I) Brooks, the Superintendent of the Ptu dalphia Telegraph Office, we are under many obits* iions, for hi• successful labors in furnishing tte themes ergo ahead of ell competition DEMOCRATIC CITY CONVENTION. On Tuesday, the Democratic City Conven tion mot and nominated Alexander Mcilwaine fur, Mayor, Alexander Hunter for Controller, and John D. Moreland for City Treasurer . The ofticial proceedings may be found upon our Local, page. The most perfect harmony pre. veiled, and after a close contest for the nomi nations, the successful candidate was hailed with shouts, and the nomination was declared Unlin MIN.& Our candidate for the Mayoralty is a young, active and energetic business man. All his life dependent upon his own exertions for a liveli hood for himself and family, he has been a hard worker, and at the same time he has ac quired an education and knowledge of letters which many men of more pretensions might kie proud of. He is a clever writer, and a nerv ous, eloquent public speaker. His business attainments are of the first order. He comes pf r .....trooff- Democratic stock, and has himself, jell his life, been an unswerving advocate of the principles of the party. Tf elected, as we have no doubt he will be, in the present disorganized condition of our opponents, he will make a most competent officer, and fulfil his duties with credit to his native city and to the benefit of his fellow citizens. The candidates for Controller and Treasurer are both gentlemen eminently well qualified for those positions, and who will, if elected, perform their respective duties for the best in terests of the city. It now behooves every good Democrat to go to work with alacrity, and use every exertion to secure the election of the ticket, against which there can be no possible objection For the Pitteburgh Poet. Ma. BARR have observed that the prrinsercigi Journal speaks in a sneering and Putemptuous way of the upion meetings,.. in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. As I live in the country, and see but one or two papers, I must request it of you, as a favor, to inform me whether the press of Pittsburgh generally manifest the same spirit' I hope, for the honor of your city and county. that this is not the case. I would like also to know whether there is among us any 'distinct Aboli tion party, or whether it is identified with the Republican party The great mass of our fellow citizens, I am csnfldent, if an opportunity were afforded them to express their feelings, would show the same attachtpent to the union established by our forefathers, as we have witnessed in Phil adelphia. I believe that the treasonable preaching/ of such men as Cheever, Weed, and Giddinga,are confined to that small number who exalt Barrabbas, the mover of sedition, Ile robber, and murderer, above Christ. The insulting and contemptuous language applied by many among us to the Southern atates, has become so habitual, that some of our editors and preachers do so unconsciously, and are unable, to conceive, that this is calculated to create unfriendly feelings, and to destroy that harmony on which the union of the States ia founded ! They console themselves with the idea that in case any of the Southern States siboatkorr—ithdraw from that union, Thaddeus SteNElK'' the hero of the " Buckshot War," has announced his intention to whip them back again ! I should like to know whether some of the best customers for Pittsburgh Manu factories, and productions, are not in, the South ern States. I believe that some our wise men in the pulpit and at the press, labor under a great mistake when they take it for granted, that the great body of our mechanics and la boring population would take the aide of the blanks, in a contest between them and the rwhites of the South. • am informed by an intellgenl friend that in p litidal donteit a few years ago, when was in New York, there was a grand procession Etu u p in Pittsburgh by the Abolitionists or blicans, in which the national flag was carried through the streets with but sixteen stars, the other fifteen being expunged or blot ted out ; and in addition that the free States were represented by sixteen maidens dressed in white, and fifteen dressed in black, with black veils and black gloves, representing the neg'o States. The Eastern States endeavored to blot out the Southern stars from the flag, on a recent occasion, but was instantly put down by the patriotic feelings of the people. Yours, kc. a. M.

DEMOCRATIC CITY CONVENTION HARMONIOUS ACTION. Alexander M , llwaine, Esq., Nominated for Mayor—Alexander Hunter, Esq.,for Con troller, and John D. Moreland, Esq., for Treasurer. Tte delegates selected by the Democracy on Thursday last for the purpose of nominating candidates for Mayor, Treasurer, and Con troller, assembled in the Supreme Court room in convention on Tuesday morning.

Moistein, Fourth Ward, J H. Weeks for Samuel Hays, in the Ninth Ward. On motion of Mr. Richards, Dr. Geo. H Keyser was unanimously chosen as permanent President of the Convention, who, upon taking his seat, addressed the Convention as follouls GYNTLYMYN OT THY !CONY ENTlol::—Wr meet to-day, for the first time in many years, under very auspicious circumstances. I can do little less than to thank you, with my hand on my heart, for the distinguished honor you have conferred upon me, and whatever sacri fices of personal nature might be asked for the harmony of the party, for the success at' the ticket, for the prosperity of the city. I will willingly make. I hope Chat the delegate~ to-day. whatever they may have of pursonal friendship—whatever they may owe to any single man, when the time comes to vote, when battling for their friends, still bear in mind the necessity of keeping up the organization of the party, and sacrifice their preferences on the altar of Democracy. Men live and pats away from the stage of action; principles are not character: the principles of a hundred years ago in our government still last, and will, I trust, as long as that government holds to gether, as upon the main principles of Democ racy depend the_ success and permanency of the government. I say this in no disrespect to our Republican brethren—they have the same deep and abiding interest in our city, and act from the same honest motives in the discharge of their duty to the pity and' their country-- but at the same time, believing that it is to our best interests to sustain Democratic principles, it is our duty to labor for the harmony, peace and concord of the party and the success of Its principles. Whatever sacrifices it may cost him, I hope that every delegate, when the re sult of this Convention shall be known, may send up a loud acclaim for its nominees and evert all his efforts in their behalf—and I hope they may go forth to piece in the chair of the Mayoralty a man worthy of all confidence— one who will meet not only the approbation of our own party, but also that of its opponents. On motion of Mr. Barnett, James M. Rich ards and Thomas B. Hamilton were elected permanent Secretaries of the Convention, and William C. Moreland was, on another motion, added. On motion of Mr. Alexander, the Conven tion proceede4 to the nomination of candidates for gayor, controller and Treasurer, and on motion of Mr. 13 arnett it was resolved to vote viva tv,ce. Alexander Milwaine, John H. Phillips, John S. Kennedy and Alfred P. Ansh-utz were placed in nomination for , Mayor. Edward Campbell, J r., and Alexander Hun ter were nominated for Controller. John D. Moreland was nominated for Trea surer by acclamation.

On motion of Mr. Barnett the nomination of Mr. M.'llwaine was declared unanimous Mr. McDwaine was now called upon to ad.- dress the Convention, which he did in Dried', but eloquent terms, expressing his heartf.+lt gratitude for the bonor bestowed upon him in his selection as the standard bearer of the Democracy, in a oonteet which bide fair to be so successful, and trusting that his gratitude alight be made apparent in the forcible language of his acts, if elected, concluding by Indalo ing hope that they might be creditable both him self and the party. - The name of Mr. Campbell, as a candidate for Controller, was withdrawn, and Mr .
