Absolute Domination.

Eet The people see to 1t that no man is
sent ms representative 10 the National Dem
ocratic Convention who does not favor the
endorsement or nomination OF Greeley and
Brown. Vote for no man unless he is pub.
liely pledged TO such policy - Baltimore
Euening JoRgnel.
The EveMing Journal wants the Dem.
ocrals to emulate tire bad example Of
the Radicals. Their Philadelphia Con
veution was packed for Grant. 1t don't
want the Democrats to meet for consul
tation IN Baltimore, as to what is the
best thing to be done, under the circum
stances, both for the country aud the
party. 1t would allow none but Greeley
men TO participate in that Convention.
Is it aware that this is the very best
course to pursue to destroy the harmony
Of the party, aud to cause men Of spirit
and independence to spurn the action
Of the Convention :? We want no such
counsel or policy as this, Cor men are
NOT to be driven, like DUN cattle, at tho
crack of the whip, or at the bidding OF
Hectors. They want full interchange
Of views; a calm, dispassionaie survey
Of the situation; they want harmony
and unity Of action; bat they can have
neither il such tactics are to be resort
ed TO, to pack the Baltimore Couven-
sion and thrust It's nominee down every
INNS throst, win be, nil he.

ImpsriOus,

Gen. Bradley I. johnson has written
letter in which he says 81 he South
will accept Greeley and will not tOler-
ate any separate Democratic nomiua-
ton" A few brief moaths past, the
South was modestly shrinking from any
participation in the Democratic Ma.
tional Convention, whatever but now,
such representatives Of that section as
Gen. Bradley I. johnson, come boldly
TO the front aud say the South will not
tolerate" any course Of action except
such US she shall dictate. We don't
believe this we don't believe that Gen
johnson is the true exponent of South
cru sentiment, or that the South is
prepared to take any such imperious
attitude. Only short time since, we
were assured BY southern Journals aud
southern gentlemen of the highest in.
telligenee, that Gen. Winfield S Han.
cock, Of Pennsylvania, was the great
Magnus Apollo Of that section, whose
orders from the military satrapy of
New Orleans, placing the military sub
ordinate to the civil power, had capt..
waited all southern hearts. We had
reason to believe these representations
TO be true We had them, frlm the
lips Of distinguished citizens OF Georgia,
Mississippi, Florida, and other Southern
States, whom we casually met and con.
versed with, as well as from leading
southern journals. Doubtless they were
true, and it cannot be that the South
has turned from her admiration Of
Geu. Hancock to burning ardor for
Horace Greeley, and will be consoled
by no other. No, no--Geu. johnson
must be in error in making such repre-
sensations as these, and mistakes south
ern sentiment entirely, in supposing it
TO have concentred upon Mr.. Greeley;
ior he tells us, in the same letter, that
he went to Cincinnati $50 as TO be able
TO form an opinion Of the strength Of
the elements Of the opposition" that
the "material of the convention did not
impress him as representing any great
popular sentiment, and he failed to re.
eeive the assurance that it did, from
eng source irhatcrcr." therefore" he
continued, 'the action Of the conven-
ton (neaning the nomination Of Gree
ley,) does not satisfy me ns having the
elements Of strength f.om the ccnyen-
lion itself" "Whateyer force the nom.
jnations acquire" he continues, "must
be from the men named, and not from
the men who named them" To say
that the name Of Horace Greeley is
popular with southern men, is to say,
that, spaniel like they are prepared to
lick the hand that has smitten them
1.-THE name of Greeley is tho only Gle
ment Of strength possessed by the Gin
cinuati ticket, then 10 its strength
cealness, for it is the synonyme of
every i'll which the South has endured.

CHESAPEAKE AND Quo CANAL
The annual meeting of the stock holders
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal was
held at Annapolis on Monday. A. T..
German, Esq, was elected president,
vice JAS. G. Clarke Three of the old
board of directors we're re elected, viz
Geo. S. Brown, Of Baltimore, James G.
Berrett, Of Washington, and Gilmore
Meredith, Of Baltimore. The new di.
rectors chosen we're Greenbury VI Wat
kins, Of Montgomery county, Daniel s.
Biser, Of Frederick, and Michael Ban.
non, Of Anne Arundel county. The
presidents salary was reduced from
$4,000 TO $4,000 per annum. The
Office Of general superintendent was re-
established, salary $4,000, but no one
was elected to fill the place, and the
meeting adjourned till July /. The
finances Of the canal, which had so
greatly improved even before the peri
cd at which the late prosidens came
into office that resumption of payment
on the past due debt had already been
inaugurated, it is gratifying to know
have been maintained. The revenue Of
the canal for the year ending May 81,
1872, we're SAG, l64 Is, against s4l7,.
444 80 for the previous year The re.
ceipts over the 'penditures the past
year were s253.304.s4, whereas they
were but slO7 ,3227l the previous
year.

summers Speech on Grant,

Mr.. Summers speech 10 the Senate
on the 3lst ult., has been characterised
as ga terrible arraignment Of President
Grant" 1t was intended for effect on
the Philadelphia Convention, but the
delegates to that body had been pre-.
yiously instructed for Grant, aud its
force was expended in vain upon them.
It's effect upon tie country remaiIs to
be seen, 1t will probably fall still-born,
or as one born out Of time. II is be
leyed to have been Inspired by personal
enmity; aud although Grant deserves
all that Sumner has said Of him, aud
more, yet, Intelligent minds cannot forget
that the author of this seathing denun,
citation is as bad as Grant. The New
