a strong one, and adds
The administration should not deceive
itself on this point. Grcclcy's populari-
ty is no myth, he is Is strong with the
observation-disclosures as the cX-slavcs. with
the Irish laborcrs us with the native
born farmers who have never voted Il
Democratic ticket in their lives. He
may be beaten; but those who fancy the
job an easy Onc.will one of these DAYS
see cause to alter thcir opinion. If the
PhiIadclphia people conclude TO under
take this job it hchoovcs them to build
a Htoutcr platform than they are now
thinking OF, and TO find Il stronger man
than Grant TO put on it when built.
The Boston Post, leading Democratic
journal, says:
"Proposing the lofty results with
which the people were everywhere in
sympathy, when il came TO the applica-
ton of its means, it failed miScrably.-
Few persons in their sober senses will
deny that the selection Of Greeley by an
assembly so powerfully equipped with
the popular sympathy, as II candidate
for the Presidency, is a disappointment
for which they were not Prepared
The Boston JoUrndi says:
"Thc general opinion of the Rcpubi-
cans is that Greeley is decidedly the best
nominee whom the Cincinnati Convcn-
ton could have selected for the benefit
OF The Republican pNrly.'

Commerce., Il strictly commercial jour-
nal, takes this view of the situations:
Mr.. Greeley has n following in New
\ Ork strong enough to render the sue
cess of any other Republican candidate
in this State quite hopeless while he
keeps the field ;and if those represented
at Cincinnati cling to his fortunes lie
will turn the scale also in many another
State now rcckoncd as probably Repub-
can. This will place a grave response
bilitv upon the regular Republican Con-
vcntion TO meet in Philadelphia. If the
nomination is then confirmed by that
body. and he is elected, it will throw the
whole patronage Of the general Govern
mcnt into the hands of those who have
heretofore been ina disatlcctcd minori-
ty. IL his claims arc wholly ignored,
and Grant is rcnominated, the running
of two such Republican candidates
would almost certainly bring the Demo-
Gratis once more into power.
