CAMPAIGN DEMOCRAT. •, As the extensive circulation of papers is one of the most effective means of call ing-out s rtru. vox; we proposal° offer -bur paper to such as may wish to sub. scribe during the campaign, at very low rates. The Democratic nomineefor Pres. ident will be announced in June, and the campaign will fairly open about the first of July; and we suggest' that clubs be made up to commence with that date and . continue six months—until the first of January, 1861.. We make thefollowing low offer: For four copies Six months • - For seven copies six months - - 4,00 For ten copies six months -50 V _ The club papers to be sent to one per " eon in a bundle, and to be_ paid for when _ordered. This offer itrr extremely low, that we trust our friends will exert them seivesto get up a. club in every neighbor . hood. Postmasters can do a great deal of good in this way, and we urge them, and others, to take" early action in this import, ant matter.'; THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION The papers of Monday bring the nnviel; come news of the disruption of the Con vention, and the nomination of two tick. eis. We had hoped that some sort of compromise, would be effected, especially as the point of controversy between the rival wings was so trifling, and that 1 nni. - ted and-strong ticket • would be presented to the people. - Our hopes ,and wishes ate • disappointed: Ater five' days of disgrace ful wrangling, most' of the delegates from the slave state4end the delegates from Massachusetts,loregon and California, se ceded, and nominated J. C. Breckenridge for - President, with Gen. Joseph Lane, of • Oregon,for Vice "President. The other • wing nominated S. A. Douglas for Presi - ,dent, and Benj. Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, for Vice President , All these gentlemen are'eminently Worthy the places to which they are named; either of them, if regu larly nominated upon the platforin of 1856, would have received the hearty support of 1 the Democratic party as a unit; but bad . blood, the natural result Bf abolitionism and sectional agitation, has engendered strife and divided the party,' the result of which, '• if persisted in, gill be disastrous to our common country. liessr. Breckenridge and Douglas both stand upon the broad and solid platform on which President Bu chanan was elected—the two differing on ly upon a point so trifling and rifficnlous, J (that of Congressional intervention in the inchoate states,) when compared kith the , great interests of our growing country, than it justly seems matter of surprise that they should be rival candidates. We still • hope that more -prudent counsels will pre vail, and that one'br the other of these ri val tickets will be withdrawn. . One thin.; is certain. The nomination of Donglas'squelcbes the inis.erable nigger 1 Convention at Chicago completely. i.in-- _ eoha cannot now carry a single state, if we except Vermont, tfie breeding place of ab olitionism.

Landon has recently been enter taining the: people of Towanda with one of his lively stump performances, in which he placed himself fairly and squarely upon the ulirir platform of the abolitionists. He pro claimed the bold position he assumed in the mot, unmiitakable manner. He minced •no w6rds in asserting . abolifiOnism to'be the objecttor which- all the, power and. in finence of the republican party' should, be exertek At a meeting •held at-the Same place last week, Judge Wilmot plieed himself Unequivocally upon the Abolition platform. He made no argument against , the'extiinsioncf , lavery ; 'but a direct and fanati6l appeal to his fellow citizens a gainst the institution itself, as without a foUndation in nature, and as a consequence contrary to all law. , It also appears that Wilmot has under; taken to crush out the Bradford Herald: That paper has a habit of telling the truth, consequently it must be annihilated. From the defiant tone and spirt manifested by . the Herald, however, we imagine ,that it Milt not go down at Wilmot's bidding.— Certainly Our Democratic friends in Brad ford county will see wit that the Herald his fair play. • Orlin - James Welsh, a Merchant. of Pittston, Luz. co.

The Chair° stated that the questioti would be first taken on the-report of.

In so doing he stated it had Veen rumored 0ut.1 . - side that. his report had.been made in con sequence of the-fascination of Mr. Yancey.. 'While he admitted that Mr: Yancey was the most fascinating man he ever met, yet those who believed such influences dicta ted his report knew little of him as a man, or his principles as a Deniocrat. Mr. Gittings then. asked. consent to withdraw his whole report, which was granted, thus bringing the minority re port 'Proper first in order. ' - Mr. Krum then read a statenient giv ing hitt reasons for the couclusions of the majority of the Committee on Credentials. He argued that the secessions of the dele ,gates did create. vacancies, and the reso lution adopted at the. Charleston 'Conven tion recognized such vacancies, and' called on the States to fill them. The minority, of the Committee, while denying that va •eancies- exist, proceed to, render their ar-J guments absurd- by filling these very va cancies.

(Cries of "'we'll do it again," and cheers.) It *iis. °lli this common ground 'of non intervention that Whigs and DemOcrats agreed to stand on their respective party. platforms of 1852, The' Whig party adher ed faithfullyi to this principal so long as its• organization was maintained, . and the Democratic' party -still retains it as the keyitone of the political arch - that binds the Union I together. .To this:: cardinal principal of non=intervention has the Dem ocratic party renewed • the..pledge of its faith at Charleston and 'at Baltimore.— '(Cheers and cries ,of " we'll keep the faith!! : L As the chosen representative 'of that great party', it- is my fixed purpose to keep the faith and redeem the pledge at all haz ards and under all circumstances. - (Three cheers for Douglas.) The Safety of, • the Union depends upon'a strict - adherence to the doctrines of non-intervention—inter-1 vention means disunion: - Intervention, whether by the North or by the South— whether for or against slavery—tends di rectly to .disunion. Upon - this identical question - an attempt is now being made to divide and 'destroy the Democratic party.
