"THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.
In aceoidance with our duty as a Democrat
ic editor, we raise to our mast-head, to-day,
I tie names of the National Democratic nominees
for President and Vice President, STEPHEN
A. DOUGLAS,of Illinois, and HERSCHEL
V. JOHNSON, ot Georgia. We do this be
cause they are the regular nominees ol the
party, having been placed in nomination by the
action of two-thirds of all the representatives
properly accredited to the National Convention.
In laising the banner of DOUGLAS, we must
t.e permitted to disclaim any intention to assume
an attitude ol hostility to the National Adminis
tration. We have always sustained MR. BUCH
ANAN, and will continue to do so, as long as we
have no reason to believe that his Administra
tiation will interfere against regular Democrat
ic nominations. The contest is not, at present,
between Douglas and Buchanan— not between
l.ecoinptoi. and Anti-Lecompton. These are
by-gone and settled issues. l'he battie is be-
• ween sectionalism, (as represented on the one j
hand hy the fanatical "Republicans," and on j
the other by the equally fanatical Disunionists
of the South,) and Nationality as emblazoned
on the banners ol the Union Democracy. VVe
ire for the Union, "now and forever, one and |
inseparable." We are for giving the Southern
people their Constitutional rights—nothing
„,ore —nothing less. Non-intervention by
Congress with slave' y in the territories, as de
clared in the Nicholson Letter ot (Jen ( ass, as
set forth in the Democratic platlorm <t IS:V2,
as embodied in the Nebraska Hill in iSo-t and
. ngratted upon the Cincinnati Platform in 1556,
is the great principle for which S. A. Douglas
is now doing battle, and "-ink, or swim, live
or die, survive 01 perish," we are bound to
-laud by him in the contest. That principle
was the shibboleth ot our iaitli in '56 ; it was
our solemn pledge to the people , it was our
bond with the gallant men who elected James
Buchanan : and as men and Democrats we
.\mnot, dare not,blot it out.
It is unnecessary for us to speak ot the histo
ry of Judge DOUGLAS. Every school-boy
knows it. His colleague on the ticket, IION.
tl V. JOHNSON, has been Governor of Georgia
and Judge of the Supreme Coutt ot that State,
fie is an able man and a true and tried Demo
crat. Huzza for Douglas and Johnson

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
( We lack the space to publish in lull 'he
proceedings of the lite Democratic National
Convention, during its session at Charleston ami
Baltimore. Our readers are already apprised
ol the result at Charleston, and as nothing was
done at Baltimore until the report of the Com
mittee on Credentials, was presented to the
Convention, we, therefore, omit all the procee
dings prior thereto. It will be remembered
that in a number of the Southern States, elec
tions were held pursuant to a resolution adop
ted at Charleston, to fill vacancies existing in
delegations fropi various States, said resolution
having special reference to the withdrawal
of certain delegates. The delegates chosen at
those elections presented their credentials to
tii e Convention, but were met at the threshold
by the delegates who had withdrawn and
formally severed their connexion with the Con
vention. To settle the claims ot these differ
ent sets of delegates, the Committee on creden
tials continued in session until Friday morn
ing last, when three different reports were
made. Tim majority report, submitted by
Judge Kp.lm , of Missouri, took ground in favor
of the admission ot the new delegation
from Louisiana, the new delegation from
Alabama, the original delegations from
.Mississippi, Texas and Delaware, anil in lavor
of both sets, with proportioned votes to each,
from Arkansas and Georgia, it also decided
in favor of Mr. Chaffee, of Massachusetts, and
Mr. Fallon, of Missouri. The minority report
made by Mr. STEVENS, of Oregon, recommen
ded the re-admission of all the seceding delega
tes and the exclusion of all the new delega
tions elected under the resolution adopted at
Charleston, it also invited South Carolina
and Florida to participate in the Convention,
though those states had refused to send dele
gates. Mr. GITTINGS, of Maryland, made a
report agreeing with the majority report of
Judge KRUM, with the exception that it favor
ed the admission of the original delegates trom
Alabama. Subsequently, Mr. Gittings with
drew his report. The vote was then taken on
the motion to substitute the minority report of
Mr. Stevens tor the majority report, which re
sulted in the rejectionof the former—yeas iOOJ,
nays 150. The whole majority repoit was
then adopted, except that section admitting both
sets ot the Georgia delegates. The action ot
the Convention in this regard, was the signal
for a secession of portions of the delegates from
Oregon, California, Kentucky, Tennessee,
North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia.—
Many ot the with-drawing delegates protested
that thev saw no reason for their course, but
were governed by tbe action ot a majority of
their delegation. Hut two of the eighteen
delegates trom Missouri withdrew. The
following remarks of Southern delegates, will
serve to show the division ot sentiment at the
South m regard to secession j
Mr. Motlitt, of Virginia, stated the reason
why he did not withdraw from the Convention.
He was appointed by a District Convention, to
which he owes allegiance. They elected him
to come here and not go elsewhere. He was
elected to the National Democratic Convention
and no other. He was elected to represent his
constituents in the Convention but not to with
draw trout it ; to carry out the wishes of a peo
ple who are national and not sectional; to
piomotetfie interests of the Union, not lo risk its
disseverance [Applause.]
Mr. Glass, ot Virginia, said he had not agreed
with bis colleagues in their secession, but desi
red, nevertheless, to decline further action with
the Convention, without joining any seceding
body •
Mr. Walker, of Tennessee, said he was a
member of the Baltimore Convention which
met twenty years ago. Since that time tie had
voted tor every Democratic candidate tor pres
ident and every Democratic nominee nv his
baiiiwick. He should be the last to ieave the
ship, and having voted thus, for twentv vears,
lie announced to the C\ nvention that if he lived
till the next Presidential election he should
vote tor the nominee of this Convention. [Laud
applause, j He was proud to find by his side
many delegates from Tennessee actuated bv the
same feelings. Many gallant hearts are here
from the laud of Jackson, who will maintain
their ground. He referred to the action of '.he
State Convention of Tennessee, which, after
laboring tor hours to adopt a nlatform to har
monize alt parts of the country, bad pa.-sed a
resolution narniug Gov. Johnson as their first
choice for Psesident, and pledging the State to
give a hearty support to the nominee ot the par
ty, whether he comes from the North or South,
provided lie can cordially endirse the Cincin
nati platform. He had no fears that this Con
vention will nominate a candidate who cannot
endorse the Cincinnati platform. He procee
ded to extol the Northern Democracy lor fidel
ity to the Union and to the whole country,
and declared that lie would not endeavor to
crowd on them a weight to crush them. The
Tennessee delegation had not yet formally
withdrawn, and he hoped that belter counsels
would prevail.
Mr. Jones, o' Tennessee, followed, charging
that while the South had originally pretended
to bolt on tiie platform, they had no sooner got
out than they offered to unite on the nomina
tion, provided one man would not be m.tnina
ted. So it was no tight for principle but a pro
sci iptive tight against one individual. He boas
led, in tfie course of bis remarks, that be had j
been a Democrat from the time he drew milk i
Iron: his mother's breast. [ Laughter.j H"
shoul 1 never desert the Democratic partv.
Mr. Moffit, ot Virginia, again took the ff >or
and spoke earnestly against the secession. The
delegates from Virginia were pledged to the
support of the nominee of the Democratic par
ly, ami a very large majority ot their constitu
ents would stand by the National Democratic
party whoever might desert it. The people of
the South would never follow the Black Re
publican precedent and sectionalize the Democ
racy. He continued to argue forcibly in favor
of remaining bv the National Demociatic or
ganization until he was suddenly taken sick,
wh-ni he was compelled to yield the lloor.
Mr. Craig, ot Missouri, was anxious that
the proposition of his colleague should be car
ried, but, wi order that, even for one night, tire
position of one delegate at toast .-.h oil Id not be
misunderstood, lie desire J to say that, while he
was ready to follow his colleague almost any
where, he was not ready to follow any one out
ot the Democratic Convention or the Democrat
ic party. {Loud applause.]
iWr. Clark, of Missouri —This remark may
place rrie in a laLe position. I have said mv
own is fixed, f shall never leave this body.
jJ/jiid applause.]
Mr. Steele, of North Carolina, made a strong
speech against secession.
Mr. Claiborne, of Missouri, made an eloquent
speech in favor of Douglas, and advocated his
claims as a National Democrat and gallant lea
der. With him at the head ol the ticket he
had no fear of the result.
Tin? Seceders' Convention
The Convention of the bolters from the Balti
more Convention, and their disunion Yancey
allies, met in the Maryland Institute, at Balti
more, on Saturday last, and nominated John C.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for President, and
Joseph Lane, of Oregon, for \ ice President.—
There were, in all, 105 votes cast, Alabama and
Louisiana being represented in full, though
these States had likewise a full representation
in the regular Convention. The regular Con
vention which nominated Douglas and -Fitzpat
rick, was composed of 422 delegates, casting
211 voles, or just double the number of the Bol
ter's Convention. The enemies ol the Democ
racy are highly elated at this division in the
Democratic ranks. We advise them, however,
'•not to count their chickens ere they're hatch
ed," for there's "many a slip twixt tiie cup
and the lip." We do not believe that Mr.
Breckinridge will permit the use of his honored
name to disintegrate and destroy the Democrat
ic party. It he will, we must contess that we
were entirely mistaken in our estimate of ins
pairiotism and fidelity to Democratic usages.
I>l*l \io\
The apostle of the Southern disunionists, Mr.
Yancey, was calleil out by the Seceders' Con
vention, immediately alter the nomination ol
Breckinridge and Lane. The following report
of his remarks, we would respectluliy commend
to the consideration of our readers, asking them
to mark well their tenor and spirit :
Deafening calls were made for Mr. Yancey,
who took to the plattorrn and made a brilliant
speech, congratulating the Convention on its
representation ot the States Rights Democracy
that was prepared to maintain the rights of the
Constitution. He begged them to accept of
these congratulations at the hands of man a who
had some reputation as a factiomst and a disu
nion ist : of a man who was ten years, i igo an ad
vocate of disunion, becuuse tie. smvt/it constitu
tional rights of the South invaded by the atl
mission of California with squatter sovereign
ty, and by the inter ference with the slave trade
in the District of Columbia, lie had gone be
fore the Slate of Jllubamn, and asked them to
secede. He had been voted down by the State
anil had not since advocated disunion. Those
who said fie had, uttered a falsehood !
He was neither for the. Union, nor against it.
He was prepared for a secession from the U
nion whenever lie saw the Constitutional rights
of the South invaded.

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
Douglas and Fitzpatrick Nominated,
BALTIMORE, June 23. —The theatre was a
j gain well crowded this moniuig and the floor
well filled, the delegations from Louisiana and
Alabama having taken seats.
After prayer by tile Rev. Mr. Cummings,
Mr. Garret, ot Alabama, desired to have the
names of the delegation from Alabama correc
ted according to a list sent up.
Mr. Caldwell, oLKentucky, stated that after
withdrawing last evening, the Kentucky dele
gation lieid a meeting an J re-assembled this
i morning. The circumstances in which they
: were placed were exceedingly embarrassing,
and they were unable to come to a harmonious
conclusion. The result is that nine delegates
remain in the Convention, ten withdrew, while
five others desire tor the present to suspend
their action with the Convention without leav
ing it and without taking part in any other bo
dy. In suspending action with the Convention,
they hope that there may vet arise an oppoitu
nity to act harmoniously with the Convention,
and they therefore retain their seats and the
right to act with the Convention.
It is the wish of those who suspend action,
and those who withdraw, to request that their
votes may not be cast by any other parties.
The action on their part has been taken with
out anger, and in deep sorrow. It is not for
them to question ttie action of any independent
sovereignty but it was telt to be their duty and
their policy to return to their constituents and
leave them tree to act,stsould there be two can
didates in the field. He withdrew the naine
of Mr. Guthrie from before the Convention as a
candidate. He also presented a communication
f r om James G. Leech, one of the retiring dele
gates, stigmatising the action of the Convention
in harsh terms as unfair, and attacking the ma
jority in violent language.
The latter paper was read first, when Mr.
Paine, of Ohio, moved to return the paper im
media ely to the gentleman who presented it,
and decline to receive it. (Cries ol ''Yes, yes,
that's tight."
Mr. Paine did not recognizp the right ot the
delegates seceding from the Convention to in
sult the majority, or impugn the action of the
Convention, because a majority pass on the cre
dentials ot those claiming seats in the Conven
tion.
Mr. Caldwell, of Kentucky, assured the Con
vention that he had no knowledge of the con
tents of the paper just read. It had been han
ded to him while oti the floor. The paper
would be found perfectly respectful in language
and temper.
Mr. Paine o! Ohio, moved that the paper he
handed back to its author.
Mr. Say lea, ol Rhode Island, hoped the mo
tion would prevail. The paper was a direct
instill to the Convention, as impugning the ac
tion ol the Convention, and also a direct insult
to the delegates who had taken seats in the t.'on
vrntion. He trusted the paper wonlc 1>" i"
stantly separated Irorn the others, and returned
to the writer.
He acquitted Mr. Caldwell of all knowledge
ot the contents of the paper, and ldt cer'ain lie
would not have presented it it he had known
its true character.
Mr. Knitn, of Missouri, hoped the paper
would be received. He desired to deteud and
ratify the action of this Convention on the stump,
and this paper was tlie best argument against
the action oi theseceders.
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, suggested that
the reading of the other papers be completed
first.
Mr. Leech, of Kentucky, disclaimed any in
tention to offer an insult to the Convention, or
any of its members. He believed the tacts sta
ted in his paper were incontrovertible. Be
lieving them true, he had stated them plainly,
but without intent to insult the Convention.
The reception of the paper was unanimously
declined, and it was returned to the writer.
Mr. West, of Connecticut, called for the
question on proceeding to a ballot (or can
didates. This is the sixth day of the session
anil the country is weary of the proceedings.
Air. Reed, of Kentucky, on the part of a por
tion of the delegation from Lentucky, declared
that he had seen no cause why Kentucky should
desert the Democratic Convent-on and the Dein
ociatic party. The doomed city was to be sa
ved if five true limn could be found therein.
Here were nine delegates from Kentucky who
intended to redeem and save that State. They
recognize this Convention as the only Conven
tion ot the National Democratic party. They
will have no sectionalism at the South or North.
They will stand here as a pillar of fire between
the men ot both extremes. They art- not going
to abandon the Convention because one great
leader, whose pathway from Washington to
the great West tiad been illuminated by gallant
deeds, was evidently to be nominated.
The State of Kentucky would come to the
support of the nominee ot this Convention,
whoever lie may he, and the delegates present
would stand bv the action ot tile Convention
"though the heavens fall." His colleague had
withdrawn the name of Guthrie from before the
Convention. He begged on his part to present
that name again.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, desired to announce
the action of the Missouri delegation alter con
sultation.
Mr. King of Missouri, hoped his colleague
would say a part of the delegation, because
some are here who don't wish the idea to go
lorth that a consultation was necessary.
Mr. Clark said such was the fact. A por
tion of the deh gation had met for consultation.
Two had agreed to withdraw out of the eigh
teen. The remainder will stay here where
their constituents sent them—with the Nation
al Democratic party ot the Union.
Mr. Hill, of North Carolina, announced that
while he found nothing in the action of the
Convention to cause any man to withdraw, he
yet felt that he should paobably be doing injus
tice to his constituents if he remained in action
with the Convention when the majority had
withdrawn.
Mr. Moore, ol Delaware, attempted to take
the floor, but objections were made and there
were loud calls for the question.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, said that only thir
teen delegates from Tennessee had withdrawn,
it was represented that nineteen delegates had
withdrawn; but six of these were simply ap
pointed by others and had no delegated author
ity. [Cries of quest'on—question ']
Mr. Cooper, of Tennessee, rose to a question
of privilege, and a scene ot excitement ensued.
He desired to reply to .Mr. Jones, hut the latter
disclaimed any allusion to Mr. Cooper, and the
Convention drowned his voice by cries of
"Question, question."
Mr. Jones, of Pennsylvania, raised a point of
order. This was no place to settle private quar
rels.
The President decided that all the remarks
were out ol order. He desired to present to
the Convention two papers, one from Mr. Stur
man, ot Arkansas, the other lrom the delegates
from Georgia.
Mr. Paine, of Ohio, moved to suspend their
reading, and lay them on the table. After
some skirmishing tfiis course was agreed to.
Loud calls for the question were then made,
when
The President, Caleb Cashing, rose and beg
ged the indulgence of the Convention. He
said that when he had accepted of
Chairman of this Convention, he was aware of
trouble looming up in the distance. He had
lemained with the Convention in his seat, in
the hope that harmony of counsel would at last
prevail. . That hope was fallacious, and he
deemed it his dut* in the present emergency,
while tendering his gratelul acknowledgements
to all gentlemen lor the courtesy extended to
him, and particularly to those who had differed
with him in policy, and while expressing his
personal regard ami cordial respect for all the
members of the Convention, he deemed it his
duty now to resign to Mr. Todd, ot Ohio, his
seat in the chair. [A loud and sudden burst ot
applause broke forth at this period of h ; s speech,
the President rapping to order.]
Mr. Gushing added, amidst tiie confusion,
that he would now take his seat on the floor of
the Convention, to abide by the action of his
lei low delegates.
The applause continued for sevetal moments,
ami as Mr. Gushing left the chair, the whole
Convention in a body ro3e, the members wa
ving their hats and handkerchiefs, and clapping
their hands ami crying 44 G00d ! Good I Now we
shall have a lair man in the chair."
Mr. Todd, of Ohio, Vice President, then took
the chair, and was received with loud applause.
He briefly addressed the Convention, declaring
that for over thirty years he had fought under
the Democratic banner in Joshua R. Gidding*'
district, and he should not flinch from the toe
now. He asked the indulgence of the Conven
tion while endeavoring to discharge the du
ties which devolved upon him.
Air. Butler, of Massachselts, lose, but the
Convention refused to hear him, and a scene of
confusion ensued, until the Chair appealed to
the honor of the Convention, when order was
restored.
Several attempts were made to interrupt the
proceedings, but the Chair quietly but stradriy
insisted on the andpresei vation of order, an imme
diate vote on the question ordered last evening.
The resolution to proceed with a ballot was
•hen adopted, and the lull was called.
When Massachusetts was called, Air. Butlei
claimed the floor to explain rh- po-ition ol the j
delegation. He presented a protest against the
exclusion ol one of the delegation, and with
drew from fui tf.er action with the Convention.
Wtipn Louisiana was called? Mr. SouK
spoke for the delegation. He was severe cm
those whom he designated as ''political t >csti
entrusted in office," and charged that war had
been waged .n Douglas by -si a;inv <>f un
principled and unscruptil one politicians, i hose
who raised the storm are bound to sink and
disappear in il. Secession is a word aised to
conceal another word, Jttd one ot more stgmli
cance. It must beget disunion. Lite reasons
given by the secessionists for leavm the Con
vention were only a pretext. They were
mere t(>ols m the hands ol intriguers. 1 tie
South cannot respond to ttipir movement, lie
alluded to the admission ol California in the
Union as a free Stale, and the threats made at
tlie Sontli at the time. They changed their
ground then, and their threats to dissolve the
Union were not realized. The Southern State
had made a sacrifice then in exchange for the
principle ot non-intervention. The South ronld
not he earnest in its devotion to its principles,
it by division among themselves they give up
the government to their enemies, North and
West.
Mr. Soule's speech was long and eloquent,
and was repeatedly cheered, esperially when it
reflected most severely on the secessionists. At
its close lie cast the vote ot Louisiana tor Ste
phen A. Douglas.
Pennsylvania voted as follows For Dou
glas, 10 votes: for Breckinridge, 3 , for Sey
mour, I for (iutln ie, 3. The rest declined
vol ilio.
Great excitement followed the vote of Penn
sylvania, with demands to know who the dele
gates were that refused to vote.
Mr. Russell, ot .Yew York, here withdrew
the name ot Horatio Seym-ur, and a read letter
from him.
2P. M —The fit*t ballot resulted as fol

In announcing the vote of Pennsylvania, Mr.
Dawson stated that nine delegates had refused
to vote. One delegate cast Ins vote for Horatio
Seymour, of New York.
Dr. Russell (N. Y.) immediately rose and
read a letter from Mr. Seymour peremptorily
withdrawing his name.
The following States were not represented :
Delaware, South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi,
Texas, California and Oregon—7. Georgia was
represented in part hut did not vote.
Mr. Church (N. Y) offered the following :
Resolved, That Stephen A. Douglas having
received two-thirds of all the votes cast in this
National Democratic Convention, is, according
Ito the ruhs of this Convention and the usages
| of the Democratic party, declared to be nomina
ted for the ofiice of President of the United
States.
Mr. Church said that the New York delega
tion in this contest had been willing to yield all
except their personal honor, and the honor of
ffieir constituents, to conciliate and harmonize
the Democratic party. But when they were
approached and told that they must yield a
candidate who was the choice of the Democracy
ol the State, and in addition admit uncondi
tionally to the Convention men who had sece
ded without any jut cause, they had spurned
the overtures. They won 11 go home and sweep
the State ot New York as a whirlwind. (Laud
applause.)
They had at Charleston voted to construe the
two-third rule to mean two-thirds of the vote
of the Electoral College at the request of the
South, who remained with them on the pledge
that it "they so voted, the South would remain
with the Convention. A oortion ol the South
had broken the pledge, and now this wrong
construction ot the rule was no longer a peace
offering. New York was prepared to take all
i the responsibility for the resolution he now of
j fered.
At the solicitation of Coi. Flournoy, (Ark.)
who wished anothei ballot, so they could make
the vote for Douglas slionger,
Mr. Church withdrew his resolution.
Eloquent speeches were made by a number ol
delegates in favor of Douglas.
Mr. David L. Seymour, on tlie part of the
Dickinson men ot the New York delegates, vo
ted tor Douglas.
Mr. Mason, (Ky-) a Guthrie man, gave in his
allegiance to Douglas,
The second ballot was then announced.

DOUGLAS NOMINATED BY ACCLAMA
TION.
The resolution declaring Senator Douglas as
the nominee, was then seconded, and adopted
unanimously.
A scene of excitement ensued that ciearlv e
viriced the vehemencof the feelings of Douglas's
friends, so long pent up.
Pile cheers were deafening. Every person
in the theatre rose simultaneously, and mani
fested their enthusiasm with perfect abandon.
Hats and handkerchiefs were waived and
thrown into the air, and the whole scene could
not*be exceeded jn excitement.
From the upper tier, banners long kept in re
serve lor this occasion, were unfurled and wa
ved before the audience.
On the slage appeared a banner which was
borne bv the delegation from Pennsylvania,
bearing the motto :

and responded to with a will, until all was a
perf-ct roar inside ol the building and on the
outside.
Afier a considerable time bad elapst-d and
something like order restored, the President
said—
