" Proi;i-ess!" "Progress!
How
it lias been sung and tooted, rung and
rpouteil, ranted, ranted, yelped and
(limited, till over the land. From
WiiinipinneOtlee to liio tirande,
from "aiie ( Nd to Perdition, -Wher
ever there was a Yankee throat to
gulilile it forth, or a yankee tongue
to give it voice; " l'rogren . pro
gress ' yunkee progress !" has been
the ever-sounding, topmost theme.
There is no speech or lauguage,
wliere its twang has not been heard.
In deep mountain gorge and lonely
vale, in tangled forest and dismal
swamp; wherever the ubiquitous
hoof of a slab-sided Puritan peda-gogae,tin-ware-peddler
or clock-tinker,
has penetrated; or the corkscrew
proboscis of a vinegar-visaged Bos-
tonian school-inarra, has intrusively
thrust itself; the very echoes have
in-own weary anil hoarse, with cease
lessly bawling : "Progress ! progress!
yankee progress!"
Point them to the gigantic bur
dens of debt and taxation, Ossa of
corruption on Pelion ot extortion
piled, beDeath which a mighty hemi
sphere, a continent boundless iu
extent and exhaustless in resources,
is languishing, groaning, dying;
And some lunatic Sumner or demo
niac Butler, rises in the Capi
tol, and splits his senatorial
toga, chundering: "Progress ! pro
gress! yankee progress!" Point them
to the carnival of crime, which rolls
like a delude of hell's own blackness,
from Maine to Mexico, which has
convei ted our whole lanil into one
vast, seething, hideous pandemonium
of outrage and horror; and turned
all our newspapers into Newgate
calendars, mere daily records of vit
lainy and shame; And some pul
piratical uiouiitebank,some sanctiried
thiinble-rigger, some holy-eyed
cheap - damnation - vender, some
IJeecner, Bellows, Tyng or Viuton,
stands up iu his God-foraken swine
agogue,hakes out his bogus apo9tolic
robes, and whimpers: "Progress!
progress ! yankee progress !"
Tcil them that, governed aud
led by maniacs, sots and debauchees,
and cursed by fanaticism, contempt
of law, and insatiate greed ot gold,
forty millions of people are rushing,
with the speed of the wind on abend
er, headlong to bell, morally, social
ly, politically and financially ; And
forthwith, all their ten thousand
L'taini inoiiils, priests and false
prophets, rend their shirts from
neck-band lo tail, iu an agony of
pious abhorrence; shout'Blasphemy
I reason ! Progress! Yankee prog
l ess !" and proceed to rhapsodize
on the good time coining, when
New I'.ngland's high-moral ideas
hhall pervade the, whole laud; When
brass clocks, self-rocking cradles
pusteboard horn-buttons and patent
humbuggeries, bhall sprout sponta
neously on Carolina Palmetto trees
When Virginians and Texans Bhall
say "keow" through their snouts
aud charge itinerant parsons lifteen
cents for their dinners; And when
pumpkin-pies, apple-sass, codfish
balls aud psalm-singing scoundrel
ism, shall be staple dishes on every
bill ot tare, tiom Bunker 1 1 ill to
Corpus Christi.
Bah ' bah! Iown with the Ananias
like prophets and sirens ' Down
with the addle-pate spouters of
rhetoricul rote-waler, and predicters
of a milk-and honey future! Talk
not to us of a millennium to come, a
year of jubilo ahead. The white
lion already lies down with the black
lamb, the pale wolf with the dusky
kid, and young hog hkin-tjaddle-color
IlotU lead thein. 1'he brazen s trum
pets of Puritaniggerdom have already7
proclaimed a ragamuffin jubilee, al
ready established a charcoal millen
nium. Old things are passed away ;
behold all things are become new.
Passed away, gone glimmering like
misty jack-o'-lanterns amid the dark
trog-ponds of despair, are the glori
ous teachings of the Constitution,
the proud memories of the devolu
tion, the rights of the States, the
honor of the Nation, and tho liber
ties of the People. 1872 is 172,
but just somersetted. vice versaed,
twisted out ot joint. In 1782, Wash
ington was a patriot hero, "first iu
war, first in peace, and first iu the
fizzards of his countrymen." Iu
872, he would be but a despised
"Old Virginia Kobel;" Mount Ver
non would be confiscated for a nigger
school or burial-ground; aud its
illustrious owner disfranchised, if
not consigned to adungeou, or hang
ed for treason or ku-kluxery.
Hip! hip! hooray for us-uns !
"Progress" if.our watchword, and
"Perfection" our aim. And we're
getting there, alarmingly, ain't we ?
See how we sardines float, how
we decayed pomological fpecimeus
swim. "Age ot progress: Aye,
truly, crawfish progro-is tail-end
foremost. Such progress as, if not
checked, will ere long land us amid
the barbarism, the anarchy, the hor
rors of the dark (ey) est ago.
But a tew years since young as
we are, within our recollection
Webstors, Clays and Calhounssat in
our couucil-chambers.our legislative

to heaven, with such just and honest
pride, aa ours ; and no music stir

strains of "Hail Columbia." Our
while-winged bulks, laden with

perched upon the tallest peak of the

piercing eye from Behring's Straits

The Cincinnati Convention tins done its
work well. It has pri-spnted ttie very
Htionirest ticket lo the coiinlry that euulil
have been selected, t'liis is the opinion
of all with vhni we have conversed upon
the subject. It excited not a little enthu
sium when annonneeJ upon our street
yesterday, and we met but lew who would
not willingly entrust the destinies ol (tie
Republic to such keeping. The plall'orni
adopted by the Convention, too, is a very
jjood one," and nobody will Hud any dtlll

lookers-on in Vienna." we may he
permitted to express an impartial opinion
that Grant will discover this to be the
hardest wall he has ever bulled his bullet

Greeley and Brown me both acceptable
to the people of the South, and it thev

the other wtng ol the Republican party,
seeiliff the hopelc-siie.-s ol contending
aojaiiist such tiilds, will throw Grant over
board at Philadelphia and accept Greeley
and Brown, or endeavor to make some
other compromise. U would seem to be
madness on their part lo go into a contest
thnssplit, as it were, iu twain.
The Cincinnati w ing ol the Republican
party certainly represents the largest share
ot the respectability and honesty , as well as
the brains, ot that organization; and it will
be curious as well as interesl'ni'r to watch
the course of events between now and the
assembling of the Philadelphia concern.
There will be much palavering and ma
neuvering to effect a reconciliation; but if
we interpret aright the meaning and pur
pose of the Cincinnati meeting a departure
has been taken which so widely diverges
liotu any possible course the Philadelphia
wing could be induced to lollow.that there is
no possibility of .restoratir.r. of the frater
nal bond, even though tiraot and the most
obnoxious of tiis crew were cast over- 1

licans so radically differ from Hie Phila
delphians, that lin y can never again be
brought to work together iu the same
party organization ; they certainly cannot
unless the latter accept not only the plat
form but the leadership ot the uiein-

We do not hesitate to declare, on our
own personal observation as a delegate
I hat at no tune, n om .nu) morning
till Kridav noon, had any ol the candi
dates even a shadow of chance for flu
.residential nomination, except Horace
Greeley. It is true that the name ot Mr
Adams' led the balloting, and at one time
w as within 4!l votes of au apparent victory
But every delegation sat all the while
with nencil anxiously in hand ready to
record 11 change of vote the moment the
Adams tide should ri-e too high for Mi
Greeley's safety. "e decisive action
took place on the. sixth ballot, at which
period the impatience ot the convention
could be restrained 110 longer. Screaming
chairmen sprang to ll.ltnr ieet 111 an por
tions of the hall, anxious 10 place their
delegations well on the victorious record,
and "then the convention got its choice.
This decision was not the result of any
accident or bargain. Nothing engineered
for Mr. Greeley except the inherent force
of his own popularity, which constantly
worked him ahead, and which burst all
bounds and esrr.ed him in with a tempest
of applause. The people intend to stand
by him. The unmistakable response
which is now pealing Ironi all parts of
the country, particularly from the entire
South and conspicuously from the Irish and
Germans, deprives us of all uneasiness
upon this subject, and here we will em
brace the opportunity to make an expla
uatiou of the reason we did not introduce
the name of Sunnier to the convention after
having so long advocated it as our tirst
choice, was that the distinguished sena
tor, though sympathizing with the con
vention and its purposes declared to us in
personal conversation here with him, a
few days before we left for Cincinnati,
that he did not desire to have his name
out iu nomination for the presidency.
We assume of course that the Cincinnati
nomination will be indorsed by the Balti
more convention. The truth is, the
Iletnocratic masse have themselves taken
up this question of indorsing the Cincin
nati nominees just us the Republican
masses are breaking from their old lead
ers In the lirst place Horace Greeley
represent" not only the reform sentiment,
but revised political sentiment of the en
tire nation, and through his candidacy
the convention feels that it will commence
a new era of national regeneration. It is
of secondary importance whether the
Baltimore convention Indorses the nomi
nation of Greeley or not. We who have
nominated him, intend to stand by him
w ithout regard to the action of any politi
cal combinations or pretended political
leaders whatsoever. We believe most
likely the result of the canvass will 1ms
that fireeley, after the 9th of July, will
he without "nil opponent in the lie IU , a
state of things which we should exceed
ingly deplore. We desire especially that
there shall be one candidate against him,
and that that candidate tie ITIvssesS.
Grant. Against bun anil the corruption
with which he has signalized his gross ad
ministration, we desire to wage war 10
the knife.

After three days' deliberation of the
largest, most harmonious and enthusias
tic national convention ever held In this
country, a Presidential ticket Is presented
to the American people w hich cau not fail
to command their respect, uud which,
from its truly national character, to say
nothing of the admirable platform which
was and is its superstructuie, ought to
possess irresistible popular strength and
lo satisly the liberal sentiment of the
whole country. The ticket is a strong
one, not withstanding the fact that its
nomination was effected through agencies
uot altogether uncommon to nominating
conventions, smacking a lilile too much
of political intriguing to be entirely in ac
cord wilh the iinseltHi patriotism which
inspired ibis Liberal movement and pro
duced this convention. Tp ' to twelve
o'clock the day before, the nomination ot
Adams was regarded as a foregone con
elusion. The suddenness Willi which
that legitimate result, was anticipated may
be attributed to the timely arrival on the
scene ot that incomparable controller 01
the destiuie" of conventions, the Hon.
Francis P. lilair, to whom certainly be
longs the credit of organizing the decisive
ballot which has presented the honest
name 01 Horace Greeley to the American
people as the leader of the Liberal hosts

KKKI.EV AMI BKOWN A SI'KON'ti TICKET.
The nomination of Horace Greeley for
the Presidency and Gov. B. Gratz Brown
for ihe Vice-Presidency makes, in out
opinion, the strongest ticket which the
Liberal Republicans at ( incinuati could
have nominated, except one the excep
tion is Brown and Greeley not that we
would intimate that the present is a
kangaroo ticket. But there are points iu
Mr. Greeley's record which will be at
tacked w hile he occupies the hrst position
that would not have been subiect to cnti
ei-ui it he had been a candidate lor the
Vice-Presidency . 1 11 his favor as a candi
late against Grant, it may be said that he
controls the most potent political journal
w Inch ever existed in the united states
He has bv fir the largest Republican audi
etice 01 any other living man. lie lias
been as severe on the Grant aduiiuistm
tion and its encroachments and corrup
tions as any Democratic journal. He has
been, ever since the last gun of the last
war was tired, thoroughly iu favor of
Universal Amnesty. He was the first man
iu the North to step forward and demand
that Mr. Jefferson I'avis should be re
leased front prison, and fearing that i
bond for his release could not be given
be went from New York to Richmond, to
go 011 Mr. Davis bond lie is strongly
m lavor of the taritl which will undoubt
edly give hitu, as the anti-Grant candi
date, Pennsylvania, New York, Connec
ticut and New Hampshire. We hive not
believed it possible for any opponent ol
Grant lo carry Ohio, but the present
ticket can and will sweep the Aortliwt
if seconded by the National Democracy.
Gov. Gratz Brown is comparatively
young man. of many and powerful popu
lar trails. He is ''Ihe oitng I ii.mt " ' of
the present decade. He was the tin
pronounced advocatcof universal suffrage
and universal auiuetv. He is a Soulh
ern man by birth. but. long identified with
the Republican parly. As a candidate tor
Governor of Missouri, he took decided
ground against his old parly and in favor
of .striking the shackles from the white
people of the South. and was on that ques
tion elected Governor of Missouri by over
forty thousand majority. He was wilh
characteristic boldness and independence
the mover of the Missouri movement,
which called the Cincinnati Convention,
and resulted in the present anti-Grant
ticket. Po-itive and emphatic 111 bis na
ture and convictions, be will make the
most aggressive war 011 the Grant dynasty
of any liiau that could have been d iced on
the ticket.
We have spoken exclusively of the
favorable points in the estimation of this
ticket. Its election depends solely upon
the action ot the Democracy. Whatever
they shall conclude is best to be done for
thehighest interests of the country will be
done cheerfully . They will preserve their
organization intact and act as a body.
wTth the lights before us we do not doubt
that when in National Convention assem
bled they will take such action as will lead
to the defeat of Grant and the election of
the ticket presented at Cincinnati. As
between Grant and Wilson of Massachu
setts, and Greeley and Brown, there cau
be for the Democracy but one choice.

In what there ts. we believe our candi

We want immunity from the tyranny of
the Federal Government specially directed
against our Southern people on account
ol the late war. With Greeley as Presi

there will be an end of military arrestp iu
the South any more than In fYie North,
and that will be au end of the disreputa
ble scenes which lately we have seen in
Jackson and Oxford. We want the cor

be driven from place and power ana pun

Of all the Northern men Mr. Greeley is
now the least obiectlooable to the south
ern people, however much Ihey may have
once disliked him. in that nark- nour
w hen they were brooding over their des
olated homes and around their thinned
liiesides. Mr. Greeley threw himself
into the breach. Scortiiug the slander of
fanatics and earing nothing for pecuni
ary loss, he hastened 10 Richmond and
signed the bond of Jefferson Davis, in
order that he might be treed irotn a loath
some prison and iieace De restorea be
tween ihe two sections. Mr. Greeley
started iu life a practical printer. He
belongs to the working masses, for he
has been a constant laborer for nearly
forty years. Strict and punctual in hl.s
business habits, plain and affable in his
manners, with powers of mind which
grasp, as it were by intuition, every sub
ject 10 which they are applied, united to
various and extensive acquirements, ne is
pre-eminently qualified lor the position
to which he has been nominated. His
career in Congress was guided by honesty
and characterized by great ability. He
is a .statesman of enlarged views and ex
perience; ot extensive attainments; hon
est in his principles; pure in his private
lile; faithful lo his friends, and liberal to
Ins opponents. He has arrived at an age
which has brought with it wisdom to
guide his course, without imbecility to
impair his active powers. The nomiuee
for the Vice Presidency rounds off' the
splendor of Ihe ticket. B. Gritl. Brown,
the present Governor of Missouri, is
worthy the high station to which he as
pires. He is a tavorite atuoug the younger
si-ters of the union. He is the very type
of the progress of our great country, and
combines everv element ol strength. A
National Democratic Convention can auu
no strength to the Cincinnati ticket, while
uie least imprudence wouiu cause incalcu
lable injury. We earnestly trust the
follv of liolilino- a National Democratic

for a National Convention of the party
for the published purpose ot nominating
andidates lor the rre.siuencv and V ice

incumbent upon us to resist the nomina

a double duty to perform. First, to spare
110 etlort to create and display sucii a
entiinent of opposition to the nomination
of a Democratic ticket as shall actually

a hope of averting our present perils and
restoring our governuieutal structure to

Impressed with such views, we are uu-

From the Memphis ( Tenn) Avalanche
The most popular man in America is
Horace Greeley. His public life is before
the country. What he has done he has
done openly. He has sent lorlh uo un
certain sound . During the late war one
of the most powerful advocates of the
union cause, he is to-day more popular
with the ex-Confederate soldier, of the
Somth than any score of men at the North.
They recognize his honesty. Lis great
abilities, his persistent aud eloquent ap
peals for amnesty and equal rights since
hostilities closed. In all this is the secret
of his strength with the people of every
shade of political opinious. Gratz Brown
is the most popular name that could have
been choseu for the second place on the
ticket. It is a synonym of success, is
indissolubly linked with the great move
ment which the maladministration at
Washington ripened in Missouri, .and
whose good fruits the country will soon
enjay, unless a worse man criminal mis

him; that man is Horace Greeley.
From tbe Paducab Kentuckian, Ultra Dem.
Our special telegraph announces the
nomination of Horace Greeley , the Trib
une Philosopher, as the candidate of the
Conservative Republicans, for President
of the uuited states. This is the very best
nnmintion that could have been made.
Greeley is a great and good man, and
every honest man opposed to Grant's re
election can vote for him. He has never
hounded tbe Southern people, and when
the chieftain of the Confederate States was
iu chains, no man dared to step forward
and go his bail but Horace Greeley. Of
all the men North of the Ohio river, Gree
ley is the man who deervea the gratitude
of the South.

ticket is undoubtedly a good one and a
strong one, combining the acknowledged
honesty, integrity and solid common
sense of Mr. Greeley with the brilliancy ol
talents and political tniluence ot .Mi-
Brown. Liberal Republicanism has grown
to such astonishing proportions and holds
out such certain hopes ol a coiisuuiumtiot
earnestly desired by ail good men, that
the nomination of candidates by the Dem
ocrats would be highly impolitic. Events
m.ty arise which will render it necessary to
run a Democratic ticket, though they now
seem improbable and would certainly be
unfortunate, yet we may safely assert that
tbe light will be between Greeley and
Grant, only, and in such a contest all
honest men will know how to choose.
From tbe Richmond (Va.) Dispatch
This ticket, then, while not one that
Southern people might have named, had
ibey the power to elect those they might
name, is one that is liberal to them and
one tbat may be- elected. The question
is: Shall there beau effort to elect anoth
er, by which the re-election of Gram
would be insured? '
Should the Democratic parly nominate
a ticket, the result would be either to re
unite the Republican party by the with
drawal of the Liberal ticket, or to defeat
that ticket and prolong tin: dominion ol
the men under whose administration ol
the government we have su tiered so
greatly and tbe Constitution has been so
often violated. We can hardly think it
possible that a step so idle, so certain to
end iu disaster, will be taken. It would
be the supremest folly.
Thereiore, although the ticket is not
ours, with a smile at the singularity of
the situation, let us take honest old
Horace and the gallant delender of Lib
eralism from Missouri, and if our votes
help to elect them, we shall feel tbat we
have done admirably well in escaping the
prolonged misrule of ultra Republican
ism.

THK POLITICIANS AND IHE I'EOPLK.
The professional politician is a crafty
animal, and rarely more than one degree
removed Irom a coward, tie not ouly
waits to see which way the cat jumps.
but he wants to be sure that she is going
to lump lute a sate place. At tins mo
ment, when the brave yeomanry of the
country, out ol the depths ot their ow n
honest inner consciousness, are evolving
the problem of the political situation.
their would-be leaders are sinking behind
old doctrine, and sneaking off amid the
shadow of obsolete prejudices. The ieo
ple, muscular and courageous, catch the
truth, in Its most practical forms, by an
untaught intuition lhat comes 10 them iu
everyday habiliments, and tells them
plainly what to do aud how to do it. The
politicians, who are habitually a full length
in rear of ttie people, get their notions
by the hocus-pocus rule of tetty self
interest, which is inevitably devious,
roundabout aud tricky.
The people know that every road
that leads from Greeley leads to a
division, leads to two roads, which
latter go directly to Grant, and. there
fore, Ihey want no fooling. The politi
cians may battle ttie wisdom of the peo
ple and 60 muddle the current ol the
popular action as to secure the re-election
of Grant aud the final dissolution of the
Democratic party. They may do lhat.
But if they do, they w ill bring merited
retribution on themselves, for they will
he the first victims of their own short
sighted schemes.
The defeat of Grant is the one thing
needful for the South. A united effort
will secure it. Nothing less can. and
hence the outburst which is sweeping
over the Southern country in favor of
prompt action. The South cannot afford,
in any partisan interest whatever, anoth
er defeat, involving four years more of
bayonet rule.
