New York, July l2.-The following
speeches we're made to-day on the occa.
sion Of the notification of Greeley of his
nomination by the Baltimore convention.
Mr.. Doolitle said
Mr.. Greelcy--The national democratic
convention, recently held at Baltimore,
charged us with the pleasing duty Of
waiting on you in person to notify you of
its unanimous nominatian Of yourself as
candidate for the presidency We we're
informed 1t would be agreeable to you to
meet us here at this time, and we have
come in body to place In your hands this
OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION.
The published proceedings Of our con-
vention show great unanimity, but those,
only, who took part in them can realize
the cordially and enthusiasm with which
il resolved to sustain the liberal republican
movement, to cooperate with all patri.
otto citizens, and TO support the principles
declared at Cincinnati. II was resolved
also, as the best and surest mode Of giving
effect to those principles, to nominate and
elect the same candidates. We both wit
messed that cordiality and enthusiasm.
Mr.. Doolittle then introduced the mem

GREELEY SPOKE As FOLLOWS:
should need time were to attempt To
reply ftly and fully to this important, and
| need not say gratifying communication.

but as ! have lately addressed a letter,
which has been pretty widely considered,
to the liberal republican convention,i it ma >
not be necessary. l can only say now tina,
ACCEPT YOUR SoMISATIoS,
accept it gratefully, in the same spirit in
which 1t was offered. Cheers.1 am at
present in a position which doubtless many
would regard as proud one, but which il
an embarrassing one, because it involves
the temporary, and, trust, only temper
airy annoyance Of demonstration Of my
motives on the part of some valued and
lifelong friends. i am confident that
time alone is necessary to vindica,e my
motives TO all candid observers, and TO
convince all, indeed, of the
DIsIsTEREsTEDSEss AND PATRIOTISM
Of the course l am pursuing and intended
to pursue long before / was assured Of So
much cooperation and sympathy
Cheers. The time will come, and trust
in God, the opportunity too, when the
world will see that you are no less demo.
orats because you have pursued the course
you have and that am no less a republi.

tered with emotion, but be recovered him,

the habit Of receiving nominations for tn,
