OF MISSOURI.

THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1872.

Will the Colored Yote be Cast for Mr. Greeley I It is almost a waste of words for us to assert that Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown have always been fast and uncompromising friends to human freedom, and to the equality of all men before the law. Can there be a man of ordinary intelligence, in this country, who does not know that, for almost a half century, the great editor of the New York Tribune fearfully and heroically battled the slave power in this country, and urged its final overthrow Is there a man so illy informed in the political history of the past, not to know that Horace Greeley has, on all occasions, and under all circumstances, advocated the inalienable right of all men to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?" Is there one so ignorant he is not informed that upon all these questions, going to advance the interest of the colored men of this country, Mr. Greeley has ever stood the peer ofauyone in the overwhelming arguments with which he maintained their right to all the privileges of American citizenship? Long before the rebellion he denied the right, under the higher laws of our being, of one man to hold another as his slave, and during the whole period of the war, he, more than any one else, urged upon Mr. Lincoln the right, the imperative duty, and the absolute necessity of his issuing a proclamation making all the slaves in this Government free men.

This all being true and who dare deny it with what kind of consistency can the men of color in the coming campaign cast their votes against Horace Greeley? Insensibility to such actB as ho has performed, on the part of the colored men of this country, must certainly shake the contidence of the world in their capacity to govern themselves. Ingratitude of this kind can hardly find a parallel in the history of auy race of men. An ingrate is hardly fit to be a free man.

Suppose the great influence of the New York Iribune, before and during the war, had been exerted in favor of human slavery, is it not a question if slavery would have been abolished? Upon those great issues, suppose Horace Greeley had stood where TJ. S. Grant stood before the war, and where be is known to have stood during most of the progress of that war, can any one say that all in this country would to-day be free and independent men? There is no man in the Republic to whom the colored men of the country owe so much as to Horace Greeley.

And how stood Benjamin G. Brown on those great issues finally settled forever by the war Why, he was the avant coureitr ot all these great questions in the Northwest. As the editor of the Missouri Democrat, living in a slave State, surrounded by all the social influences of the peculiar institution, a native of Kentucky, but a man of large brain and a warm heart, he boldly espoused the cause of freedom and freemen, and fought the slave power with a daring unequaled by auy one this side the mountains. He defied all opposition and advocated what he believed to be right and during and since the war, has been the able champion of equality before the law, to all men, regardless of race, color, or previous condition.

Is it possible that the colored voters of this country will turn their backs on such men? We do not believe they will.

SPECIALS from Washington to the Cincinnati Commercial say: "Practical legislation has ended for this session, whether Congress adjourns this month or not. As reports come in from the various portions of the country, both from Democratic and Liberal Republican sources, indorsing the Cincinnati nominee, the conviction here becomes more profound that a political crisis is at hand. In«eonversation with your oorrespondeut today, Senator Trumbull expressed his enthusiastic approval of the Cincinnati ticket, and said that those who brought it forward builded wiser than they knew. 'Whether,'said he, 'the Democrats ratify that nomination or not, and whether Grant is renominated at Philadelphia or not, the backs of both parties have been broken and a new political party has been created.'

The war of disintegration is now commencing in the President's Court. Before the Cincinnati Conventon, whoever discussed the feasibility of nominating any other candidate than Grant, at Philadelphia, was placed under the ban of party displeasure and advised to leave the regular Republican organization, or else be read out. A new era has dawned in this particular respect. Even Colfax mildly suggests that some steps be taken to prevent a political disruption, while compromise candidates are suggested on all hands.

Henry Wilson has an opinion that he himself could prevent political disintegration, while Colfax is understood as being-impressed-with the conviction that his name at Phila4elpJPda the same effect,

•Messrs. Chandler and Conkling are now about the only well known politicians in either House of Congress who are in ifavor -of »•_ vigorous civil and domestic war on-the Cincinnati nominees and all who. support them.

In the Vice President's room to-day, at the Capitol, there was a conference of leading Republican politicians, including the Vice President himself, to discuss the situation. It was generally conceded that the Cincinnati nominations were hourly growing in strength, and that the only way out of defeat was to nominate some new man at Philadelphia. The four candidates principally canvassed were Blaine, Boutwell, Colfax and Henry Wilson. Forney, who was present, suggests that the Republican party could no1 afford to make the personal warfare upon Greeley which had already been inaugurated, and for one he would not consent to participate in it with his paper. He believed in Greeley's honesty and earnestness, and always admired him. It was suggested that a consultation be had with the President for the purpose of having a free understanding with him on the political situation and the dangers which now menaced the Republican party. Henry Wilson is among those who fully realizes the danger of the present situatioh,and who also favors a change of base at Philadelphia. These conferences now seems to be the order of the day, and emphatically indicate with what seriousness that nomination has now come to be considered which was at first regarded as a stupendous joke."

What Grant Thinks.

It is evident that Grant and his henchmen are not easy with the political prospects. They do not want Greeley to be supported by the Democracy, because they see in that event the handwriting on the wall. The New York World's Washington correspondent thus states the fears and the hopes of Grant: "A prominent Republican Senator, and an earnest friend of General Grant, had a conversation with the President to-day, relative to the Cincinnati Convention and its nominations. The President stated that as the matter now stands he did not think the Cincinnati Convention amounted to much. All depended upon the action of the Democratic party if they indorsed the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention the contest would be at least close. He did not think, however, that the Democrats would take Greeley. He did not see how they could, although the Convention had dodged the tariff question in their platform. He had no idea that the Democrats would do so. That was one of their live issues, and they were not prepared to surrender it. He had great faith that the regular Democratic Convention would meet, that it would nominate a straight ticket, and that the Republicans who shouted for Greeley at Cincinnati would come back to the fold from which they have strayed. This would, he thought, leave Greeley without any support, except alew personal followers and the fight would be between the Republican and Democratic candidates. When it was suggested to the President that perhaps the Democrats would endorse Greeley's nomination, the President simply remarked that that would put a different phase upon the question. But he has no idea the Democrats will do so."

Grant has more philosophy and a better comprehension of the situation than we supposed he could exhibit. It is just as he states, "all depends upon the action of the Democratic party."

JUDGE DAVIS, of Illinois, in a spirit of patriotism, has withdrawn from the Presidential canvass as the candidate of Labor Reformers, and with his friends, will undoubtedly throw his influence for Horace Greeley. Senator Trumbull, Judge Cha^e and General Palmer have also given their adhesion to the nominations, as will, we predict, Charles Francis Adams when he hears of them. On the Democratic side, Senator Hendricks and Mr. Pendleton, whose names had been mentioned in connection with a "straight nomination," are equally pronounced on the same side.

THE Executive Committee of the German Liberal Republicans of New York, held a meeting Monday evening. A formal discu^siou took place, and the general opinion appeared to be that there was nothing objectionable in the platform or nominees. W. Glaubersko, one of the delegates, addressed the committee. He said that since his return he had called on Greeley, who had assured him that if elected he would carry out the principles enunciated in the platform, as they were the same he had adopted all his life.

GEN. GRANT does not believe the Democrats will support Horace Greeley. He feels sure they will nominate a new candidate of their own, and that he thinks will make his own election certain

If the Democracy are anxious to com ply with the wishes of Grant fUe way is open. All that will be necessary is to nominate a new candidate of their own That will make Grant's election certain

THE National Democratic Executive Committee, at its meeting in New York yesterday, resolved to hold the National Convention in Baltimore on the 9th day of July, two mouths from to-day.

THE following congratulatory dispatches have been received by Mr. Greeley

EDGEWOOD,

Saturday, May 4, 1872.

JHy Dear Mr. Greeley congratulate you most cordially upon your nomination by the Cincinnati Convention. The country has recognized emphatically your worthiness and ability and public services, and I am personally gratified that the choice of the Convention fell upon one to 'vhom I am so much indebted, and with whom I am in such thorough agreement upon the great questions of Amnesty and Currency.

To Horace Greeley Your nomination was nof expected, but is most acceptable. You combine more elements of strength than any other man. The Kentucky friends of Senry Clay will rally to the standard of his lite-long supporter, and its Democracy to the earliest advocate of Universal Amnesty. And, as the*nominee is also the unquestioned advocate of an honest and economical administration of the Government, they will lock their shields, and upon them bear you to the seat of power.

RICHARD MTDHOELIZ,

Editor Daily Freie Presse.

Editorial Notices are so common that it is almost impossible for an editor to ex prass bis honest opinion of any article without being suspected of interested motives. This fact, however, shall not deter us from saying what we think of a new addition to the Materia Medica to which our attention has been recently directed. We refer to DK. J. WALKER'S CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTEKS, a remedy which is making its way into more families just now than all the other advertised medicines put together. There seems to be no question about the potency of its tonic and alterative properties, while it possesses the great negative recommendation of containing neither alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is a specific for Indigestion, Billiousness, Constipation, and many complaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know and we are assured on good authority that as a general invigoraut, regulating and purifying medicine, it has no equal, It is stated that its ingredients, (obtained from the wilds of California,) are new to the medical world and its extraordinary effects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If popularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt of the efficiency of of the VINEGAR BITTERS, for the sale of the article is immense and continually increasing.

The History of a National Remedy.— Here is the history of the most celebrated tonic of the age in a nutshell. In 1860 it was announced that a certain combination of vegetable ingredients, with a pure diffusive stimulant, was working wonders in the cure of chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver complaint, periodical fevers, rheumatism and constitutional weakness. The unpretending name given to the specific was PLANTATION BITTERS. The statement attracted the invalids everywhere. The new remedy received a fair trial, and the results more than confirmed all that had been said in its praise. Thenceforward it was a grand success. The business columns of the press spread the glorious news far and wide, and the martyrs to indigestion, billiousness, physical prostration and premature decay, as if by common consent, sought relief from the new vegetable restorative. They found what they sought. Trom that time to the present the increase in the demand for Plantation Bitters has been one of the most striking events in this age.
