Why Salisbury supports Greeley-Anti-
BOurbOns.

This is a special dispatch to the st. Louis
Republicans:
New YORK, August 2O.-In a letter Just
published, Ex-Governor Salisbury, of Della
ware, who was against Greeley's nOmina-
ton at Baltimore, opposes a straight Demo
cratic nomination; and gives reasons why
the Democrats should support Greeley and
Brown. He says This | shall do not
merely because | was member of the CON
ventiOn that nominated him, but in Obedi-
ence to a sense of duty. Grant or Greeley
must be President for the next four years.
They are the only candidates before the
people, or who can be presented with the
slightest prospect of success.
Every attempt to bring forward a third
candidate will result benehcially to the can
| didate, or King, who has afflicted the coun-
try for the last four years. Mr.. Greeley is
| a gentleman Of large experience, standing
at the very head Of the journalists of this
country. His long experience in his profess
sion has prepared him for the duties Of q
statesman. | shall support Greeley and
Brown with all the energy possess, and /
hope every Democrat and conservative in
Delaware Will heartily unite to rid the
country Of the ring government WHICH is
eating our substance and subYertlng the
liberties Of the people. Hope to be able to
| take an active part in the noble struggle
J. Lawrence GetZ, Representative in Con
gress from the Old Berks district Of Penn
sylvania, prints a letter denying that he
has any sympathy with Grants side show
of BOurbons at Louisville. He. adds: |
| swallowed Greeley, as the phrase goes, and
| shall support him to the end with all the
| Influence / may possess, for these reasons,
which to Inc are Over-ruljng: First-Because
/ he was the unanimous nominee of a regu-
! larry constituted Democratic convention,
held and conducted in every particular in
strict accordance with invariable Democrat
| &c usage. SPcOnd-Because the platform to
which he has given his adhesion has been
adopted with rare unanimitv by henatiOnd
Democracy as a sound declaration Of po-
! Htical faith. Because / believe him to be
honest and capable, and that if elected he
Will administer the federal government I'M
der the constitution in strict conformity to
the will Of the people, and with consci-
cntious regard tor his official oath. If the
Democratic party had made no nomination,
and left me free to vote for whom pleased,
| would still, as between GTantism and
Liberal Republcanism, choose the latter
and give my support to its representative
man, Horace Greeley.
