COLONEL T. j. RANDOLPH.
A Baltimore telegram in the New York
Tribune says: /" Mr.. Belmont proposed the
name of Thomas Jefferson Randolph, oil Yir-
ginia, for temporary chairman. AS the old
man rose and went forward to the cinirmans
table, the Convention received him with
great applause, which continued several
seconds. To see him standing there, tower
inc above all who were about him-iOr he is
more than six and a half feet tall-was al
most like having one Of the Democratic
| fathers Of revolutionary days come, back To
preside i'm convention Of their sons. No
| more fitting choice could have been made at
| this time, when the regeilerated Democracy
are turning from the rast and looking for
ward to n brighter and better future.
Not only does Colonel Randolph,
| the oldest member of the Convention,
| bring toi long experience and the prestige
| of two illustrious names, bat one Of the
most creditable records in the cause OF free
| dom of any OF VirSinia's noblesons. Forty
years ago, before 'abolitionisn had taken
| root in the North, he was an ardent advo-
| cate of emancipation in his own State, and
one of the leaders in the movement to that
end there. Philadelphia called to preside
over its denomination Convention an ex-
Confederate, whose Republican and Union
record is not yet ten years old, ana went
wild over GerTit Smith, the old Aboiitionlst
of New York. The Reform Democracy do
honor to a man whose advocacy Of emanci-
patton dates further back than that OF any
member of Grants Convention.
Mr.. Randoph'S speech was a model of
beauty and good taste, and contained some
very good advice for the young Democrats,
who make up the bulk OF the Convention"

Mr.. Chamberayne, of the Petersburg In
der. tclegNphs to his paper from Baltimore !:
This. however, must be said. This call
upon the Virginia delegation is an lnten-
iional and Il great compliment to our mother
State, and is evidently designed to do honor
to her and to her position i'll the present con-
| fest. Indeed for. that matter, our lcadquar-
ters seem to form laroritc centre. Indlllla,
| Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas,
and almost every State you can name, nave
sent delegates to c,ll on us, and this after
noon the Illinois delegation came up IN a
body. In short. we have every reason to
congratulate our beloved State on the recog-
milton which the country-,this great coun-
try-sccms bent on paying to her" .,...
vIKGINIA-TnE NAME OF LEE.
A few States were honOTCd with loud
cheers, anon. them Virginia, New York,
MARYLAND, and several others. The name OF
I'itzhu.h Lee, who WIS nominated by Fir-

received with more enthusiasm than that of

| BIZ. BoCoCK'S SPEECH.
In the Baltimore Convention, in casting
the vote Of Virginia. Mr.. Bocock said: "
| "Nirginia desires to SiGnalize, in the most
emphatic manner, her cordial approval OF
and sympathy with the great movement of
paccaton and liberation which was inall-
gurltcd at Cincinnati, which is now pushed
on by great outhurst Of public sentiment,
and which will meet glorious ratification
| by the brilliant election triumph which we
are TO have in November next; and would
not now say anything further hut for the fact
that feel mpclled by the remarks ofthc gem
tlelnan from New York (AIr. Hoifman) to say a
| 10 h.lEp
shown some little reluctance to take part in
this great movement | would say to them
that Virginia stood by them and sympathizcd
with them in the dark days of the past. Viz
ginia felt for them and acted with them then,
and now that the glorious dawn OF better
day is Frightening the eastern sky, we appeal
| to or friends from Mississippi. Kentucky,
| and elsewhere to come forward and take
| their position with Virginia. fight this fight
out side by side with her, and share with her
| in the great triumph which we are to have
at the polls in November next. [Applausc.
And now, as the strongest evidence she can
| give of her sympathy with this movement,
| Virginia casts her twenty-five votes for
Horace Greeley, of New York. [Appausc.]
