DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

EARNEST AND HARMONIOUS AssEMBLAGE.
RESULT OF TIE FIRST DAYS sEssIoN-A MAJOR
ITY OF THE DELEGATES IN FAVOR OF RE-
FoRM-THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM ENDORSED
STRONG LIBERAL ELEMENT IN THE PRO-
POSED BALTIMORE DELEGATION.
EBY TELEGRAPH TO THB rRIBUEEl
ROCHESTER, May 15.-The action of the Conyen-
ton to-day seems to be involved in q slight OBJ
security. For instance the men who most strongly
desired Democratic coalition in the Liberal Repub-
lican movement are content with the friendly tone
Of the resolutions, and accept them all that the
occasion demands. They assert that the Liberal
Republicans have an independent organization, and
that any stronger expression Of this Convention
would seem TO great body Of the party like a
final REIMBURSEMENT Of the Democracy, whereas
the coalition which must present almost an
equal array Of Republicanism, should derive its
whole strenth from the efforts of the two parties
irevocably bent on reform. The whole work Of the
day. it is claimed indicates the honesty and sincerity
Of the Democracy TO join hands with the Liberal
Republicans, and to accept in good faith the results
of the Cincinnati Convention.
The nomination Of Mr.. Kinsella to the Presidency
Of the Convention, who advocates the Endorsement
of the Liberal Ticket, and the approval of his
speech with his subsequent confirmation as per-
manent Chairman, are indications that the Dem
ocracy are alive to the needs of the hour, and
capable of tho sacrifice that may be demanded.
The drift of the debate and the confessed approval
of the Liberal principles denote, beyond question,
as the Reform Democrats claim, the final right action
Of the party, when the proper time shall have
come.
As to the resolutions not being explicit enough to
suit all the Reformers claim that the course pur-
sued to-day was really the only that the party
could consistently pursue. The demand had been
made for an Endorsement of Greeley and Brown as
the choice of the Convention. This demand had been
theoretically pressed, but it must be remembered
that the very thing that makes the Cincinnati candi
dates strong with Liberal Republicans-their pro-
nounced Repubhcanism-tO q certain extent makes
them more difficult for the Democracy to settle upon
at once In fact plead the spokesman of this class,
the Democracy must get accustomed to Republicans
of this strong type before they embark in the battle
of reform and commit the National Convention to
their support.
On the whole the men interested in the success of
reform accept this first days work as wisely done,
and hope that the Convention may end its labOrs as
discreetly as it has begun. The timid element has
been frankly concated, and so far as possible none
have been over ridden by the camoss of the ma
jority. Tho resolutions give the Democracy the
largest latitude in its action at Baltimore, and the
believers in Cincinnati satisfied that the New
York Democracy will not disappoint the friends of
reform under the impulse of this meeting.

AMERICAN SECURITIES FIRMER-0PINIONS OF
THE LONDON PRESS.
LONDON, Wednesday, May -, 1872
The Message Of President Grant to the United
States Senate submitting the proposed additional
Article to the Washington Treaty relative to the in
direct claims serves to reassure the public that the
differences between the two nations will be honora-
bly, settled The publication Of the Message has
had an effect upon the market for American secWi-
ties. which is now frmer than at the opening.
The following extracts show the spirit Of the Lon
don press to-day on the Treaty question. The Daily
Ne,cs says 'All eyes in England are turned to the
American Senate. We have done our duty The last
hope remaining is that the decision has been con-
fided to body always holding the highest place
for gravity and wisdom" The Morning Post and
Daily Telegraph sanguine that patriotism
will overrule politics, and the Treaty will survive.
The Standard remarks I've have made sacrifices
enough. Let the Senate reject the Treaty amend
ment 1t is not our fault if the American Consttu-
ton is defective or the Government weak nor is 1t
our loss if we are released from liability incurred
out Of exaggerated Difference toward kindred high
spirited, but exacting people" The Times makes no
allusiOn to the subject to-day.

omitted for the reason that they refer TO pending

in confidence. 1t was not known at the
time the correspondence to which refer

that the entire information on the subject had
already acquired newspaper publicity. Some OF the
Senators to-day on hearing that the correspondence
had been thus published, declared they would move

MADEIRA, July, 1871.
GENTLEMEN,

GENTLEMEN,
The present position Of the Madeira
Wine Trade fully %justifies the prospective
review which we submitted to your atter1-
tion in our Circular of January last. Both
as regards quality and quantity last years
Vintage was everything that could be de-
sired, the Wines having quite recovered
their former excellency, and the produce
of the vines having been equal to the most
sanguine expectations of ourselves and
other shippers.
1t will be easily understood that, holding
the position in the Island which our House
does, enables us to command, year by year,
most, if not all, of the produce of the finest
vineyards. We can thus easily keep up
the respective qualities of oil our Wines;
our three and four years. old, as also our
we'll known London Particular" which
in time become Reserved" Wines, as
they attain greater age and maturity.
Making our own Wines, it has always
been our custom to buy very largely 10
Must, we can consequently guarantees the
quality Of every cask bearing our brand;
aud our customers may rely upon no efforts
being spared to Keep up the. good name
which we have borne as Madeira shippers
during the last 126 years.
The best proof OF the r%eviving taste for
Madeiras lies in the exports from the Is
land which, from January to June this
year, more than equal those from January.
to December last, the result, no doubt, Of
the fine duality Of the late vintages, com
bined with the moderate prices at which
they are now placed in the market. 1t is
apparent, therefore, that only o little skill
ful relocating" on the part Of Houses like
yourselves, who. are in DIRECT communica-
ton with consumers, is required to place
the. trade on its old and prosperous foot
ing. The Wine is, as all will admit, q fine
one, and if the public could but be taught
the fallaoy of the prevalent belief that
'true" Madeifa is only obtainabIe at fabu-
Ious prices, its present cheapness must
bring it into it's fair and rightful competi-
ton with Sherries at similar prices.
We remain,
GENTLEMEN,
Yours faithfully
