The announcement of yesterday's work /at Baltimore will kindle an enthusiasm throughout the country the like of which has not been seen in our political contests for more than a quarter of a century. The people will now take up these can didates and elect tliem, as earnestly as they secured their nomination at Baltimore. They took it up ill op position to the protest of many lead ing politicians, and to-day it goes before countty with such an indorse ment as no Presidential ticket ever received. It is eminently tho work of the people. the DEMOCRACY IDENTIFIED WITH THE CAUSE OF TIIE PEOPLE. Trum the Clliittanoogii Times. By this action, tho party that has heretofore, with much show of rea son, been known as the reactionary party, has thrown aside tho weights and clogs that have incumbered it, and has fairly and squarely identi fied itself with tho cause of the peo ple. The restoration of friendly re lations between tho States ; harmo ny, peace, equality before the law for black man and white, and its watch words henceforth. Tho supporters of Greeley and Brown and heart and soul for tho Constitution as it is, administered in the spirit of liberal ity and kindness. REFORM, REUNION, AN1> RECONCILIATION. From the Columbia South Carolinian. In view of tho great popular sen timent which has been developed in the country, it will not be denied that the Baltimore Convention has faithfully carried out the views of tho people whom it represents. Be fore it assembled, the Democratic decree had gone forth ; and when it met it promptly registered that de cree and formally sanctioned it. It has lifted itself above the piano of mere partyism and exhibited a lofty patriotism. May its action be crown ed with success, and thus a triumph be secured to the cause of reform, reunion, and reconciliation. AN HONEST ADMINISTRATION. Fr.im the U':;i»sti;u (Va.) tiiizettc. Horace is now our candidate for the Presidency. He is the chosen candidate of a Convention in which the South had a voice. He is kindly disposed toward us. Ile has declar ed that, if elected, he will know no party and no section, and no past differnces or sectional questions, in the administration of tho Govern ment. From him we may at least expect something like an honest ad ministration of tho monetary affilies of the country ; for whatever he may be, we cannot charge him with theft, nor venality, nor avarice. THE WAVE OF 1'OrULAl! SENTIMENT. From the Augusta, ((Ja.) Constitutionalist. The overwhelming majority for the Cincinnati ticket on the first bal lot, in the Convention, shows the di rection of tho wave of popular sen timent throughout tho Union, and is an augury of tho triumphant suc cess of tho nominees cf the Liberal Republicans and tho Democrats. Now that Greeley and Brown are before tho country as tho standard bearers of tho two great parties who have joined hands in order to throw from power tho present corrupt Ad ministration, we trust that all lovers of honest government, all who do siro to be rid of Grant and his usur pations will give their cheerful sup port to the ticket and do everything in their power to secure its success next November. greeley before grant always. From the Lyuclibiu'g Vii'Riniuu. The lines are now clearly drawn, all the moderate Conservative ele ments of the country being enlisted under one banner—that upheld by Horace Greeley—while the Radical destructionits follow tho flag of U. S. Grant, and go wherever his per sonal fortunes may lead. There will be no other candidates who can com mand a respectacle number of fol lowers ; and so we are shut up to tho choice of Greeley and Grant.— One or tho other of these candidates will bo the next President of the United States ; and, wo feel quite sure, a majority of tho people do not believe it should be Graut. It is only necessary therefore for all who are opposed to tho present corrupt rule to vote for Greeley to insure his election. tiie country demands a ciiangf in tiie government. From the Sehiiu (Alii.KTime». The die is cast ! The Baltimore Convention, the mouth-piece of the Democracy of tho Union, has spoken and placed our standard in the pen ding Presidential contest in the hands of Horace Greeley. Such ac tion by the Convention was antici pated and expected by the Democ racy, and desired by all who sincere ly wish to see tho Federal Govern ment rescued from the crew that has control of it. The country demands a change, and tho belief is well nigh universal that tho only chance of se curing that change is in a union on Mr. Greeley of all the elements op posed to the Grant ring. tu'5 best possible result. From the l 'ichmond Whig. Wo need not say that, in our judgment, this result, in tho present condition of parties and tho country, is the very best that could bo effect ed. We have long believed that the best salve for the wounds of a coun try lacerated by a terrible civil war just such a combination as this, em bracing the most patriotic and un selfish men of both the great par ties. It was a union which required the highest and the most benignant atatesmansiiip and most self-denying patriotism, and happily for the cc«r try, that statesmanship and patriot ism were not wanting. Success un der such a banner opens no now wounds and heals the old. That is its distinguishing and pre-eminent virtue. a CLOSE and cordial coalition. From the Xorlollc (Va.) Journal. The adoption of the Liberal Re publican platform and the nomina tion of the Liberal Republican can didates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States by the Democratic-Conservative Con vention at Baltimore, yesterday, es tablishes the fact of a close and cor dial coalition between the opponents of Grant, his policy and his party, without reference to present preju dices or past associations. The Lib oral Movement, initiated aud inau gurated in Virginia, assumed such shape in Missouri as to mako it na tional iu its comprehensiveness. The live men of tho country who were dissatisfied with the Adminis tration and alarmed by its usurpa tions, entered into the movement en. tliusiastically. Liberal Republicans. Democrats and Conservatives were all applauding it. None but Radi cals wcro actively agaiust it. None but the Bourbons were passive ob servers of its progress. a lesson to tiie politicians. From the itnoxvillc (Tenu.) Press and lleraltl. The patriotic instincts of a long' suffering peoplo have taught politi cians and party leaders a most whole some lesson in tho art of popular combination. In spito of all the sel fishness and prejudice and intrigue of party, tho peoplo by a common impulse have come together, and, yesterday, through the last and most important Convention of tho cam paign, completed the work of con solidating their own strength against tho corrupt personal Government at Washington. The work of organ izing aud harmonizing the opposi tion, so auspiciously begun at Cin cinnati, has been most gloriously concluded at Baltimore. The as surance being now given that Grec ley is to lie the solo candidate against Grant, the thousands of Republi cans who prefer tho Republicanism of Greeley to tho personalem of Grant, no longer restrained by their hcroditiiry fear uf the old Democratic party, will hasten to avow their ad herence to the Liberal cause. the liberal movement tiie outgrowth of popular desire. From the Columbia (S. C.) i'liu -nix. The nomination of Mr. Greeley, which was at first a source of grave apprehension to muuy, has proved to be a most fortunate ovent. Ho has developed immenso popularity, aud seems to grow in favor as tho hours increase. Every stop, indeed, in tho Liberal movement from its inauguration to the present time has been a success, which proves at once that it has been directed by saga cious counsel, and that it is tho out growth of a wide-spread popular de sire. The people are tired of war, war measures, war politics, and sec tional hatred and strife, and arc anx ious for a restoration of friendly aud confidential relations between the States, and to return to the ways of peace, and order, and economy, and civil law. If they are elcctcd, then we may hope that the despondent and oppressed South, whose candi date Greeley especially is, will be re stored to her full rights in tho Union and South Carolina bo speedily re lieved of her accursed carpet-bag misrule, which the sympathy of Grant's administration has alone sustained thus far. REUNION AT LAST. From the Charleston (West Va.) Free Press. In the nomination of Horace Gree ley and Gratz Brown tho National Democratic party has immortalized itself. It has evinced a lofty patri otism—a genuine lovo of country which challenges the admiration of mankind. It has made a sacrifice oi' party-feeling for the good of the nation unheai'd from in political his tory. Tho gratitude of all parties si due this noble body of men. From the South, all crushed and trampled on as she is, it will rise like the per fume of a bruised flower, for her de liverance from the military faction which, forever brandishing the sword, wishes to terrify her into a slavish submission inconsistent with man hood ; the North—longing to hold out tho hand of reconciliation to her smitten sisters of the South-laud, but ever kept back by the cruel pol icy of the present Administration— will thank them for allowing her the long-desired opportunity ; East and West will resound with tho praises and admiration of a united people. TIIE DAWN OF TIIE DAYS OF PEACE. Fsoni the Riehmond Dispatch. The expectation of tho country has been realized. Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown aro tho Demo cratic nominees for President and Vice-President of the United States. The work of tho Ciunciuuati Con vention has been finished. They who worked at Cincinnati " builded better than they knew." It seems to bo a fresh illustration of the adage that " man proposes but God dis poses." Is any friend of decentrali zation apprehensive that Mr. Gree ley will try to dwarf tho States ? Is any Freo Trader afraid that ho will use his influence to perpetuate the Protective system ? Is any Demo crat afraid that he will turn his back upon the Democratic party when he coines into power ? The answer is that Greeley is au honest man, and would not accept votes under false pretenses. He vfill live up to tho Cincinnati platform and his own rendering of that platform. He will restore good government to the conn try, peace to the people, and frater nity between tho North and the South. Ho will allow the war is sues to drop out of sight. Ho will walk in tho ways of peace. His acts will redound to the glory aud honor of his coUlitry, and to tho perpetuity of the union of the States. broad and honest principles against fraud and tyranny. From the Charleston I'ourief. The Liberal Republicans and the Democrats being united iu principle, both the ono and the other being engaged in the struggle to rid tho country of the corrupt Crcsarisin which is destroying its liberty, it was but natural that they should select the same candidates. The result of this selection will necessarily be, that tho strength of neither party will be wasted, and the power of both will be concentrated on the conimou ob ject. Now that the Convention lias spoken, the contest is narrowed down to two candidates. Either Greeley or Grant will be the next President of the United States.— The ono stands on a platform cm bracing broad an honest principles, while tho platform of the other sanc tions every fraud, every act of tyran ny, every wasteful grant of tho pub lic domain to gigantic corporations, the imperalism at Washington, and the supremacy of the sword over the law. This is the real contest, and iu voting for tho ono or tho other wc indorse ono or the other set of prin ciples. The enthusiasm for Mr. Greeley camo first from the South, and at the South he will receive a support as earnest and as enthusi astic as he will receive among his warmest friends at home.

This is what the Shrevcport Daily Times says of tho Laserc-Randolph fusion ticket : " The New Orleans Picayune which has consistently supported Grant under its present management supports tho fusion ticket fixed lip by a few members of the Democratic State Executive Committee and of that of the reformers. Of tickot it says : As it appears and as it stands, no ono can say that it is in the Grant interest or the Greeley interest. Precisely ; and that is the just tho very reason wo washed our hands of it, aud wliy_ the country democracy will have nothing to do with it. We will go into no combination that does not look to the defeat of Grant and Giantism, nor will our people. This was also the sentiment that prompted tho action of the democrat ic convention, and tho two or three members of tho committee who have acted in opposition to the prepared policy of that convention and of the party, will not bo endorsed. If the jobbing of the Picayune moans any thing, it means that Kellogg had a hand in the job as will as Messrs. Laserc and Randolph." ,: Now, Johnny," said a pretty teacher to a pupil, can you tell mo what is meant by a miracle?" " Yes, ma'am.
