The war record of the new democratic lib
eral candidate for Governor of New York
Francis Kiernan-is about as might have been
expected. lie was member of the State AS
sembly in 1861, when Fort Sumter was at
tackled, when Washington was threatened
with treason, and the rebel standard raised
against the life Of the Union. When the bill
was introduced to raise ten thousand troops
AID appropriate three millions of dollars, in
response to the call of the President, Mr. kier-
nan denounced the act as unconstitutional
and tyrannical. He refused by his votes. not
only in the State Legislature but in the House
of Representatives at Washington, to aid in
any measure calculated to discourage treason
and put down rebellion. He carried out his
RECONCILIATION" principles little earlier
than some of his present political friends,
that's all.
The loss of the steamship America seems
to be still enshrouded in mystery. The dis
patches of Thursday, from Nagasaki, Japan,
the Company believe to be false, as that point
is 700 miles beyond Yokohama, where the
vessel was burned The story of the loss of
life is therefore discredited. 1t seems not
unlikely that the dispatches from Nagasaki,
which we're both Specials may have been
the work of stock jobbers. Under this the
ory, it is probable that they originated in New
York or London, and that they are a forgery,
date and all. 1t is painful that so much un-
certainty should remain in regard to the fate
of the passengers and crew, and that the
kept in such suspense. Further and more re-
liable intelligence will be awaited with intense
interest.

that day Without POs pOneme mt, the ma age
ruent notifies all who expect to participate in
the drawing that they should buy their tickets at
once. Delay for II few days caused many who
wanted tickets at the concert in December last to
go without them. Some living In Louisville waited
until sales were closed expecting doubt, post.
pont ment, and then offered fifteen, twenty, and
even IL enty five dollars for tickets which the day
before offered to purchasers at the regular
price. Others living at n distance sent thousands
of dollars by mali and express, which got here.
after sales were closed. and had to be sent back
These disappointments need not occur again, If the
warning now given in due season is needed.

The Raltimore CONVENTION.

The Democratic National Convention
will assemble tomorrow at Baltimore.
1t promises 70 be largo in numbers, but
whether harmonious and united remains
to be seen. Its conceded on all hands
that the nominations made OF Clncin.
natl will be accepted, and that the Con.
vention will nominate no ticket Of its
own, There is q diversity of opinion
among delegates and the Democratic press
as to tho manner Of the endorsement to
be given to Cincinnati. Some favor simp.
ly refraining from any nominations; otherI
merely recommending the Cincinnati
nominees to the support Of the Democra.
cy; and others still want to give them a
formal nomination. The latter course Is
deemed byitsadyocates necessary to insure
GREELEY an united Democratic support;
while It's opponents say that to thus make
him the Democratic nDmine will drive
away many Of bis Republican supporters.
The argument in favor Of merely "pass.
ing" or oil recommending the Cincinnati
nominees, Is thatlt leaves Mr.. GREELEY
the candidate of the Liberal Republicans
and will increase his strength in the ranks
of the Republican party; while the objec-
ton to it Is that Democrats left with
out q nominee Of their own might stray
to a dangerous extent into the GRANT
fold.
A convention Of anti GREELEY Demo.
Gratis is called to meet in Baltimore at
the same time, to organize a bolters'
movement in the event Of GREELEY's
nomination. How formidable this may
prove does not yet appear. 1t Is pretty Ger.
tain, however, that the Baltimore Conven.
ton will have its troubles, and II they
are overcome there by q kind and
amount Of officiating unprecedented in
the history of parties, those troubles will
only be RENTED to the party at large,
which Is not united or harmonious over
the prospect Of being saddled with GREE
LEY and the Cincinnati platform. The
surrender is too unconditional; the trans.
formation too complete. After the bargain
at Baltimore has been consummated and
Democrats have had time toreaect over
their acquisition-aiter they have read up
GREELEY's record down to his latest de.
clarations, and have carefully studied the
Cincinnati platform and his letter OF &C.
ceptance paraphrasing it-they must
come to the conclusion that it would be a
little less humiliatlng to JON the Republl.
can party at once and vote Tor GRANT.

THE Cincinnati Commercial, as a sup,
porter Of Mr.. GREELEY, advises the Bal;
timore Convention to content itself with
an endorsement Of the Cincinnati platform
and his letter Of acceptance and mere
recommendation Of GREELEY and BROWN
to Democratic support. ITO gofurther,"
argues the Commercial, twill be interpret.
ed as an attempt to D the Lib.
eral Republican movement, and drive
from the support Of the ticket a multitude
of voters who will vote for GREELEY and
Brown only upon the assurance that they
represent the best phase Of progressive
Republicanism, and not the doubtful I'd.
vancement Of conservatism that moves
only under the prick and goad Of accom-.
plished facts and hard political necessi-
ties," This may be very well from one
point Of view, but in saving Republican
supporters for GREELEY by thus refrain.
ing from an actual nomination of him at
Baltimore, there is danger Of losing an
equal or greater number of Democratic
supporters. 1t Is argued by some that
unless the Convention makes direct
nomination Of GREELEY and BROWN,
thousands Of Democrats who would rec.
ognize party obligation to support such
u nomination, would in the absence Of II
feel absolved from all party allegiance
and free to exercise their personal choice
which may be either to stay OF home Oh
toVote for Grant US better DemOcra,
than GREELEY.

A WORD OF CAUTIoN.-In addition to
the delegation from West Virginia, we
doubt not many visitors from the State,
and particularly from this city, will visit
Baltimore to witness the sittings Of the
Convention. As a matter Of ordinary
prudence, persons visiting Baltimore at
this time, especially If they expect to stay
a dayior two, should be vaccinated or be
sure they are already protected by vac.
cination against the contagion Of small
pox, we have information through both
private and public channels that the dis.
case is widely prevalent in Baltimore,
though the utmost pains have been taken
to keep the fact from becoming generally
known. Washington city also is full OIL
smallpox; and there is real danger that
the great crowd that will visit those cities
the coming week will spread the con-
tagion into many and distant parts Of the
country. H"

HENRY A. WISE, Of Virginia, has
written a long letter on the Presidency
wherein he declares that the nomination
of GREELEY at Baltimore Twill be the
knell of the Democratic Party's doom"
He thinks the purpose is to resurrect in
the South q party of so.callcd "Conserya.
tives", made up and controlled by those
who were once Old FederAlists, Old Line
Wings, and Know Nothings, to the utter
extinction of Democracy pure and simple.
This view of the case appears to be
shared by other gentlemen who cling
like Mr.. WISE to the ideas of Jefferson
Democracy-such men in, this State, for
example, as Hon. JOHN j. DAVIS, who
utterly refuses to pledge himself to sup.
port GREELEY. These men perceive that
after the acceptance of the Cincinnati
platform and four years of GREELEY, the
Democratic party, according to their
ideas of what. it should be, will never
more have part 10 American politics.
