A little after noon yesterday the Baltimore
Convention completed its work by the adop-
ton of the Cincinnati platform and the for
mai nomination of Greeley and Brown. The
vote for the platform stood go to 81 !. the
vote for the nominees Greeley, COG; James
A. Bayard,. Is jeremiah S. Black, 81. The
vote was afterward made unanimous for both
the CINCINNATI nominees, on motion of Wal
lace, of PENNSYLVANIA. How nearly this mo-
tim of a Pennsylyanian accQrds with the
Democratic sentiment in that State may be
inferred by the statement of Mr.. Forney. in
another place as to the expression of its
party press, -t-'''' - '-''r !.'~',. ga, 81;
The Baltimore Convention was not dis
posed to leave any room for doubt as to it's
position. 1t was not willing to content itself
with accepting as am alternative not to be
easily disposed of otherwise, the action of
Cincinnati. AS the Democratic party s re-
quired to furnish the votes that are to give
dignity To the ticket, it was deemed best to
clared by formal ballot. Greeley and
Brown. are, therefore, to be known as the
Democratic nominees, chosen over the heads
of Bayar,1 and Black, honored names in the
Democratic calendar. Rather ludicrOus is
the position in which the body placed itself,
and humiliating the position Of the defeated
candidates. But that is no concern of ours.
The convention had right to play any antic
it saw proper, and as it could not do anything
more absurd than the act for which it was
deliberately chosen, it Will have ample leisure
