We place at the head of our columns this morning the honored names of the nominees of the Baltimore Democratic Convention and the Cincinnati Liberal Conservative Convention for President and Vice President— Horace Geee r.EV of New York, and B. .GraTz Brown of Missouri. The policy of ac cepting this ticket by the Baltimore was the proper policy, and thus believing, we advocated it in these columns. We believe—indeed, we are confident—that under the lead of Hor ace Geeelev, we can drive the van dals from the high places they now oc cupy and disgrace, and restore the government to its original purity. To effect this high and holy purpose, we are willing to cooperate with anybody , or any party of men. What we want and must have, is peace and honesty We can no longer afford to prowl around the grave-yard of dead issues.— We must look the present in the face and meet it. “ We have turned our backs on the past; we stand in the present and look to the future. The past is lost to us; the future is ours; let us make it a glorious one.” This eloquent sentence is the whole question in a nut-shell.— And who used this languaguo? That man of giant intellect—that fearless and upright Democratic statesman, Senator Hendricks of Indiana, who has recently been placed in nomination for Governor by the Democrats and Liberal Bepubiicahs of his groat State. Ho is one of the ablest defenders of Democratic principles in America, and will be elected Governor of Indiana by 20,000 majority or more. Hendiucks has been our beau ideal , and it gives us pleasure to follow his lead. Again, to use the language of the New York Tribune, (Greeley’s paper,) “ no broad er or simpler creed was over promul gated. Liberty, honesty aud..peacc against centralization, corruption, and perpetual war. To fail with such ,a cause would bo glory and gain. To, succeed with it will be the greatest po-, Utica! victory over achieved for the cause of good government, and the greatest moral victory ever gained for the cause of peace and goodwill among men.” Then, Democrats, Conservatives—nll naeri who are thinking more of country than of party—fall into lino and assist hy your influence and your votes, to throttle the most infamous combination of men that ever disgraced our once pioud but now humiliated country.— Lot 113 remind our readers and all oth ers that the masses are in terrible earn est just jiow, and llavo resolved to think and not for themselves, not only in regard to national affairs, but in regard to county, city, town and town ship affairs. Tho people are supreme— the press is no longer tho muzzled instrument of the venal and corrupt.— Thank God, tho people are thinking, more of country than of party, whose highest interest demand that wo should' bury the animosities engendered by the late cruel war. What wo want, we repeat, is forgetfulness of the past. Tho elevation of Horace Cure ley to the Presidency will rescue us from the taunts of foreign nations, and tho United States will oneemoro command respect. We are now regarded by all Europe as a nation of thieves, with a horse-jockey and trader in jobs at our head. It is time to wipe out the disgrace we have endured for nearly four long years. Democrats! our. duty is a plain one; lot us discharge it as becomes men who love their country. Lot us give to Gref.lf.y and Brown our united-, cordial, zealous support, and victory will crown our efforts. , Andrew Johnson’s term as Presi dent began in ISGS. . General Grant’s term began in ISG9. According to the official report of the Register of . the Treasury, (page 1507) dated October 30, 187 s, the following payments have been made on account of tho public debt: In ISC’. OB 57.T3.a5i1.3j0 52 ISlitl 07. 1807 08. 1898 09. This is from July 1, ISCS, to July 1, ISGU. Qcn. Grant came in on the 4th of March, ISC9, hut of course, provision for any payments made up to July had already been made during tho .previous session of Congress.' - The payments on the same account, so far-as reported by Mr. Allison, the ■Register during Grant’s time, are as follows: ‘ . In ISCO 70 ; 5500,180,3.15 37 1670 71 i 1 53i,007,031 32 Now, if such of our Republican friends as are able to “ do a sum” in simple addition, and simple subtraction, will ' hunt up a slate and pencil and add to gethei-tiie. payments made during the two last years of the much abused Johnson’s time, and then add together the payments during Grant’s first two years, they will probably conclude us wo have after deducting tho greater from the less, that Johnson paid SIGI,- G73,15G 74 more of tile public debt dur- ■ ing his last two years than Grant did in his first two years. We arc free to admit that this carries no merit to Johnson’s account, nor does it carry any dismerit to Grant’s ; but as the -By Authority presses, who jump as Grant’s underlings pull tho string, lie so per sistently- upon the subject of Grant’s paying the debt, it ocoured to us just to stick a pin in these wind-bags.

Greeley ami Brown Will be Triumphantly Elected ! Rings, Thieves and Villainy to be Tolerated no Longer “ Down With Bad Men "Down With Rings." Til.. \[lillll Convention In St'niuu, Atlto’elo.ek the doors of the Opera House, in which the sessions of the con vention are to lie held, were thrown open, and iiva very little time the bal cony was crowded with spectators; but very few persons were in the upper gal lery. The Opera House is very plain itself; but the decorations, which aro similar In design to .those at the Be- 1 publican Convention in Philadelphia, are very attractive, a give the place a fine appearance. Among the diotinguished visitors on the platform was the Hon. Bevordy Johnson, whose entrance was greeted with applause. At ten minutes past 12 o’clock the convention was called to order by Au gust Belmont, chairman of the Nation al Democratic Committee, who said : MR. BELMONT’S SPEECH. Gentlemen of the Convention—lt is again my privilege to' welcamo the del egates of the National Democratic Con vention, who have met in order to pre sent to the American people the candi dates for President and'Vice President, for whom they solicit the suffrages of the Democratic and conservative voters of this great republic. At our last National Convention, on the 4th of July, 1868; I predicted that the election of General Grant would re sult in thegradual usurpation of all the functions of the Government by the Executive and by Congress, to be en forced by the bayonets of a military despotism. The vast majority of the people of the United States have with grief and sorrow seen the correctness of that prediction, and they look forward with fear and apprehension to tlio dan gers which aro threatening us, if by the re-election of General Grant, tbo policy thus far pursued by the radical party will be continued. The thinking men of both parties have become alive to the fact that we are now living under a military despot ism, over-riding the civil authority in many Stales of tiro Union. That, by the enactment of arbitrary and unconi stitutional laws through a depraved ma jority in Congress, tiro rights of these States are infringed and trampled upon, and that Ocsarism and centralization are undermining the very foundations of our Federal system, and are sweep ing away the constitutional bulwarks erected by the wisdom of the fathers of the republic. These abuses have be come so glaring that the wisest and best men of the Kepublican party have severed themselves from the radical wing, which is trying to fasten upon the country another four years reign of corruption, usurpation and despotism, and whatever individual opinions wo may entertain as to the choice of a can didate whom they have selected in op position to GoneralGrant. there’can not ho any doubt of the patriotic Im pulse whieli dictated their action, nor can any fault he found with the plat form of principles upon which they have placed their candidate. The reso lutions of the Cincinnati C'qnveptfou are what the country require, and they must comnifiml the hearty support of every patriot throughout the- vast ex tent of our land. In the struggle which is before us, we must look to principles and. not to men, and I trust that no 1 predilection or prejudices Will deter us from doing our duty to tho American people. General Grant has been a good and faithful soldier during our civil war. Ufa stubborn and indomitable courage has helped to crown the Union arms with victory, and tho American people have rewarded his services with the most unbounded generosity. I am willing to concede that his in tentions on taking ' the Presidential chair wore good and patriotic, but he has most signally and sadly failed in tho discharge of the high trust imposed upon him by the confidence of a grate ful people. He is at this moment the, very personification of the misrule which is oppressing us, and his re-elec tion is fraught with the most deplora ble consequences for the welfare of tho republic, and endangers the liberties of tho people. , On tho other hand, Mr. Greeley has been heretofore a bitter opponent of the Democratic party, and violent attacks against myself individually, which have from time to time appeared in his journal, certainly do not entitle him to any sympathy or preference at my hands; but Mr. Greeley represents the national and constitutional principles of the Cincinnati platform, and by his admirable and manly letter of. accept ance, he has shown that he is fully alive to their spirit, and that if elected, he means to carry them out honestly and faithfully. Should you, therefore, in your wis dom, decide to pronounce in favor of tho Cincinnati candidates, X shall, for one, most cheerfully bury all past dif ferences, and vote and labor for their election with the same zeal and energy with which I have supported'hereto fore, and mean over to support the can didates of tho Democratic party. The American people look witii great solic itude to your deliberations. It is for you to devise means by which to free them from the evils under which they are suffering; but in order to obtain that end you are called upon to make every sacrifice of personal and party preference. However much you might desire to fight tho coming battle for our rights and liberties under one of the trusted leaders of the Democratic party, it will become our duty to discard ail consid erations of party tradition if the selec tion of a good and wise man outside of our own ranks offer better chances of success. You must remember that you. are here not only as Democrats, hut-as citizens of our common country, and that no sacrifice can be too great which she demands at your hands. And now, before I propose to your acceptance the temporary Chairman of this conven tion, permit me to detain you one mo ment longer by a few words of an en tirely personal character., , With my present action terminates my official functions as chairman of the National Democratic Committee, an office which, by the confidence of my constituents and tho courtesy of my colleagues, I have held for twelve con secutive years. During all that time I have striven with honest zeal and with all the energy and capacity which God has given me, to do my duty faithfully to the party and to the country, and to render myself worthy of ■ the .great trust confided -to me.— While I was grieved and deeply morti fied to see at various times my motives and actions misconstrued by several Democratic papers, and that some even descended to the fabrication of the most absurd falsehoods concerning my social and political conduct, I have had the proud and consoling satisfaction that my colleagues on the National Com mittee, and all those who knew me, did justice to the integrity and purity of my intentions in all the trying situ? aliens in which ray official position had placed mo, and let me tell you, gentle men, that there is no one amongst' you who bears a warmer and truer affection to our party and our country than I have done and ever shall do. 890,102,117 85 839,974.882 03 391,281, (HI 10 You love this great republic, “ your native land,” as you do the mother who gave you birth; but to mo she is the cherished bride and choice of my youth —the faithful and loving companion of ray manhood, and now that I enter up on the sere and yellow leaf of life, I cling to her with all the recollections of the manifold blessings received at her hands. I retire from tho position which I have held to lake my place in the rank and file of that great party whose na tional, constitutional, and conservative principles have claimed my unwaver ing allegiance for the last thirty years ; and as long as the Almighty will spare my life, I shall never falter in my love, and devotion to our party and our country. I have the honor to propose to you as your temporary chairman a distin guished and venerable citizen of Vir ginia, a grandson of the patriot and statesman, Thomas Jefferson. It is an auspicious omen that a scion of tho au thor of tho Declaration of Independence is to inaugurate tho struggle of tho De mocracy for freedom and equality for every American - citizen, and against oppression and tyrany in our fair land. Mr. Belmont’s remarks were fre quently interrupted by moderate ap plause. The mention of Mi. Greeley’s name was received with loud demon strations of approval. So also wore tho speaker’s personal references to himself. At the conclusion he said, “ I have tho honor to propose the name of Hon. Thomas Jefferson Eandolph, of Virgin ia, as your temporary chairman.”— Music by the band, 11 Dixie.” Mr. Bandolph took his seat amid cheers. SPEECH OP MR. RANDOLPH', TBMPOBA- BY CHAIRMAN.

Baltimore, July 10—p. m. • At 10} o’clock a. in., the convention came to order, and the committee on resolutions, through their chairman, recommended the adoption of the Cincinnati platform entire, as embra cing all that is essential, [Loud cheer ing.] In order that there should be no misapprehension as to these resolutions Mr. Barr called lor tlipir reading in full to the convention, which was done, each plank in the platform being re ceived with applause, The one terra plank was especiallly well received. ROSOLUTIONS. The following are- the resolutions off ered at both.the Cincinnati and .Balti more Conventions: First. —We recognize the equality pf all men before the law, and bold that it is the duty of the Gdvornment, In its dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion, reli gious or political. Second.—We pledge ourselves to main tain the union of these States, emancipa tion and enfranchisement, and to oppose any reopening of the question settled by theTbirteentb, Fourteenth and Fifteenth' amendments of tbe-Constitutlon. Third. We demand the immediate and absolute removal qf all disabilities Im posed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued seven years ago, be lieving,that universal amnesty will re sult In the complete pacification of all sections of the country. Fourth. Local self-government, with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens mere securely than any centralized power. The public Welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military authority, and the freedom of persons under the protection of the habeas corpus. Wo demand for the indi vidual the largest liberty consistent with public order, for the States self-govern ment, and for the nation a return -to the methods of. peace and the Constitutional limitation of power. • Fifth. The civil service of the govern ment has become a mere instrument v pf partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon our free insti tutions and breeds a demoralization dan gerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We, therefore, regard; a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour; that honesty, capacity, and fi delity constitute the only valid claims to public employment; that the offices of the Government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and. that public stations become again posts of honor. To this end it is imperatively required that no President shall be a candidate for re-election. Sixth. We demand a system of Fede ral taxation which shall not unnecessari ly interfere with the industry of the peo ple, and which shall provide means nec essary to pay the expenses of the Gov ernment, economically administered, pensions, the interest on the publio debt, and a* moderate reduction, annually, of the principal thereof, and recognizing that mere are in our miast'iionest, buc irreconcilable differences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of pro tection and free trade, we remit the dis cussion of the subject to the people in their Congressional districts, and to the decision of Congress thereon, wholly free of Executive interference or dicta tion. . .{Seventh. The public credit must be sacredly maintained, and wb denounce repudiation in every form and guise. Eighth. A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the high est considerations of commercial morali ty and honest government. Ninth. 'We remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifice of the soldiers and sailors of the republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly earned fame or the full reward of their patriotism. Tenth. —We are opposed to all further grants of lands to railroads or other cor porations. The:publio domain should be held sacred to actual settlers. Eleventh. We bold that it is the duty of the government, in its intercourse with foreign nations, to cultivate, the.friend ship of peace,.by treating with all-on fair and equal terms, regarding it alike dis honorable either to demand what is not right, or to submit to what is wrong. Twelfth. For the promotion and suc cess of these vital principles; and the support of the candidates nominated by thls.convention, we Invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous polit ical affiliations. Mr. Barr explained that the resolutions were the Cincinnati platform {exactly, nothing added, nothing excluded. This platform was adopted in Cincinnati by all the States except Delaware, Missis sippi, Georgia, and Oregon.

MOORHEAD FOB GREELEY, Washington? July 12.—The political advices from Pennsylvania at the Gree ley and Brown headquarters are very sig nificant. Gen. J. It. Moorhead, long a Republican Congressman from Alleghe ny, has declared for Greeley, and will run as ah indepeudentcandidate for Con gress against General Neeley. He will be supported',by the manufacturing in terests and cannot be defeated. .Hon. J. W. Riddle, the late Republican candi date for Mayor of Pittsburg, is also out for Greeley. HON. TOM. MARSHAL AND WM. STEWART. Hon. Tom Marshall, the ables Repub lican stumper in the western counties, will soon take the stump for Greeley.— Hon. William Stewarc, formerly M, C. from Mercer, and one of the moat influ ential Republicans in the west, has writ ten here that he will support Greeley.— He saye: “X think the time has arrived when it is necessary to break up the cor rupt rings which control Grant’s admin istration. Ej;-Senatora London and Ma son, of Bradford county, have also de clared for Greeley, and nearly all the leading Republican politicians of Craw ford county, including a majority of the Republican county officers, have openly espoused the Liberal cause.” PROMINENT COLORED MEN FOR GREELEY. Several of the most intelligent and wealthy colored men of this city have de clared for Greeley. Among them is Dr. Augusta, Professor in Howard Universi ty ; James Wormley, the celebrated ca terer, and William Smith, law professor of Howard University. The latter has gone to North Carolina to take the stump for Greeley, THE OAMERON-FORNEY WAR, General Cameron is still here. It is una derstood that he had demanded the dis missal of several poor devils in the de partments who are suspehted of being against Hartranft. He made diligent in quiry yesterday to ascertain whether Colonel Forney had any friends in office, but he was unabliS to discover them. He says all dlaafleoted Republi cans must be driven over to Greeley— their offices taken from them, and their reputations confiscated. He declares that if Hartranft is defeated in October, Grant will bo overwhelmingly defeated in No vem ber. Grant got his fingers burnt by his interference in the McClure-Gray contest in obedience to Cameron’s de mnads, and ho does not mean to inter fere in local politics again. MR. SUMNRR’s POSITION. Both the Greeley and Grant parties are extremely anxious to capture Mr. Sum ner. While the Grant men know that under no circumstances can they hope to secure hia support for . the man on horseback, they want to do the next beat thing, namely, to keep him entering ac tively into the campaign for Greeley. Mr. Sumner is in sympathy with Gree ley, but he don’t want to commit him self until the canvass has fairly opened. In the meantime all the negroes wno ap ply to Sumner for advice are regaled With q powerful and striking compari son between Grant and Greeley, and then told whom they will -serve. As might be expected the comparison Is not very favorable to Grant. STORE'S TRIAL. Jury Unable to Agree and Discharged.
