At last there is a spontaneous over
flow of unsectarian Christianity against
the atrocities inflicted on the unfortu-
nate Jews of Roumania and Bessarabis.
In England Lord Shaftesbury of the Low
Church, the Bishop of Gloucester of the
High Church, Dean Stanley and the
Bishop of Peterborough of the Broad
Church parties, have spoken out against
the persecution. These Christian gen.
tlemen, overcoming their prejudices, ex-
pressed their profound veneration and
love for the Jewish people, and declared
that the outrages were a disgrace not
only to civilization bat to Christianity,
and demanded from the British Govern
ment Jewish protection against future
wrongs. The civilized world is becom-
ing disguised with the acts of the So
called Christians of Roumania.

THE BALTIMORE NOMINEES.

The adoption of the Cincinnati Libe-
raj Republican platform and the unani-
nous nomination of Greeley and Brown
nv the Democratic Convention at Balti-
more yesterday, was one of the most
startling, although not unexpected
avents that has ever occurred in this
country. The Democratic party, num-
boring nearly three millions Of voters,
through its seven hundred and thirty
two delegates assembled in convention
abandoned the time-honored custom Of
selecting a straight-out Democratic can
didate, and went over in body to Libe-
raj Republicanism in order to get rid o.
our evil" the man on horseback. Az
development of pure and unadulteratec
patriotism this act stands without com
parison in politics. In this movement
Tennessee fred the first gun, and State
after State wheeled into line and rallied
around the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention. The Democratic party has
probably laid down its life for the good
of the country, and no doubt the Liberal
Republican movement will develop a
new party, composed Of the leading and
honest men of both sections, who will
march onward to victory beneath the
bright banner of reform. Anything
10 beat Grant seems to be the trite
motto Of the day, and within these
brief words exists principle worthy
of patriots. 1t is a determination
to reconstruct the country on a proper
basis; to put down robbery; destroy
every vestige of tyranny; to drive
from official positions the Shiny
reptiles that have crawled into high
places of trust and profit; to place the
Government in the hands of honest men,
and to establish an era Of good feeling
throughout the Union. There is no
longer such a thing in existence as a
Democratic party, yet the Democratic
creed, like truth itself, is indestructible.
We are now working side by side with
the Liberal Republicans-men who have
come forward and invited us to aid them
in defeating the Washington oligarchy.
The South is a unit for Greeley and
Brown, and will elect them. The Gree
ley strength in the North is sufficient to
carry many Of the States, which added
to the heavy vote Of the South will place
Mr.. Greeley in the White House. The
people of both sections have sacrificed
their prejudices upon the altar Of pure
patriotism. Mr.. Greeley is Republi-
can, the very antipodes of Grant, whose
corrupt oppressive and military style Of
doing business has disguised and startled
the people. The Democratic National
Convention having Endorsed the Cincin-
natl ticket, it is incumbent upon every
Democrat to support it to the last.
