Tu.say that the Ainermans of Pennsylva

that the editor, who attaches so:morli imfor

which occurred near Fardhigton, Van flu

living there, while talking to a neighbor,
about the dry weather, began an outburst
of the most terrible blasphemy, using the
vilest epithets towards the Almighty and
Saviour, because he di n ot send rain. The
man was going on in 7rightful language,
when all at once his jaws became paralyzed,

Baltimore 'Convention
It is much to bo regretted that so little
disposition has been manifested to harmonize
the conflicting elements of the Derdicratic
party. We had hoped that a wine conserva
tism should prevak and that the time inter
vening between Die adjournment of tbg
Charleston Conviction, and the re•asseno-.
bling of that body in - Baltimore, in sold have
enabled the delegates to have viewed the
subject more dispassionately. But in this
have b een
WO
ing influenced the action of the delegates
which eontrol.ed them at Charleston. Many
of the representatives of the great National
Democratic party chose Ather to gratify an
insane seillshMeatre than to consider the in
terests of a county by any particular devo
lion to either the i perpetuity oPthat party or
the union. IVs have frequently said that
the'campaign of 1860 was one of vast im
portance to the nation and we think so still.
If this view had controlled the delegates to
a greater extent, we should not be under the
painful nebesaity of recording now, that se•
cession and a general disorganization have
again characterized the action of that body.
Juht as we arc going to press. a dispatch
has been received to the effect that a portion
of the Southern States, with Oregon and Cal-
Fornia, have wiihdrawn (rem the Convention;
Tire report needs confirmation Donglas is
said to have been nominated by a two '.liied
vote for President, and Fozpatrie, of Ala
hams, (or Vice PlTsident. It further states
that the Prpsident of the Convention, Mr.
Cushing. made a'apeech and Withdrew, tak
ing hie friends along with loin. The other
wing of the Convention organised immedi
ately upon their withdrawal and placed ) in
nomination Breckenridge, of Keno'. ky, for
President, and Lane, of Oregon, for Vice
President.
The sincerity 'of the :Repolibeans in sup
porting the doctrine of Protection has tiCen
well doubted, and led to a thorough extrni•
nation of their record on ;pat question. The
Peunsylv,anian says that all who have paid
any- regard to the legislation of Congress,
within the past three years, well know that
the very evils which the Republicans are
now pretending to remove, -were the legiti
mate results If their own action in 1857.
The Tariff law of that year which reiluced
all duties on imports, 'and greatly aggrava
ted the recent commercial crisis, was a Re
publican'ineasure, passed by a Republican
majority, under the pratire'ed the $813,00 . 0
contributionvf Lawrence, Stone Jr C0.,0f
Boston. It was thew pet Ind kobby, a i tta
it truly represents their policy on thesub
jectof Protection. If this were "tit so,
wherefore was there no oppositiv toll from
the North American, the Tribune and other
organs of the party I If this were not so,
they could have readily repealed it, in 1858,
or 111 185) ; hut, in spite of 111r.,Buchanan's
reit, rated recommendations of nn augmenta
tion of duties forrevenue and industrial pur
poses, they treated, with contemptuous dis
regard, the earnest and urgent solicitations
of the suffering industrial classes throughput
the land. Action on the Tariff was de In) ed
(lids for Wee yrdY,, and it Ras not until
the approach of the Presidential canvass that
the Republicans, who could not pit along
without Pennsylvania and the central man
ufacturing Sta'es, made any demiinstratton
towards alleviating the sutler:no Which they
brought about. And how did they go about

cOpgore an unusual
f minint of impudence
for even him to fare it through, considering',
the speeches ho made only a few years ago
in advocacy of " American principles."—
As Mr. Corwin said on a.recOnt. occasion,
"it Is not necessary for gentlemen to be
consistent, but it looks better," It would
certainly look hotter" for Mr. Curtin not
to deny his Americanism, hut •he will be
compelled to do so if he intends to stand
on the Chicligo plaffoon, and support Lin
coln.
It would be vtry convenient for politi•
clans of the Curtin stamp, who Are morally

once in four years, if the old records conic:
be periodically obliterated .and n gtncral

would be convenient to forget these things

of naturalized citizens from office, If this
