Greelty and Uiuhii.
One week after the nomination or Horace
Grcel-y and 13 Gralz Drown at Cincinnati,
the Democratic State Convection of Tennes
see met at Nashville, accepted the Cincinnati
platform and declared it inexpedient aud
daugert us fur the Democratic Katioual Con.
vention to make a straight-out notniuation.
This was significant, coining from the bource
U did. but wLen. only a few days afterwards,
the Democratic Convention of the great State
of Nfw York virtually instructed her dele
gates to Baltimore to vote for (Jreeley and
I'rjwn, it did not r quire a political prophet
to foretell that their Domination would be
come an accomplished fact. After the
prompt action of these two Slates, the Dem
ocratic column from Maine to Oregon turned
itd fttce iquarely towards Cincinnati and
from there to Baltimore.
It would be peifectly idle for us now to
d.scuss at leogth the que.tion why all this
came to pats. The explanation can be
cas.ly giveu aud will be readily accepted by
any Democrat of ordinary political sagacity.
It i3 this : 1 1 viw of the present relative
strength of the Democratic aud iUJical
parties, it is as absolutely true as any prob
letu iu mathematics can be, that the Demo
cratic party, "solitary and alone.'" to use the
words tf oue of its greatest leaders ou a
memorable occasion, cannot defeat the i fiice
hjldera and their candidate, (GraLt.) and
that his ovei throw and expulsion from
p iwer can ouly be certainly accumpliehed
by complete and perfect unioti upon the
saiue candidates and the ame platform t f
tie eutire Democratic Ywte ami the Vote of
the Liberal or anti-Grant portion of th
Republican party. This is a Mslf-videtit
fact iu the present ftale of parties in thi
country. This being to, it U the great polit
ical miracle of vur day that the Southern
Democracy have rolled Horace Greeley under
their tongue "as a fwttt morsel.'" and de
tnauded almokt with one united voice that
fie should be their truted leader. Although
be had Iwc their consistent and inveterate
political f.aj, judged from their own stand
point, they rard him as their Moses to lead
them safely across the political Red S and
out of the prescriptive and revengful rule
t.f Grant, the Pharoah of R idicalisni, into
the I right aad happy land beyond a land
of good will, peace aud perfect recoucil ation.
Tuese are the. plain and manifest ieaona
why Horace Greeley was nominated at Bal
timore by the National Democratic Conven
tion. Was it right or was it wrong? We
Bay it was ri-.ht. and that it was the fore
bhadowed aud logical .result of the political
revuiuttou throughout tie country cu'mi
nating at Baltimore in the anomalous, but
predestiaed, nomination 0f Greeley aud
Brown. We say. moreover, that the nomi
nation of Horace Greely, for the reasons we
have Lcfoie stated . was wise aod prudent,
aud that it was the only nomination, looking
at it iu all its political bearings and aspects,
that was fit and politic to have been made.
It is Dot now a question of what Horace
Greeley has been in hi capacity as editor of
the New Yoik Tribune, nor is it, or ever
ought it to be. a question with a Bound aud
progressive Democrat what amount of abuse
aDd vituperatiou he has heaped upon the
Democratic pa.ty ; but the vita! and living
question is, is Horace Greeley in this cam
pvga iu full accord and sympathy with
everything that is honeit and pure io the
administration of the government, and op
posed to all that is oppressive, corrupt and
wrong ? We believe he is right and honest,
and iu favor of a perfect reunion of the two
sections, based on mutual rights and mutual
concessions, and that tinder his adminietras
Hon a new and better era will be inaugura
ted io the political history of this country.
Neither the Cincinnati movement nor the
result of ibe Baltimore Convention was the
cunnir.gly devised trick of professional polN
ticians, bnt it was ibe genuine, strong and

this strange and unprecedented political
movement, party leaders and parly organs.
rf high as well ow degre, bave been
. ver-vhelmed and swept away by the irresist
ible tidr or public opinion as chaff U before
th- whirlwind. The Baltimore Gmvention
was the Supreme Court sitting it, Judgment
on the fate of the Democratic party, ppeak
Jng in a political sense, ani from its decision
Ihere can be no appeal. As an earnest and
consistent Democrat we cheerfully submit to
its decision, and will give onr best efforts in
behalf of tht election of the LUltimore tieket.
The Xcw York. "World."
As a political orgn, the New York World
bis always been conducted with the most con
summate ability. For force aud vigor, it has
been h power in the land, and has exercised
an influence second to no other political
journal in the country. What we entirely
approved and most admired in the conduct
of the World has been Its constant and Un
flagging effurts to impress upon the Demo
cratic party the policy, as well as the neces
sity, of discarding the worm-cut and obsos
lete issues of the past, of letting the dead
patt bury ita own dead, and grappling with
the living issues cf the present. It is true
that in many quarters its wise and prudent
counsels were at Gist cautiously, if not un
favorably, received, but the seed which it
planted has in time borne good fruit, and it
may uow be said that its considerate advice
has become the well-recognized and estab
lished policy and action of the national De
mocracy. Kecogniz'ng the se'f-evident fact, that in
the pending Ptesideutal strugg'e the Demo
cratic party, unaided and alone, would be
powerless to elect its own candidate, it
warmly espoUKed a coalition with the Liber
al Republicans as the only sure and practi
cal method of wresting the control of the
government from the hands of those who
now rxii-use and pervent it to their own per
sonal arms. Although the "World, and the
test of mankind" believed and taught that
the Republican Mahomet ought to come to
the moui.tain of Femocracy, rather than that
the mountain bhould pass over to Mahcmet.
still it was not unyielding and did not insist
on the first alternative as a sine qua non to
the proposed union f the two political forces.
For reasons which were no doubt satisfac
tory to the World, and in perfect harmony
with the purpose at which it aimed, it fa
vored and ably advocated the nomination of
Charleo Francis Adams by the Liberal Re
publican Convention which met at Cincin
nati. But Mr. Adams was not nominated
at Cincinnati, and Horace Greeley was.
Since that event occurred, the World has
persistently, both in season and out of season,
violeutly resitted and strenuous' opposed
the nomination of Horace Greeley by the
Baltimore Convention. The nomination,
however, having been made, the World ac
quiesces in the decision of the only regularly
constituted tribunal cf the Democratic party
for the fioal settlement of the question.
Of course the Wurld, from its political
antecedents, could not, and we felt coLfi lent
would not, go behiud its well-eatabliohed
record arid encourage a bolt or refu-e to sup
port even an objctionoble candidaie. when
that candidate was placed in nomination by
the proper tribunal and under the well-rec-ogniz-.d
tults and custom of the Democratic
party.
On the d ty after the nomination of Gr. eley
and Brown by the Baltimore Convention, the
World contained a well-wrilteD article on
the resuit of its deliberations, replete with
whole.-ome and salutary advice, a portion of
which we publish below, and commend it to
the serii us consideration of our readers :
Tlie World is of course bound bv its re-
I'.eraie-I pledges and promises, and by its
eiie of tideliij to the Democratic party, to
cq.iesce In what a as done ye.-teiday at
Baltimore It therefore accepts' Mr. (jrevley
s the Democratic candidate for President.
Without attempting to conceal its doubts and
miHgivins, it sub.jr.iius tea iu views to those
of the arty, and totally abides by the decis'uu
ol the National Convention. We trust that
the action at B iltimore may be indorsed by
the people ; nnd if it receives tbe full appro
bation ol the Democratic masses, Mr. Greeiey
wi! be the next President of the United
States.
For ourselves (since we are reduced to this
alternative; we altogether prefer Greeley to
Grtnt ; hut lb are multitudes of Dc'm i
crats who. in their preent temper, would as
soon have one of these Republicans at the
head of the Government r3 the other The
successor the Greeley campaign depends on
the ability of the Democratic party to convince
thece recalcitrant Democrats that the public in
terests would be promoted by Mr. Greeley's
election. The real hinge of the Presidential
election is the possibility of convincing the
anii-Greeley Democrats that he is a bitter
candidate than Grant.
Inasmuch as the success of the campaign
depends on reconciling the whole Democratic
party to Mr. Greeley's nomination, nolhin"
could be more ilNju.igeJ and suicidal than
pouring out vials ol wrathful abuse upon the
anti-Greeley Democrats. It they aie treated
with decent courtesy and consideration, they
will, by and by. ungraciously and grudgingly
perhaps, but still effectively, support the Balti- i
more uominatiou. But if they are pursued
and hounded down as accomplices of Grant, if
their motive are impugned and their patriot i-m
called in question, they will be driven over
into the Grant camp, and tbe election lost.
The Demuciats who dislike the nomination of
Gieeley hold the balance ol power. On them
it Ue-ends whether Grant or Greelcr shall be
the next President, if Mr. Greeley's friends
should be so tooliah as to impugn their mo
tives instead of attempting to convince their
judgment, the campaign is lost- It is essen
tial to the success ol the canvass that their
views should be res petted and their prejudices
humored ; that due allowance should be made
lor their instinctive opposition to so strange a
candidate ; and that, instead of driving them
away by furious aspersion of their motives,
they should be courted aud conciliated by con
ceding their patriotism and courteous! v per
suadinjj them that a Democratic triumph'under
Mr. Greeley Would be altogether belter than
aimhing that could come from the re-election
ol Grant. Unless these recalcitrant Demos
crats cau be won ovr. the camoaign agaiu?t
Grant is utterly hopeless ; and it is too evident
that they cannot be gained by browbeating and
revilu.g them, but otdy by treating them as
honest, sincere meu who have serious misgiv
ings as to the effect ol nominating Mr. Greeley
If a reaKonb!e deference is paid to their con
63ieniious scruples, they may easily be brought
into harmony with tbe great body of the parly
but if they are driven off by insult aud con
tumely, this Piesidential campaign will be
lost beloie it is fairly opened. Now that Mr
Greeley has received the regular Democratic
nomination, everything depends upon his re
ceiving a lull Democratic vote ; a result which
cannot be accomplished by abuse and imputa
tion of improper motives, but ocly by kiud and
courteous appeals to tbe good sense and mag
nanimity ol hesitating Democrats. Now that
the nomination has been made, the great object
ia to secure Democratic haroionv aud unani
mity ; a result which cannot be accompl ished
by treating Mr. Greeley's Democratic oppo
nents as il they had broken their relations with
the Democratic party.
Hon. Daniel W. Voobhees. of InJiana,
was re-nominated for CoDgress from his dis.
trict on Thursday last. He made an able
aud eloquent speech in favor of Horace Gree
ley on the occasion, wbkb we will publish
next week.
.Sensible Advice. '
The Pit tsburgh Post was violently opposed
to the nomination of Hoiace. Qi.eelcy tiy. the
IaltirooreConvention,"ba"t true t its Demo
cratic instlVicts. it ricoguizes the validity ar.d
binding force of the action. the Convention
and cordially and earnestly, supports him.
In a recent article it profl'ers the following
wholesome advice to those Democrats who
were lu political sympathy with it. and as it
is sincerely giveu. we trust it will be kindly
received and meet with general acceptation:
To those Democrats who. like ourselves,
have made decided opposition to Grcelej,
when to the general surprise he was uomira
ted at Cincinouii, we would say in that earnest
kindi e93 of feeling which arises from deep
disappointment, that we too, were astonished
and perplexed by the result. But still, things
are not so bud as they might have been, and
let us solemnly protest agjinst the giving ot
any Democratic vote to perpetuate the baleful
practices ol Grauiism. Nor should auy Dem
ocrat imagine that by declining to vole at all,
he will escape the responsibility of perptuats
ing the ills ihit aie r.ow wearing down our
countiy. Give Grant fouryeais more, and be
w ill conceive the Presidency belongs t him.
It is only necessnry that absolut ana should
gain in the rrxt four years as much as it ha
done in the last four, to produce this result 1
Let us make a heroic and cigantic effort to
overthrow the undue power established by and
claimed lor the central government by Grant
and his minions, in every State aud iu all the
j States at once.
For any conscientious Democrat to even
speak ol voting tor Grant is a sin against his
' country, his God and truth,'" and even to
think, in Ids secret soul, of doing such a thing,
is a thought that he ahoulJ, and most assurenly
w ill , lepent of with bitterness and sorrow , aud
in sack-cloth and ashes.
Chief Ju-tick Thompjom, of this State
now the Democratic candidate forjudge of
the Supreme Cuutt, had the mhfortuue, as
all good but prudent aud sensible men have,
to be represented at the Baltimore Conven
tion by a few troubled and unhappy spiiits,
who professed to believe that, if Judge
Thompson was Dominated a straight-out
Democratic candidate f -r Presideut, he could
be elected. We record it to Judge Thomp
son'o common secse and political sagacity,
that as soon as he heard of this foolish and
insane movement, he at once telegraphed to
his sincere but misguided friends in Balti
more, that he was not and would not b a
candidate for President under any "circum
stances, and that it would meet with his
most decided disapproval if his frieiida. or
any of them, should be so indiscreet as to
present his came before the Convention, even
only fur a complimentary vote. Any man
who knows Judge Thompson will not be
burprised at the prcmptand inauly course
he saw proper to purue. His continued
services are needed by the people of Peunsyl
vania of both parties eu the bench of the
highest judicial tribunal in the State.
Glkflky's Wkdmng Day. A correspon
dent v. i King In. in Warrenton. N. C . says :
It was on tbe 6ih day of July, lb3t. that
II . face Greeley was uuitrd ia the holy bonds
of matnuiony with Miss Mary G. Cheney, of
Warrentoo.
Tne auspicious event came about in this
w-ise : M.ss Cneney, a y ur.g 1 4dy ol r m tik
ably fine person sua accomplish aieuu, a
native ef New England, was engaged in
teaching in tbia place. She was no doubt
affianced to Mr. G'reley before she Uft her
not t hero huine, as traditiou aLd the recollec
tion of the eldea inhabitants furnish no
evidence of a prior visit of that geutibmao to
our town.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Win. J. Norwood, ic the modest little Epis
copal church of which he was then rector,
and which still stands embowered araung'
a grove of noble elms and ajen. The
bridesmaid was El zabeth Bragg, sister of
the late Governe)! aud Senator of that name,
aDd of Geuerai Biaxtou Bragg. Her attend
ant, Alexander Yancey, Esq , became ber
future husband, and the happy couple emi
grated to West T' nnes&ee many yrars h"o.
Mr. Norwood still lives, as rector of a church
iu Richmond.
It is even remembered that one of our
prominent citizens tendered Air. Greeley the
uso of his carriage on the occasion. But the
most curious circumstance counectcd with
the event is the ancient iegal nquiremeut
which it recalls. I:i colonial times, wheu
tho currency consisted of pound, shillings,
and pencj. the law made it necessary to give
bond that there existed no-lawful cause or
impediment to obstaict the marriage ; and
among these impediments extreme poverty
and incapacity to support a family, whereby
the parish might be involved iu expense,
was one. Hence the necessity for a bond.
A FhiOHTFt'i, Situation. An r-rt r.nr.
dinary case of suffering was brought to light
Monday in Cincinnati, in a very singular
manner. Oflkers Codey and Gleason. of the
lQiru aismct Malum, were making their
Usual rOUnda. ftrwl in crnmincr nn KavaoII,

street, their attention was atiracted by the
aimost stineei cries, apparently of some one
in great distress coming from the bouse No.
331. They immediately effected an entrance,
and, after a time, traced the noise to the
cellar, where they fouud a woman iu a most
deplorable condition. The house in question
has been vacant for a short time. tnd the
woman, whose name is Margaret Wiliz. had
been employed to do stme cleaning prepar
atory to putting it in order for occupancy
again. She iuformtd the officers that she
went there last Thursday morning and com
menced her work, and while cleauing a door
that leads into the cellar on the inside,
missed her footing and fell into the cellar, a
distance of about nine feet, injuiing herself
so badly that she was unable to get up.
She remained in this place from Tuesday
until yesterday morning, when fuuod by the
officers, without food or water. She stated
to the officers that she could hpar t, ..ic
on the street very plainly, and had made
every enrt jo tier power to make herself
beard, but in vain, ami bad finally given
herself up to die. Although r.o hone were
broken, 6he had strained her limba in the
fall, and also received wvm ir juriea in her
back. The officers conveyed her bo the Cfu-mercial-hospital,
where she now i iu a very
feeble state.
Fob Gbekley P. T. Barnum. the great
showman, is out in a letter for Greeley,
whom he has known for thirty years, "and
known him only to admire and love him."
"In my opinion." says Mr. Baroum. "he ia
as pure a man as God ever made. He has
done more to mould the American character
for good than any dozen clergymen, editors
or any other men in America. He has done
more to make the Republican party than
any other ten men. He ia the most unselfish
man I ever knew. H:s faith is bo grounded
in justice to all that no man, men or clique
can ever tempt him to wink at wrong-doing
hence he will nevnr Ha !,t

4,'ood Advice to Eckiocrati.
At a rat'fica ion meeting held in Harris
burg a few days ago. Hun. Wm. A Wallace
took occasion to dt fine the duty of Democrats
in the present crisis. He was one of those
who did not vote for Mr. Greeley in the
Pennsylvania delegation, and his words will
have weight with all who held similar views.
Mr. Wallace spoke as follows :
Amorg tbe political revolutions of the past
fifty years, no more signifiiennt or singular
spectacle has been presented than that which
culminated at Baltimore, in the nomination of
Gieeley and Drown, for the offices of President
and Yii-e-President, by a Democratic National
Convention, with all the solemnity and in per
fect accordar ce with the rules and usages of
the organization. True it is that we have in
.our own dav seen a British Premier bow his
phead to the fi t ot a progressive public opinion.
and deliberately teverse dis position upon grave
questions of State policy, but he had upon bim
the robes and obligations of officii) station and
was bound to aid in crystnlizing in law the will
of tbe people whose eervat t he is That a
great political organization, who?e highest
bonst has heretofore been that of devotion to
principle, whose membership has been cohered
and strengthened by that very devotion, and
which with caim deliberation accepted obloquy
and scorn, reproach and contumely during a
bloody civil war rather than surrender or yield
a single syllable of the opiuions that were
passed upon the doctrines of the constitution
and the plain piinciples of free government,
should by its chosen representatives, with un
exampled unai.irrity, place the standard of
their laith and their organization in the hands
of (.ue who during a'l thoFe years was cer
foremost in their denunciation and who by his
persistent antagonism to the cardinal tenets of
that faith had won lor hiin.-elf among the mass
es ol their p-irly au unenviable place, as one
who Bought to destroy and not to heal, m.ty
well be said to be a singular spectae'e. Of the
reason for this result it is my purpose to speak,
aud whilst In my p'sce rs a Senatorial delegate
representing the Dernocraoy r I the Slate, I did
what I could in honor to resist the tide, and
voted with the twenty -three men from Penn
sylvania who composed the minority of the
delegation and voted again.-t Mr Greeley, yet
I can appreciate the arguments that weie so po
tential in accomplishing the end. ifore than
two-thirds of the Convention and a mnjority ol
your own delegation, having in solemn form
yielded their acsei.t to those Truman Is, lur:h'-r
opposition would have been but factious, and
in obedience to the instructions of your delega
tion, which bud so honored me an avowed
auti-Gree'ey mar. as to place me at its head,
I accepted the result, singular as it was. and
moved at,d voted to make it unanimous What
h:is produced this most marvellous change?
What potent influences or un nswerab!e argu
ments achieved so momentous a purpose ?
Why has the Demccracv passed by their own
men ol intellect, of culture and of statesman
ship and chosen one who has been an alien to
their views, their thoughts and their purposes T
1 he periods of peace that immediately follow
times of greit social commotion or of interne
cine war have invariably been those during
which the liberties of a lr e people are in jeop
ardy. Laxity of morals, familiiri'y with
bloodshed, habi's of luxury and the subordina
tion of civil to military power breed neglect of
legal and constitutional restraints, and that
which before a war would have been a crime,
meriting deposition or punlsl metit, paasrg after
it ts but a venal offence or a trifling irregulnr
ity. and the man in official station who is bold
est in despi-ii g its legal and moral oMiga'ion
U lew ho receives the highest plaudits of a viti
ated and debaucl ed public sentiment. To such
! condition has thia. our ur happy coun'ry,cone
I t eed not stop to point tou to lhe!e evi'.c ou
litiow and tee them ; jou hesr them criticised,
fin leumed or condoned in every hour ol mur
w:iking momenta. No sane in tn denies their
X'ltence: none can justify or excuse them.
They strike at the very vita's of the political
and social fabric. They fap the foundation of
free government, and if not ariested will des
trov our institutions ar.d aacrifice our liberties
To put an end to these and to re-tore to the
republic a period of puritv of rfii;i:il mora', of
fliict obedience to official ob igalions. ed relief
friui oppressive taxation . and from unnecessa
ry prescription, was the desire of all within our
orgaDizt'ion aud many thousand without its
pale. The union of these forces for the at
tainment of these ends, all conceded to be ern
IteuTiily Stand proper. That this unity could
only be effective by the action had at Balti
more, was the influence and ihe argument that
produced the no mi iw ion of the ticket aud the
endorsement of the pint form. Our own states
men were passed by because it was Believed
that an effective union could not be had on anv
of them. In a word, it was believed there, and
so acted upon by a vast mnjority of the Con
vention, that the only way to defeat Grant was
to nominate Greelev . My judgment and con
victions did not reach thi conclusion, nor do
they now, but when a majority ot our delega
tion declared for this result, although our Stat
is universally regatdfd as ihe pivot on which
all will turn, we were powerless to enforce our
view upon the convention. Pennsylvania uni
ted con Id have turned the scale and controlled
results; divided and in a minority we could but
vote our opinions and acquiesce in the will of
two-thirds ol the Conventiou formally declared.
Distasteful as I know this nomination to be to
mary thousands of our people, we must yet ac
cord to the candidate the posseisiou of pur'rv
of character and integrity of p irpose. Tha't
if elected he will administer the government
purely and houetly, and will bo far as in him
lies "protect, preserve and defend the Consti
tution of the United States," we can scarcely
c'oubt. Whilst many of our people believe
that he is one or. the causes f the many ills
that bave come upon us within the last twenty
years, we must remember that there is a place
of penitence for all. Since the war, upon the
impoitant questioii3 that affect the peace and
prosperity of the republic, that tend to restore
local self-government and the subversion of
the military to the civil power, his record is as
good as is any ol ours, and lor those things
which rankle and fester iu the memories of
inauy of our most ardent brethren, we must re
member that he is the candidate of the Demo
cracy ol the Soutberu States, with scarcely u
dissenting voice, and that when the leuda of
Caesar and Pompey had well nigh dcHtroved
the Souihu Slate, and the Rubicon waa punsed,
the patriot Cato. that noblest Koint.ii of them
all." when called to counsel for it n safety, al
though the bitter antagoui-i of Pompey, prompt
ly advised that all power b g;ven to him, lor,
paid he, "the authors of great evils know best
how to remove them."
These candidates are our candidates; the
standard of the Democracy, (or weal or lor
woe, is entrusted to their hands, and none who
love its grand organization, ita proud and glo
rious record, who deaiie lu success or ita per
petuity, can refuse to lolluw. We must sacri
bee our personal prejudice and sentiments and
opinions upon the altar of the country's good,
aud lollowing the banner whose folds we love
so well, move onward to victory.
Who can hesitate, when acceptance ef this
result osaurca our triumphant victory in Octo
ber, in which contest none but Democrats of
the purest type ask our votes? Who will raie
tbe ptiudard of dissension, of discord or ol
revolt to cause tbe defeat of the pure and able
meu who head aud fill our State ticket ? The
man who will strike at that ticket is none of
us; he is of the enemy, and seeks the election
of Grant. Apply the te?t let division, ois
sens ion and criticism cease. Arouse the peo
pie to enthusiasm lor October. Bring to the
polls everv Democratic vote. Counsel with
your allies trust them; help t hern. Ourcaure
is a common one. They dare not; they will
not betray you. You are assured of thfs, for
they must give you their votes (or Buckalew
and our ticket before you are called ou to vote
in November.

Fbensbtjko. June 22. 1872.
My Dear Sin: At eur recent brief inter
view I threatened to give you my views, or
rather my reasons for diffjiing with you on
the subject of the presidential nomination
a threat which I now mean to enforce.
I never encouraged the Cincinnati move
ment. When the course of the radical ad
ministration was so iudefensib'e as to array
the ablest men of that party agait st it, I
thought it their riu'y to corne to vs. as rn
the isues of to day thty fuy agreed with
us. But the democratic press and the dem
ocratic politicians lauded the Cincinnati
movment to the skies, and very naturally
interested the democrats in its favor.
That convention met adopted its platform
nominated its candidates, and aj urt;td.
Its work is now before the people. Its plat
form is enlirely acceptable to all democrats.
Indeed, Baltimote could give us no other or
better. If our convention should adopt the
Cincinnati platform and nominate a new dem
ocratic ticket, we should present the phe
nomenon of one platform and two sets of
candidates. Aod if tbey attempt a different
platform it would be a mere playing upon
words, as the two platforn.a must tmboely
the same sentiments.
You will admit this. But you and very
mauy other democrats will say, "The plat
form ia all right with anylajely but Greeley
on it." But, my dear sir. we have the plat
form at d w have Mr. Greeley " letter of ac
ceptance going any length in the right direc
tion that is desired by any democrat. The
platform and the candidate rath in terms
admit that the mis is . of the republican
party is accomplibhe. , aud join u in asking
a restoration ot the rights of the States and
the people.
Then, as a question of pure principle, we
have our own p'aiform. and ail ol jectioLs
mu-t be turned to the person of Horace Gree
ley.
Ila has abused Ihe democratic party in no
tinted terms for the last twer.tv-five years.
True. He has tcritlen what Davis, and
TrtimbuM, and Feu ton. ar.d McCiure thought
and acted until the mission of the republican
patty piaytd tut. Nmc. Grant ano1
Grary. and Iyigan, and Butler, and Hartr nft
all old denvarratB, in order to perpetuate
power in themselves, cling to adying organ
ization, while Greeley and his companions
rise to the true isturs f tbe day.
From the day f LeeV surrender till the
pns'-nt moment, H trace G.eel J ha en lat
ently and persistently favored universal am
nesty and a return to specie pajnenfs. His
honesty and Integrity of pnrprsr is tit q-.--tioi
ed no man doubts but he will faithfully
adhers to the doctrines con'.-vined in his letter
ft acceptance, for be never was one tf those
That falter with us In a double sense ;
That keep the word of promise to our car,
Aud bre'uk it to our hope.
But you and other good democrats may
fear the loss f the name and identity ef the
great party to which we belong. 1 have no
such fear. Every Sta'e democratic erpni
zation is maintained, and our State tn kets
will be carried triumphantly with the aid of
the liberal republican votes.
But should the Greeley republicans even
desire a recognition by name, it wruld only
get the democrats back to where tbey start
ed . In the days i f .LfhVrson the democrals
uniformly headed their candidates '"Demo
cratic Republican Ticket." a designation
they retained for more thaD a quarter of a
century; and I should crrtato'y not grrmb'e
at restoring the name in fn?', if with it there
is a recurrence to Jt ffersonian principles.
I shall cot be at Bakimore. nor shall I
make any ff .rt in producing the result there.
But I shall abide by trie rtsu't, believing it
the action t f the cumined wisdom and in-,
tegrity of the country. I shall ue my efforts,
poor tht ugh they bo. to destroy the nepo
tism, centralism, and despotism - that now
opprens our country, and in restoring the
era of free thought, free action, and free
elections. And sincerely believing that that
can be best aceomplishod by the nomination
cf Horace Greeley at Baltimore, have giveu
to you one of the working democrats
one who tfiinks as well as labors for the faith
a few reasons that would impel me to the
choice of him, who, I hope, under Providence,
is destined to save our beloved country from
the perils that surround her.
Yours, very truly,
R L. JoiissoN.

A very spirited, and interestinjr Mowinjr March
was he-Id on the farm of C. II. IJostwick, E.-i.,
near Complx llsport, in this county, on the loth
Inst. There wus a larg-e attendance of specta
tors, and more than ordinary interest mani
fested in the friendly competition. An airrce
nie nt had be-en entered into, between the par.
ties representing the different machines, that
onl3 Common Machines (such as are ordinarily
offered for sale, and not made for special occa
sions) should be allowed to enter the contest,
each machine should mow an equal amount of
grass and one team and driver should be used
for all, in order that the trial might be a fair
one, and the merits of the machines alone lay
claim to public favor. The "-Etna" Mower,
made by the.JTNA Manufacturing Co. orSalein
Ohio, for which Peter II. Hean appeared as
ag-ent, proved to have the lightest di ang-ht, and
this, with its simplicity or construction nnd
beauty of design, combine! with its powerful
