Jack Dominoes *cams( all M late Illnesuevermthr Nstlowal Batetweas, Saturday aistit, Jape 5, 1862. Te James Dowses', Bee. Per never Divoaraveler, &eh of Maine. Dear Uncle Joshua : The job is done, and it's been about the toughest week's work that I ever did. lv'e sweat like a tiger all the week. I'm as hungy as a bear • not but what there's been vittles e nont plenty of it, and geed too, and plen ty liquor too, more than the Maine law ociaM upset and spill in six months, but the trouble is, we had so mueh to do that we couldn't get time to eat. I guess I've made out to ketch a lunch of a few mouth fuls about twice a day, and got a chance to sleep upon an average about two hours a night. After I've writ this letter to you, I mean to turn in and sleep over till Mon day, and then streak it home and help 'to get up the mass meeting to ratify the nom- ination—the ratification of Downingville must be a roarer. You better be getting. things ready for it till I come. I wish I could give you some idea of the week's work we have had here. I've worked in the logging swamp, and know what 'tis to handle logs, and pile 'em on the bank, and roll em into the rivlk6; and I've worked on burnt fields in clearing up, and know what 'tis to chop and pile from Mon day morning till Saturday night; but I declare to man this has been the tuffest week of log-rolling I ever see. But I don't begrudge the work a bit, we've made such a nice job of it, and savedithe country.— We've put life into the Democratio party _mile, that we thought lest fall wean, dead as a door-nail. We killed off abolition, we've choked to death Secession, and gin Froesoil the fits; and I expect we've thun derstruck Whiggery so that it neier'll get over it. We've got the Democratic party fitly unite begs again , standing on the old platform that General Jackson eft Ron f that is,*gin the Bank, agin the Tariff, agile Interal Improvements; and now we've nothing to do but go ahead. But I must tell you something about thed»ius. I:couldn't get in as one of the ' nagEtlarodadvses from Maine , because the 'larmidint said MY name wasn't on the list. But as soon as I told him I was the dele gate from 'Downingville, he took me by the hand, and stays ho e (fAll right, Major Dowtringam very'glad to nee you here ; you can coins in as a supernumerary, and yentas' do agreat deal More good than if you were a regular delegate, for you can go . Orman quietly among all the delegates ..ared Imlp to make em harmonize; there's a greet of tha t workto be done before we min get tiring, arid r . ilon't know of any body that Can do more in that line than you /Sina i Major if you hadn't been sent a. de -.a.to from Downin,gville, you would readily be permitted to take part in . the prooesdings of the Convention Out of respect for the great Services you rendered Gerund Jackson in the times that tried the souliiof Democrats," So I went right lawn took hold, and. went to work.— Thane was an awful jail; it seemed most impossible to do anyting. But I off coat, and `elbowed nay 'way right through em from one end of the hall to 'tether; and I pretty soon got the swing of it, so I could tell whereto ptdl,-uid where to push, and where to put under the handspikes and lift. And, when the members got rip' to Mike speeehes; and get talking too much, or the wrong.way, I knew just when to take hold of llmirooat tails and pall em down on te.dreir one; And sometimes I had to gointri the glialtiry; too, to; keep the peo ple straight tip there and in spite of all I could do they wouldsometimes hoorah and him in the wrong place. •So you may judge I've had my hands fall all week.— was determined to have a nomina tion, if I worked my hands off up to my elbows,. It wan very hard to get a nomi eatine this time, and if 1 had t been here, though r any it 'myself, I don't believe they meld a got one at all, Thwfi Ireal bard piece of sledding we come across was the platform hulloes' ; that is (ii say. the question whether we should go to work and make a platform first, or to take right hold and nominate first. , It. was a knotty question. and seem ed tohother con* of thb members a gond den. Mr. Nabors and Mr. Wise. and seise Others. insisted nponitthat we should begirt*. the foindation. and make a plat form Boit for the Democratic platform to standout: and than make a candidate to fit it: No work would ever stand well un itise, yen. begin at the bottom and lay a good foundation first. liars', a dozen parties here, every one fighting for their particular, candidate. and each one hoping to. pet ; the nomination. As long as that hope how it Will hold em all together, and we can Make em all work to help build a platform. But the moment one gets the nomination," the rest will all fly off in a tangent; there will be no more Working on a platform, and your candidate will' be left standing upoa nothing. But Mr. Soule, of Louisiana, and Guy. Floyd.of Virginny, rowed just as hard Cruller way. They declared we never could make a platform first. If we undertook to go to work up on it now, every one of the dozen ponies should be pulling and hauling agin each other, run each one hewing and cuttingaud carving to make the platform to sun his own candidate. In that way we never could make a platform if we should work fmni the first of June to the cud of time. The fact is the platform must be made for the country ; that is, for the Democratic party, and not for a candidate. As soon as the candidate is ketched and haltered and tied to a stump, we can sit down cairn ; ly, and work together, and make a plat form to suit the whole Democracy. The dispute went on pretty high nearly all day, and was got over at last by a sort of compromise to have the platform and the nomination both going on together. So a communes of one from each State was ap pointed' to go to work building the plat finis while the Convention went on to nominate ; thee, as soon as the candidate was nominated, the platform could be rea dy to set ben right on to it. Then came the nominating, and that was au uphill burliness for about three days and tamer three nights. Ii wee found ou the first Pull that the Old Fogies was a' good deal too strong for Young America, and ir .then, hadn't been, so many Old Fo gies kite* field, we shouldbave got a can didate on the first haul. Gineral Cass and Mr. Buchanan each started with a heavy late. Mr. Cass, was a litde ahead, sad he kept the lead for about twenty pelts, and we thought by sticking to him like wax we might be able to get him over the hill, But hat team began to lag after Sal or a dome pulls, and now at the men stela pgt it mimed to be slowly backing bouts kill. cad the Buchanao team suer intid got ahead. 'rhea we_ thought "vi had bat it hitch on to Buchanan, and thelbe m e tenths fetch hint bibs the hill. Ws mitre* tip fit it few pulls pretty well, but didn't get near to the top belts* the Buchanan team tot stuck.* the* began to back down the hilt and all *a could do we couldn't start it ahead again. But the Cass team, which had backed deisie al moat to the bottom 'of the bilk, after rein ing and breathing a little, new took a - freak start income up. At that we hitched on, again and determined if pOseible to shove him over this time. We whipped, and spurred, and pulled, and pushed, and hol lered, and screamed, and the team hauled well. The old ox-hows creaked, and we begun tlts think we should reach the top. But when we got about two-thirds the way up, the team got stuck again ; and though it took eight or ten smart pulls after this, it didn't get an y higher, but every time backed down a little. It was pretty dear after this that it was *gone goose with the Old Fogies. We hadn't no hopes of em any longer. If the Cass and Buchanan team could a been hitched together they would have walked offer the hill creasy as a cat could lick her ear. But there was so much quarrel ling 'among the drivers that this couldn't be'done. Every driver was proud of his Own team, and would stick to it and have nothing to do with tother. • The Virgin-. ny delegation went 'out a good many times to tonsider of it and make up their'' Minds, and every time they • come in they marched right up and took their stand by the Buchanan team. They stuck to that team without flinching, for thirty-three steady pulls and for the list ten or fifteen'' pulls [couldn't think of nothing else but' "old Virginny never tire." But there was a good many others stuck it out f,lll is, long, and some a good deal longer than old Virginny, before they gin up. We tried a few pulls with the Marcy team and a few with the Butler team, but it was no' go. We became satisfied there.wasn't an Old Fogy in the field who could ever reach the top of the hill. We begun to look around now to see how Young Amer ica was getting along. The Douglass team was made up mostly of young steers ; and it was a pretty smart team, well trained, and pulled well. But it wasn't equal to the Old Foggies fur a heiiiy putt ; it hadn't so much bone and sinew and wind and bottom. Ilnwsoinev. er, it made a pretty good scratch of it, but kept gaining gradually up the hill ; so we thought we would take hold and give Young America a boost, and see it we couldn't get a candidate that way. To tell the truth, we begun, to feel rather streaked for fear we shouldn't get a candidate at all, and felt willing to hitch 0.1 to almost any- 1 thing. But the beat we could do with Young" Ainerica, we couldn't get only aboutfialf way up the hill before the steers , begun to back down again, and we see 'twas nu use, they couldn't come it. there we was, all in a fix. We couldn't see no other chance ; we'd pato go with but a President because we couldn't nom inate a candidate. One of the members actually fainted away here, and all of us felt a good deal wormblecropt and down in the mouth. But "old Virginny never tire ;" and when we was all hitchin on around for the thirty-filth pull, old Virginny -marched into the field with a bran new team. Every body startled, and cried out. What team is that t What team is that ? and when they heard the answer, "The Fratikliii Pierce team of New Hamphire," they wouldn't hardly believe their own ears. But it was a fact, and Virginny drove that new team one pull alone. Then one or i wo ethers hitched on with her and tried eight or ten heavy pulls. All of us 'looked on and watched the working of the new team. At lain folks begun to make up their minds that that was the team to pull and straighten out the Democratic traces, and with proper help it might be got over the hill. Old North Carliner hitched on, and by-anti-by there was a general race all over the field to see who should hitch on first. It didn't make no odds who, Old Hunkers and Banihurners. and Free-Silers and Abo litho'. and Mimi and Session, and State- Rights, and Old Fogies and Young Amer ica, all run letter skelter and hitched on the Pierce team. That team I tell ye went up the bill like smoke. Some of the States rod till they was almost out of breath for fear they shouldn't hitch on be fore the team gut to the top of the hill.— But they all made out to hook on, and every State was "in at the death" and ready to jinn in the general boor-ali. After-thief we hada% no more difficulty; every thing went as regular as cluck work. The master told us we had read and spelt well, and we might all go out till four o'clock. do we went out and took a little bit of a agree, and then ensue in and took hold and worked together like broth- era, and hauled Mr. King right up to the top of the hill in two pulls. and made him Vice President. 'Ellen the_ commtittee brougirt in the new platform, and we all danced on it.— in the crowd and (mansion we couldn't ace what it was madu on, but we was tow it went akin the Bank, and aeitt the Tariff and agin Internal Improvements, and was a first-rate platform ; so we all jump ed nn and said it couldn't be no better.

Tb the Editors of the New York Express: In the extract which you quote from the Boston Journal representing General Pierce to be one of ••the nobility," the ed itor states that the Democratic candidate for the Presidency is ••a lineal descendant of the family f Percys and the Duke of NNorthumberland, the title being now ex tinct." This will be news to Gen. Pierce's "noble cousins," who are thus put to death and made "extinct.", There is a gentleman of some note now sitting in the House of Lords whose name is ilkernon Percy, and who wears the title and honors of ,a Duke. He is styled the "Duke of Northumberland." He is sixty years of age, hale and hearty. He is immensely rich, and if "British gold," to which Locofoco oratory is always ferv id in imputing Whig victories, will help a Democratic candidate, the duke certainly can give his cousin Franklin a lift. He has plenty of palaces to live in, among which are the famed Alnwick Castle and Keilder Castle ; also Northumberland House in London,Stanwick Park in York shire, Sion House in Middlesex, and Wer rington Park in Cornwall. Now, the Democratic candidate has not only all this amount of rich relationship. !ewes he is a "lineal descendant of the Doke of Northumberland," he may boast of the moat distinguished pedigree of any candidate we have ever had for the Presi dency. In the chapel of the latnily, at Alnwick castle, is emblazoned in letters of gold, the whole line of pedigree, dis tinctly tracing it back..froin the present duke. father and sou, to the Emperor • Charlemagne. When President Pierce, therefore, mounts the Presidential chair, we shall have to rule over us a I ineal de scendant of the Emperor Charlemagne ! Three cheers for the Democracy !

GOOD NEWS bolt TARIFF DEMOCRATS Observer, the ‘Vashington Correspondent of the Ledger has the following bit of in teresting information for TarilT Demo crats : As to the Tariff, it has been so badly managed that I question much whether it is within the reach of resurrection.

' The York Republican well says in re lationnao the parade made by certain pa pers of the return from Maryland of a free colored boy, who was unjustly detained there : '•lt is one of the richest attempts at di verting public attention from the violation of law by the murder of a Mall, that we have ever noun.

We hope that Col. PAXTON may receive the nomination in the district, feeling quite asSiiiqd that his name will bring greater strength to the Whig cause than any other that can be presented. For Assembly, the Convention re-nomi nated our present worthy Representative, Dn. 31m.t.tNUER, on first ballot. The de seisiveness of the vote, notwithstanding the presentation of some three or four strong names to the Convention—is a flat tering tribute to the Doctor's fidelity as a Representative, aid ait earnest of the vote he will receive in October. The nomination for Commissioner was warmly contested—the friends of Mr. MICKLEY, an intelligent, worthy, and pop ular Farmer,'of Ilamiltonban township, se curing a majority ou the 9th ballot.

KrThe opposition lenders and presses are making a desperate effort to Impress the rank and filo with the idea of au al leged unwonted enthusiasm and unanimity with which the Baltimore nominations have been received. To this end the Tele=' graph, ever since the adjournment of the Loco Convention, has been kept btisy with despatches, sent hither and thither, pur porting to represent the feelings of the Democracy in various sections of the Union. Of course these despatches are manufac-1 tared to order and fur the occasion. It is simply ridiculous to talk seriously about the Democracy viewing with complacency 1 the sudden sacrifice of all their prominent, well-tried, and trusty leaders, and throwing 1 up their caps in honor of some subaltern suddenly called from obscurity and invest-1 ed with the chief command. It is not in I human nature to do so. But notwith-1 standing the desperate efforts of the lead ers thus to hoodwink the rank and file and ! galvanize the party into an unnatural and 1 forced enthusiasm, the truth will out, and we have it all around us in -the ill-disguis ed mutterings of disappointment and wrath, evinced by the partizans of the defeated candidates. We might load our columns with extracts innumerable of this kind, but the annexed from the Harrisburg "Demo cratic Union," the central organ of the Democracy of the State, will suffice nsa Ram ple ;of the whole. Speaking of Buchanan's defeat, the Union says : "lie (Mr. Buchanan) had a higher Democratic vote in the Convention for three days than any two of the other candidates, and I n all human pro, bility would have been nominated if it had not been fur the blood hounds that were constantly on his track attempting ;to frighten oty aisles that weredisposed to come into his support. We ven tura to say that the history of the politico of this country has never presented such a self degrading spertnek as was exhibited at Baltimore last week." The Norristown Watchman, a Cass pa per, gives us a peep at the private history of the doings of the Convention, and gives us to understand that the apparent unan imity of Mr. PIERCE'S nomination was not quite so Silleere as the published proeeed iugs would lead us to believe. The iliac/a nion says that : "Had Pennsylvania gone for Cass on the 34th ballot, as she should have dune, ho would have been nominated." And again, a little fart her on in the samo article the of the II Itichman continues : "The Pennsylvania Delegation did not even cast their vote for lien. !Nemo on the last ballot, but for Mr. Buchanan, and it was nut until nearly the whole Convention ruse to their feet, and called loudly upon them from every part of the room, that they asked to retire. It use hero evident that Pierce would be almost unanimously nomi• netted, and when they returned they cast their vote for him, although against the earnest protes tation of some of the members." Congrews. The proceeding of Congress during the last week were not marked with much in terest. The resolution of the House to' adjourn ou the pith of August was tabled" in the Senate. The House, on Tuesday, adjourned over to Friday, and the Senate until Saturday. Ou Friday last, in the 1101180, pending the consideration of the Indian Appropriation Bill, Mr. Srrv►:s made an able speech in opposition to the squandering of the public lands upon Rail road companies and Western Corporations, to the prejudice of the old States, mid in favor of the protective policy. We tied the following passages noticed in the Haiti more Sun : Mr. Stevens (Pa) spoke of the Public Lands, arguing that they were ceded and acquired fur the benefit of all the States, and that there was no Constitutional au thority to make grants to one State which did not apply to all, according to the Fed eral representation in this body. Ho re garded the various bills reported, giving lands to certain States for Railroads, as partial and odious. `, lie advocated pro tection to American manufactures, vigor ously opposing free trade, and deprecated the reduction of labor to ten cents a day, which would result under the policy ad vocated by Pierce and Buchanan. Mr. McLanalian wished to know wheth er the gentleman said Buchanan ever ad vocated the seduction of the price of labor to ten cents a day. Mr. Stevens replied that some say ten cents, but that lie thought it would be a bout eleven. [Laughter.] Mr. Rantoul briefly replied, lauding free trade, and saying he was not afraid the American people will be made to believe that the highest taxation is the' greatest blessing, He complained of his haiing been thrust out of the Baltimore Convention, and he and his district thus imitated. The reason for it was, that on being asketLwhether he would support the platform, he return; ed answer that ha would do hie own think ing, and said theie were millions of Ninth-, ern white men who will the same.

Whig National Convention as sembled in the Hall of the Maryland Insti tute, in Baltimore, on Wednesday, at 12 o'clock, 31. Every State in the Union is fully represented, and the ablest men in Whig party are on the ground., The crowd in attendance iirepieirentod eing much larger than at tho Democratic Con vention, and the anxiety to ascertain tho result of the Convention's - doings unprece dented. We regret that we have nothing decisive to communicate to our readers this morning—nothing definite having been done up to three o'clock yesterday. The Convention was temporarily organ ized by selecting MIME EVANS, of M nine, as temporar'y President. lien. JOHN G. CHAPMAN, of Maryland, was subsequently unanimously chosen permanent President, assisted by a Vice President from each State—JOHN STROHM representing rent'- , sylvania in the list of Vice Presidents, and Jens C. Kus rut: in the list of Secretaries. Messrs. Evans and Chapman each, iu tak ing the chair, made handsome speeches, invoking harmony, kiiid feeling, and con ! cession. A Committee of one from each State was appointed to examine and report en thu credentials of delegates, and (specially the disputed seats front N. York and Vermont. After which the Convention adjourned. Nothing definite had occurred in thu doings of the Convention to indicate its probable choice of a candidate. The friends of Gen. Scott are tot the ground in great force, active, influential, and confident of success, while the Webster nip were grow ing sanguine iu their hopes, in view of the rumors that the Fillmore men would go over to tfr. NVebster. The contest ovi deutlytes between Scott and Webster, and we can hardly think it possible that tho Convention will hesitate as to a choice.— Tim. Fillmore men had held a caucus, at which, it is said, resolutions were adopted to throw their votes for )Ir. IVebstet, ht ease ed a failure to nominate their lavorite ; but in that case, the Scott men calculated on accessions from Virginia, Kentucky. Louisiana. and oilier States. The Web ster men had also held a caucus, st which it was determined to hold out for their A caucus of delegates from the South ern States had adopted a platform, reeog liming thu Compromise measures, includ ing thu Fugitive Slave law. as a finality, which was to be brought before the Con vention. The Baltimore Sun of yesterday, after alluding to the talent, high-toned feeling, and strongly marked liberality of spirit, that characterized the Convention, has the followiir; paragraph : ...So far the Convention hos made no sign. No thing that has linen done ■fords any room for conjoetnre on to the peohishlo result.

Upon which all sections of the country will rally with spirit and determination." Be the result of the Convention's delib erations what it may, of one thing our friends may feel assured, viz.:—that in nv event will the Convention imitate the sui cidal policy of the Opposition and sacri fice its best men, in order to take up some unknown and obscure candidate.

' ' SINOULAR OcinzeT.--Oa Friday, 7th of May. a little child 'four years old. son of Jeremiah Myers, near G-streeti SoOth Boston. while returning from school, was Was suddenly seized welt the most intense dirmulti of breathing anti violent cough. He ran home immediately, said he had something in Ili/ mouth, when a boy threatened to whip him ; that he had swal lowed the substance and was choked. Dr. Mann was Called in, who pronounced it a ' case of croup. The child remained in this situation until 4 o'clock Saturday morning, eleven hours alter the attack, when the dilliculty of respiration, &c,, quite sudden 1Y 'disappeared. The child was relieved, but did not perfectly recover. (in the fifth day after the attack, Dr. Heaton was called in, and saw him last-on the eighth day. On May 17th, ten days alter the commencement of the disease, the child had an attack of convulsions. Dr. Fogg was then called in, and upon learniug the mode of attack and the previous eymptoms, concurred with Dr. Heaton in the opinion that some foreign body had entered the trachea. The child suffered from inflamma tion of the lungs from that date unto his death, on the f ,Sth of June. Three days before his deatli,'a large quantity of offen sive, gangrenous matter was discharged front the lungs, with the most imminent danger of suffocation. An examination of the body was made a few hours alter death. The left lung was in a state of mortification, and contained a gill or more of matter. Upon opening the trachea to the bronchial tubes, there was found im pacted in the left bronchia a large prune alone measuring one inch its eircunyerence. and slave fiturilat of an inch in length.— There it had remained for the past thirty two days, and had ultimately caused death. —Journal. 12/A. Tux SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW IN PIIILA DELI'IIIA.-Al the opening of the June term of the Quarter Sessions of Philadel phia city and county, last Monday, Judge Thompson presiding, the Judge cherged the constables that it is the intention of the Court to prevent the vale of ardent spirits and malt liquors hereafter on the Sabbath. Judge T. remarked to them that lie had been informed that the keepers of hotels, taverns and beer houses within the juris diction 01 the Court, were in the habit of keeping such places open on the Sabbath day, the SNOW as upon other days of the week, fur die purpose of vending liquors to such persons as desired to purchase them. 'Ellis he considered unlawful, in asmuch as the act of assembly provided that no worldly employment should be carried on on the Sabbath day. If even hotel keepers kept their houses open on that day, and sold liquors to other persons than their boarders, they clearly came within the provisions of the act :dotted to, and it was his determination to see that the law was executed in every respect.— it was the duty of the Constables to see that the laws are not infringed in this par ticular. The ordinary taverns, not fitted up for the accommodation of boarders and travellers, violated the law :in every in stance where they kept open on the Sab bath day.
