WitatifieP may ho the feeeeofrille ;Pr - joint
in the Democratic partiona.:ffeWhaitintoome
prominent, and that is, that heneefo tfihrd there
will be no more denunciation of Nothern men for
adhering to their peouliar opinions n'the subject
ottigvufT,'.and - none, of-that- arrogance and ins°.
lence which have characterised the recent °endue%
of the ffre.eating leaders. The deportment of the
friends of dudge-Douglas st Charleston, so Arm, so
moderato,, and so resolved, under all the 'abuse
heaped 40 them, convinced the People of Smith
Caroline, and all others who were attracted to that'
greet meeting of thi National Deinooricy; that they
bed nnaerrited the tetnper as well as the courage
of thb I Northern Demooraoy. If, nothing, else
ehouldresult from the disonpsion and the disagree-
Meet, this may well be regarded u , sufficient gem
rpsnsation for all the labor of the delegates who;
Ogee there to represent
,thsi well.kiterm 'wishee of
the Democratic„ party of the Union:
"The Southern people are intelligent and brave.
They Can appreciate the difficulties whioh their
allies in the "North 'and Northwest .hiveited to
contend with, while advocating proteetioxi td their
peculiar Institution le the States in which it Is lo
cated, and they are now enabled to understand the
manner in which the Administration-of Mr. Bu
chanan has arrayed itself, againet, this eintiment.
Bad not President Instated on hie Offioe-holdeis
electing themselves as delegateito the Convention,
JOdie Douglas would have been nominated on the

If the Baltimore C on tentionoe *Moves no' other
renown in political history, it will iistrtainlY be re-
membered as one of the most Orderly and sedate
Conventions that we 'have had for many years.
Speaking in a comparative sense, it 'very re
spectable. There is none of the enthusiasm, nor
wire-pulling, nor extravagant eloquence that we
see so frequentlyin political assemblies.
de fares I am able to judge, - liid I writ? this an
hoist...before thrOOnVention'ilicttieserable, n6thing
.but harmony 11100 Mil to prevail ! • The delegates asst
like men about to 'engage in an experiment, and
any difficulty that may arise will be in the
.arrangement of the detaill. Intrinaloally and
politically,, thof foil that,:their 'Convention is
pipher. They hope, however, to place it either
on the right or left aide of the Demooratlo or Be
publioan unit, with a stair of increasing or dind
, nishing the Worth Of these organisatione. So, af
ter all, if you accept this figure, it is nothibg more
than a aimple sum in political arithmetic. The
people will give um the answer in November.
Some of your old Democratic friends, of twenty
years standing, are familiar , with the building in
whiels the Convention *assembles. It is 'the Pint
Presbyterian Church, at the seines -of Fayette and
North dints, and li the place where Martin . Viet
Buren was nominated for President. It 1c now in
the possession of the United States Government,
having been soldas the site of a U. S. Court
House. The,Convention is permitted to use it by the
courtesy of Mr. Secretary Thompson. It was in
tended at first to have obtained the Maryland in.
or, the, Front : etreet Theatre; but the com
mittee were tumble to obtain either of 'these
buildings. The hail is arrayed with a great - de
gree of taste,' 'and presents an' attractive ap
pearance, It ' about half as large as Musi
cal Fund Hall, and, fnoludingi the galleries,
will accommodate between a thousand and fifteen
hundred people. The southern gallery is devoted
to the use of the ladies, a largo number of whom
are In attendance. The 'prevailing eolors among
the decorations are the red, white,. .„and
blue. There are •no less than four Ameri
can flags in' different 'Parts of, the hall,
beefier any quantity of gaudy muslin festooned ,
around the galleries. .The president's table ,coon-'
the place of the pulpit ; .0n each side are the
obairs of the vice presidents, while in fropt are the
secretaries and reporters. There is a full-lingth
portrait of General Washington behind the chair,
surmounted by a gilt eagle. The painting is every'
indifferent one. '
General Sam Houston is kerning up as wproml
nent candidate. Be. is regarded as a strong nomi
nee, and will be earnestly pushed by .the delegate'
from the,tiouthwest. It is said, however, that his
recent letter in opposition to the method of , nomi
nating candidates by Conventions, will prove fatal
to his prospects here: Those who know "Old
Ban Jacinto," howeVer, claim that the Con-,
vention may safely 'Maki -the nomination
and run no risk of: his Withdeawalt 'Hie friends
elites that he will 'get the vote of - Newyork,
not on the first, at least on the'seoond or third bal
lot. He is considered in the light of a positive
and net a negative Candidate. - , The. s volition
position of Mr. ,Houston Is something of
an anomaly. The Conetsiation 'deleted him as a
LsOompton Democrat ; the Americans insist on his
fealty to their peculiar dOotrinee, while the Consti
tutional Union men think that he le constitutional
enough and Union enough for 'all praetioal purl ,
poses.' I should not be surprised at his nomination' .
Speaking of Sam Houston, as a military , oandi.'
date, I should not forget in this connection to
allude to General Winfield Not!, who has ao
deo friegds among
,the delegates eagerly and
earnestly canvassing the Main chances. I do
not think the General will please the South,
while it is pretty certain that the memory of the
"sweet Irish brogue and Ads German accent" will
array against him the combined American and
Know Nothing elements. I take it that the Gene
ral is out Of the question, the New York Herald to
the contrary notwithstanding.
There .is- a , disposition among many of the
Northern delegates to press McLean or Bates, with
the. view qr conciliating Chicago. It may' be
safely . - assumedthat all this has been &ban.
dotied. The South will not tolerate any eon
cession to Chicago, or any measure that
lea" to the consummation of any such purpose'
They regard Chicago as completely opt., of the
question, and, while they nominally ignore
apy
thing of a pro-slavery or antislavery nature, yet
they ,wish a man with a reserl comprehensive
enongh, to make an extreme Southern fight.
Tor you must remember that, during the
recent political einipisigns in the South, Smith
foisnrele as the Louisville Journal, and Riehmond
Whig, claimed tbi support of the Southern people
on the ground that:Abe, wave more extreme in
their views on slavery,tban .the Democrats. lir.

FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS
'.l3latilitoan, May 9.—The city presents an ani
mated'. appearance to-day, from the throng that
halt been attracted by the assembling of the Con
stitutional Convention. '
Tho headquarters of the various delegations ars
thronged, and there is a great rush to obtain
tiokets of admission to the old Presbyterian
Ohurob, in which the session of the Convention is
to beheld.
Delegates from every State except Oregon and
South Carolina, bave.reported themselvee. Some
of the delegates have, however, been reported in
advance of their arrival, expeoting to reach the
city today.
The Interior of the ball presents a "gay ,appear
anoe, having been festooned with red, white, and
blue.
Ample accommodations have been provided for
tho ladies, one of the ext. erosive galleries being ap
propriated to them,
By noon the galleries were densely packed.
Much enthusiasm was manifested as the delega
tions appeared and occupied the seats allotted to
them.
The appearance of each one of those who have
been distinguished in the field of polities was the
signal for loud applause by the galleries. -
The Convention was called to order at noon by
Bon. J. J. Crittenden, whose appearance was
greeted with loud and prolonged cheering.
Prayer was °Hared by the Rev. Dr. James Mc-
Cabe.
Mr. Ciittenden moved that Washington Hunt,
of New York, take the chair. The motion was
unanimously agreed to.
SPEECH Op HON. WASHINGTON MIT
Mr. Mont, on taking the °hair, made the follow
ing apeeoh :
Garmusterr : I find myself most unexpectedly
called upon to preside over the prelludnary pro
ceedings of this Convention. It is a omit which I
do not feel at liberty to refuse; yet I regret that
some other name has not been proposed.
The proud and animating spectacle presented
here on this mouton revives cherished recollec
tions, and kindles feelings and sentiments of pa•
Watt° hope.' It carries the mind back to those
days of blessed memory when the fathers of our
country were assembled in council to form a per
fect Union, and establish the foundations, broad
and deep, of a political system which should pre•
serve forever American Liberty, Union, and Inds.
pendence. [Applause.] -
The spirit which animated them will Inspire us
on this occasion. It wilt be our object and aim to,
strengthen the institutions which we received from
their hands, and to strengthen that feeling of union
MA fraternity which constitutes us one people,
and without which union would be impossible.
[Applause.]
We have come together, on this *cession, from
all parts of our widely•extended country—from
North and South, from the east and from the
West—to deliberate and take counsel together for
the common good of the whole country. We have.
come on a mission of peace to strengthen the chains
of the Union, arena revive the spirit of national
affection in the land, and to proclaim that we are, and
ever intend to be, bound together by common ties.
[Applause ] We are brought together by no par
tisan influences, for in times like these the inte-
rests of party and schemes of personal ambition
become utterly insignificant and worthless. [Ap-,
please ]
These are too fleeting and too contemptible, I ,
trust, to impede the action of a free people in pre-'
serving their rights and freedom. [Applause.] Let
us know no party but our country, and no Platform,
but the Union. [Great applause ] It has long
been apparent, and of late become too painfully
evident, that we have int party in this country, at
the present moment, unless it be the friends of the
Union who are already here, capable of furnishing
a remedy for the dlstempors under which the coun
try is suffering. The once proud and Invincible
Demoorsoy, which has wielded the powers of 'GO
vernment for many years, has been rent In twain
by the fall spirit of sectional discord, and it has
run aground upon the shoals and breakers of pope-,
lar sovereignty, and the mysteries of Territorial
government. [Applause-I I fear it is beyond the
power of any surgical or medical skill. I think
there is no sorcery or witchcraft left,.by which
the political cauldron can be made again to produce
that harmony of oehesitm which we once saw in the
ranks of the Democratic party.
We have another party, which proposes mainly,
to deal with this same subject of popular sove
reignty and management of the Territories, and
the question Is presented tens as the great and per
tinent Issue o 4 the day, whether slavery shall be
extended where the winter temperature' is many
degrees below sere, and In which I will venture to
say no slave.owner could be induced to emigrate
or settle ; and while we aro called upon to discuss
a miserable abstreetionornd enter into a Presi
dential contest upon it, nothing is stated—nothing
proposed—in regard to the great functions and &L
-UC, of the General Government, which concerns
the people of the United States at large. While a
portion of our people are straining their energies
to decide particular issues, they seem to forget the
rights, honor, and welfare of the whole country. I
have said that enrs is a miseign or peace. Ile it
our task to revive the national spirit of concord
which the Constitution was Made to secure. Very
solemn andAmportant responsibilities reed upon
this Convention.
From the character of those whom I see present
—from the oharaoter, patriotism, and intelligence
of the people—l am sere that the deliberations of
this' Convention will have an important infitteatee
in aiding and protecting our country from that to
which I have referred. I bona the spirit of for
bemuse* and moderation whloh pervaded in the
early days of the Republio will inspire the council
today. I trust it will be the first and foremost de
sire in every heart to cultivate sentiments of tam-
Goa and mutual 'good will—that we mey feel, both
Korth and South, that we are one family} of freemen
—lapplausej—that we are tasolvod to disoharge all
the duties which' appertain to our Constitution ,as
citizens of a free and independent Repnblio, not
fearing the power of man, but trusting in the over
rattea-providenso of God to crown our Mita with
Ms blessings. flnamenie applause .1

The announcement of the nem es watt received

Mr. Hunt returned thanks in a pertinent ad
dress To be called upon to preside over such an
assemblege wen an honor fqr whielt he returned
profound thanks He felt that ho had received a
double share of their kindness to-day. He would
discharge the duties of the office to the best of his
ability, setiefied that all present recognised the ne
cessity of order and decorum, and that this Con
vention would illustrate that gentlemen could yet
come together and dismiss pnblio affairs with mute
al forbearance and self respect. The Convention
contained representatives from two sections, which
hod differed upon certain points of public policy.
There were those in both sections of the
country who would make discord a System, but
there were those from both portions of the country,
and they were here to.day, who wanted to
bring. book the people to the consideration of

isted at the foundation of the Government. But
they did not prevent the founders of the Republic
from forming a Union, and there was no reason
why these differences should estrange the people
of the two sections. It was vain and preposterous
to seek to divide those whom God had joined to.

He concluded by expressing the wish that no dis

mony, and the trust that there would not be mush
embarrassment in the construction of a platform.

Mr. Charles Lathrop, of Pennsylvania, moved to
proceed to nominate and !zealot for candidates for
President.
Mr. Edward !open, of Pennsylvania, offered a
pubstitute that each State nominate a candidate for
President. end the Convention proceed to a ballot;
the candidate having the smallest number of votes
on each ballot to be dropped, till the result is
reached.
Mr Randolph, of New Jersey, moved 'to make

Mr. Harris, of Missouri, said he desired an op
portunity to confer with the delegations of the
various States and tied who wee the beet man put

therefore thought the Proposition to proceed to a

the passage of Mr Shippen's -resolution He
thought thut all had had ample time to Make up
their minds ahem this movement originated. Who
wanted to know arlytbing more of Hon. John Bell?
{Applause
Mr. Coggin, of Virginia, moved that Hon. John
J Crittenden be invited to take a seat on the plat
form. Carried by acclamation, and with applause.
Mr. N G. Pendleton, of Ohio, was satiefled that
the Convention would be able to operate more
harmoniously if time wee afforded the delegates to
consult together. Between the names of Fdimoro
and Bell it woe diffinut to choose. Re moved an
amendment that a committee of one from each
State be appointed, to whom each delegation shall
indicate its preferepoes, se as to Remo unity of
action.
Mr. , Froderiek W. Grayson, of Pennsylvania,
thought the Convention had even more important
work Rode than the nomination of a oandidate for
the Presidency. We have to erganize a groat
national party, and, when it triumphed; he' anted
it to do Bo on principles.' He 000ift. not 'agree to
take any man, no matter what were hie ante
cedents, who did not stand fairly oh a platform of

meaning of the Constitution were involved in the
content between the two existing parties. They
differed as to whether Congress had the power to
legislate in regard to slavery in the Territories.

his Union party should ignore that disturbing is

Mr. Leslie Coombe, of Kentucky, mild. be was so
thoroughly impressed with the importance of a
platform that he had prepared three of them—one
for the Democratic, one for the Republican, and '
one for the 'Constitutional Union party. For a
harmonious Democracy be would present the Vir

on slavery--one to keep It out of the Territories,
and one to force slavery' into them, to be adopted

Mr. bintaler, of Misoeuri, said his State wanted
no platform, but would be satisfied with a proper

C. H. Hopkins, of Georgia, would suggest - a
platform in one word, one on which three mil
lions of people could stand—that was the name of
Houston, of Texas, the Bete of Ban Jacinto. (Ap•

whose life furnishes a platform. We wanted a mill

Mr. Brastus Brooks, of New York, did not pro-.
poie to disenis either', thorned - 0e of the' nendidstiv
or of a platform. Be thought the allusions made
this af teraeon were premature and unfortunate.
Speaking for seventy delegates from New York. he
desired to say that they wanted no platform ',but
the Constitution, as interpreted by the constituted
authorities. Be trusted that the Convention would
take such action that, , Jwareafter, neither the ex
tremists of the North or South would be permitted
to administer -the Government .It was else to
learn by experience to be just and tolerant cowards

unanimous. The people of this country are heart
'sick and bead-sink of what are called party plat
forms. At Charleston, the Democracy literally de

publicans had two classes ; one conservative, who
favored the fugitive-slave law and addressedltbem

that the rules of the National Hodse of Represents-

Mr. Gases, of Missouri, felt very moth inclined

Mr.' JOHISOR, of Arkansas, defended the present
bill as one of compromise end concession, and there..

defeat the measure. The Democratic Senators
would not support 'a pure homestead bill, giving
away the lend without any remuneration, buc

Mr, Masongpf Virginia, said tbat, if it was pro

they might discriminate who should be the re

unfair to give the privilege of purchase to some,
and withhold it from others.
Mr. Piton, of Ohio, spoke in opposition to the
