Wo givo in this issue of tlio Alious as full an abstract of the proceedings of the National Democratie Convontion as our columns will permit, oniitting tho full lista of offioers, committees, and minor matters. In the organization of the Convention Michigan raen wero placed as follows : Vw-President- E. H. LOTHRor, of StJoseph. Secretary- Hexry M. Look, of Oakland. On C'ommittee on Credential - FlDUS LlVERMORE, of Jaekson. On Permanent Organization. - JoiIIT J. KoBISOJf, of "Washtenaw. On Resolutions-lñXKO M. Crane, of Eaton. To inform candidato of their nominntion - Geoboe H. Bruce, of Iienawee. Member of National Committee- Wm. A. MocR"E, of AVayne. Chairman of Del-egation - Hun. J. G. SUTHERLAND, of Saginaw. In tho meeting of tho Michigan delegation, held beforu the organization of the oonvention, a vote being taken for candiduteR, the entire delegation except Messrs Hawley and Bbiqgs, of the firek district' votert for Qkf.ei.E? and Brown, tliose gentlemen for Groesbeck and Hancock. Messrs. LOOK and Schafer, originally op)O3el to accopting the Cincinuati cnndidates made speeches, and gave tïyeir reasone for their conversión, and tho first district dolegates yielded their preferences, chsuiged their votes, and made tho delegaticn unaiiimous. - As will bo 8een by tho proceedings of the coiivöntion TIORACE Gkeeley, of New York, and B. Gratz Bhown, of Missouri, the cnn(iidatp!i of tho Cincinnati Convention of Liberal Republicans, were ur.aiiiinounly nominated lor Jf resident and Vico President. We, thereforo, in accordance with our previously declared policy, place their namos at tho head of our columns end invite for them the votes and support of the Democracy of Washtenaw County. They were üot our choice, they mayifot be your choice, - but to vjithhold Oer rote or support is to lend our influ ence to Grant and Wilsojt, and little though that may be it shall novor be given in that direction. Wo regard the defeat of Gbant neoessary tothe best intnrests of the country, we regard his election as tho death-blow to individual and State rights, and as between him and Gtieei.ky - and no othir choice is now left us - we can not hesitate for a moment. And in ohoosirig Greelfa" we shall co-perate with, or follow the lead of such trusted Deinocrats as CrEOlu:: 1. Ii'Cl-ELLAX, who marshalod the Democratie hosts in 1864-; of Hora-tio RETMOUB. the chosen leader iï lCft ; of Thomas A. Hf.xdiucks, and Wn.ciAM 8. Gboesheck, and Senator TllVHMAN,' aAd Gov. HOMMAX, and ex-Gov. EAXDOLni, and hundrods of others whoni the Dcmocracy have delighted to honor, alid wboui no one will dare charge with boing Éraitors to Democracy or their country. Can not the Domocracy of Washtenaw forget personal preforences, old-time antipathios, Jartian enmities, and follow th üaine road. " Gr;mtism" and the Grant military-political ring, a corrupt, despotic, cei-tralizing ring, eau only be driven froni power by a general rally of the Democracy to tho support of Gueeley and Browx. And so we mergn our individual choice as :i Dom" ocrat, in our duty as a citizen, accept the decisión of tho National Democratie Convention, and strike for Gkeeley and Bi:ow Let all Democrats and all peace, union, and liherty loving Republicans say amen. The iVfi! Ptttt yesterday, in a doubli leaded leader, announced tbat it will no support Gkeei.ey and Brovtx, and advised all Demócrata to withhold their voes, or in effect to vote for Graxt. The Free Press was one of the earliest advocates of the " p8sive polioy," ond favored at one time the holding of no Demo oratie National Convention. It then advocated the Cincinnati Convention, anc favored, if we did not misunderstand its loaninga, the oandidacy of Charles Fhaxcis Aiam. Later, it took strong .ground agiiinst the Cincinnati movement, cautioned Demoorats to keep hands off, and ropudiated, as it had a right to do, its oandidates. So far it was cloarly exeroising its reserved rights a6 a Democratie journalist, though its ehange o) front from the "passive policy" wns hard to bo understood. But its last position places it in direct opposition to the Democraoy of the country, and can not be reconcilod with an honest desire to beat Ghant. If it bas no such desire no Democrat in the State ehould follow its lead or listen to its advice. It is the sheerest nonsenso to talk of laboring for tho defeat of Gkf.eley " in the true interoRfs of the oountry and the Democracy" - it is ithor Guf.elky or O bakt, and neither the Democracy nor the country are to be benefited by Grant's re-election. The Vree Press is on thp wrong track and will have to part frionds with its old Deruooratio admirara and supporter. - Tho Chicago Times also refuses to support Greeley and Biunvx. This can not be bocauso thcy are Republicana, becauso it was an éarnest laborcr for tho nouiiniitijn of Judge Davis at Cincinnati, and since Ciiieiiinati has udvised the lujinination of Charles Praxcis Adam at Baltimoro. It8 opposition, like Unit of tl il" !■':■■ Vrett, must, therefore, be raerely personal, and being so should not iniluencu its Democratie subscribers. - Wo hcarof ji o ot hor promiiifiit Democratie journal, save Pomekoy's kruncrut, oppooing Urkkluy and ?BOWN. Tue article copied into anothor column from the Free Pret), headod " A desperate Strftit,' appeared in that jourtial before it repudiated tho action of the Domocratic National Convention and inlisted undcr th bauncr of " Grantisin."
