WEDNESDAY, JULY 10,1872.

Greeley and Brown Nominated. We are delighted that the Baltimore Convention thought proper to vote for, and nominated Greeley and Brown. They are now the nominees of the Democratic party, as well as the Liberal Hepublican party, and both together can march shoulder to shoulder to the polls, .and to victory. Let us now close up the lines, put our Captains, our Majors, and our Colonels in the field, and commence battle. Let on© grand rally of musketry and artillery echo and re-echo from hilltop to valley, until a grand and glorious victory is ours in November.

The whole road is being pushed rapidly forward.— Cin. Enquirer.

Proper Selection of Food. There is no country where there is so much dyspepsia as in America, because our people pay but little attention to food, and eat too much for the exercise they take. If one has mental labor, ftsh every second day, at least, is requisite. Soup sets all the glands to work, and prepares the stomach for the more important functions of digestion, and, therefore, should be taken at dinner every day. Beef broth is to the old what milk is to the young. Cookery properly attended to keeps man in health. If the stomach is out of order, the brain is aflected.

We should eat more fruits, vegetables, 'soups and fish. Good and well-prepared food beautifies the physique, the same as a eood and well-directed education beautifies the mind. Wrinkles are produced by the want of a variety of food. The man who does not use his brain to select and prepare his food, is not above the brutes which take it in the raw state.—

BALTIMORE, July 10.—The Democratic National Convention convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.

August Belmont, Chairman of the National Executive Committee, called the meeting to order, in a neat little speech of about twenty minutes duration, during the delivery of which he was loudly cheered when allusions were made to the coming choice of the Convention for President and Vice-President, Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown.

In conclusion Mr. Belmont named T. J. Randolph for temporary President, who came forward aud addressed the Convention, thanking them for the honor conferred.

Rev. Dr. Slicer, of Baltimore, then addressed the Throne of Grace in an appropriate prayer.

Temporary Secretaries were appointed. Mr. Belmont was voted the thanks of the party, by the organization, for his services as Chairmanfof the Executive Committee in the past.

A resolution to the effect that all the States be called alphabetically, was carried.

The Committee on Organization and Credentials were then named. The rules of the last National Democratic Convention were adopted.

Adjourned, until 4 P. M. About half-past four o'clock, the Convention assembled. Hon. James R. Doolittle, Jr., Senator from Wisconsin, was made permanent Chairman, with a Vice President from each State. Secretaries were appointed, after which Mr. Doolittle came forward, and said

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION :—I thank you for this great honor. Words cannot tell you how much, but you will allow me to pass at once from what is personal to speak of the great occasion, the duty and the purpose which brings us here. Two years ago, nearly five years after the bloody period of civil war had closed, the Liberal Republicans of Missouri [applause], feeling keenly all the evil of proscriptive test oaths, the hates and strifes, the passions of war had left upon them long after the war itself had ceased, and feeling keenly the Executive Federal dictation in their local elections, determined to organize a movement to restore equal rights to all citizens [applause], white as well as black [applause], to restore local self-government aud to assist further centralizaticfti of Federal power. [Applause.] They then said this thing has gone far enough, if not too far, and the time has come when all honest and patriotic Republicans must say "halt!" and reassert the vital doctrine of the Republican Government that under the Constitution the powers of the Federal Government are defined and limited,—[applause aud cries of good, good]—and that the people of the States have the right to govern themselves in their o,wn domestic affairs upon the basis of equality of all the States before the higher law, before the Constitution, and the equality of all men before the law. [Applause.] Of universal loyalty, amnesty, suffrage, and peace, taking no step backward, taking no right or no franchise which had been secured to the blacks, pledging themselves to support them all in their full vigor, they at the same time demanded in the name of peace, in the name of liberty, in the name of the Republican government itself, that freedom and equal rights should be restored to the white people. [Great applause.] They organized nearly 40,000 strong and called upon Gratz Brown [applause] to head the movement. They placed him in nomination for Governor, aud then what followed Eighty thousand Democrats and Republicans [cheers] looking upon the success of that movement as above any party triumph [cheers], resolved to sustain it with their whole strength. Love of country, love of republican liberty, love of equal rights of all men, inspired the union and taught the men to act together who had been politically opposed to each other all their lives, upon other questions and in other times, and without violating either honor, logic, conscience or consistency on either side, this patriotic union was based upon higher grounds than ordinarily central political action. [Great applause.] Even those who had fought against each other in battle clasped hands over the bloody chasm [renewed applause], and side by side, like brothers, with hearts beating in unison beating strong with the same high purpose, then helped to bear its flag to glorious victory! That, gentlemen, is Liberal Republicanism [Cheers], and that is Democratic Republicanism. [Great applause.] The victory which came from that union was the end of proscription, of test oaths, of pain and strife, and of all disloyalty in a word, the real end of civil war came with that victory, and did not come till then in Missouri. [Intense applause.] It redeemed that State it gave the right of freemen to 70,000 men who had been bound and fettered. Missouri is now a free State in this Union, with her right, and dignity and equality under the Constitution, and not one murmur of disloyalty is anywhere heard. By that union Federal dictation in Missouri, in their local elections, was overthrown, and by that union strife aud hate has given place to peace and to good will. By that union, liberty, with equal rights for all, have given to the State unbounded prosperity, and her people a joy almost unspeakable.

So great was their joy, and so complete the success of the Liberal Republicans that the State was not content without making au effort to extend the same nnion of Liberal and Democratic Republicans, and with the same blessing of liberty, peace, and fraternity, toallother States. [Rounds of applause.]

Accordingly, in the State Convention, ou the 24th of March last, they resolved to invite the Liberal Republicans in all the States to meet them in National Convention, in Cincinnati, on the 1st of May. That invitation was accepted. There was indeed a great response. They came by thousands, in such vast numbers that a delegate convention of all the States was formed, both from principles and from necessity, to give form to its proceedings. Mauy of the ablest of the country, lately leaders of the Republican party, were there aud took part in its deliberations. They were assured that a large number of Liberal Republicans, in every State aud from all portions of the country, stood behind and ready to sustain them, and they were morally certain that if the thousands whom we this day represent [cheers] would only come to their support, the number of Liberal Republicans would reach halt a million or more. [Great cheers.] That convention presented a platform and presented candidates to the country—for President, H. Greeley, [long continued cheers,] and for Vie© President B. Gratz Brown, [mcne cheers,] and tha,t

convention for the promotion and success of the principles declared in that platform there enunciated, and the support of the candidates nominated by that convention, have invited and cordially welcomed the co-operation of all patriotic citizens without regard to previous political affiliations. Those principles were clearly aud concisely stated in the platform itself, and restated in the letter of acceptance of Greeley. [More cheers.] And they are so well known to you all that I will not restate them. For weeks that platform and these candidates have been before the country. Meanwhile a convention called to nominate General Grant [hisses] and to endorse and continue the principles, practice and policy of his administration, have done its work. [Hisses.] Between the Liberal Republicans and followers of Grant's administration the issue is now clearly madeup. It is Grant or Greeley. [Cheers and cries of Greeley.] While these events were passing, the Democrats and Republicans, whom we represent, held their Conventions in all the States. The Liberal Republican movement, the example of Missouri, the Cincinnati Convention, Its platform and its candidates, with their letters of acceptance, were all before these conventions, which were very largely attended by their ablest men, and the paramount question before all these conventions was, "Shall we accept this iuvitatioh to co-operatewith Liberal Republicans—[great applause]—shall we adopt this platform—[loud cries of yes, yes, and some cries of never] shall we nominate the same candidate—[yes, yes] and shall we elect thein [Yes, yes, yes and loud cheering] or shall we refuse to co-operatt—[no]—nominate other candidates—[no, no, Greeley, Greeley]—and strive to elect them over both tickets in the field Gentlemen, these are questions which you are to decide here. That you will decide wisely I can not doubt, nor can any one doubt, who looks over this body of men representing, as they do, three million citizens, and who feels as every one must feel, the high and patriotic purpose which inspires you. Gentlemen, what means this great uprising which you everywhere see what means this proposed union of three millions Democratts and Republicans, with a million, it may be, of the Republicans? What means this union upon a common platform and this proposed union upon the same candidates, a union so sudden, so compact, so earnest as to surprise its friends and confound its enemies [applause] which comes as winds come, which, to borrow a figure, overwhelms the ordinary currents cf public opinion as great storms always ruu counter to surface currents. What means all this? There are some things, gentlemen, it does not mean. It means no abandonment of what is true, of what is just, of what is good, in human government. [Applause.] It means no union of dead upon dead issues, but a union of living upon living issues of the present. [Applause.] It means no union for spoils of offije. [Applause.] But it means a union of men of the same faith upon great and paramount issues of the present hour a frank, manly, honorable and equal uuion of men who have the sagacity to see, and the moral courage to accept, the situation. [Cries of good, aud loud cheering.] It means a union of men who have the sagacity to see what is past, and to deal with the issues of the present and for the future, to do their duty to their country, their God, and their fellow men. [Applause.] The issue of to-day is not the repeal of the Missouri compromise, nor the question of slavery in the Territories, upou which the Republican party was organized in 1856.

It is not upon that which followed when the Leconipton Constitution for Kansas divided the Democratic party in twain and elected Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency in 1860. It is not a question of secession nor of war to put down rebellion, nor of the abolition of slavery in th"e States by military order, or by the constitutional amendments upon which Lincoln was re-eiected in 1864, nor yet is it a question of reconstruction, nor of the Fourtesnth or Fifteenth Amendments, nor the question of negro suffrage, nor of the establishment' by Federal power of universal suffrage as a condition precedent to the States South having any rights or existence as States of the Union. It is none of these questions that is now at issue at all. These have been the issues in the past—great issue3—sufficient in themselves to create and to dissolve political parties, because ideas are stronger than men or parties. But they are all past issues. They have been fought out, and fought out to the end, in the forum or on the field, and they are no more in issue to-day than the Mexican war or the war of the rebellion. [Applause.] We couldn't re-open them if we would, aud they falsely misrepresent our purpose who say that we would re-open them if we could. [Cheers.] This great union, therefore, means no step backward. Forward is the word [loud cheers], and first of all it means to-day. for all other States iu the South what it has already done in Missouri. [Cheers.] Instead of the proscriptive test oath, suspension of habeas corpus, and military despotism, it means personal freedom for individuals, and a Republican government for all [loud applause] instead of negro supremacy upheld by proscription and the bayonet, it means equal rights to all men, white as well as black loud cheers] instead of thieving Governments, organized to plunder and subjugate States, it means the domination once more of intelligence and integrity instead of strife, hate and robbery it means justice, liberty, peace, loyalty, and good will, and, gentlemen, for our whole country, East, West, North and South, it means instead of a war President, trained only in a military school, aud whose whole character has been formed in the ideas, arts, habits and despotism of military life instead of this it means a peace President, [cheers] trained in the ideas, arts, blessings and Republican simplicity of peace and universal freedom [loud cheers] of peace not unchanged of liberty, not under arrest awaiting trial, sentence and execution by drum-head court martial, but that liberty aud that peace which the Constitution secures by placing civil law above the sword [loud applause] by preserving iu full vigor the sacred writ of habeas corpus by the right of trial by jury. [Applause.] It means another thing, and perhaps the most important of them all —it means to arrest centralization of power in the Federal Government [loud cheers] it means to assert that vital principal of our republican system, in which it lives and moves and has its very being—that constitutions are made by the people, in their sovereign capacity, for thG express pnrpose of defining and limiting the powers of the Government [applause] the powers of all governments, State or National it means we are determined that Presidents and Governors, Congress and State Legislatures and everv department of theGovernment shall obey the Constitution. [Prolonged applause.] It means also a genuine civil service reform, beginning with the Presidential office. [Applause.] It means to put an end forever to certain practices which have grown up with this Administration which have driven so many of the ablest Republicans to join this Liberal movement, and which have deeply wounded the hearts of all Republicans, as well as democrats, in this Qountry. [Applause.] Practices {which

never existed under any other Administration which are but too well known to all the world, and which our nation's good reputation will be best consulted by not even naming. [Cheers.] It means also to give strength and stability to our financial affairs, and our national credit, by bringing honesty, and economy, and fidelity, to every position, Federal, State and municipal, where public moneys are collected and distributed. [Cheers.] It means also the honest payment of all our obligations. [Renewed adplause.] It means to give higher tone aud greater vigor to the administration of our foreign aud domestic affairs, so as to commaud the respect and confidence of our own people and of all the civilized world in means to place in the highest offices of our government men of whom all the world may say: "They are honest and they are capable." [Applause.]

Gentlemen, I have thus briefly stated the situation, duties aud purposes which bring us here. A great responsibility rests upon this Convention. If its action shall be such, and I doubt not jt will be, as to put an end to the misrule which for the last few years has afflicted our beloved country, this generation and generations to come after us will remember with pride and gratitude the convention at Baltimore on the 9th of July, 1872.

Amid loud and long-continued applause, Doolittle took his seat. On motion of Gen. McClernand, of Illinois, a committee of one from each State and Territory, including the District of Columbia, was appointed to draft resolutions.

On motion of B. W. Hauna, of Indiana, all resolutions pertaiuing to the platform were referred to the Committee on Resolutions without debate.

From the Louisvlle Ledger.

A Clandestine Marriage.

Society circles were treated to a real sensation yesterday afternoon. It was to the affect that a beautiful and accomplished young lady and a well-known young gentleman of this city had been secretly married some time ago, and the facts had Just become known. Last night the,affair was the universal theme of conversation.

The facts iu this real romance in real life are as follows: For some time past Mr. Russel Hancock, son of General W. S. Hancock, and at present connected with the firm of S. T. Suit & Co., Main street, has been paying his addresses to Miss Lizzie, daughter of Nicholas Gwynn, Esq., a well known Main street merchant, who resides on Fourth street, between Broadway and York. It seems that for some reason Mr. Gwynn objected to the attentions of Mr. Hancock, and preparations were made to send the young lady abroad for two years. Two years is an eternity to young lovers, and they determined their happiness should not be destroyed. On the 30th of April last, the young couple very quietly went to Jeffersonville and were married by Rev. Dr. Hutchinson. After the ceremony the young lady returned immediately to her father's house, and has remained there until yesterday afternoon. The avowed intention of the young couple was to keep the marriage a secret until the old folks became reconciled to the union, when the marriage would ibe made public and the young man would claim his bride. But marriage, as well as murder, will out.

One of the parties in the secret impartedit in confidence to a friend, and that friend did likewise.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Hancock, finding that the secret was known, and would in all probability reach the ears of his father-in-law, wrote that gentieman a note giving the full particulars of the case. Before dispatching the note, however, he sent for his wife, and the young couple were registered at the Louisville Hotel last night.

Up.to 12 o'clock to-day Mr. Gwynn had not replied to the note, but the probabilities are that he will give the young folks his blessing.

DR. MARY WALKER was very much enraged ou Wednesday because the United States Commissioner of Patents would not permit her to place the military costume she accoutred herself in during the war in the glass cabinet containing the garments of Washington and Lincoln. The clothes were labelled, "Worn by Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker during the war," and a3an historic relic for the inspection of future generations would have been invaluable.

AN immense catfish was caught in Lake St. Croix a few days ago, in whose stomach was found an axe with full length helve attached. He probably swallowed it when it was a hatchet^

[Special Dispatch to the Evening Gazette.| BALTIMORE,

July 10.—2 P.M.—The

Convention convened at 10 o'clock A.M. The Committee on Resolutions reported the Cincinnati platform of principles, which action was wildly cheered, mingled with a few cries of disapprobation, and a speech or two of bitter Bourbon opposition. Upon being put to a final vote, however, the report of the Committee was adopted, whereupon cheer after cheer rent the air.

The*Convention shortly afterward proceeded to ballot for Presidept and Vice President, which resulted in Greeley and Brown receiving 713 out of 732. The nominations were then made unanimous, amidst prolonged cheering, and the convention adjourned sine die at 1:30 P. M. 3 P. M.—Since the adjournment, the the results of the convention are being canvassed by the members, in groups, and the greatest good will is felt among ^J1 parties, but a few who came here determined not to be pleased. [American Press Dispatches.]

LONDON, Jijly 10.—The Post this morning announces that Queen Victoria intends shortly to elevate Sir Alexander Cockburn to the Peerage, iu recognition distinguished and valuable services in connection with the Geneva Arbitration.

A Constantinople dispatch states that the Sultan has refused to sanction any increase of the present rate of tolls on the Suez Canal.

NEW YORK,July10.—The preparations for the Orangemen's parade, on Friday, will be completed to-day. Wm. Magill is to be Grand Marshal. Seven full lodges will participate, besides others who may join the procession. The police authorities will provide strong escort and the National guards will be on duty at their armories, to prevent disturbance.

There was no extraordinary excitement yesterday at the different political headquarters here. Arrangements have been made at the National Democratic headquarters to fire a salute of one hundred guns immediately on receipt of the news of Horace Greeley's nomination: Considerable anxiety was manifested to obtain the latest news.

Only four cases of sunstroke were reported yesterday, with one fatal. Gratz Brown arrived here yesterday, on his way to New Haven, to take part in the commencement exercises at Yale College. He announces his intention of speaking, and taking an active part in the campaign. He regards the situation as most encouraging, and the work of organization in the West as very complete.

NEW YORK, July 10.—The Tribune's special from Baltimore says it is stated on excellent authority that the United States Marshal for North Carolina left Washington yesterday, for Raleigh, with $200,000 in Government funds, drawn from the Treasury ostensibly for the purpose of paying the attorneys of the United States Courts. Prominent conservatives now in^ Washington from North Carolina charge that the. greater part of this unusually large fund is to be used by the Grant office-holders for election purposes in the State campaign now in progress.

The Tribune's Baltimore special says The sentiment in favor of the nomination of the Cincinnati ticket seems stronger than at any previous time since the delegates began to assemble. It is a general impression that there will be but little speaking to-day, and that the nominations will be made before 2 o'clock. Arrangements have been made for one ©f the grandest ratification meetings this evening, ever held outside of New York.

NEW YORK, July 10. Thirty-four Trades' Societies have signified their intention to join the great parade of workingmen, August 1st, arrangements for which were made last evening.

The World, this morning, comments on the proceedings, at Baltimore, yesterday, and says the Greeley tide sweeps everything before it, as all intelligent men foresaw as soon as delegates were chosen. Real deliberation there has beep none, and will be none. Greeley will be nominated to-night, and .might quite as easily have been done yesterday, without a respectable show of opposition. As the convention decided to accept Greeley, it is as well not to ask his assent to the declaration which, though embodying Democratic views might not represent his to-morrow. We shall be compelled to announce Greeley and Brown as the regular Democratic candidates, and although we should have preferred others, we have no hesitation in saying we think them altogether preferable to the corrupt office-holders of the Philadelphia Convention.

BALTIMORE, July 10—9:30 A. M.—The doors of Ford's Opera House are open, and the people are pouring in by hun« dreds. The streets are crowded. The weather is warmer than it was yesterday. The delegations have arrived at the Opera House, 3

.1

9:45 A. M.—The galleries are filled with spectators. The bands are playing. Many of the delegations held informal conferences this morning, for arriving'at a full understanding as to the action today. It is understood the trouble in the Pennsylvania delegation has been healed and that it will vote solid for Greeley and Brown. 10 o'clock—Doolittle, Hoffman, and the Pennsylvania delegates are holding a consultation on the platform,where the Vice Presidents are already seated.

The Liberal Republicans who have visited the convention have done so merely as visitors, not seeking to influence of the convention in any way.

At ten minutes after ten o'ciock, Mr. Doolitte called the Convention to order. Rev. Dr. Lybrum invoked the blessing, with all standing. Mr. Bird, Chairman of the Committee on resolutions, announced that the Committee had adopted the Cincinnati platform. Then there was much cheering. The resolutions were then read, amid great applause. Delaware, Mississippi, Oregon, and Georgia were the only States silent on the question of adopting the Cincinnati platform. All allusious to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, and the one-term principle, received much applause.

A motion was made to adopt the platform. Mr. Bayard asked ten minutes to explain. Much confusion ensued. The call ,pf States demanded by Hoffman, announcing the vote of New York, said the delegation was divided, he being among the nays. Sherman explained that if the motion prevailed, an hour be allowed for debate.

New "^ork and other States then voted yes. The previous question was sustained by 573 to 176.

Baynard then spoke ten minutes, opposing the adoption

1

of the Cincinnati

platform. The remarks were received with cheers and hisses. Mr. O'Connor spoke favoring the platform, and arraigned the Administration. After much confusion, the call of the States was proceeded with. 12 M.—On- the question of adopting the Cincinnati platform the vote resulted ayes 670, nays 62, making a full vote of 732. The platform was adopted with much enthusiasm.

Mr. Hoffman presented a petition signed by seventeen tbousaud Germans of New York, strongly endorsing Greeley.

Mr. Ray, of Indiana, offered a resolution that the convention proceed to nominate for President and Vice President.

The New York amendment, that the Chairman of each Delegation cast the vote of each State, was then adopted.

Alabama gave 20 votes for Greeley Delaware cast her six votes for James A. Bayard, hisses1 and cheers. State after State followed for Greeley. Georgia 19 for Greeley, one blank. On the vote for Candidate for President, Horace Greeley, of New York, received 686 and James A. Bayard, of Deleware, 44. Intense enthusiasm prevailed.

The following is th^official vote for President: Whole number of votes cast 725, of which Greeley received 686, Black 21, Groesbeck 2, Bayard 16.

The Missouri delegates declared that the Stale would give the largest majority for Greeley of any State in the Union. New Jersey gave nine votes for Bayatd, and nine for Greeley. New York went solid for Greeley, with intense enthusiasm. Hoffman declared that New York would give more votes

for

Greeley
