New York, July 12.-The committee appointed by the Baltimore Convention to announce to Mr. Greeley his nomination assembled at the Fifth avenue Hotel this morning every member present. Soon after 12 o'clock the committee proceeded to the Lincoln Club to meet Mr. Greeley, who was present with two or three friends to receive them.

SENATOR DOOLITTLE addressing Mr. Greeley, said:

"The National Democratic Convention had devolved upon the committee now present the pleasing duty to wait upon him in person to notify him of his unanimous nomination for the Presidency by that convention, official notification of which he now presented to him. The published report of the proceedings showed that there was great unanimity, but only those who took part in them had any idea of the enthusiasm with which it was determined to sustain the Liberal Republican movement and to support the principles contained in the platform adopted by the Cincinnati Convention, and they felt that the surest means of doing so was to nominate and elect the same candidate."

Mr. Doolittle then introduced each member of the committee to Mr. Greeley, and after a cordial greeting he replied to the announcement.

MR. GREELEY SAID that perhaps it needed more time and consideration before replying fully to such an important communication. It may be that he should have replied in writing, but inasmuch as he had addressed a letter to the committee of another convention, which had been extensively published perhaps it was not necessary, that he should at this time make formal and full reply.

He accepted the nomination, he said, and with more pleasure from the gratifying spirit with which it was presented. His position was a proud one, and it was nevertheless an embarrassing one, but he trusted this embarrassment was only temporary. It subjected him to misconstruction on the part of valued and life long friends. but he was assured that the time necessary to vindicate his motives and the disinterested and patriotic course he had determined to pursue before he received such hearty co-operation. "While you," said Mr. Greeley, "in making this nomination, are no less Democratic, but even more so in accepting it, was as much a Republican as I ever was." [Applause.]

He was not much accustomed, he said, to receive a nomination for President. If he had he probably could have responded more fitly. This was all he had to say, except to invite the members of the committee, or as many of them as could make it convenient, to visit him at his farm at Chappaqua. He could assure them of a warm welcome. He should be there to-morrow, and could then consult and confer more freely than at this time.

The committee then withdrew, and Mr. Greeley made a brief visit to the National Committee of Liberal Republicans.
