came W. G. P. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, WHIT
began by saying we have this day beaten oul
swords into praning hooks, with which We
shall reap in November the autumnal harvest
of success. He had loved the South. He had
been willing to lay down his life for her. But
to-day he stood on higher planet, that OF
| American citizenship. To-day the banner un-
folded is the star spengled banner of the ma
tion, made sacred by the blood of the man
chosen this day as the leader Of the Democratic
party. He appealed to New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and Connecticut to answer for
| their part in the coming contest, and closed by
invoking Gods blessing on this days work.
JOHN KELLY.
At this point, John Kelly, of New York, was
noticed walking down the main aisle. Instant
and the band also took part. By the time
Kelly had reached the stage the excitement was
almost equal TO the scene of the earlier mo-
ments Of the convention. The chair in intro
ducing Mr.. Kelly said 1t gives me great
pleasure to announce to you to-day, that in
nominating President of the United States
to-day, you have reunited the Democracy of
New York. (Cheers. and those who have been
temporarily absent from this council came to-
day to announce to you that they give in their
allegiance to the Democracy, and to the support
of your ticket.
Mr.. John Kelly then came to the chairman's
desk amid terrific applause.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-
vention: Your chairman has told you that by
your actious of to-day in nominating General
Hancock, You have united the Democracy of
the State of New York. Shouts of applause
and hlsses.) He has told you truly. (Applause
and voice hurrah.) While myself and nv
brethren here on the right have been fighting
each other politically for the last five years,
they no doubt will agree with what am going
to say. Let past differences be banished from
our midst. Great applause and cheers.) am
not going to speak to you now of what has oc-
Cured in the great State of New York, or what
has occurred since we came to the city of Gin
cinnati. Never again shall re-
fer in political speech as to what
has transpired in the State In which we live
(applaus1). We have disagreed simLly politi-
cally. Our personal relations were never
severed, though sometimes our political anti
pathies often lead US into making passionate
remarks againrt each other. In our sober mo-
ments when we have time to reflect, then we see
like sensible men that we have committed an
error and are willing to ask each others for
giveness, (appiause and cheers, and voice,
''good for you.'o I think that my friends here
upon the right, as 1 said, agree with me npon
this question that the great State of New York
cannot be carried unless there be q united
Democracy in that State. Now
that we are united. think that it will be safe
for me to say to this convention that there can
be no doubt as to what the result will be in
that State in November next. Great applause.)
You have nominated not only great soldier

by the government. he recollected the fact that
he owed to the people of this Country duty,
and when the government expected him, clothed
with the military authority that he was that
that should take the place instead of the civil
power, he, like a sensible man. like a true
patriot, like noble American, said, let the civil
power first be tried and when th : military
power Is wanted to suppress riot, or to do any
thing else that may be needed, to protect with
the strong arm of the government, / am always
your servant.
Now, gentleman, you have nominated sol
dier. We have had great war among the
people of this country. We do not desire to
discuss the question of the late war at all, but
l think that you have nominated, under the
circumstances gentleman, soldier, states
man and Democrat. against whom nothing in
the world can be said. (Great applause)

We can say of Gen. Hancock, he had his pha-

FELLOWS OF NEW YORK.
Loud calls were made for Mr.. Fellows of
New York, representing the other side of the
New York political strife, and he appeared
at lenglh and while the house was cheering and
the chairman rapping for order, he took his
place st the speakers desk. A proclamation
for special quiet was made by the chair and
repeated by the sergeant-at arms, to enable
him to be heard. Quiet restored, Mr.. Fellows
said
MIR. chairman and gentlemen of the eonven-
ton: am in no form for speech making.
Almost completely exhausted by the labors of
the convention, utterly worn out in voice, I
needed all the inspiration that the surround
ings could give me. in order to enable me to
respond to your call, and, therefore preferred
to speak from my own seat. l wanted to
gather inspiration from looking in that direc
ton, (ndicating the ladies' gallery,) instead of
that, daughter l could have made a better
speech down there, but you have commanded
me and obey.
Gentleman OF the United States: Your ao
ton to-day has been superb. applause You
have restored all differences existing in the an
nails of the Democratic party. You have healed
all dissensions. We may march under the di-
vision banner of different generals, bnt we
march to one battlefield to fight one common
foe. (Applause.) Henceforth that man is our
friend who best assists in carrying the banner
TO victory; that man is our enemy, and
only he, who lags in his duty in that
respect. (Applause.) But you have done
more aye infinitely more than to have settled
