The Bourbon Convention.

BALTIMORE, July 10.-The anti-Greeley Dem
Ocratic Convention met at o clock. The follow
ing gentlemen were nominated by the Commit
tee on Permanent Officers:-President, Samuel
J. Bayard, of New York; Vice Presidents, S.
e. +. Stokes, of South Carolina, Jas. Sweeney,
of Pennsylvania, Ezra Keyser, of Texas, and
Jesse Miller, of West Virginia; Secretaries,
Jas. G. Underwood, of Connecticut, end S. j.
Chute, of New York The report was adopted
Mr.. Bayard, on taking the chair, said this
Convention was here to-day to resent the foul
conspiracy formed some time ago for the de-
struction of the Democratic party, and which
is now eliminating at the Opera House. This
Convention represents che vast masses of DEM
ocrats whose voice is not to be heard there.
Those here present will continue to hold up the
old flag, and if the conspirators throw it down
we will take it up and bid defiance to the out
rage sought to be perpetuated. Political coali-
tions have never succeeded Coalitions are
founded on bargain and sale, but we cannot tell
who the buyers and the akers are but the
faint will remain. When Greeley was nomi-
mated at Cincinnati a howl of contempt every
where took place, but combinations took place.
Paper after paper hoisted signal of distress
and want over to his support, and now we see
the result in the proceedings at the Opera House
in the nomination of Greeley and Brown. r1
The Committee appointed yesterday present.
ed an address to the Democracy of the United
States, in which they severely arraign the
Democratic party, saying that they have aban-
and accept in their stead those that are alto
gether unreconcilable and conflicting.
The Convention here assembled is not bound
by the action of the Opera House Con-
svention, whose action should be spurned by all
true Democrats. The address recommends the
formation of Democratic associations through
out the country to stop the general detection
from the true Democratic party, and that a
call be issued for National Democratic Con-
vention to be held at Louisville on the Sd of
September. .l.-..r -.lrrts
Mr.. Bettey of New York, said thes should
not make a nomination at the present time
He wanted true Democrat as candidate for
President, 7ifr
A resolution was offered and adopted for the
appointment of Committee to secure the at
tendance of delegates to a National Conven-
ton at Louisville. -s t.,- ~
A series of resolutions recommending certain
things to the National Convention were laid on
the table and the Convention adjourned.

Remarks-There is very little improvement to mo-
tice, and both in the interior and the seaboard
buyers not disposed to operate to any extent.-
With some % 600 900 Tbs of foreign in bond in
Boston and New York, and large arrivals of foreign
expected during the next three months from the pur
chases at the London sales, manufacturers are dis
posed to hold back as much possible, and very gem
orally decline paying tho extreme prices asked for the
new clip of the West. The market is well supplied
with California but the stock is held above the views
of buyers. - q a-+.H - N
In Philadelphia the market continues dull, owing
In measure to the difference between the views of
holders and buyers. The want of desirable old Wool
has caused manufacturers to run chiefly on low WOOL
ems, and there is probably surplus of this class in
the principal markets on the seaboard, but there
must be deficiency in the country corresponding
with the stOppage of machinery; of desirable Wool
there Is evidently scarcity in the country, which is
not yet felt nor will it be until the autumn trade be-

"reminiscences of the late misunderstanding
were brought up when the band of the Mary
land militia, an ex-rebel regiment, played
Dixie" which it did three times, intersper rising
it with the ''Bonnie Blue Flag" Maryland, any

ever applause broke out the well remembered
''hoot-owP' yell of the Johnnie" rising above
the cheers of the Northern delegates.
The name of Fitz Hugh Lee elected tenn
pest of these yells, in which the Northern men
dutifully joined,as soon as they found out what
it was all about. ..sss %, ID s,Eaa
The representatives of the press are Justly
indignant at the wretched accommodations pro-
yided for them in the Opera House, and yester-
day at the noon recess some 200 got together
and passed resolutions denouncing the treat

not general and there is still good deal of looking

the manufacturing towns, and the production is now
about up to the usual average at this season.

Mr. Hale now show their devotion to principle
by repeating the rest of the history of 1866 in
1872?
1 believe they will, but whether they do or
not, the Republican voters of this district have
made up their minds that Mr. Hale is entitled
to a reelection and he will get it.
1 am glad to learn that the larger part of the
opposition to Mr.. Hale in Waldo which before
the Convention was proper and right, will give
Mr.. Hale the support to which he is so justly en-
titled. MessrS. Knowlton, McGilvery, and Milli-
ken declare that they will stand by Republican
ism. 'a
In this section Mr. Hale is deservedly popu-
lar and any movement against him, wheth-
er organized in the relentless hate of disgrun-
tied office seekers or by the old foe under the
Greeley mask, will get only the Democratic
strength.
At no time was Mr.. Pike ever so popular in
this section as is Mr. Hale, and his name will
give strength to our ticket. RoCKLAND.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The Times of the morn
ing IN leader based on the assumption that
the baltimore Convention will nominate Gree
ley and Brown, announces its adherance to its
views heretofore expressed in regard to Gree
iey and says it cannot and will not espouse his
cause or labor for his election.
1t says Greeley is now the candidate Of the
Democratic party, as far as he can be made
such-a fact which it regards as hard one, but
which cannot be ignored. 1t is also fact that
mat the choice OF the people must be either for
Greeley or Grant. The question as to how
Democrats shall vote in this contingency, the
Times says, is one to be decided by the indiyid-
ual voters themselves, inasmuch as the Balti-
more Convention has not placed the Democrats
under the slightest obligations to vote for Gree
ley, one of the worst embodiments of radical
Ism the country has ever known.
1t concludes by promising vigorous support
to the reform candidates for State officers and
congressman

Mr.. Pray of Ind, offered resolution to pro-
coed to vote by States for candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-PreSident. "a ~
Mr.. Cox of n. Y, offered an amendment pro-
vidng that on the calling of each State its
chairman shall state how the delegation votes
and his statement alone shall be taken. The
amendment was adopted by the mover OF the
original resolution and the latter adopted.
Mr.. Snowbrook of ILL.,, presented the name Of
Horace Greeley. Cheers I'D '-t go
The roll was called ON the Presidential nom
ination. Each vote for Greeley was received
with cheers.
The ballot resulted: First ballot, Greeley

the vote of New York her delegation responded
with three cheers 4--
Missouri's promise to give Greeley the largest
majority of any State in the Union, and said
New YOrk's majority would be larger than Mis-
souri's total vote. He also expressed his regret
that there had been any division of the vote
here. He knew those who did not vote for
Horace Greeley were acting consciously, but
he desired to appeal to them. New York is
Democratic State; it had more than four hum
dred thousand Democratic votes, and when
these were ready to sacrifice personal prefer
ences and preudiceS on the altar of the coun-
try, he hoped their brethren elsewhere would
do the same. .ts I'D o.. f,H it.s gs,f =
After the chair had announced the result of
the ballot Mr.. Wallace of Pennsylvania took
the platform and was received with cheers. He
said in obedience to division of public senti-
ment in his State their delegation has cast part
of their vote against the gentleman, who by
usages and customs of the Democratic patty, is
now its nominee for the Presidency. They
would yield to this decision and accept the re-
suit which this great high court of appeal of the
party had decreed. 7.l. TO- ~ ~ ''f -

able arrangements of Mr.. w. H. Turner, the
Superintendent of the Portland and Rochester
railroad, there was no delay whatever and the
train arrived promptly on time. At Rochester
the Portland bretheren were met by the Me-

Band, and escorted to Odd Fellows Hail. At
ter the party had arrived in front of the hall,

Grand Commander, George b. Roberts, who
welcomed the visitors in few eloquent and APP
propriate remarks which were responded to by
Past Grand Sire Josiah Fl. Burleigh of Ligonia
Lodge, Portland, in an equally happy manner.
At the close of Mr. Burleighs remarks, lemon

and delicious beverage was quickly disposed of

NEWPORT, July 10.-The excitement over the
seizure of the Cuban privateer has not yet sub
sided. The collector of customs, s. w. Macy,
received a telegram from Secretary Boutwell,
this morning to hold the vessel at all hazards
till further orders. The vessel lies in the stream

ban flag at the peak. Af
A secret meeting of the friends of the Cuban
revolutionists was held in hall on Thames ST.
last night, continuing until o'clock this morn
ing. Thirty people were present. PROPOSE
tons for rescuing the steamer were debated at
LENGTH amidst considerable excitement Bet
ter counsels prevailed at last, and it was de-
termined not to precipitate matters, but wait
the action of the u. s. government.
A party of fifteen Cubans arrived from New
York by steamer Bristol this morning.
