BALTIMORE, July 4, 1872,

BALTIMORE, July 4, 1872.
Judging by the nzzing and kissing Of fire crackers
for the last Thirty hours, the Fourth OF July Is
well remembered here as elsewhere in our patri.
Otic and Illuminating country. The heat continues,
but shower fell at five O'Clock which modified the
temperature, and the BaltimOreans take credit to
their city that the al has been at time within
four degrees OF the point 1t reached thermometrl-
cally in New York. Camp followers and delegates
are already dropping in and the extent and activity
OF the newspaper men of the country may be infer
red from the tact that above three hundred lodging
rooms have been engaged for reporters and editors
alone, for the present Convention.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAsrS
IL Is presumed that the Convention viii adjourn
Wednesday evening, possibly with night session.
Others think il may hold over till Thursday after
noon, but this depends upon the latitude accceded
TO speech-makers. II there be q 'big talk Indian
fashion, the nomination may be followed by days
paIaver and exchange OF opinion. The Greeley men,
who will be vastly in majority, say they do not
care how much time be accorded TO the Bourbons,
for the Greeleytes are mol only confident that they
possess two-thirds of the vote, but also four-fths
of the proscenium talent OF the fiery, appealing
Sort and are not anxious to tighten the rules and
organization, and thereby incur the charge of
prohting by majority power where the precedents
and traditions demand q square two-thirds senti-
ment
THE BANNER GREELEY STATES
will, probably, be Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois and
Missouri. Virginia will appear with powerful
young soldlery-the dover OF the Confederate
army--resolute AMI earnest and trained In the
ways of Lee, stonewau Jackson and J. E. b. Stuart.
They have solid and unanimous Greeley con-
sttuency, and will support Greeley even If he be
n ho fhe
of the influx OF Northern capital and has freely had
the advantage Of visitation and converse with
liberal Northern men. 1t is a State where the
staid and moral Presbyterian element Is
large and rational and it has no time
10 waste on battles and prcjudices where IL
claims that the Virginia line bore such great part
that its honor and courage assured, and its
mon sense and reason require to he equally devel-
oped to calm and direct the less intelligent South
ern States. The attendants upon the Virginia del
egation will be a numerous and youthful body, de-
termined to look back upon nothing ana to head
the new era.
Tennessee-not o State Of the equal political CIV
iization OF virginia-had good schooling In the
Stokes-senter campaign when with mild repub-
lican (senter) it beat ladicaism and obtained the
franchise for rebels. This state led of for Greeley
and feels its impo tance naturally.
Missouri is the State Of Gratz Brown and the
Blars, and has never been otherwise than disposed
to all practicable fusions.
The Illinois democrats have been the most for
ward, harmonious and sanguine in this company,
and want Greeley or nothing
The ablest delegations In point OF individual his
tory are California, Virginia, New York, Wisconsin
and Connecticut.
