Baltimore is full of strangers, and the cry is
still they come. The heat is excessive and there
is not much comfort to be found in the crowded
hotels, But who ever did find any comfort at a
National Convention? Cannot some other
method be devised for the nomination of our
future Prssident2
Mr. Greeley will be nominated on the first bal
lot. To-day, six hundred and tifty-three votes
are counted as sure for him, with fair pros
pect that 1t may be unanimous.
The delegation from Delaware and small
portion of that from Pennsylvania constitute
about tho only opposition against him, Some OF
the Pennsylyanians wish to so back to Jefferson,

ark, but their voices will be entirely drowned in
the general shout for Greeley, and the New

"He Means Well"

Our friends think also that Mr.. Greeley means
well Perhaps he ment well when he encour-
aged and justified secession-when he "nagged"
President Lincoln to buy peace-when he
promoted foreign intervention-when he grave
iy perplexed Mr. Lincoln by his Niagara perfor--
mances-when he complained to Mr.. Seward
long ago that he had not been rewarded with
am oliice-when he half-apologized for Sweeney
and Tweed-whenever he has done anything
which showed his fatal want of Judgment Had
he been President instead of Lincoln he might
have meant we'll in sunendGring to the rebellion
Do our friends think it enough to mean WE'LL il
you have no judgment?
