By refereneo to our telegiaphie
oldumnw it will be seen that the Ciu
einnati,or Liberal Republican, Con.
vention concluded its labors last Fri.
day, tifter adopting a platform of
principles and nominating candidatca
for the Prusidency and Vice-Pcesi,
doney. Its noninees are Horace
Oreeley for President, and Governor
G ratz Brown for Vice President. two
of the most dittit guished men of the
timles, and tricd leaders of the Repub
liean party, Mr. Greeloy has a
world-wide reputation as the chief
e(litor of the New Yoik Tribune, and
is rcogIized as a statesman of great
ability, noted for sound sense and hon
esty of purpose, and is one of the orig
inators of the ntiional reform move
ent vwHicl brought about the meet
ig at Cinciinnati, an1d which we ear:i

'ratz Brown, precnt Governor of
Mlissouri, is a man of more thao ordi
1:uy 1iid, possCssiig statesmanlike
views on all natiotnal politicai ques
tioi,, and is looked upon as the mjost
prominent yumg pohtician in tht
greaLt West. Ile instituted the liber

hear wilierss to the fact thzat lie has
raiseud .\issouri from a state of' politi
eatl chaos and gloon, and made her
one0 of the most flourishing common
weahhls in the Uniion.
Thle assoition, then, of the names
of' M.ssrs. Greeley and Birowno for
Pre -idenat anid V ice-lI'resident pro.
seaits, ini our opintion, the strongest
liieriai combination that could have
been posibly made', andi is entitled to
the support of every Conservative
memi)ber of both paries in our7 couD
try. In these two distingnished men
the freo trade and protective tariff
elments ameet and harmonize, join
forces, and wage war' up~on military
udaurpaution, cent railisat ion, and offi..
cil corrupt ion. Thle paust is buried,
and henciefoath a new party enters
theo political arena to build up the
wv~a.ste places in thle laind, and re.sto
to a divided nation lusting pesce and
pro.-perity.
It is said by some that Mr. Gree.
Icy hats been the life-long eneamy of
the Democracy, and on that account
canniot elauim support. Admitting
that this is so, for it is well known that
he hats been an uncompromising Re
publican for many years, the posit ion
taken by bim now is to net without
reference to thie past and its issuep,
and( grapplo with the present inna pro.
gredsiv'e spirit, (ining to inlaugurate
anl era of genuine reconeiliation and
reform, heal up the wounds and as
perities of civil strife, and reestablish
the genleral gover'inment upon a Con

before the country upon this rqord,
and in the 9jdarapter of an honest and
4priht statesman, and should be.
heartily endorse'd by evety man who
ohn louk beyond party uffiHiations for
the good of the whole people.
The platform of principles upon
which the Liberal campaign Is to be
fought is broad, comprehenale, and
r0formuatory. It ombracos, equality
of all men before the law---union of
the States, and no, re opening of the
questions and. issues growing out of

the questions of free trade and pro
tection to the people in the Congres
sional Distriots, and the diicussion of
Congress thereon to ba wholly free of

These are the main platks in the
platform, and to us per-onally they
are entirely unobjeetionable. To
every man of a conservative mind
they carry their own commendation.

The lite Atlux D1trict.
We give below an article from the
Charleston News in regard to the of
feet i f Grant's military occupation of
certain Counties in the State, partie
uIlarly the county of Laurcns. Tne
wrongs inflicted upon our people and
the suffeing entailed upon themn are
briefly enumierated' WVe la.y the ar
ticle before our readers without furlh
er commicet, than remrking that the
State of things depicted is a sad comn.
ceontary upopn the boasted civilization
of the American Republic
"Very few pesn have any defin.
ite idea of the extent of the injury in
fi'ioted upon the ageileultural and comn
merccial interests by the wholesale ar
rests which have been mnade in the
upper Countics of the State. The
people heartily condemn the outrages
which such mcen as the witnesses have
committed ; but they know that ineno
cence is no shield, and they floe from
South Carolina to avoid the incaroe
ration which may be their fate a ven
al or half-erszed colored man ohoises
to make an acetenation against them.
As a necessaay consequence the cuIti
vation of the soil is suspended, the
merchants return their goods to the
firms from whom they were bought,
and the people of the nine counties
live in a condition of uneasiness which
had no parallel during the fieree
years of war. In the small County of
Laurens, by actual count, flue hundred
ploughs lie idle in the fields. That
County alone looses the Cealtivation
of fe'n thortsun~d acrcs of land as the
result of the savage erseent ion whieb
bhe General Government baa carried
on. Any practioal farmer, in the
North or WVest, catn caloulate for heimi
self how much damasge i:s deone thi
couanty lay such a susapension of labor
in the spring of the ) ear. Nay i the
solored laborers, who are thbrown out
of employment, feel acutely the,
wroiig of which they are, in their do
gree the vi"tims. No one in South
Carolina pretende to .jnatify the
enmne or excuese~ hideous outrages ;
but nothing ha's been unearthed to
justify the intervention of the United
States authoritiles, or to warrant theme
in delivering tip thousands of Ameri
cant citizens to the tender- mercies of
spies and paid perfie mier."
So-cunlled Orgns of Democra-.

Tt is amusing to not,e the audaoity.
with which certaio newspapers, in the
different sectiens of the Union, -as
i e to mou ul'pieoef the

It is well known that the Democra
