' - The Baltimore Convention. yhc National Union. Convention, which to-moriw will meet in Baltimore, is at oneo the least important, the most im portant of the political Conventions of 1864. The least important, first, because it can declare no principle which has not already heen embodied in the action of the Govern-, ment, and approved'by' the people; second, Because to it tho choice of a candidate for the Presidency can scarcely be said to be entrusted.. The Cleveland Convention had the elements of uncertainty and irresponsi bility. Its members wore not elected, were not instructed by the people, were pledged to no principle, and each delegate voted in absolute independence. It had, therefore, a special value and interest, as the begin ning of a new political movement. The Chicago Convention has a similar basis.. "The party which it will represent is a chaos and a, contradiction; it iu-. : .'dudes men who denounce the war, and. men who uphold it ; those Who be lieve slavery to be af blessing, those who profess to consider it a necessary evil; those who pity McCieilan jor his failures, and sympathize- with VAi.itbiDiGTtAM for his banishment; many who are ready to accept Fkemoxt, with all his radical intentions, more who endorse Seymour for his servatism- ~ v«tywith nohead; but With many lenders. Its Convention will have the power to make an anti-slavery or a pro-slavery platform, ns expediency shall suggest, and to choose, a candidate from men who represent, the very extremes of opposition.: Who can tell whether Val- LAKDIGIIAJt, McCLELLAN, or FREMONT will be nominated at Chicago ? The par ly has but one common principle of hostili ty to the Government, and its Convention -pill have the importance of a body to -which is entrusted the shaping of a definite policy out of indefinite materials. ; : The Baltimore Convention has ho such work before it. . Its course is plain. It is bound to reaffirm the radical principles, not less radical than those which at Cleve land were advanced as original discoveries, to which the Administration is pledged, to which the majority Of the people are devo ted. If it can make these principles clearer, apply them more forcibly to the. national situation, assert them more emphatically, we shall he better satisfied. . If it can add radicalism to radicalism, so much more will be gained. But it can hardly advance One step, Nor cnn it retrograde. Its platform has already been formed by the - people, maintained by tho Government, .and justi fied by the events of the war. The Convention cannot mistake or misstate hue principle. The devotion of the Na tional party to the Union, its unal terable resolution to carry', on the war till . tho rebellion is destroyed, its uncompromising hostility to slavery, and determination that the; Union shall be re stored without slavery as an element—these ■conditions and purposes wili not be debated. They are understood, accepted, and esta- . Wished as the permanent policy of the na tion, and the platform of the Convention is, therefore, predetermined by the people. For this rcasbn.it is the less'important as a political body, as it cannot originate, but will simply republish, a policy; yet for. this reason it is transcendantly the more imposing in its expression of the national will. .■ . Nor had the Convention a candidate to choose. Choice is forbidden it by the pre vious action of the people. It ira body xMch . almost beyond parallel is directly ■responsible to the people , and little more than the instrument : of their will. . Inde pendent authority it does hot possess; only • in case of sudden emergency could it re pudiate the candidate of the people, and select another; and even this would he obedience to the people. : The ' great majority of the delegates are instructed to vote for Abraham Lincoln. He has in effect been already nominated by the . National Union party in every State, from Maine to California, and the Convention Will but formally announce the decision of the people. If this absence of independ ence lessens the mere political interest of the Conventionin one respect, the fact that it will thoroughly and unquestionably obey- National instructions, gives it higher im portance. No convention has ever been so. truly a popular expression as the Baltimore Convention will be. Thus, wc do not await .with doubt or painful suspense the an nouncement: of its nomination, but listen eagerly for the speaking of the certain word which will inspire with new enthusiasm the heart of the North, and he echoed with cheers from the' Atlantic to the Pacific. The Sanitary V.iir. With what energy the managers and members of the various committees have worked to prepare the Great Pair buildings for the opening, to-morrow, those .only know who have watched tlieir progress, from day to day, and have seen in a few weeks huge piles of lumben. transformed into a gigantic palace. Unfinished as are buildings: even yet, and lacking the brilliancy of tlio countless articles :;whick have been contributed and are soon to be placed in the various departments, it is already evident tlmt the Pair will surpass, in beauty, richness, and value, the expecta tions of the public. If, while the noise of. the hammer and saw is heard, materials scatteredin confusion around, and superin tendents and workmen busy, the build ings look so well, how charming and imposing will he the display when the Pair is begun ! Two.weeks will hot be long enough even to see all the wonders of the .Pair; to appreciate the art gallery alone would need months of careful examination; the great horticultural display will be, the finest ever known iu America, and the .grand bazaar the concentrated spirit of •Clieainut street, "w Itli all its luxury unrl -.splendor. The : committees' must m»rk "hard to have the Pair ready on Tuesday afternoon for * the inaugural ceremonies. As with Aladdin’s palace, a window at least is likely to he unfinished. - The Would publishes several columna of extra cl s from the Times, t-h* Tribune, The Peeks, and other journals of 1862, in •jvhich General McClellan is praised as it Shea seemed he deserved to be.. Its object is to show the “inconsistency and shame-: less stultification of the radical press.” But that which is shown is this:. that while General McClellan commanded the army, .and had the confidence of the people and -the Government, the radical press did all it could to help him to secure victory. If 4o have spoken , frankly, when it became •evident that all his campaigns were either confessed failures or negative successes, were inconsistency,ive are content to be inconsistent. The*argument of tlie : World is too trivial to be used, except in despera tion. "I et if any radical journal chose to dignify the little subject, it might use it With terrible effect againsttlie World itself. Does Mr; MARULg*i#orgct. the time when' (Under its present editorial management, fflie World could not find words too strong "to express its admiration of Mr. Lns'cooN, and when it supported the very principles which it now affects to despise ? ~We akk requested by tho Chairman of llio Coni" mlttee on Fine Arts or the Central Fair to say that In consequence of the' large numberof very valuable pictures contributed from New York and other dis tant places, many works of art that would have been otherwise gladly reiielvod from our citizens Will not be heeded for want of space. This explana tion Is made so that those who have so kindly con sented to lend pictures for the fair may understand why it 1b that somo of them may not bo sent for. Belnrn of » Sew Jersey Betiment.

TUB CLEVELAND CONVENTION. THE NOMINATIONS ACCEPTED General Fremont Defines his Position. New Yohk, Juno s.—Generals Fremont and Cochrane kavo accepted the nomination of tho Cleveland Convention., The former, in \ a letter dated,on the 4th, says ho thanks the Convention for. the .confidence which led them to offer him the honorable and difficult position; difficult, because In accepting the candidacy he is exposed to the re proach of creating a schism in the party with which he iias been identified. Had Mr. Lincoln remained faithful to the principles he was elected to defend, no schism could have been possible. This is not an ordinary election. It is a contest for tho right men to *be candidates. Now, for the first time since 1776, the question of constitutional liberty has been brought directly before the people.: The ordinary rights secured under the Constitution, and the laws have been violated, and extraordinary powers have have been usurped by the Executive. If, as wo have been taught to believe, those guaran tees, for liberty which mado tho distinctive value* and glory of our country are In, truth Inviolably sacred, then there must bp a protest against the arbitrary violation which had -not oven tho excuso - of necessity. The schism is made by those who force the choice between a; shameful silence or a protest against wrong. . He says the - admirable conduct of the pooplo— their readiness to make every saorilico demanded of them—their forbearance and silence under the sus pension of ovefytiling that could, bo suspended— their many acts of heroism and sacrifice—were all rendered fruitless by the incapacity, or to speak more exactly, the personal ends for which the war was managed. ■ '■■vf : . The principles which form the basis of the plat form of tho Convention have: my unqualified and cordial approbation, but I cannot so heartily concur in all the measures whch you propose/ I do hot believe that confiscation extended to tho property of ail robcls is practicable, and if It wore so, I do not think it: a measure of sound policy. It is, in fact, a question belonging. to the people themselves to decide. In the adjustments which are to follow peace, no considerations of vongoanco can consistently he admitted: With the extinction of slavery the party divisions created by it have also disappeared. ir the Convention at Baltimore will: nominate any man whoso past life justifies a woll-groundod confidence in his fidelity to our oardinarprineiples, I shall bo most happy to give a cordial and active support.

Gentlemen; Your letter, inviting me to be pre sent at a mass meeting of loyal citizens to be held at New York on the 4th Instant, for the purpose of expressing gratitude to Lieutenant General Grant for his signal services, was received yesterday. = It is impossible for me to attend. I approve, nevertheless, whatever may tend to strengthen ana sustain General Grant and the noble armies now under his direction. My previous high estimate of General Grant has been maintained and heightened bv what has oc curred in the remarkable campaign he is now con ducting, while the magnitude and difficulty of the task before him does not prove less than I ex pected. He and his brave soldiers are now in the midst of their great trial, and I trust that at your meeting' you will so %hape your good words that they may' turn to men and guns moving to his and their sup port. Yours, truly, A.‘ Lincoln. , LETTER EROM SECRET AST CHASE. / Washington, June 3,1884.

I thank you for the honor of an invitation to take part in their patriotic action, and regret that'the necessity of devoting my whole time tomy official duties will make it impos sible for me to be personally present. V Nothing can be said, however, in the spirit of your letter to which my whole heart will not respond. Pcrmitme to add that, while we rejoice in’tho success of our armies and give thanks to God for them, we should not forget that there is one elas3 of defenders of the flag—one class of men loyal to the Union—to whom we yet fail, to do complete justice,: It will be tho marvel of future historians that states men of this day wore willing to risk the success of rebellion rather titan entrust to black' lets and ballots.

STEAMER rOWSATAX. The United States steamer Powhatan was spoken off Barhadoes, May 22, cruising'for the pirate Flo rida. . The three P. M. train from Philadelphia on Fri day brought to this city one George L. Marston, who claims, to,be an English subject. On his arrival here Marston registoredat the Astor House. Early in the evening ho left the city on tho Blooniihgdale road, in .a carriage, and closely followed by George Brown, of the United States 'detective police, who has been on his track for several days. Mars ton soon discovered, that he was followed, and at tempted to escape, by rapid driving;, hut Brown soon overhauled Minx, ana, produeing a revolver,, ordered him to heave to. The reply was a- pistol shot, and both parties leaped from their carriages, ‘ .Marston.still endeavoring to escape. Brown rapidly followed, firing as ho ran. After a sharp, chase Marston suddenly turned and, shot Brown through the arm, and. with . this advantage easily es caped, though a trail; of blood indicated that he escaped not unscathed.'Brown returned to the. city, and parties were immediately despatched in pursuit oi Marston, .who will doubtless ho ; cap-' tured. For several weeks past Marston has boon confined in the. Old Capitol prison at Washington as a suspicious character; but as no proof oouhl be obtained against him lie was rcleasod on the 26th of May, and detectives set to watch him. When ho left Washington- Brown kept him constantly in sight, and it seems from Marston’s movements that he more than suspected lie was watched; hence his attempt to leave the city in a carriage.

Ho thought his language last night mighChe considered hasty, and as a reason for his earnestness of manner ho caused to ho road several letters to show that there was an association in Cleveland to raise money to influence tho passage of tho bankrupt, hilt. His colleague, Mr. Spauld ing, last night applied language to him equivalent to the remark that ho hadk stated an untruth. lie did nob ohooae to continue a colloquy with a col tcoguo who had thus imnoached his voracity. His colloaguo wnsin tho maturity oflifo, he was a child, and hence he thought it was cruel, unjust, and un generous to apply such language to him. He had homo with his colleague’s 111-nature In consequence of his rospcct for his age. Ho had en tertained a hope bis colleague would have retracted tho language, which was now impossible, ns his col league had made expressions out3ido of a similar character. Mr. SPAULDING, of Ohio, said ho hadno.know ledge whatever of such a combination as that men- Uoued to influence tho passagoof tho bankrupt bill, INo person in Cleveland, Now York, or any other quarter, had approached him fi\ the shape of pro mises ot money or anything elso,"to. innuendo his conduct upon this subject. Ho challenged the unl -vcrsal world to produce such' evidence. With re gard to the charge of ungenerous treatment, ho had to say that his colleague exhibited an nrmsual de gree of temper. .When ho last m-ht asked hfs col whfufer he haii*so<>" roa ' l, ; lira blff?n order to Knbw flora the ben -, * ??, ■ ho . ni 11 a provision *■« DroHlSilt tlam hi* -" IS of tho bill persons now In robet- VSV.v “ colleague assorted. that he hail road it. minut reiieolion lie (Mr. Spaulding) suggested a ilouht that his colleague had road ii. 110 now ills claimed nny intention to doubt his veracity; but If his colleague had rearltheblll he did not understand it. He eould not, to that extent, respect his col league’s intelligence. Mr. JENOKES, of Rhode Island, expressed his astonishincntnt the gentleman (Mr. Garfield) read ing anonymous extracts from newspapers, and let ters equally anonymous, in order to imj>each the in tegrity of some one in this House. Mr. GARFIELD denied that he had impeached .or impugned the character of any one. Mr. JENOKES asked what then was tho object of rending these pnpers l » Mr. GARFIELD replied that he desired to give information to the House that a moneyed corpora tion was engaged in attempting to influence the ac tion of this House on the bankrupt bill. ! Mr. JENCKES, resuming, said the gentleman had caused to be read a slander on those in favor of this bill, thus giving countenance tolobbyists. The gentleman had recognized their existence. Mr, GARFIELD said their names were all printed. Mr. JENCKES. Do you know them all! , V Mr. GARFIELD replied that he knew one of them to be a banker in Ohio.; He understood that certain brokers and bankers in New York and else where are exceedingly anxious for the passage of the bill. : • - Mr. .IE3NGKES said the object of introducing the correspondence was to slander some one and arraign the whole House. Mr. GARFIELD explained. Be road the pa pers that the House might know why, in his re marks last night, he exhibited guoh a degree of earnestness. . Mr. JENCKES replied that tho gentleman ought to. be more careful, hereafter, in investigating the genuineness of such correspondence. This was not the first time the gentleman had read letters which were not sustained by the test of investigation. He challenged any person to say that the Senate Com mittee on IBankruptcy were influenced by any other motives than the public good. Ho said last night, and now repeated, that fie was willing to hear any gentleman who pretends to bo a statesman make an argument to show why the measure should not be passed. Mr. SMITH, of Kentucky, moved that trhen the House adjourn, it be till Wednesday. - This was disagreed to by a large majority. TflE TARIPK BILL,.

THE AMD OF THE POTOMAC TIIE GltfilT BATTLE ON FRIDAY. THE whole line engaged, The Araly One Mile Beyond Cold Ilarbor. DETAILS OF FRIDAY’S BATTLE. Headquarters, Army ov thi: Potomac, Fri day, June 3—5 A. M.—No heavy fighting took place yesterday. The skirmishing at (Uffertmt points was brisk du ring the afternoon., and General -Burnside with drawing from the right, the enemy followed up and madou> demonstration to turn General Warren’s fight, but were compelled to give it up, as our posi tion was too strong. An attack wos to have been made iato yesterday afternoon, but a heavy storm coming up it was post poned till this morning. Heavy firing is now heard on the lea or the line, said to be General Hnneock’e. In the fight on Wednesday, between tho Ctli Corps and the enemy, at Gold Harbor, the gallantry of our men was the theme of praise yesterday by alt. ; General Ricketts’ division charged a line of breast works, sustaining a loss of 500 men, but inflicting heavy punishment on the foe, and taking about 090 prisoners. General Meade sent General Ricketts an order thanking him and his command for the manner in which they had carried the position. . General Upton’s brigade, of General Russell’s division, was on the left of Ricketts, and also charged a line at the same time. Tho 2d Connecti cut Heavy Artillery getting within a few yards of the entrenchments, were received by.sueh a terrible fire as to cause-them to fall back about a hundred yards, where they halted, and moving a little to the left, flanked and gained possession or aportion of the line, which they held all night until relieved, Theic loss was very heavy, being about 355 in killed, wOunded, and missing, among whom are tho Pillow ing: Col. : Kellogg, commanding, killed while Snaking the charge; Capt.. L; Wadhaus, killed; Lieut. Cob Henry, Ist New Jersey, wounded ; Col. Trnax, 14th New Jersey, wounded in the hand ; Co!. " Moody, 139th Pennsylvania, reported wounded. Tho 2d Connecticut is a new regiment and had never been in a fight before, but acted like veterans. .Six o'clock A. M.—l-nst evening Sergeant John Carrignn, TJ. S. Signal Corps, was taking down the wires to where the headquarters had been yester day. He was halted and asked what he was doing. He was then fired upon, two bails passing through his head and one through bis leg, the wound being pronounced mortal. The others of"the party got hack safe with all their apparatus. A caisson was exploded, a few minutes since, by a shell of the enemy passing' through it. The firing i 3 very brisk at this hour. In the fight on Wednesday near Cold Harbor, General. Smith’s command took an active part on Hie right of the Cth Corps, driving back the enemy With considerable loss. The command lost about 1,400 killed aiid Stoimded. The fight between the sth Corps and the efififcy on the same day was much severer than first reported. Gen. Ayres’ division got so far in advance that it was flanked by a- heavy farce of rebels, but it .forced its way back three qnarters of a mile fhrough thick woods, regaining the corps with considerable loss. Here they took position and repulsed an at tack, which was made on the position afterwards, the enemy losing at least 3,000 ia killed-mud wound ed, being nearly twice as large as oars. Eight o’clock A. M.—General Barlow's division of General Hancock’s corps charged a line of breast works early in the morning, capturing about 250 . prisoners, with colors, arms, &e., and, it is reported, two guns. General Smith’s command also took a lino of works this morning, but was forced to /all back af terwards. He is now attempting to recover them. Ten o’clock, A. fil.—General Tyler was shot £n the leg about an hour since, the ball passing through, his horse's hip. Colonel Morris, 66th New York, was killed. ’ Colonel Haskell, of General Gibbons' staff was killed. Headquarters . Aksiy op the Potomac, June 3,9 P.M. —Fighting has been going on nearly alt day along the line, but principally artillery. Tha casualties have been quite large. When General Barlow’s division charged the eao nay’s works, early this morning, ho succeeded in getting possession of seventeen guns, besides 250 prisoners, but not being supported, and subjected to 5 enfilading fire, he was compelled to evacuate the works he had so gallantly taken and abandon the guns. His loss was very severe, amounting to about 800. . General Warren’s corps, bn the right, was at tacked this afternoon by a heavy force of rebels, but they were handsomely repulsed with severe lots. - The IBth Corps were engaged in skirmishing most of the day, and made a charge on a portion of the line In the front but but were unable to hold it, and they fell back to their former potition. The 6th Corps on the left or the ISth have been engaged more or less all day 4 and they have suffered a good deal the past two days. * An attack on the left of the 2d Corps,'supposed * for the purpose of fecliing our left, was made an hour ago (8 P. M.), but the enemy were soon driven off. The loss is not known. A captain of rebel cavalry was captured a day or /V two ago, while trying to rally his men. He was ter- ribly excited, and cursed his men at a terrible rate, saying that the whole Southern cavalry were worth less, and it was no nse trying to fight the Yankee cavalry. Their horses, he said, were played out, and if they made a stand they could never get away, so they always made sure to get a good start before the Yankees came too close. Our losses during the past- two days at Coal Harbor, will number near 5.000 killed and wounded, while the enemy’s losses will be near the same. The change in the position to-day has been very little, our advance being about a mile beyond Coal Harbor. ■ • Sharp Shooting.— Acorrespondent, writingfrota: the field of operations on James river, says-: “Pri vate Parks, of the 14$th New York, skilled in tho use of the rifle, made his way beyond the skirmish ers, and crawled up to within a short distance of them. Getting his eye upon a rebel sharpshooter, he raised his head to fire. The rebel di*l the same. Two reports, sounding like one, and the two mem were shot dead, each having a bullet through hiA head. SPECIAL NOTICES. Kkh- Tokk, April IS.ISM. M'e respectfully invite yonr attention to and conside ration of the justly celebrated and reliable remedy for Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Debility, and Prostration; The proprietors are r-rond to acknowledge the unparalleled success which has attended the sa'le of their valuable preparation, known in nearly every portion of the civilizedworld.asthe "GOLDEX BITTERS." We risk nothing when we term them a valuable pre paration, for they are ; one •of the few articles of th. present day which are not a humbug ; and We are wil ling and able to satisfy any person or persons who will call upon ns, that the celebrated “Golden Bitters" are a genuine, bona fide hygienic article. It is the wish of the proprietors that the virtue of the article be tested be fore condemning. A decision of their merits by any one who has tried them-is worth a million of purchased bogus testimonials. For creating a healthy APPBTITjB' they are invaluable, and are unequalled as a TONIC.' They are mild in their action, and operate in giving vigor and strength to the system-—not by any change they produce in the solids, bat through the medium of the living principle. They are purely VEGETABLE, being composed of Gentian Root, .Calamus, Sassafras, and many other remedial agents of the Vegetable world, all preserved in Jamaica Rum and Sherry Wine. AS A BEVERAGE they are the most wholesome* invigorating, andpakz tdble stimulant ever offeredto the public. And the fact of their being prepared chemically and scientifically precludes the possibility of a bitter, unpleasant taste, common to Bitters generally offered for sale. We es pecially recommend them to LADIES, and particularly to those suffering from Debility, Weakness, and Pros tration. Haifa wine glass of these “Bitiers” three or four times a; day will produce a remarkable healthy change in persons greatly debilitated* The “Golden Bitters’/ have been tried and not found wanting.
