The Delegates will have an opportunity of seeing those-they,have attempted to represent,- or, iw lawny think) mft-riiprcsent, And, if they (the, Cclogntes) are true Democrats and honest men, they will profit by giving car to the voice of their indig nant constituents* , 14.

Men wlio arc determined to ; rale' or ruin, had 1 better yield their places to those more competent- It cannot he expected, in a National Convention, that all'can ha gratified, and the man who goes into a Convention with a determination not to yield to the wishes of the majority, is Tittle less than a factiduist, and nine times out of ton misrepresents the wishes of his people. We hope a bettor feel ing and a hotter spirit may prevail at Balti more. Let the Convention name a.good nian our candidate for President—we care not whether ho lives in the North or the South— and lie will bo elected. . The following remarks of the Reading Ga zelle are sensible and kuitliful, meets our own views “The Bbusoeratic National Convention, af ter a session of ten days at Charleston, during the last two of .whiohj fifty-seven unsuccessful ballots feir a, candidate for President, were ta ken, adjourned on Thursday to meet at Balti more on.the IBth of June. This temporary suspension of its labors, although entirely un expected, and therefore a great surprise to many, was probably the most judicious course that could have been adopted, under the cir cumstances in which the Convention found it self placed- It was evident, from the course taken in debate on tlio adoption of a platform; that a wide difference of opinion existed among. 1 the Bblegatcs IVorth aud South, which could only be reconciled by mutuitf concession’' and compromise- All hope of any such arrango [ meet, was of course at an end when tbescccs sion of the delegates representing ten Sbnth cru States took place: A nomination,- made after this, even if it could have'been effected by a vote of' two-thirds ef al fall Convention, would have lacked the- prestige of united and, if not hanwon ions; at least aeqwiesccivt action ; a matter bf no smoiM importance to thcD'emo cratic party, claiming as it does, to be,the on ly national political organization now existing. But, from the determined feeling of hostility on the part of the South to the nomination of Judge Douglas, and'the equally determined resolve of his friends to adhere to him to the last, which the almostunvarying result of the protracted ballptings disclosed, it became a 'matter of extrenic doubt whether the Conven tion, in the temper that then governed it, could have made a nomination' at all, had' it coiitiu- •' ued to ballot 'ad fnfim/mn.. It was therefore ' ( much better to adjourn for a time, than to i continusc-a. contest "which cos-id IVavwno' other ; effect-than to keep- up a factious spirit, and , excite still more- the exasperated feelings of 1 the opposing sections. The adjournment will I afford time for refection, and give the dele-1 1 gates an opportunity to mingle with the people, 1 I from whom all their power is derived, and I learn the views of. their constituentsso that,' napon tbc rcassombUng erf the Convention,- wo may hopo to find them disposed not only for more harmonious, but for more patriotic ac tion. Without harmony; a nomination would he a farce. The States whoso delegates sccc dedayilLalso ho . able, in the interval, to .ex press their opinion of the course-,of their rep resentatives, either- by approving, ft, and son-: ding them to Baltimore 1 with’their original in structions renewed 1 ; or By disapproving it* and choosing new delegates to take the places they have vacated. But, more- than thisin Juno; the Opposition will have taken form and sub stance, and we- shall have clearly before us the men and the issues agajiist whom the De mocratic party must contend- The Baltimore Convention of the Oth ifist„ and the Chicago Convention of the 16th inst., will then have made their respective nominations, and the way to entire reconciliation will be made plain to all who desire the preservation of the Nn tional Democratic organization, in its integri ty-,.. Tho action of the Charleston Convention has demonstrated one thing very plainly; and that is, either the South must consent to the ■domi nation of Mr, Douglas, or Mr. Douglas must be withdrawn from tho field. .'Whether, af ter he lias shown that he con command the .votes of a clone majority of the Convention, the South will persist in refusing to allow him to be. nominated r or whether, after it.shall have been proved’, beyond proadventuro.. that he cannot obtain a two-thirds vote, ho will use tho power he-, possesses to prevent any nomi nation, and thus to break up. the Democratic party, remains to bo seen. Speculations upon the probabilities of either event, would, be idle work. As for ourselves, notwithstanding all that lias occurred, we have an unshaken con fidence in the national and conservative spirit of the Convention, and a. firm belief that its final action will bo overruled, by high and pa triotic motives, for tho good of the country and tho preservation intact of our glorious American Nationality. The proceedings at Charleston, says the Democratic Union, make it evident that the Democratic party, and with it, tho country, has reached the crisis of its fate, from which nothing but tho greatest ‘prudence, wisdom and patriotism can oxtricato ns. We do not say that tho entanglement is past unravelling, but that it will require the highest qualities and tho utmost prudence and forbearance to accomplish the work' When secession from the Democratic Convention; the. forerunner of secession from tlio Union, reared its stand- ard at Charleston, it was time for the repre sentatives of tho National Democracy to pause and allow tho country time for deliberation, before- taking an irrevocable stop into the fu ture. It is probable that this, course may tend to hoal tho breach and bring order out of confu-, sion. Tho Convention will have time to as certain tho effect of the proceedings at Charles ton upon tho country, the extent of tho defec tion, and tho cause and cure of the difficulties thntbcsot the party. At Baltimore there should bo no discussion about tho Platform, which was the immediate source of all tho troubles at Charleston, That subject should bo regarded as settled. Wo do not see any reasonable grounds of objection to the Platform adopted by the majority of the Convention at Charles to: It embraces every principle upon which ;hc National Democratic party can agree, ami any attempt to give it a stronger Southern cast would bo fatal to the Nationality as well as to the success of the Democratic party. It wisely abstains from deciding between the conflicting theories agitating, and, to some ox-1 tent, dividing .the party upon Territorial .pies- Perils of the Demosiitlie Party. lions. It doos.not determine whether a Ter ritorial Legislature has, or has not, power to exclude slavery, but submits that question • where it prqjiorly belongs, and'where alone it am bo finally and authoratativcly dotormincd —to 6M Judiciary. It stands by the- princi ple' of non-intervdrrlion, for which wo-contend ed!, in 1856, and which- has been recognized ns the doctrine- oftlih'pltrty since, that SMte'; and consequently does not rush into the' pblpnblo inconsistency of recommending Congressional intervention for the protection of slavery in the Territories. It pledges the Democratic .party 'to abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United Slates over this question of sla very in tiro Territories, and denounces the en actments of State Legislatures to , defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law as subversive of tire Constitution, and revolu tionary in effect. IFo do nof sec'the' slightest cause for dWaitisfantion witlii tins Platform—. In fact, it is impossible-to imagine-any other I declaration of principles that could be acoop | fable to- the-whole parrty and maintain its com pact Nationality. A declaration in favor,of [either of tiro, conflicting views upon the Terri torial question would, inevitably, divide the party 1 To say, with Mr. Douglas, that a Ter ritorial Legislature Iras power to exclude sla very, while Congress has not, would drive off tiro whole Southern wing and a large portion of the party in the North. To say, on tiro oth er hand, with the extreme Southern-men, that it is the duty of Congress- tc protect sla/vcryih the Territories and to intervene- ini its behalf, I would, hopelessly, destroy, the party in the | North- • The Convention, very wisely,. refused to endorse either of these positions, but decla ring the broad and general principles of tiro party, committed these dis.traeting q'upstions to tiro Judiciary—and in so doing, they acted in precise conformity with the Reading Conven tion and common sense, Every thing now depends upon the action ol the Southern States from which delegates se ceded at Charleston. They are now Culled upon to elect others in the .place of those who abandoned the regular Convention. This will tost whether the seceding delegates represen ted their constituents truly or not. In every one of these'States- a conflict will commence between’ the moderates, who- are- willing to stand upon the- Convention's Platform-, amt the ultras, who desire- to Break'up the Demo cratic party and- the- Union for an abstraction. This contest will be- a solemn and serious one, for it will gam-go the depth and extent of the Union feeling in the Southern States, as well as the power of the fire-eaters. In, former contests, whore the ultras of the South have fought under their own banner, they have been beaten, and they may be beaten again. If their places arc supplied at Baltimore by men who prize the Union above all things— men who arc willing to fight under a national flag for the preservation of the Union against the attacks of sectionaHsrai, we-,may Be assur ed that Southern h-Braism has run Its course, 'and look for such action at Baltimore'as will place the Democratic party in an-unassailable position and assure its success in November-. A victory of the- conservatives of the South lover the sectionaViats would confirm the Na- tionality of tho Democratic party, and be fol lowed by a victory over, the Bcbtionalists of the North- ■ Sueh.a triumph would be doubly; glorious. Blit if the Southern States confirm tho action of the seceding delegates, and thp scones of Charleston are rc-enaoted at Balti more, it will be ominous of. disaster to the party and the Union. When the last rcmalu- ing bond iaflmokcn and the country is divided into'sectional parties, each overflpwing with animosity, what can rescue- tibia- Union from destruction? HiilmlelpMa ETeetioir. The Democrats made a gallant .fight at tlm municipal election in Philadelphia on Tuesday last; They are- bcatoh, it ia true;’-bat they have made- swell deep inroads upon the Oppo sition- ranks, that tho moral power of the vic tory which; the- latter have- gained, is complete ly destroyed, and their small majorities only prove their weakness.' They have not st-rengh onough left to stand another contest, Mayor Henry, who was elected two- years sign,’by 4,701 majority, comes in now with 882,.show ing a gain on the Democratic side of nearly four thousand votes. - Tho vote for Controller is still closer, Downing, the Democratic can didate, being defeated by only 101. The following is the recapitulation of the vote on the city ticket: The figures arc official: 'For Mayor \ Alexander Ilem-y, Hop., i John Robbins; Dem,. Majority for Henry, Total vote, 72,434. ■For Solicit ok. Charles E. Lex, Rep., Henry M. Dechert; fifein.. Majority for Lox, Total vote, 72,504. For Controller. George W. Ilufty,. Rep., J. R.

In both branches, the Opp. had largo majorities, but novr the select Council is a tie, standing 12 Democrats to 12 Opposition; and the Opposition majority in the Common Council is reduced to 12, there being 41 Democrats and 53 Opposition elected. The result of this election proves Clearly that the National Democracy will sweep the city of Philadelphia in October and November next by decided majorities.: 365“ During a recent heavy thunderstorm in Madison county, Ky„ n, negro belonging to Mrs, Elizabeth Ballard, was killed by light ning. 365“ George Wilkins,Kendall writes from Xexas to the New Orleans Picayune, that he is the owner of 1,200 lambs, and expects in three weeks to own 1,800.
