PITTSBURGH:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. 17, 1.664
Democratic, County Conventi on.
The. Democratic Convention, called
for to-day, will assemble this forenoon, a
the Court House, at 10 o'clock.
NOT ALL ONE WAY
Notwithstanding the preconcerted ef
forts of a few Union Leagues, to impress
the country with the belief that their re
nomination of President LiNcoi.N . was a
popular uprising of the people in his
favor, it already appears that he will
have a determined opposition to en
counter. On Saturday last primary meet
ings were held, in the city of Baltimore
to elect delegates to a State convention;
the contest was between the followers
of HENRY WINTER DAVIS, and the adhe
rents of Postmaster General BLAIR DA.
VIS, who is Ralli(111 all 0111, carried
seventeen of the twenty wardq of which
the city is coin inNed. The defeated tick
et was headed "ABRAHAM LiNcoms and
THOMAS SWANK," 1 ut the magic name
of the honest rail-splitter, whose
nomination, say his office-hollers, is de
manded by the exigencies of the win
try, was not potent enough, in a city, in
which "shoddy'' abounds, to save the
Leagues from overwhelming defeat.
The union Leagues, which were estab
lished especially for the benefit of the
fat and rotund individuals, who are
basking in the sunshine of enormous
contracts, will have to look sharp to the
bolting multitude. Here we have, in
the primary proceedings of the Baltimo-
Hans alluded to, an exhibition of disloy
alty altogether alarming to office-holding
patriots. They are not only not in favor
of. continuing the present dynasty in
power, but they have the temerity to ~ a y
so, and that, too, in very emphatic terms.
Even the fond remembrance of old ABE
slipping through the monumental city,
disguised in a Scotch cap and enormous
whiskers, on his way to Washington to
issue "bulls against the comet," did not
save his delegates from being terribly
beaten. This does not look like a de
mand for his re-election. The city of
Baltimore, which controls the State of
Maryl,and—a State, by the way, entirely
under the control of military authority—
refusing to endorse Mr. Liiccoric, is
strongly indicative of his being discard
ed by his party. If the balance of the
Border States act as Maryland is likely
to do, old Ann's "one-tenth" dodge
will not save him from being defeated.
He may as well, therefore, begin to con
template the rural felicity of Springfield
(Illinois) society. The change will go
hard for a while, hut he ran console
himself with the reflection that, - sweet
are the uses of adversity—"
By the way, we see an ominous poster
upon our corners, the sight of which
makes the peculiar followers of the Ad
ministration tremble and look pale. It
is a square sheet, having printed
thereon, in large letters "Fremont's the
man!" the mere repetition of which
strikes more terror to the souls of our
present oftiee-holders, than could the an
nouncement of an incursion into our
peightiorhood by the rebel army. To
'beat LENCOLN with FREMONT 'Would be
but in accordance with the fitness of
things. . The path-finder lead oti in
emancipation proclamations, for which he
was removed from the command of the
Western department. LINcof.N has,
since, not only stolen FREMONT'S thun
der, but he is, upon the strength of it,
claittptiz four years more of Presidential
power, and all his office-holders, from
SEWARD down, swear that he must have
it, To .beat him with FREMONT would
be judicinus punishment ohl ARE would
then feel what it was to be uptripped by
a pathfinder who always lost his way:
a heroic General who never won a
battle, and a millionaire who is
not wprth ,"a continental red." To
beat fitsinetiN tWitb such an individual
would be but legitimate. He is fond of
jokes, and is said to enjoy them, even at
his own expense. Electing him to pre
side over a country like this, was funny
enough ; but the humor of it has been
entirely too convulsive. The people have
tired of laughing, and have been for some
time grieving; let us see that we have no
repetitions of such blundering jokes here
after. The New York Spirit of the 7 .
a paper of intense abolitionism, is not en
tirely satisfied with Asn's humor, as trill
be seen by the following observations—
itsays
"The country is all right in tone. It tat. been
willing to laugh at Mr. L 1 2 , , jokr.
season ; but now that the true strain of our in
stitutions is approaching, it requires courage
and decorum In the chair of state.
"For our part, we believe the people will, In
this matter, meet with the relief they wish. W e
can conceive how a popular tumult may, in his
first emotions, upheave some jocose clod:pule to
the apex, but we cannot conceive how, in the
face of dripping guillotines and a rocking empire,
Jack Busts ky could be elected to preside over a
period like that of the old French Revolution for
a second term !"

POLITICAL PREACHING
the Editor of the Pittabureth
it . HE ODOTCE PARREI3.7.
Let us have plenty of rousing War
SerinonA," said a Certain kind hearted,
hot irrepressible layman, who, not sati
sled with the rant and fustian of politi
cal meetings, would pervert elturehes
into the head-quarters of Ward Clubs,
and suspend, during war, not only civil
laws, but mire and simple religious ob
servances.
It is not enough for such energetic
gentlemen, that their pastors pray de
voutly and sincerely for 'the President
and "all others in authority," and for
our gallant armies in the field. It is not
enough that a minister disapproves of
doctrines which his hearers say arc dis
tasteful to them. It is not enough that
he does all in his power to promote, in
his prover vocation, the cause of his
country and the physical and spiritual
health of the soldier. All this is nothing ,
if hr does not preach “plenty of rousing
War Sermons " It ni ay he possible that
having "invitetl 0 pposition to thensefal
ness" of Priests and liiithops in Inchr
sacred calling, and having, peradventure,
little need for go , i)01 teaching, some folks
can enjoy nothing but political, or '• rods
inn War Sin n-ons."
There are two principal lases
of de
claimers who e ,cel in this sort of preach,
inc. and it would he well if our clergy
in these troubled times would avoid the
pernicious wimple of both. The first
class is formed of political brawlers who
have turned preachers. Of those, we
have had in this city, some prominent
examples—as JOSEPII BARN ED and Hu6n
KIRKLAND. They were militant preach
er.; certainly, and could tire off war-like
exhortations which rattled like a volley
of musketry, even in a time of the pro
foundest peace. If they were alive to
day, I venture to say that there is not a
clergyman in this city who could regal ,
our morbid-minded friends with War
Sermons — ball so rousing — as their's
would be. The sei'ond, and by far the
more dangerous class, comprises the
preachers who have turned politicians to
the utter neglect and generally to the
disgrace oltheir holy calling. The names
of many of this sort will oef or to every
reader, hut to the Rev. TnEononE. PAR

A life of Mr. PARSER has recently
appeared, which should be put into the
hands of (very minister who is pressed
or disposed to preach polities. Assured
ly the perusal of the work should •• give
them pause. if they can be reached at
all. THEODORE PARKER Was an elo
quent, talented preacher, possessed of
Inofound and vatied learning. His li
brary, in which he took great pride, was
one of the finest to Boston, which con
tains many fine libraries. He was
among the first, it+ he was certainly the
ablest and the most unwearied, of the
clerical agitators who preached un
conditional Abolition sermons, and
hut little else. Ile labored to pro
duce, he predicted and expected
the civil war wo are now engaged
in as far back as 18:13., and perhaps be
fore that time, and he invested his own
and his wife's property with reference to
its speedy occurrence. All these things
are set forth in the life of Mr PARKER.
As I do not write in a part isan spirit, I
shall not dwell on the fact which this
book diseloses, that Mr. PARKER was all
his life the •• guide, philosopher and
friend" of Mr, C11.4,5E, Mr. SUMNER,
and other leading men of the ruling
party. I am not making a plea for
Democracy, hut an argument against po
lit'cal pt caching—andwith all due de
ference, I would say to divines who are
disposed to undertake that employment,
that even if they follow exactly the foot
steps of Mr. PARKER as closely as they
can, they never can achieve equal dis
tinction with hint.
But are they tt illing to take such a
man for an examplar Is there no fear
that they may fall into his infidel notions
while thev hug so closely his political
theories •• Mr. PARKER is a full brother

of judgment upon these questions, eons idering !
first the purely local business of the section now

Pittsburgh and Cohnellsville yielded a gross rev
enue, excluding the branch to Union - own, of
4.319.565 in 1862, and of $199,6 In 196,a; showing
an increase of $80,261 In 1863, nr per cent.
The trot three months of the present oftieial

crease over the corresponding months of i,4,4

first-chits engines have recently been placed On
the road, the demands of the trade are be oud
i the Company's means of supplying them. if the
present rate of increase continue through the
y ear, the revenue will considerably exceed 8:100,-

a temporary character and uncertain future ope
