1 ! t THE DEMOCRACY. Meeting in Convention at Rochester Yesterday. Hoffman and Greeley Masters of the Field. TAMMANY AGAIN TRIUMPHANT. ‘The Vote at Baltimore To Be Cast as a Unit. ADJOURNMENT UNTIL ‘TO-MORROW. ROCHESTER, May 15, 1872. It was evident on the assembling of the Conven- tion, from sentiments expressed by knots of dele pater scattered here and there, that the tone of the body would be unmistakably in favor of Greeley. Old-fashioned democrats, sich as Lawrence, of Queens; Tucker, of New York; the two Woods, Fernando and Ben; John Magee, of Stcuben; Lan- sing, of Erie; ex-Oongressman Meyhom, of Scho- harie, and others who have run in the groove of Gemocratic regulagity and orthodox Bourbonism for the last twenty years, unqualifiedly urged such an expression of opinion from the delegates, with- out such an absolute endorsement as would show that the Convention intended virtually to instruct its delegates to Baltimore to support the philos- opher of Chappaqua. TILDEN’S POLICY. ‘Tilden, Chairman of the State Committee, with fis usual timidity, favored a temporizing course, and advocated the say-nothing and do-nothing pol- Jey respecting any intimation even approaching Roquieacence in the Cincinnati nominations. He privately urged delegates to send representatives be cpap who had no opinions or convictions fener upon this important issue. In this, rover, att Ai was utterly ‘unsuccessful. ‘TRIUMPHANT. ‘Tho neleotion of the temporary chatrman by the boon Committee of Congressman Lory po a. a from the pres an outspoken and advocato Greeley, exhibited the iach thathe len) lost influence an barren of followers.

But littie remains to be told. tentious gathering, representatives of General Grant, whore re- nomination they urged. It is puzzling the poll ticlans in this section to account for the Conver tion, many saying that the thing was so Oxed and arranged in New York, and that there was no necessity for the habbub we have had to-day. In deed, what enthusiasm there was faintly expressed the feelings of the delegates. GRANT DAMNED WITH PAINT PRAISE, It was no indication of popular sentiment, to be | Grant was cheered, but the friends of the | sure, President were unsteady on the fence and damned him with faint praise. The outside pressure was strong in favor of the Cincinnati nomination, and the Convention could not, of course, be unaffected by it. Since the Convention adjourned the feeling for Greeley is stronger than ever. The people of this section have an abiding faith that, for good or ill, Horace Greeley will be our next President. The proceedings in the Convention were remarkable only asshowing the terrible effects of the repubil- can split. SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Aman wonld get up, look terrifically feree and Say thnt Grant must be President, and thén, wiile the faint-hearted shouts of the clique or the Qus- tom (House were ringing in his ¢ars, would laugh and say, “Well, you know, this thing will have to be done; we have to make a show; Old Horace isa fine old fellow, anyhow. Don’t you think so, sir?’ There never was a convention in this State, I think, 80 badly demoralized as this. They shouted against the north wind and whistled to keep their courage up. A gentleman said to me this evening— “Sir, we cannot give Horace, our own Horace, into exile to please Grant; it’s no go; some way or an- other the old editor led laid firm hold on the affec- tlons of the Ame: SHliet This Grant enthu- slasm fs a thin bub number of guns were being fired at the time in eee of the Convention). “Blows away with the powder,” added he, ANOTHE] INEGADE, Sam Caldwell, the hitherto leader of the republican party in thisState.

Twelve years ago, he sald, the party was brought into existence, with Abraham Lincoln (a man whose name was linked with the history of the country) at its head. (Great applause.)

CINCINNATI VERSUS PHILADELPHIA. What Grant's Government Is and What Greeley’s May Be—Philosophy Before Martial Law. To THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS OF NEW YoRK:— FeLLow Crrizens—The present administration, although fatling to fulfl the first expectations of the American people, is nevertheless attempting, | through its office-holders, to prolong its power for | the next four years. A large portion of the President's original sup- porters, and the entire remainder of his fellow. countrymen, without distinction of party, survey this attempt with indignation and alarm. ‘The history of the administration is a shadowy | record of discreditable (sometimes disgraceful) acts—many of them biunders; others crimes. Ever since the day after the President's inaugura- tion, when, as his first oficial step, he sought to ab- rogate one of the oldest statutes of the republic in‘ order to put a personal friend in office, he has re- peatedly shown himself, on the one hand, ignorant of the laws, and, on the other, defiant of them, { Be has transcended the limitations of the constt- ing for himself functions which that instrument reserves to the States and tneir citizens. He has tyrannously avoided the political assem- blies of our own and other free commonwealths, | local affairs, He has alternately proposed and defeated civil service reform, until, notwithstanding his profes- sions in ite favor, he has proved himself the chief obstacle to its success, He has, in multitudes of cases, made tenure of oMice to depend not on good behavior or personal schemes, He has put crafty and AMBITIOUS PARASITES AT THE RECEIPT OF CUSTOMS, where they still continue to fatten their private purses on the public funds. He said to a nation weary with war, “Let us have peace,” but has kept the word of promise to the | ear to break it to the hope—fostering in the North toward the South a temper of bitterness and re- sentment, instead of fraternity and good will. He has connived at and sustained a number of alien and rotten governments in the Southern States, some of whose officers have perpetrated frauds equalled in magnitude only by those of the | Tammany Ring. | He has habitually stifed investigation, even into | the gravest charges, brought against bis own house- hold.
