BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
Greeley md Brown Nominated

The Democratic Convention organ
lied on the 9th, with Mr.. Randolph, o
Virginia, as temporary President, a
was agreed upon. Mr.. Doolittlc, o
Wisconsin, was afterwards selected fo
permanent President, and made al
able and effective speech, rcvicwin,
the history of the Liberal movcmen
and enlargement upon its objects and
results. The Committee on Rosolu
tons adopted the Cincinnati platform
by an overwhelming majority, and i
will doubtless be as promptly accepted
by the convention on the 10th. The
boilers side show was n weak affair
which will have no influence whatever
and is ridiculed on all hands. 1t i.
probable that the convention will
either indorsc or nominate Horac,
Greeley this morning, get through
with what remains of routine business
and adjourn before evening. 1t has
practically done its work.-Louisriit,
Courier 10th.
BALTIMORE, Nd. July 9.-The New
York delegation resolved to-day tc
cast their solid vote for Greeley and
Brown also TO favor direct nomi
nation instead of an endorsement.
The Democratic Committee on Res
olutions met tonight at the Carroll
ton House. All the States were rep
resented. Mr.. Barr, Of Connecticut
occupied the chair, and S. j. Randall
acted as secretary.
The Cincinnati platform having beer
presented, various amendments were
proposed, debated and rejected. AT.
ter a three hours session, the Cincin.
natl platform was adopted without any
modification whatever, with the fol
lowing introduction:
I'VE, Democratic Electors of the
United States in National Convention
assembled, present the following prin.
ciples, already proclaimed at Cincin-
natl, "a essential to Just government"
All the States voted for the platform
as thus prefaced, with the exception
of Delaware, Georgia, Mississippi and
Oregon.
Every seat was filled at the opening
of the convention, and the proceed
ings throughout were strikingly har-
monious.
BELMoNT's SPEECH.
The speech made by August Bel
mont at the opening of the convention
is recognized as one of the most sue
ccssiul efforts of his life and had a
very salutary influence. His illusions
to Greeley were received with cnthu-
siastic cheers. His leave taking. as
chairman of the National Executive
Committee was very affecting, and after
the conclusion of his speech the dele
gates crowded around him TO express
their regrets and the general apprcci-
alton felt ofhis able efforts incoursc of
his twelve years service as chairman.
The New York delegation unanimous
ly selected Hon. Augustus Schcll, of
that State, as his successor.
MIR. DooLlTTLE's SPEECH.
Mr.. Doolittlc's speech, reviewing
the history of the Liberal movcnt, had
a very happy influence upon the few
disafiectcd delegates, in imprcssng
them with the true meaning of the CO.
alition movement and the urgent ne
ccssity for the party TO fight it out on
that line.
