HORACE GREELEY IN HIGH FAVOR Reminiscences of the Last Great Démocratic Conventions. SKETCH OF THE DELEGATES BY STATES. The South and Its Feeling About Northern Records, Collapse of thé Free Traders. The Unterrified Arriving and Confident. Bautrors, July 4, 1872. Judging by the fizzing and hissing of fire-crackers for the last thirty hours, tne Fourth of July is as well remembered here as elsewhere in our patri- otic and fulminating country. The heat continues, but @ showers fell at five o'clock which modified the temperature, and the Baltimoreans take credit to their city that the h at has been at no time within four degrees of the point it reached thermometri- cally in New York. Camp followers and delegates are already dropping in, and the extent and activity of the newspaper men of the country may be infer- red from the tact that above three hundred lodging rooms liave been engaged for reporters and editors elone, for the present Convention. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? It is presumed that the Convention will adjourn Wednesday evening, possibly with a night session. Others think it muy hold over tili Thursday after- noon, but this depends upon the latitude accceded to speech-makers, If there be 4 “big talk,’ Indian fashion, the nominatiof may be followed by a day’s paiaver and exchange of opinion. The Greeley men, who will be vastly in @ majority, say they do not care how much time be accorded to the Bourbons, for the Grecleyites are nor only confident that they. possess two-thirds uf the vote, but also four-fifths of the proscenium talent of the fiery, appealing sort, and are not anxious to tighten the rules and organization, and thereby incur profiting by majority power where the precedents and traditions demand a square two-thirds senti- ment, THE BANNER GREELEY STATES will, probably, be Virginia, ‘Tennessee, Minots, and Missouri. Virginia wili appear with a powerful young soldiery—the flower of the Confederate army--resojute and earnest and treined,in the ways of Lee, Stonewall Jackson and J. E. B. Stuart. They haye a solid and unanimous Greeley con- stituency, and will support Greeley even if he be not nominated here. This State has seen the good of the influx of Northern capital, and has freely had the advantage of visitation and converse with liberal Northern men. It is a State where the staid and moral Presbyterian element is large and rational, and it has no time to waste on batties and prejudices, where it claims that the Virginia line bore such great part that its honor and courage are assured, and its com- mon sense and reason require to be equally devel, oped to calm and direct the less intelligent South- ern States. The attendants upon the Virginia del- egation will be a numerous and youthful body, - de- termined to look back upon nothing and to head the new era. Teanessee—not a State of the equal political etv- Hization of Virginia—had good schooling in the Stokes-Senter cacopaign, when, with a mild repub- lican (Senter) it beat radicalism, and obtained the franchise for rebels, ‘This State led of for Greeley, and feels its impo: tance naturaliy. Missouri is the State of Gratz Brown and the Blairs, and has never been otherwise than disposed to all practicable fusions. The Iiunois democrats have heen the most for- ward, harmonious and sanguine iv this company, and want Greeley or nothing. ‘The ablest delegations in point of individual his- tory are California, Virginia, New York, Wiscousin and Connecticut. ARRANGEMENTS IN PRUGRESS. Theatrical performances at Ford's Opera House have had the appearance of postponing the decora- ‘ons there, but by Monday every emblem and symbol will be inits place. To-day a large meeting of ward delegates was held in Baltimore to con- trive parades and contribute fands to the reception of stranger delegations, and this evening a meet- ing of what 1s called the “Resident Committee” was held in Kaine’s Hall, composed of Mr. Ponder, of Delaware; Ex-Governor Bowie, of Maryland; F. O, Prince, of Massachusetts. A regis- try book is to be kept in a store be- neath this hall to keep the count and addresses of delegates as they arrive, and indicate board- ing and lodging places to such as are unprovided with the same. The following delegates and editors have taken rooms at tho St. Clair Hotel:—Americus Club, of Philadelphia, 160 members; Dr. Moritz, of the German Democrat ; ¢ les K. Backus, of the Detroit News ; the Vin ia delegation, consisting of twenty-two persons; also Governor Walker, of Virginia, and Colonel J. L. Gilman; General J. B.

The second day Cessna reperted the organi- vation, led by the name of Caleb Cushing, author of the Alabama case, for chairman. Then there was a grand row to prevent Douglas minorities in State delegations voting. Joshua Randall, father of Sam, denounced Douglas, and was reminded by Richard- sou that he was nothing but an old whig, at which there was the first challenge to the glorious duel. Cushing, with his brown coat, gray pants and biack » eye-glase and fine, healthy head, took the chair, pronouncing the Convention “perpetual sentinels on the outposts of the constitution.” This second day found Douglas stock above par, with an assured majority, but not two-thirds, and Cagger, Cassidy, Richmond and Cochrane endorsed as legitimate New York delegates. That night the rejected Fernando Wood was serenaded, ‘The third day the fitteen minute rule of speech- making was feated.

THE CONVENTION AT BALTIMORE, 1860, The foregoing survey brings us to the great and ruinous Convention of June 18, 1860, in the city of Buitiwore, when the South beat the demociatic party and brought upon itself the horrors of war and the humiiiation oi defeat, while the democratic party has never s.nce had a bite of the federal patronage or the pleasures of administration, Five weeks beiore this Democratic Convention reassembled the Constitutioval Union party, 80- caled (a fusion between the whigs and the late Know Nothings), hud convened in salt.more city, in an old church now removed to make way for tue United States Court Buildings, and had nom.nated Jonn Bell, on the second bailot, for President, and Edward kverett, on the tirst ballot, for ‘Vice-Presi- dent. ‘this Union Convention had the full sympathy of the roughs and conservatives of Baltimore city, wuo were manipulated by Henry Winter Davis, and they kept up one piodigious roar during the whole Democratic Convention for their candidates.

Tom Hyer and the prize- fighters were at Chicago represeuting tae Ey. of great moral ideas, as they will probably here for Mr. Greeley. William M.

He is the most popular democrat on the Pacific coast, and the democratic politicians there are generally afraid of him. He has an intoresting family, and spends most of his time in or near San Francisco, This old gentleman served in the United States Senate, and at the outbreak of the war was selzed on a steamship, while he was making toward the rebellion to give it his help, and sent to a prison. ACCESSORY BEFORE THE FACT AT QUERETARO, He aiterwards went to France and was one of the most prominent parties to induce Napoleon to enter Into the Maximilian scheme, and was made a duke by that unfortunate Prince. Gwin has been ac- cused by the republicans of being the wire-puller in the movement which led to the death of Brod- erick, abd it is well known that Broderick was always anxious to have a duel with Gwin, but the latter preferred that somebody else should take upthe matter. The Southern wing of the demo- cratic party does not appear on the surface in Cali- fornia now, and Gwin is the only landmark of the past on that side. DownRY. John G. Downey, of the city of Los Angeles, who is said to be an Irishman by birth, leads the Cali- fornia deegation. Downey is a small, wiry, good-natured fellow; cool and shrewd in politics, who became Governor of Califorma by the resignation of Governor Latham, who pre- ferred to go to the Senate, aud thus Downey be- came the war Governor of the State, and behaved with prompt decision on the side of the Union. He was entirely popular at the beginning with the Unionists, and has quite recovered his standing ‘with the democrats, so that he must be A WORLDLY AND POPULAR MAN, He has a bank in the city of Los Angeles, and is the correspondent there of William G. Ralston and the Bank of California, which would seem to place him in opposition to the financial interests of his old associate in the executive office, Latham, whois the President of the rival bank at San Francisco, Dow- ney is married to a native California lady, one of the original Spanish proprietors of Calliornia, The city where he lives Is the capital of what are called the “Chivs’—otherwise the Southern chivalry. Downey’s neighbors in the snug little city of Los Angeles are a son of Albert Sidney Johnston, General Stoneman, of the federal army, Pio Pico, the last native Governor of California, and @ great number of the original settlers of the State. CASSERLY, Kugene Casserly, of this delegation, is a stall, white-haired, not very imposing-looking person, who is an orthodox Romanist, and a very wealthy man—worth, some say, $2,000,000. His home is Oakiands, across the bay from San Francisco, and his splendid Jaw practice is now delegated to others while he atuuses himseif between managing his real estate and working actively in politics. Cas- serly 1s # querulous, suspecting sort of man, and @ strict party adherent, and apt to taik too much. When in the Senate he debates on almost every proposition, He is disposed, however, to stand in opposition to the Jarge monopolies that are charged with ruilng that coast. He was long @ resident of New York city, and atone time was a journalist. Downey is a positive Greeley man, and Casserly bas come over that way,@lthough he is never very enthastastic for anybody. Gwin professes to be # thorough recon- structionist and to have neither regrets nor pride for the past, and he believes in Greety, The rest of the California delegation is not important. It is very evident, a3 we scan the faces of the arriving delegates and look over the lists of those yet tocome, that the large majority of the men who are at the head of the new movement are really new men, and that we are living, to «a great degree, among 4 new generatton. THE 'RNNSYLVANIANS. Perhaps the Peunsyivania delegation presents more names pertaining toa former era than any other State, and, therefore, Pennsylvania is re- gurded here as very shaky on the Presidential ques- tion, some of its heralds having their heads buried in the past and thelr neels swinging in the pair, kicking agtinst the inevitable of the resent, There are two or three regular rowdies in this delegation, Bill McMullen, although an alderman, &c., acquired his prominence by being the foreman of a hose company in Philadelphia, sees Sutsce y ‘oe at as violen! na a Ike Legon apd several Oller wen iy this delegation reeley, “or any other Ablest’ mon tn’ the Ina duo manipuistor of the partyin ws Stato cane vass, and takes rank in that John W.

He ts very ardent tor Greeley, and, in fact,’is the backbone of the dele> gation 1 buat respect. GRIRGB W. CASS, OF PITTSBURG, is @ nephew of the Hoa, Lewis formerly of Micaigau aud President of the,Fort Wayne iiall- road, vue of the long arms of the Pennsylvania Kailvosd Company. He has been & coastant candliate for Governor fer some tine t, and would have been — clected Reretofare but for his well known connection with the Penusylvania Rauroad, which rendered Lim to some degree unavaiiaole and b. ings tubo opposicion all the r.val interests, such as the tvading Rauway and the Lehigh interests, Unless he has changed of late he 1g not very urdent tor Mr. Greeley. Cass lives in Pittsburg, and tho editor of the democratic newspaper there (#ari) is also on the spot. Barr made a fight against Greeley as long here Was Sey renee Tor it, and toox in his horns go as not to be ridiculous in the latter days, SAM JUSEPHS, another Pennsylvania delegaie hore, is a iat and unctuous lobvywt at Harrisburg, about up to the standard of a good ma.y 0: frieud ‘!'weed’s iovmer representatives to Albany. On the whole the Pennsylvania del gation 13 no improvement, in poly of characver, oo what the Stute has uereto- fore contribued to national conventions, but there are some young men in it, some old Germans, and a good many irish, as ‘body can see by pro- nounciug the names of Riley, Monaghan, Leiseurng, Krets, Carrigan and Kleintz. COLONEL GREEN Coionel Charles G. Green, of the city of Bosto is a line, venerable old unan—one of the very vides! editors in tas country—and has been prominent in democratic politics for tlity years, and yet has man- aged his newspaper atiairs with sucu tact that during the war he was abie to maintain a profitable journal in Boston, which has always had more or jess of the support of the liberal republicans, The Boston Post was at first disposed to look askant upon Mr, Greeley’s nominuttou, but good humor and urbanity prevailed at last, and the paper has tor neariy two months given Mr. Greeley Warm aad friendly support. MISSOURI MEN. William Hyde, editor of the jourl Republican, which was tue first daily democratic paper in tae United States to hoist to the top of its columas the names of Greeley and browu—Mr, Hyde having telegraphed to this effect from Cincinnati—is & large, dark-skinned, qulot man, Who has been for many years With the sessrs, Knapp, proprietors of the Aepudlican, Jetterson Davis wus present at Mr. Hyde's wedding, avout tive years ago. ‘The Mis- souri delegation is, on the wuole, strong, with a aair admixture of young mea in it, and every mun is @ “battalion for Greeley. ‘The Musion of the liberal and deinocratic parties in Missouri has long been completed, and Frank Riair and uratwz Brown, although tie keenest spirits be- neath the movewent, are perhaps, after all, mere Fepnesentatines of the feeling of the great popu- ace. NEBRASKA, George L. Miller, deleg.te at large from Nebraska, publisues a sharp and sclutillant democratic paper at Omana, which has probably the largest circula- tion of any journal between tne Missouri river and the Pacific coast, MISSISSIPPI. E. Barksdale, a leading editor of Mississippi, pub- lished a paper cailed tue Missippian beiore the war, and appeared at the Charleston Convention as the persona: representative of Jetfersoa Davis. He 13 now growing old; is of medium size, wiry and nervous. He talks in a sharp voice, and frequently has an agreeable smile; but beneath there is hard sarcasm und a metallic twinkle, which indicate a former fire-eater with lost opportunities. . WISCONSL 4, Everybody is familiar with the appearance of Senator Doolittle, who heads the Wisconsin deiega- tion—a large, square-shouldered, xquare-heaued man, with a iook of force, heavy jaws, rough beard and square bristiing eyebrows. ie was the best trieud President Johnson had, and lost all his pros- pects in the Republican party in the vain endeavor to save Johnson trom committing mischief upon himself aud the country, Doolittie’s abilities have never been questioned by any, and his character is equally irreproachable. He is a strong, incisive lawyer, @ fair student, and holds a position in the democratic party of Northwest hardly enjoyed by any other man in it, READLEY 1, JOHNSON, of Richmond, is a lawyer from the city of Frederick, Maryland, He rose to be a Major General in the Confederate army, and at the close of the war over- came every obstacle in the resumption of his pro- fession,and he probably has the largest practice now in Richmond city. Johnson is a man of the type which cannot ever be suppressed for a long period of time, his method and public qualities com- pelling him to return to the service in time of gene- ral need, FITZHUGH LER, the nephew of General Lee, has the old property on the Pamunkey River, where Washington trst met his wife, and where McCleilan’s headquarters were established in 1862. He was a good officer during the war and is a quict gentleman. ROBERT OULD, who was much abused by the fanaticism of public opinion at the close of our war, on account of a letter he had penned about the exchange of prison- ers, also comes from Kichmond to the Vonvention, Ould is a large, troubled-looking, neighborly sort of man, Whom nobody ever accussd of meanness, but he held an unenviable position duriug the war— that of Exchange Conunissioner for prisoners. It is a little remarkable that the federal General Mulford, who held a position corresponding to Ouid’s on the Northern side, is now in Richmond city, a member of the democratic party and an ad- vocate of Horace Greeley, Quid and Mulford have always been good friends, BOCOCK, None need to be advised that Thomas S. Bocock, long a popular and powerful member of Congress froin the Valley of Virginia, heads the Virginia del- egation, and that associated with him is John D, Baldwin, a fine and humorous old whig—a singed cat in appearance, but a hard man to tackle in the way of debate. ‘This delegution is as full of Greeley as an egg is full of meat. N ‘ORK’S DELEGATES. The New York tion is, in many reapects, a reminiscence and admonition of old days. There ig the venerable Augustus Schell, come down to us from a former generation, and the aifable and agreeable countenance of Governor Hoifman, on the way to a future generation. S. $.

He has not been @ very ardent Greeley man. A very good speaker of this delegation and a strong Greeioy man is Wil- liam ©. DeWitt of Brookiyn, lienry Richmond, who has secured the two best rooms in the Curroll- ton Hotel, is a young and ambitious man in State politics, Wealthy, very reverent to the memory and traditions of his 1at and he has been mentioned a8 @ possible candidate for Governor of New York, INOTS.
