The Baltimore Convention.

/ From the Democratic assembling at Balti-
more the report comes that there is substan-
tial unanimity in the nomination Of Greeley
and Brown; and although the convention
may not reach formal action before we 20 10
press, the result Is quite sure The principal
difference Of opinion among the delegate
has been in regard to tile proposition to
simply endorse the Cincinnati candidates and
platform. The Missouri delegates favored
this method, as likely to secure more
Republican votes, but il met with little favor
in the convention, and the nominations Will be
made IN the usual way By ballot There is
some outside demonstration in favor Of a
nomination Of straight Democrats, but it has
no effect on the convention. Greeley VIII
undoubtedly be unanimously nominated on
the first ballot
LATER.-Ihe convention was called u
order yesterday - August Belmont, Chair
man Of the Democratic National Committee
lie made a brief speech in which be said,
it was the duty Of the Democratic party TO
vote for Mr. Greeley if be should be uomi-
mated. The mention of Mr. Gr9elcy's name
was received with cheers. Nh Thomas JEFF
ferson Randolph, Of Virginia a gentleman
eighty years of age, was chosen temporary
chairman Of the convention.
An outside attendance Of a few Democrats
opposed to Mr. Grecleys nomination. has
made little ripple Of excitement. but there
seems to be no doubt Of tie nearly unanimous
nomination of Mr.. Greeley on the first ballot.
At subsequent meeting held at clock
James r Dooliitle Of Wisconsin was Sc
lected as President Of the Convention and
made brief speech
The Baccalaureate sermon to the gradual
ing class Of Vermont University was delivered
BY President Buckhan last Sunday His
text was Romans XVI, 10 3. would have
you wise unto that which is good, and simple
concerning evil The discourse developed
the idea Of the text, and admonished his
hearers that knowledge Of evil brought only
eyi',-that there was no good education in
it. The Free Press says
President Buckham looked pale and worn
by the lab0rs Of his position and the extreme
heat but he spoke with earnestness, if with
something less than his usual force. and he
was listened to with close and undivided at
tention by the numerous audience.
Dr. McCosh, Of Princeton College, spoke
IN the evening before the Society for Religious
Inquiry. Taking for his text, Rom / , xvii :
- The just shall live by faith, compared WI tn
Titus l, Speak thou the thing which
become sound doctrine, the speaker an
nounced as his subject, Faith in Christ as
distinguished IRON Faith in Doctrine OF
the speaker the Free Press says
This is the first time, we believe, that Dr.
McCosh has addressed an audience in this
State, but it is TO be hoped by no means the
last lie is known to most of our readers
possibly. lie Is a Scotch divine Of eminence
who came to this country four years ago to
take the Pre- idency Of Princeton College.
His style Of delivery is for this country unu-
sual he speaks with something of a Scotch
accent, but with much carnestncss and fuen-
cy, and was listened To with the closest atten-
ton to the close.

tive so far as statistics can be obtained Inc
result is that out of every loco women on
