NEWS FROM THE FRONT.



Pho news canlc flashing over the wires
Oh yesterday that the Baltimore Convcn-
ton, with singular unanimity, nominated
Greeley and Brown--thus adopting the
candidates and the platform Of the LIB
cral party No one Of average intcHi-
gcnce Is surprised at thisaction, and hun
drcds of thousands, of good Democrats
all over the land will rejoice 10 hear this
result. "The die Is cast, the. rt;bioon is
crossed We, as good and true Dem
ocrats, desiring a VIC do, the welfare of
our whole country inpreicrcnce tomcn
and measures, have put our shoulders TO
the wheel, our harris to the handles of
the plow, and there Is no turning, nor
must there I've, hack from the Path upon
which VIC have set out. We knew full
we'll before the Convention met, that the
result to-day made known as a solemn
fact, would be effected. We indeed re-
joice to know that such thing has been
accomplished, and that now as has been
so well ard elcquently said by another,
1--WE today clasp hands across thebloody
chasm made by the war; In no other
way could We have so well doneit. We
stand, to-day, BIZ .he action of our Ma
tional Democratic Cdsyenticn, pledged
10 support our JiberafNellies in their
,rtss cf'rts TO throw OF the yoke which
has bound, and the chains which have
Nttered us a people; mdeserving the
calling of that yoke and the clanking of
those chains. Wedo not deny-for that
would be hypocrisy-that we should
greatly preferred a Democratic nominee,
had il been in our power to have elected
him; but as VIC had no such power, was
il not far better to unite our strength
with the Liberal host who have deolar-
ell it to be their intention in good
faith, 10 restore our country, and |
AL her people, to that estate which |
they possessed and glorifed in before
the war was? Thus believing, We have
done what We could to effect the re-
suit Of the convention which closed its
labors so recently in Baltimore. Of
course there were some in that patriotic
body who did not approve its action, but
We rejcite 10 know that they only represent
- nawe earnestly hopot
that before the day set apart by their
leaders, wiser and better counsels viii
prevail, and that they will fall into our
lines and battle with and for US against
common enemy. Why should they not
90 so? What have they to gain or ex-
pect by failure to do so? Is it possible
that any sane man believes that the little
remnant of delegates at Baltimore, who
went on into a separate conclave, and
Passed distinct resolutions, has power to
call about its support any serious aid? If
so, whyf Have they already forgotten
tie lessons Of the recent past-the less
cns of all such disaffected minorities?
We beg them, in Code name-in the
name of party and of principle-of their
cwn god, to pause for calm moment
and duly consider the error of their ways!
The day has come, at last, thank God,
in which men, in their wild hunt for Z
Office, seem willing to sacrifice self for !,
the good OF their country. Otherwise,
the result at Baltimore might have been Z
far different. We rejoice to know that '
il was left to the Democratic party to lay /,
aside all party animosity and party pride !,
and declare, in solemn council, that they
preferred the glory and success of their
country to fae glory and advancement of s.
her leaders.
Fellow Democrats, You know your
luty. Cur feeble pen cannot do more a.
han TO urge you TO perform it with a a
night and patriotism worthy of our dead !,
heroes.
