THE BALTIMORE NATIONAL CONTENTION.
,Tho Doraooratio National Convention will
reassemble at Baltinioro on tbo 18th inst. It
is the sincere and earnest wish of every Dom
ornt and lover of: his country 1 that everything
should gd tiff harmoniously,,ond alVill-fcoljtlg
bo’allayed,' The wclfard of the Union depends
upon this. 5 , The Delegates composing the Con
vention, then, owe it to the people to bo cir
cumspect and prudent. Rash raon—wo caro
not what section of the country they coincfrom
'—should ho Downed down if they daro at>
tempt to throw firebrands into the Convention.
There wore a groat many mischief-makers at
Charleston-bad men, whoso hope and desire
was to creatn discord, and thus bring about a
dissolution of the* States.' Such men arc trai
tors to their country, and « hbol upon tlieDo
raocrntic party. and should not ha permitted
to omit their poison upon the Couiciition.
They have proved themselves unworthy, and
should ho regarded (as they really are) .ene
mies in, disguise.' . i
The first difficulty, wO presume, on the re
assembling of the Convention, will ho created
by , the attempt of the eccoders from the
Charleston Convention to resume their seats.
We have already expressed our opinion in re
gard to these misguided men.. Theyrosigned
their places of thfeir own voluntary free will.
Nay, more, they organized a separate Conven
tion, and put the regular Convention at defi
ance. They have no right, then, to claim the
seats they resigned, and if they have a spark
of the “ Southern spirit” about which we have
heard so much, they will not appear in the
Baltimore Convention.
This is out opinion; but, at the same time.
wo are for union and harmony—for concession
—everything for the cause, and nothing for ,
tnoh. -If, therefore, a majority of the Conven- ,
tiou concludes that harmony and good-feeling •
will more surely ho restored, hy permitting ■
the scccders to resume their scats and to par
ticipate'in the'proceedings of the Convention,
so bo it—let them be admitted ■, provided they
first pledge themselves to, 'abide by the decis
ion of the majority in the settlement of all
queslion&y This should ho insisted upon ns a
binding condition, and the man who will not
agree thus to pledge, bis honor,, is/.no’t to be
trusted’, and should not bo permitted to thrust
oven his nose into the Convention. Disorgan
izors, disnnioh.ists, and all, other mischief-ma
kers must be held at arm’s length, fapUdiatod,
1 and put at defiance.' , As .old (Jen. Jackson
would have said, “by the. eternal, they must
and shall bo put down. I ', . _ ; .
It is difficult to predict who will recoiyothc
nomination for President, but lhat a nomina
tion will be made, wo:think- quite certain.—
For our own part wo are ready to support any
truonational man, without regard to his local
ity ; and it is ‘best, therefore, in our opinion,
to wait quietly the action of tho National Con
vention, and then go to work vigorously for the
riommoeis*, .' ~ , ,

At tho State election last April, when .the
Democrats had a majority in Now Ilavencoim
ty of between 800 and 900, (085 in the city,and

Mayor Wood had sent 1500 Irishmen up from
Now York, to stuff the ballot boxes. What

What will- the Democracy do at Baltimore.
Tho earnest, anxious gaze of a nation, soya
the York Gazette, i a now fixed upon tho re-as
sembling of the .Democracy, at Baltimore.—
Upon tho action of that Convention depends
tho fate of the-: Democratic party for many
years to come. This is felt, and keenly . felt,
by thousands aud'tcnS of thousands through
out tho length and breadth of the Union. ‘To
those who honestly believe that-tho Democra
tic organization ia tho only conservator of tho
united government unßer which wo live, the
deliberations of tho Democracy at, Baltimore
are full of s'orlbua anticipations. Others may
regard ithe impending struggle 'as a more
scramble for place and power—ambitious Jiar4
tisans may ventilate their eloquence to secure
favor at home, and to make capital in the vent
.of a triumph in November—.but the great mass
of the American people, Norlh and South, see
n deeper significance in’ the result of the meet
ing which is tq take plapo.pn. thp, ; lBth of
June, than the ‘simple! decision of the ques
tion, ‘‘who is.to pcoupy tho White IlduSc, for
four years from, the fourth of March, 1801.’

before us, ■ Thonommatibns-niadeby the seer

BST" “ The Richmond Soceder’s Conven
tion,” says the Lynchburg (Va.) Republican,
“ does not make much headway.'' Of the 145
counties in Virginia, only some 'six or seven
have requested their, delegates to attend the
Richmond Convention-, and' they have only re
quested them to-attond for the purpose of con
sultation, and not for the purpose of action,^ —
Not a delegate, therefore, from Virginia, will
be there by the authority of the- people- nor
will a delegate bo there from a 'single State'
that remained in the Charleston Convention.
The nomination of two Democratic, tickets is
obliged.to-result in the disgraceful defeat of
the party, and with the defeat of our party
will, assuredly follow disunion. The people'

Temple and Geo. N. patchen, is said to have
boon one bf the finest 1 oxhibiSio’h'S of the pow
ers of..the'.trotting horse that has '.over, taken

mile heats, in harness, was won/after a moat
desperate struggle, .by. Flora; in- the remarka- -
hly. quick time 0f,2 21,,2 24, 2 211—-iho best
over made on this track.! Thus: has Flora
Temple, (owned by Mr>'Wraf. ’’M’Bbnflld, of
Baltihibropngain earned for herself the proud
title of “Queen of the', Trotting Tstrf.” The
race. was. for. §1,000,; and Was witnessed by
thousandsof Spectators. Sovera'ldays a'go the
betting was decidedly in favor of Flora, but
on the race course, on “Wednesday,, §lOO to 70

race Created the greatest enthusiasm among
the friends of flora.
An 1 ExTiiAOWmsarv Riot. —At a fete tom
on Saturday night, in Cincinnati, a' mob, fed
by an Irishmanwho asserted (bat be? bad lost
his wife,, and that ho' was assured, her body
bad been exhumed and ‘carried into the resi
dence of Dr.'Spews! corner of TVelfth 'and
:Raco streets, for dissection,'surrounded the
dwelling, of the doctor and demanded admiss
ion, in order to ascertain whether the suspic
ions of the bereaved husband wore or Were
. not correct. The terrified physician complied
■with the demand, and the rioters, after rudely
ramsnoking and robbing the house from cellar
to .attic, ascertained'that the' afflicted Hiber
nian was completely insane, and that his wife,
instead of being defunct, was only dead drunk
in the jail, to which sho had been committed.
The rioters probably sneaked off in disagree
able consciousness of tho , ridiculous figures
they had cut.
fSS“ A terrible tragedy was.enactod in the
California Assembly, a few days before-its ad
journment. ■ A member of the Ilnuse.named
John C. 8011, was shot and stabbed to death,
almost in his seat, by. one Dr. Stone. Stone
was a lobby member, attempting to procure
tho passage of a bill for tho division of the
county represented by Bell, and to which tho
latter was opposed. Sir. 801 l was in tho act
of consultation with another member beyond
tho bar of tlio Assembly, while it Was in ses
sion, when Stone came up, denounced Bell as
a liar, and immediately began shooting and
stabbing him. The unfortunate man was car
ried away and died two days after, Stone was
released on bail. As he is a rich man tho
crime will go unpunished. Tho Assembly
took no notice 1 of tho.murder. 801 l was from
Ohio, and was unarmed. Stone is from Ken
tucky. Several circumstances ; show the act
to have been premeditated.
Curtin and Giddino^.— The close identifi
cation of Mr. Andrew G. Curtin, at Chicago,
with Joshua R. Giddings, and other prominent
Abolitionists, and Kis active efforts in the
cause of sectionalism is exciting no little re
mark, and no small amount of indignation
among our conservative citizens, die now
presents himself before the people ns an out
and-out Abolitionist of the moat ultra school,
and as such asks the 'suffrages: of. the conser
vative men of Pennsylvania. We are not
mistaken m supposing that ho will bo indie,
nantly rebuked. ;
Greeley’s Idler.
1 We publish below, from the Now York At
las, the much talked of letter which was ad
dressed.by Mr. Grc'eloy to Senator Seward,
pearly six yearb ago, severing all farther coh
naotion with the latter, in consequence ol ms
hcartlGs'sncss and ingratitude to the
phor of iho Tribune. " As Hie Now York TitrUs
made the charge that Greeley’s hostility to the
nomination.of Seward-arose from persona
pique, and dates back, to the time when the
letter to which wo refer was written, its pro
duction, which Mr. Greeley himself demanded
for the purpose of vindicating his course mtbe
eyes of his party, cannot be otherwise than
interesting. It is sharp, acrid and Greeloy
ish all over, but Seward deserved it all, and
What he has since got to boot, for his cold on
shabby treatment of a devoted partisan.- Ke-
VengS is Sometimes swCot, and we hove no
dohbt Greeley fcpjoys his triumph amazing j,
Had Beward not turned the cold shouldcr to an
old friend, and thus converted him into a hit
tcr oneniy, he woiild itoW bo the nominee ol
the Republican party fdr the presidency :

,2b the Hoiu’William IL Seward'.-.
.. g,„ ._=! desire to say to you that the firm
of Seward, Weed &-.Greeley is froiu this day
dissolved, by thoi withdrawal
nietnber of the firm. When I editddthe. hj
fcrstln idn at Albany, you and your fnendsao
kilowledgod: the effort of my labors m your
causepin elevating you to the office of Qovei
nor and United States Senator,- lor my labors
in sustaining you I only rCcd.ved tcpMlarsa
week to support my wife, self and child.
When you were Governor of this state, v> itn
great patronage in yoiir hands, no offer of any
position to assist me whs ever made. When
General Harrison was elected President you
had full control of the Federal patronage, in
this State, and I received no consideration at
your hands. When General Taylor was elec
ted President you also had the principal dis
tribution of tliC Federal patronage, nndin con
nection with Mri AVeed, you made Hugh Max
well Collector of this port, a man who was nev
er entitled to the confidence of the Whig party.
Instead of rewarding men who had faithfully
adhered to Henry Glay and to you, such men
na Zobedeo Ring, an outcast from Nova Scotia,
was appointed surveyor of the port j David A,
Bokee was made naval officer; William V. Bra
dy,- postmaster; Win. H. Leroy, navy agent;
Hiram Fuller, naval storekeeper; John Young,
sub treasurer '; and a man was selected for Hin
ted States-marshal-whom you know I cannot
name. And yet, while yon know-I had lost
every dollar 1 possessed, in starting the Gal
way lino of steam 'packets to benefit Ireland
and yourself, no ofler was made roe of assist
ance‘or place. Subsequently, it was- under
stood by my friends that 1 should be the can
didate of ouf party for Ooveriwr, and-your
consent was given ;' blit. Instead of .supporting
me, you and yoiir friends nominated that trnn
i mer and little villian, Raymond, for Lioutoti
ant-GoVeknor, Who was of ne advantage to our
■ party, and a man whom to know is to detest.
In all tho positions' I have labored, to place
you,- the, emoluments -.mul the honors have
been divided between yourself apd Weed. I
have now, to say, that-Any support you may
hereafter receive from me, will bo-because it
is necessary 1 for the-party, but not from per
sonal consideration.- Yours, do.-, --

Mutton as AM Ar.netE o'f Pood.— The
American Agriculturist says:—“We mean to
repeat a thousand times, or at least till what
we say 1 have som’b. effect upon our country
men, that a pound of lean, tender/juicy mut
ton can ho produced for'half the cost of : the
‘sahib quantity of'pork; that'it is infinitely
healthier food, especially in the summer sea
son; and those who eat it become more mus
cular, and can do more work with greater ease
to thethsOlycs thtfn those who eat pork. , We
: know nothing, more. delicious than smoked
.mutton, hams,, of the .Southdown breed of
sheep. . Venison itself is not superior."
TlfE New Congressional. A-proitT'ioN.’ifENT.
—The apportionment of members of Congress
of the several States under the'ceusns now be
ing. taken,.will bo reported to the next session
of Congress, and will thus' afford ample time
to the State' Legislatures' which only meet bi
ennially, as well as the'othors, fo district their
several States.- The .thirty-seventh .Congress
being the fifth under the present apportion
ment,the,next apportionment will not, by the
law of 1850, go into effect until the thirty
eight Congress, the term of which commences
March 4th, 1803.
Revenge and Gratitude,.— Revenge is lon
ger lived than gratitude. Endorse jMr. Smith’s
note to keep him from failing, and ho will for
get all about it in a month. Pull Mr. Smith's
nose, and lie will cherish a secret desire, to
burn your house down for the remainder of
his life. Revenge is a passion. , Gratitude
appears to bo only a sentiment. We can all
hate; but it,is not one man in n.hundred that
possesses principle enough to be thankful.
The Growing Crops.— Tho papers in all
parts of the country report that'the crops pro
mise well, and that the late rains, which have
extended over tho. districts, suffering from
drought, have been of incalculable advantage'.
The long drought in the Northwest has been
broken by copious rains, and there is a pros
pect throughout the; whole region of good
crops. ■
1 The Ebi.ijn of Order.- —The new police or
ganization in Baltimore appears to be doing
a great deal of good in tho restoration of order
and the repression of rowdyism in that city.
The relief to the citizens is very great, for
now they go about without fear of their lives.
The reign,of the ‘‘Plug Uglios” is over, and
hereafter, it ia .likely that the citizens may
even’go to an election, without having their
heads, broken by a “ Blood Tub.” For such
security, tho police force is worth all its cost.
The Union Ticket in Missobm.— The St.
Louis Nem, after ;v period of hesitancy, Ims
come out for'Boll and Everett, and declares
its purpose to, support them in Missouri.—
