USE, of Douglas County. The Democratic Nominations. The Xational Democratic Con vention, which assembled at J alti more on the Oth inst.,has placed in nomination Horace Greeley of N?w York, for the Presidency, and 1. Grata Drown of Missouri, for the Vice Presidency. Although there mav be a grave diflercncc of opinion among Dem ocrats as to the expediency of such .nominations, there can be none whatever as to their binding obli gations ifpon the party. The Con C.'cntion was the regular and legiti- mate exponents of the voice ol the part; its nominations fair and 0 formal, and hence they are binding on the members thereof. There fore, iii obedience of the behests of asucli Convention, as a strict party journal, we lling their names to the breeze, and shall give thni a full and codial support. And why not? For the last three years the Demo cratic party hfts plainly seen the open and shameless efforts of the Grant Administration to strike down the last vestige ot popular liberty, by the passage of laws which virtually place the suffrage of freemen under the control and q dictation of the Federal Govern ment and the domination of its military power; and in this living emergency, when a free elective franchise the very corner-stone of all Republican liberty was threat ened with displacement, we have called upon the liberty-loving men of all parlies and creed to hasten to our support in its defense. Our call has been heeded and obeved, and foremost among the men who have joined us in solemn protest against the destruction of popular liberty, has been the two distin guished men who have been nomi nated at Baltimore. Being then in sympathy with us upon the great vital question now before the people, it is both futile and unwise to carp upon any differences which may exist between us in regard to lesser or dead issues. If your house was burning, would q you refuse the aid of your neighbor in extinguishing the flames because thc-y had differed and quarrelled with you in regard to matters of religious creed or political faith ? In the great danger, you would totally forget these differences; you would invite their co-oporation, and with them you would work ide by side to wrest impending ruin. And so in this hour, when the very fabric of Constitutional liberty Iz endangered, we should link all diiferenccs of opinion; and work and support any and all men who arc right on the weightier matters of law. IvVery Democrat in the land should now give to the Baltimore nominees their cordial and hearty support, not only for the reason idiat they are the regular nominees of the party, tut for the equally proud and good reasons that their election will subserve the interests of popular rights and individual liberty and the perpetuation of the great Democratic orgaization, whose mission has been, is now, fjind always will be, the defense of free institutions. With Grant as President, the suffrage of the peo ple will be stilled and their free voice denied. Hence, Democratic principles, "which csn be overawed only by fraud and the bayonet, would struggle on hopelessly, an'd perhaps go down, extinguished in the deep might of military despot ism. . With Greeley for President, the free voice of the people would be untrammelled, reason would hold and assert her sway, and although the Executive might differ with the masses of our party upon lesser questions, yet our great principles having no undue let or hindrance, would survive and triumph, and 0 our party, intact to-day, and for all time to come, will arain assume I the reins of Government for unlim ited years, and conduce to perpet uate and brighten the glories of IiepuLlican institutions nnd the prosperity and happiness of the people of these confedeate States. In view of these present dangers, and of future triumphs, let the Democratic masses of the land stand by the regular nominees of the party, and give to them that hearty and cordial support which will insure a triumphant victory on the first Tuesday of next Novem ber. Pennsylvania. Fornev's .Press, a leading Iladi cal paper in the United States, and the right-hand bower of Grant, takes this view of national matters and the prospects in Pennsylvania: We have not been among those who have dicounted the strength of the opposition. Looking back at the results of the several State elections in the last three years, the Democratic party alone and unassisted is strong enough to contest the field stubbornly and with no mean show of success. This part has gradually gained control of the entire South, with the exception of three States, and even these we now hold by the slightest of tenures. In Louisiana the Republican party is torn and rent by quarrels over the spoils of office; of Mississippi our informa tion is that it has been Walkerized, and even in South Carolina, where our majority is more than 30,000, the shameless frauds of Gov. Scott and State Treasurer Parker, mem bers of a ring as corrupt and guilty as Tweed's gang, have so disgusted the colored people that they are forming an "Honest .ucpubhean party." AH these signs are not to be disregarded or dismissed as tri fles. Horace Greeley is a weak candidate, offensive to the Ger mans and Democrats, to whose ideas, principles, and organization he has always been opposed, but still he is not to be disposed. Pennsylvania will be the battle ground of the year. We believe that the great majority of its peo ple prefer Grant and Wilson, and that these two men are certain to receive its electoral vote, except in one contingency. Ilartranft and Allen, who are upon the Republi can State ticket as candidates for Governor and Auditor General, have no chance of being elected than Greeley has of carrying Lan caster county, and the only way in which Grant can be defeated in this State is by associating his name with theirs, ami by allowing the policy of their friends to prevail, and to read out of the party and expel from office all who are oppos ed to them. "We have the best of information from every section of the State, and we know the public senti ment that is abroad. Grant will carry Pennsylvania, ami Ilartranft and Allen will be beaten, provide 1 the latter are divorced from the former, and the fight is made upon the merits of each candidate." A CoMi'AUisux. Dogberry said that "comparisons are odious' Of this char acter the Grunt Radicals regard the fol io whig- : "When Franklin Fierce v.-a 3 elected President, hi- was known to be poor, in fact Ik was obliged to call on his friend tor funds to enable him to tit up bis estab lishment at the White House.

England's Counter-Claims. 1 he private opinion entertained by the j British statesmen as to tiie ability of ur j American diplomatists at the present day I can scarcely be flattering, says the San j Francisco Examintr, judging from the cavalier manner in which they have con ducted the Alabama negotiations on their side. Every concession asked for lias been granted by the American Adminis tration and followed by further demauds on the part of the Gladstone Ministry, un til there is scarcely anything of the origi nal claims worth contending for. And now from the most, recent disclosures of this controversy the probability seems to be that the United States will be cast in large damages, tar exceeding the maxi mum of cur direct claims against Great Britain. This will be the resulting ad vantage of that master-piece of Grant's foreign policy the Treaty of Washington on which alone his friends said he might go before the country for re-election, and a gralelul people recognizing in tbi one achievement his supreme merit would triumphantly re-elect him to the Fresi deaey. Indeed we have much to be thankful for to General Grant and Secretary Fish for tue humiliating position in which they have placed the country reducing us. as appears very likely to be the event, iron! the status of a creditor, w ith a very large, if somewhat indefinite, balance against Great Britain, to the condition of a very considerable debtor in solid money, be sides the tarnished reputation that Mr. Bancroft Davis' advocacy will doubtless leave is. The British Commissioners who exam ined our Direct Claims, reported, as we showed a day or two since, that they should he reduced to the extent of almost ten millions of dollars, and now it is said that the Counter Claims being pressed for adjudication before the mixed Commis sion claims considered by us so unim portant as to deserve no place in our hypothetical balance sheets are likely to exceed the entire amount we will be en liiled to under tiie most libera! award at Geneva. Almo.st total ignorance prevails as to the nature and extent of these claims tor indemnity on the part of British sub jectf, and their aggregate promises to startle all the advoca-es of Grant's diplo matic connivances for promoting mud dies and exchanging good solid grounds for damages for tiie rather unsatisfactory uerpuuance of an international -p'tulo iK-st fmuni.-n. The New Yoik World lias had an op portunity of examining copies ot the evi dence taken in some of these cases, and it rinds that the claims ate unexpectedly numtrous, the damages set. forth very large, and the evidence for both facts and noun is by no means to b (iesptse; ,i These claims are succinctly U. damages to person or property ol liiiti.-h subjects done on sea or hind iv our Government. or its agents during the civil war. and when we consider the large number ot British subjects in our country and the great business relations controlled by them, when we n lh-et upon the vast num ber of arrests, seizures, deportations, and the like, arid take into account the un scrupulous ehuraotr-r of ho many of our public servants, both civil and mili.ary. we find reasonable the fear that the rrriovances to be remedied are numerous wild Jormidabit Th-, testimony mat we have examined covets injuries of several sorts illegal arrests and conilnotr.ents of British subjects upon the general charge of uiis'.ov atiy' attended with seizures ot stock, etc.. and destruction of business. dene taiton of in by military dividuals beyond i hi iioveruorf or do toe: ivos I'J'J.if-.S (.1.11 i I . i ' I I I .

Improvcmcnt in the .Senate. The coming election will purge the Senate of nearly the whole brood of carpet-baggers, says an exchange, who. by the most nefarious means, succeeded in being elected to represont. in the United States Senate, several of the Southern States at a period when those commnni ties were under military rule. And there will be changes in other sections. Tho Legislatures of several of tho Radical Slates "m the north and West will elect next Winter. Of the retiring members, only three are Democrats; and it is more than probable that we may elect twelve out ot tho twenty-lour, who are to take their seats in the Senate ol 1 873. Five Libera! Ropnb'icans hold over, also four teen Democrats, making- nineteen; and if we elect twelve wo shall have thirty-one Democrats to forty nine Radicals. Our success will be of the most gratifying character.

A number of del egates arrived this afternoon Nearly all the delegates have now arrived. Over six hundred have been registered at head quarters. As on ye3terday. the principal subject among the delegates has been the ques tion of a straight indorsement of the Cin cinnati nomiuess. The Missouri delegation held another meeting this morning, and wore unani mous for adhering to their policy of a nomination. They appointed a committee of three, and passed a resolution author iing a similar appointment of committees of all the other States, to meet to-night and confer on the subject and settle the question before the meeting of the Con vention to-morrow. At a meeting of the National Executive Committee at noon the question was ar gued in regard to the election af a tempo rary chairman. At a meeting of the straight Democrats at Maryland Institute this afternoon, not more than two hundred were present, the majority of whom were spectators. Of delegates who will not support Greeley if nominated, there were not more than twenty-five at the meeting. A committee of ton was appointed to make arrange ments for the holding of the Convention to-morrow. In numbers and importance the move ment in too insignificant to have weight with the Democratic Convention, as is in dicated that Greeley will be nomi lated with enthusiasm. The National Democratic Convention this afternoon unanimously selected Thomas Jefferson Randolph, of Virginia, to be the temporary President of the Convention, and F.
