There can ie no question rs 10 ''' "e''s,'''
Of the Convention. That IL aifca"! Se''''u

he heartily approved, and the nominations
,,.ac n. Cincinnati either endorsed or ac-
,,,;.sccd in. So that while men wait for the
convention there is no anxiety rs 10 It's "e-
cision.
The most interesting point about the oc-
cu,rcncc will be the large popular Representa-
ton of the States that will he present on the
day outside of the Convention. The SOUTH
crn clubs continue their preparations 'of
going to Baltimore in strong force, beirii'S
with them cmbems Of peace ana national
devotion. They will unqncstonab'y bc met
ty the northern clubs similarly equipped.
ready to interchange the S,utati"!lS OF irieh"-
shin and brotherhood and exchange vows /"
devotion TO county and the Constitution, TO
liberty and equality Of States and people.
This will give to the decision of the Con-
ventiou a moral force, and start the ca'l,c
forward with furorc of public zeal and ell
,h,,siasm which will prove Irresistible. II
will sweep The Union from Maine to the IN"
Gmndc.
Ncycr before were there such motives TO
inspire the hearts of the people with national
and rI7ltcrnal sentiments. We nave laSsc"
through a dreadful civil war. a bloody con
flicl in rr..,rici.lal strife The whole nat"n,
wcaricd and afflicted with its destrl'c'ly"ncS'
and with the war Of passions which has been
cherished and aggravated hy the Govern
mcnt, is anxious To put an cnd 10 aiiIaS'-
uisu and rcC:stabliSh pcacc--pcac@ between
the sections and peace between Tire Govern
mrnt and the people. The opportunity Is
offered. and there will be more feeling ana
passionate joy in accepting it than VA cT''
before displayed inthr history of the r"i'hifS.
The restraint now cxcrtcd, 10 which ""
have before alluded, will only help to s"@ii
the imuulsivc wave that will break forth ii
Baltimore. Liberal Republicans i'll tho"-
sands wait for the action Of the Convention,
not willing to proclaim themselves until he
question as to whether the fight shall l'c be-
tween GRA.:r and GREELEY is no longer M
Omen one. Among those, we believe, arc
members of Congress. Leading Democrats
also await the action of the Convention.
These people want no mistakes. They are
cautious for reasons satisfactory to them |
selves but when they are at liberty to pro-
claim themselves they will do so brarcly,
and will thcncciorward help in the great
struggle for the salvation of the country
from military tyranny.
Three weeks will be soon over, and the
hi. event will follow. All eyes are turned
upon The Convention, and the hopes OF the
great body Of the people are centred upon il.
The GRANT PARTY feel also II deep concern
about it. They regard it with fear. and
trembling; for its wise action will seal their
doom.
