The high "confirmations strong as-proofs of Holy Writ," .and as numerous us the sands on the seashore, were produced to prove that Dr. Pierce, thn proprietor of Dr. Sage's Catarrli Remedy, is in earnest and ncans what lie says, when he offers $3000 teward for any case of Catarrh which he cannot ouro, yet there would be 'oae skeptics and fogies who would con Sinue to shout, "lfumtbug !"

Now, this Dr. homespun is the identical, good natured old fellow who honestly believes and per sists in declipring that this earth is not round of spheribrel, - but flat as a "slap Jack," and does r.ot turn over, otherwise the water would all be spilled out of Den con Bascom's mill pond. But astr ,nomical scienco has positively. demonstrated and proven, that-Dr. Honesptin is wrong in supposing th0s earth to be flat and station "try, and medical science is daily proving the fact that ho is no less' mistaken au'1 be hind the times in regard to the curabili ty of Catarrh. In short, it has been posi. tively proven 4tat this world moves, and that medical sci.nce is progressive-the opinion of Dr. lomespun to tho contrary not withstanding.

The gods, in presenting their gift to Epimetheus, could have scarcely re ceived more pleasure from the sight of their present than the honest people of the United State's this day do, in the conviction that they, and not poli cians, are represented in the sterling cx ponents each moment arriving in this city. For the first time in many years the anomaly is presented of unselfish ness in politics. This exeoptional case of political heroism shows, I appre bend, that patriotism has not died out in the South, but that the same spirit which has hitherto animated it, still exists, and manifests its fruition in .the forgetting of prejudices, and a generous sacritiee of party predilec tions for the good of the whole coun try. llanent vestigia mnorientis liber tatis, and its pulsations are exhibited in the stern determination of each of the delegates to -reinstate honesty and redeem the fallen prestige of the Union.

Ample telegraphiqr faoih ee were conte ~ently arrangel,'wi'ih a full corps of operators, and over fifty di re3t - wire.;, connecting the building with all parts of the Union. The press of the count.y was reprenented by over 180 reporters, who were com fortably accomodated on; the rear of the stage. Your corre,obdent,hota' ever, was fortunate in securing a seat in one of the commodious and elegant opera box en, which besides being much cooler, was especially desirable for seeing and auditory purposes. The large hous3 was crowded to suffoca' tion, and the unique and original Greeley fans were kept in constant motion. Within the dais, I notice lion. August Belmont, Gov. Swann, Geo. 13aine, Rev. llenry Slicer, and other distinguishcd gcntlemen. While the preliminaries were beibg arranged, a tall, stately woman walked immediately in frent of the stage and presented her credentials to one of the committee. It was whispered among the crowd that she was Mrs. Cady Stan. ton, Susan Anthony, Tennie Wood hull &c., and soon she was greted with loud, cries, cheers and shouts, which continued till she took her position in the rear among the reporters. After the laughter and excitement had ina measure subsided' the Honor able August Belmont cilled the Con. vention to order and spoke at some length. Ile said substantially as follows At the last National Conv tion on 4th July, 1868, lie predicted that the election of Gen. Grant would result in the gradual usurpation of all the functions of the governanent by the Exeoutive and by Congress, to be en forced by the bayonets of a military despotism. That the vast niajority of the people ~of the United States has witnessed with grief and sorrow the correctness of that prediction, and wit,h fear and - apprehension looked forward to the great 4langer wh.ich threatens if the present head of the party ia re-elected, and the policy of the patrty is continued. Tihat, the thinking men of both par ties have become alive to the fact that a military despotism is overriding the .civil authorities in many 8tates of the Union, and that by a depraved innjority in Congroas, the rights of these States are infring'e4 and tram pled upon, and t~Ca' .rism and centralization a uidetmining the very foundations r".urr fe4eral syc tem, aud: are oweeping'i ay^tho eon stitutional, bulwarks :e ted by the wisdom of the fathers'o the republic. These abuses have,.bec3ano 'so glar ing and obtrudite thht dhe wisest and the best inet of the Republican party have sovorod thems-:ves from the power which is now trying to fasten another four years of corruption and despotism upon the country and whatever individyial opinions may ex ist as to the choice of a-candidate, all were and must be united in the com mon purpose to rciustate' honesty. That we must look to principles not men; that no personafLas.shotild d6 . ter us from diso4arging odr uuty to the American people. Gen. Grant's war record was good, and he had been generously rewarded. In accepting the highest office from the people, his intentions may have been good, but he has most signally failud in the dis. charge of the high trust iinposed upon him. Ilo is at this moment the very personification of the misrule which is oppressing us, and his re-election is fraught with the most deplorable con. sequences dangerous to the liberties of the people. That, on the nther hand, Mr. Gree ley did not deserve preference at his hands, not, only from his vio lent porsoelt attacks on himself (the speaker), but for his opposi tiot' .to the 'Democratio party yet ht, the ospt time, Mr. Gree ey ' ropreien -the national and oonrtitutioneii ..rinciples of the Ci ianati, , Mftrn, and has shown rpanlA lte, he is fully alive ud it. elected, fully ~thim out llon"stly , ;Bhould.Aho Conven t -d ' d' to"pt'opone in .his favor, the speaker for one would cheerfully bury all past differences and labor for his electiop with the 'tame %0al and energy with which he has pupported and ever will support the bandidates of the Democratie party. In earnest words he, impressed upon his audience the necessity of'dieo?rdibg party tra dition, if the' selection of a good and wiso man outside the party presented bettor chances of success. That they were aseembled not us domocrats but as citizone of a common country, and that no' sacrifice could he too great which nbo demands at their hands. In conclusion, he feelingly offercd his resignation as 'Chairman, and ex preSod a deterinination,"that tho' h6 would no longer occupy the prominent position that fo'r twelve yeare he had held, yet his 'ceal'should ne1er ibate. 4 Mr. Belmont is'an earnest, energet; i6 speaker and 'received tbp' marked attcntion 6f hIs hearoers. Ills allusion' to a union with Liberal Republicans and his commendation of the Cincin nati platfornr' was receided rith great applause, and oh his allusion to Greeley, the enthusiasm was tre mendoun, ladies, dtlegites, visitors, ushers, pages, every one, cheered most vigorously.

GENTI.EIEN OF TI;E CONVENTION I thank you for this great honor, words can hardly toll how mucb, but you will allow me to pass at once from what is personal to speak of the great -occ. eion the duty and the pur pose which bring us here. Two years -bearly five years-after the bloody period of the civil 'war had closed, the Liberal Republicans of Missouri, fanpplause] feeling keenly all the evil of the prosoription, the test oath, the hates and the strifes, and the passions of the war which had been left- upon thom long-afteri the war itself had ceased, an1 feeling keenly the ex4ou tive and federal power in their loyal elections, determined to organize a movement to restore equal rights to all our citizens, [applause,] white as well as black ; [applause,] to restore local self-government, and to arrest the further centrali2ation" of federal power. [Applause]. They then said this thing has gone far enough, if not already too far. The timo has come when honest and patriotic Republicans must Say "halt!", and must .reassert the vital doctrine of Fepubl,ican government that, under the Constitu tion, the powers of the Yederal Gov ernment are defined and limited, [ap plause, and ories of "Good !" "Good!"] and that the people of the States have the right to govern them selves in their own 'donientie affairs, upon the basis of the equality of all the States before the higher law before the Constitution-and the equality of all. men bofore the law [applause ;] loyalty, amnesty, suffrage and peace ; taking no step backwatd taking no right apd franchise which had been secured to the blanks. Pledg ing themselves to support them all inetheir vigor they at the samotime 4emanded in the name of peace in the name liberty in tile name of R1o pl.lioan Governmont itself, and gedom and equal a11tt should be restored to th'e white peo pl, [groat applause.] They organiz. od nearly forty thousand strong and called upon B. Gratt Brown [ap plause,] to lead the movement ; they placed h im in nomination for Gover ndr; then what followed ? oighty thou sand Democrats and Republicans, (cheers) looking upon the success of that movement as above any party triumphs, (cheers,) resolved to sus tain it with their whole strength. Jove ^f country, love of Republican liberty, love of the equal rights of ill men, inspired that union and taught men to a't rtogether who had been politically opposed to each other all their lives upon other questions and in other times, and without violating i'onor, logic, conscience or cnsistency on either side. ' This patriotic union was based upon highi- grounds:'than ordinarilj control political nation. [Great applause ] Even those who had fought against each other in bat tie, clasped hands -over the bloody chasm, [renewed applause,] and side by side, like brother,, with hearts beating in unison-boating strong with tho came high purpose-they helped to bear its flag to a glorious victory. That, gentlemen, is libe. ral Republicanism, [enthuiasm,] and that is Democratic Republicanism. [Great enthusiasm.] The victory which came from that union was the end Of proscription and test oaths, of pain and sttife, and of all disloyalty in a' word, the real end of the civil war caine swith that victory, and did not eome until then in Missouri. [Intense applause.] It redeemed that State ; it gave the right of free men to 70,000 men wh6 had been bound aind fettered. Misouri 5i now a free State in this Union, with all her rights, dignity* and equality under the Constitution, and not onie mur.. mur of disloyalty is anywhere heard. By that union for freedom, federal die. tation in Missouri, in her local elec tions, was overthrown, and by th at union, strife and hate have given place to peace and to good will by that union liberty, with equal rights, have given to the State an unbounded prosperity and to its people a ioy unspeakable. So great was the joy and complete their success that the Liberal Repube lieans of that Stato were not without making an e'fect to extend the same union of Liberal and Democratic Ie, publicans, and with it the same bless ings of liberty, peace and fraternity to all the other States. [Round of applause.] Accordingly in State Conventions on the 24th of Marel, last, they resolved to invite the Libe ral Republicans in all the States to meet them in National Convention in Cinoinnati on the 1st day of May. The invitation was accepted ; tliere was indeed a great response ; they came by thousands in such vast num bers that a delegation Convention of the representativos of all the States was formed, both from principle and necessity, to give form to its proceed iiqs. Many of the ablest men in the country', latoly leaders in the Repub lican party, were there and took part in its 'deliberations ; they were as sured that a largo number of Liberal Republicans, in every State, and from all portions of the country, stood be. hind ready to sustain thom, ar.d they were morally certain that if the niil.. lions at home we this day represenf would only conic to their support, the number of Liberal Republicans would, reach half million or more. (Great cheers.) That Convention presented candidates to the country for Presi dent, Horace a Greeley, (Long and continued cheering,] and. for Vice. President, B. Gratz Brown.. |More enthusiasm,j and that Convention for the promoting and success of the prin ciples declared on that platform,. there enunciated, and the support of the candidates nominated ,by that Convention, hav.e cordially welcomed the co-operatio. of all patrictie citi zens Without regard to previous po litica: opinions-theso principles werd clearly and concisely stated in that platform itself, and rested on the let 4- -n-oeoptane of Ho race Greeley, [more cheering,] and they are so well known to you all, I will not reir.te. them. For weeks that platform 'and these candidates have been before the country. Meanwhile the Convention called to nominate General Grant, [hisses], and to endorse and continue the principles, practices, and policy of his administration, has done its work. [hisses.] As between the Liberal Republicans and the follow.. ers of the Grant administration, the issue is clearly up. It is Grant or Greeley. [Immense enthusiasm, and cries of "Creeley."] While these events were transpiring, the Demo cratic Republicans, whom we repre sent, held their conventions in all the States. The Liberal movement-the example of Missouri-the. Cincinnati Convention, its platform, its candi dates, with their letteis of acceptance, were before these Conventions, which were very largely attended by their ablest men, and the paramount ques tions before these Conventions were, shall we accept this invitation to co operate with the Liberal Republicans? [Great applause."] Shall we adopt the platform ? [Loud cries of yes, yes, and some cries of never.] Shall wo nominat' the same candidates? [Yes, yes.1 And shall we elect them ? ]Yes, yes ; loud cheering.] Or shall we co-operato and non;.inate other candi. dates [no, no; Greeley, Greeley,] and strive to elect them over both the other tickets which are already in the field. Gentlemen, these are the questions which you are to decide, and, here. That you will decide thems wisely I cannot doubt, nor cnn any one doubt, who looks over this boa~ly of men, who, representing, as they do, three millions of citizens, and who feels as every one here must feel, the high and patriotic purpose which inspires you gentlemen. W hat means this great movement which we everywhere sec ? What means this p reposed union of threeo~millions of Demnora tie Republicans with a mil lion, may be, of Liberal Republi cans ? What means this union upon a common platform, and this- pro. rContinued on 4th nage>1
