Official proceedings of the National Democratic convention, held at New York, July 4-9, 1868.: Reported by George Wakeman, official reporter of the Convention.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CO.VENiTION. The Secretary called the name of Nebraska. 69 The CIIAIRMAN of the Delegation. - Nebraska makes no nomination, but will cast her vote for GEOI:GE H. PEINDLETON. The Secretary called the name of Nevada. The CHAIRMAN of the Delegation. - Nevada makes no nomination. The Secretary called the name of New Jersey. ionmination of Governor Joel Parker, of New Jersey. Mr. LITTLE, of New Jersey. - Mr. President, the State of New Jersey nominates ex-Governor JOEL PARKER. (Cheers.) He has a national reputation. During the late war he sustained the general government with all the force at his command, but at no time did he permit the Federal power to make any encroachment uponi the rights of the State. He is a man who will receive, as we believe, every Democratic and Conservative vote in the country. He is the soldiers' friend; he is the champion of State rights; he belongs to a State that at one time had the only Democratic Governor in all the North; he belongs to a State that elected a Democratic Governor in the midst of the war. I will not detain the Convention by any further expression as to his merits, claims, or qualifications. His record is his highest praise. The Secretary called the State of New York. 'ornination of Sanford E. Church. Mr. SAMIUEL J. TILDEN. - The State of New York, by the unanimous vote of her delegation, nominates to this Convention one of her own most distinguishled citizens; a gentleman honorably associated with her public offices for many years past; trained and experienced in executive administration, of decisive and energetic will; a gentlemanii who has been repeatedly submitted to the ordeal of a popular vote in the State of New York, and has always come from the trial with distinguished success, and who, if he should be the nominee of this Convention, would help us to achieve in this State a more brilliant triumph than any we have ever yet accomplished: a gentleman whom the delegation can cordially and sincerely recommend to the Convention and the country as fit in all respects to fulfil the greatest civic trust in the world —the chief magistracy of our great republic (Cheers); and who, as a candidate, would be unassailable and available. The delegation from the State of New York submits to this Convention the name of SANFORD E. CHURCH, of New York. (Great cheering.) The SECRETARY. - The State of New York nominates SANFORD E. CHURCH. (Applause.) The Secretary called the State of South Carolina. The CHAIRMAN of the delegation, Mr. PERRY. - The State of South Carolina makes no nomination. The Secretary called the State of Ohio.
