Mr. Belmont said:
GENTLEMEN OP THE CONVENTION: It

gates of the National Democracy, wi
have met in order to present the Ame
can people their candidates for Preside
and vice-President, for whom they c

Conservative rotes of this great repu
Ho. At our last National Conventic
on the 4th o? Joly, 1888, I predict
that the election of Gen. Grant wot
result in the gradual usurpation of
the ' functions of Government by i
Executive' and' by Congress, to be <
foroed by the bayonets of a militi
despotism. The vast majority of 1
people of the United States have v
nessed with grief and sorrow the a
redness ot that prediction, and tl
look forward with fear and apprenons
to ihe dangers which are threatening
if Grant be re-elected, and the pol
thus far pursued by {he Radical party
continued. The thinking men of b
parties have become alive to the faot t
we are now living under a military des
tism, over-riding the oivil authority
many States of the Union. That by
enactment of arbitrary and unconst
tional laws, through a depraved majo
in Congress, the rights of the States
infringed upon, and that Caesarian?
centralization are undermining the ~.
foundations of our Federal system,
are swooping away the constitute
bulwark erected by the wisdom of
fathers of the repnblio. These ab;
have beoome so glaring that the wi
and best men of the Bepublioan pi
have severed themselves from the R
oal wing, whioh is trying to fasten u
the country another four years' reig
corruption, usurpation and despot:
and whatever individual opinions
may entertain as to the choice of
candidate whom they have selectee
opposition to Gen. Grant, there cai
be any doubt of the patriotio imp
which diotated their action; nor oan
fanlt be found with the platform
principles upon whioh they havo pl
their candidates. The resolutions ol
Cincinnati Convention are what
ooontry require, and they must <
maud the hearty support of ever;
triot throughout the vast extent ol
land.
In the struggle whioh is before ni
must look to principles, and not :
and I trust that- no personal prer
tiona or prejudice will deter us

General Grant has been a good, fai
soldier during our oivil war. His i
born and indomitable courage hos In
to orown the Union arms with via
and thu American people have rew*
his services with the most unbou
generosity. I am willing to coi
that his intentions on taking the J
dential chair were good and patr
but he has most signally and sadly 1
in the discharge of the high trus
posed upon him by the confidence
grateful people. He is at this moment
the very personification of mis-role,
which we are opposing, and his re-elec?
tion is fraught with most deplorable con
sequences for the welfare of the republic,
and endangers the liberties of our peo?
ple. On the other hand, Mr. Greeley
bas been heretofore a bitter opponent of
tho Demooratio party, and the violent
attacks against myself individually,
which have, from time to time, appeared
in his journal, do not entitle him to any
sympathy and preference at my hands.
But Mr. Greeley represents the national
aod constitutional principles of the
Cincinnati platform. By his admirable
and manly letter of acceptance, he has
shown that he is fully alive to their
spirit, and that if elected, he means to
oarry them out honestly aud faithfully.
Should you, therefore, in your wis?
dom, deoide to pronounce in favor of
the Ciucinnati candidates, 1 shall, for
one, most oheerfolly bury ull past differ?
ences, and vote and labor for their elec?
tion with the same zeal aud energy with
which I have supported heretofore, and
mean ever to support, the candidates of
the Demooratio party. The American
people look with deep solicitude to your
deliberatioos. It is for you to devise
means by whioh to free them from the
evils under whioh they are suffering; but
in order to obtain that end, you are
called upon to make every sacrifice of
party preference. However muob you
might desire to fight the coming battle
for our rights and liberties ander one of
the trusted leaders of the Democratic
party, it will become your duty to dis?
card all consideration of party tradition
if the seleotion of a good and wise mea,
outside of our own ranks, offers a better
chance of success. You mast remember
that you are here not only as Democrats,
but as citizens of our common oountry;
and that no sacrifice can be too great
which she demands at yoar hands.
Mr. Belmont, after some personal re?
marks, nominated Thomas Jefferson
Randolph, of Virginia, aad said it is an
auspicious omeo that a soion of the
author of the declaration of independence
is to inaugurate the struggle of tbe De?
mocracy for freedom and equality foi
every American citizen, and against op?
pression and tyranny in our fair land,
Randolph was elected by acclamation.
He said:
I am aware that the very great honoi
conferred upon me by this body is du<
to no personal merit of my own; but ii
a token of respect to the State fros
which I como, and is a recognition o
other oiruamstaaces, possibly and ven
titioas. I am, perhaps, the oldest mern
ber of this body, aad a life of eight;
years spent iu the Democratic-Repabli
oaa party constitutes me a senior mern
ber. I remember freshly every Fresi
dential contest from the first eleotion o
Jefferson to tbe present time; and I cai
say, with truth, that I remember non
which involved higher questions of pet
sonal liberty, local self government, bo
nest administration and constitutions
freedom than the present, or one wbiol
demands of our party and oar people
calmer or more earnest resource to prc
dential principles. It strikes mo as th
daty of this body and of this hoar t
wrest the Governmeat from the baud
of its present despotic and oorrapt bold
ers, and to place it in honest hands, t
restore the citizen everywhere the pron
consciousness of personal right, and t
all the States perfect integrity of loci
self-government. This, with the reoof
nition of the supremacy of the civil coi
stitation and the law, will, in my jud{
ment, discharge all oar present daty.
Theanti-Greeley Democrats assemble
between 12 and 1 o'olock, this afternooi
at the Maryland Institute. There wei
present about 100 persons. The' Coi

Flanders. It was moved aad seconde
that the preliminary arrangements mac
yesterday for organization be tempor

furthering this object, the speak
moved the appointment of a oommitl

Yan Allen, understanding that t

Missouri is now a free State ia thia

overtbrowu, und by that uuiou strife
and hate have given pince to peace and
to good will. By that union, liberty,
with equal rights for all, has given to the
State uabouuded prosperity and to the
people a joy unspeakable.
So great was their joy and complete
their success, the Liberal Republicans of
that State were not without making an
effort to extend the same uni >n of Libe?
ral and Democratic Republicans, and
with it the same blessing of liberty,
peace and fraternity, to all the other
States. [Rounds of applause, j
Accordingly, in State Convention, on
the 24th of March last, they resolved to
invite the Liberal Republicans in all the
States to meet them in National Con?
vention, in Cincinnati, on the first day
of May. The invitation was accepted.
There wus, indeed, a great response.
They came by thousands-in such vast
numbers, that a delegation convection
of representatives of all che States wae
formed, both from principle and from
necessity, to givo form to its proceed?
ings. Many of thu ablest men in the
country, lately leaders iu the Republicac
party, were there, aud took part iu itt
deliberations. They were assured thal
a large number of Liberal Republicans,
in every State, aud from all portions ol
the country, stood behind ready to BUS
taia them; aad they were morally cer
taiu that if the millions at home we tbii
day represent would ouly come to theil
support, the number of Liberal Republi
caus would reach half a million or more

some cries of "Never!"] Shall wo neu

a uoion of men with the Burne faith u
the great aad paramouut issue of

of men who have tho sagacity to

Tho issue of to-day is not the rope
the Missouri compromise, nor thu c
tioa of slavery in the Territories, 1
which alone the Republican party
organized in 1858. Ic is not npon that ]
which followed, when the Lecoinpton
Oonatitution for Kansas divided the j
Democratic party in twain, and elected
Abraham Lincoln tc the Presidency in
1860. It is not the question of seces?
sion, nor of war to put down rebellion,
nor the abolition of slavery in the
States, by military order or by constitu?
tional amendment, upon which Mr.
Lincoln was re-elected in 18Gl. Nor yet
is it tho question of reconstruction, or
of the fourteenth or the flfteeuth amend?
ments; nor the question of negro suf?
frage; nor the establishment by Federal
power of universal negro suffrage,
us a condition precedent to the ?States
of the South having rights, or any
existence even as States in the Union.
It is none of these questions that is now
on issue. All these have been issues of
tho past, (treat issues, sufficient in
themselves to create and dissolve politi?
cal parties, because ideas are stronger |
than met? or parties; but they are all
past issues; they have been fought out,
and fought to the end, in tho fornm and
in the field; and they are no more in is?
sue to-day than the Mexican war, or the
war of tho rebellion. [Applause.] We
could not reopen them if we would, and
they falsely misrepresent our purpose
who say tbat we would reopen them, if j
we could.
This great union, therefore, means no
steps backward; forward is the word,
[loud cheering;] and, first of all, it
means to-day for all the other States of
the South what it has already done in
Missouri. Instead of proscription test I
oaths, suspension of habeas corpus, and
military despotism, it means personal !
freedom for the individual, and republi
can good for all. [Loud applause. ] In?
stead of negro supremacy, upheld by
proscription and the bayonet, it means
equal rights to all men, white as well as !
black. [Loud applause.] Instead of I
thieving Governments, organized to
plunder subjugated States, it moans tho
dominance of intelligence and integrity.
Instead of strife, hate and robbery, it
means justice, liberty, peace, loyalty and
good will; and, gentlemen, f jr our whole
country-East, West, North and South- |
it means, instead of a war President,
trained only in a military school, and
whose wholo character has been formed
in the ideas, arts, habits and despotism
of military life; instead of this, it uaans
the election of a peace President, trained
in the ideas, arts, blessings and republi-1
can simplicity of peace and universal |
freedom; [loud cheering;] of peace not j
enchained, of liberty ucl under arrest,
awaiting trial, sentence and execution
by drumhead court martial; bat that of
liberty and peuce which the Constitution
secures, by placing the civil law above
the sword; [loud applause;] by preserv?
ing in full vigor the sacred writ of habeas I
corpus, and by the right of trial by jury.
[Applause.]
lt means another thing, and perhaps '
the moat important of them all. It [
means to arrest the centralization of
power in the Federal Qoverument.
[Loud cheers. ] It means to assert the
vital principle of our republican Byatem,
in which it moves and has its very being
-that constitutions are made by the
people, in their sovereign capacity, for I
the express purpose of defending and
limiting the powers of government; [ap?
plause;] the powers of all governments.
State or national. It meana that we are
determined that Presidents and Govern?
ors, Congress and State Legislatures, and
every department of the Government,
shall obey the Constitution. [Prolonged
applause.]
Gentlemen, I have thus briefly stated
the situation, the duties and the purpose
which brings ns here. A great respon?
sibility rests upon this Convention. If
its action shall be such-andi doubt not
it will be-as to put un end to the mis?
rule which for the past few years has
afflicted our beloved country, this gene?
ration, and generations to come after us,
will remember with pride and gratitude
the Convention at Baltimore, of the 9th
