XATIOXAL convention.
The Democratic National Convention assem
bled at Baltimore upon Tuesday the 1st inst.,
and continued in session until Saturday last,
w.hn on the 40th ballot Franklin Pierce of
New Hampshire was nominated for President,
nd Wm. R. Kixa of Alabama for Vice President.
We have only room this week for a brief no
tice of the proceeding?.
The temporary organization was effected by
the selection of Hon. RoMrxrs Sauhders, of
North Carolina, as Chairman, and on the perma
nent organization Hon. J. W. Davis, of Indiana,
wta chosen President, with Vice President
from each State.
All the States were represented except South
Carolina, Gen. Commander was present, as
usual, delegated by some tfty persons, but tfe
Convention refused to consider them the State
cf South Carolina.
The two-third rule was adopted by a very
decisive vote, early in the iession ; and after
ome time spent in endeavoring to accommodate
the hosts of delegates wnt by Virginia and
ome other States, the Convention proceeded to
ballot for a candidate for President.
During forty-eight unsuccessful ballots Cass.
Buchanan, Douglas, and Marcy were alternate
ly in the ascendant. Gen. Cass' highest vote
wmonthe Coth ballot, when he received 131
votes. Bucbannn's highest was on the 22d and
23d when he received 10 i votes. Judge Doug
las reached 92 votes upon the SOth and 31st
ballot, and Gov. Marcy 08 votet upon the 46th
ballot.
Upon th 40th ballot th vote stood
Tiorce
Douglas
Butler

It therefore appeared that Gen.

Franklin
Tierce, of New namshire, was nominated as the
Democratic candidate for President of the Uni
ted States, by a vote nearly unanimous.
During the ballot an intense excitement pre
vailed, ar.d ns State after State changed its vote,
the shouts from the gallery and from the mem
bcrswere deafening.
As soon as the nomination was known outside
of the door, a national palute was fired in front
of the Hall."
The Convention then procecdad to ballot for a
candidate for the Vice Presidency, and the first
ballot resulted as follows :
Wm. B.King, of Ala. 12f
W m.O. Butler of Ky., 27
Strange, of N. ('. 23
Downs, of La., 30
rillow, of Tenn., 25
Atchinson of Mo. 25
Davis, of Ind., 2
Cobb, of Ga., 2
Weller, of Ohio, 28
The Convention then proceeded to a second
ballot, when William R. King, of Alabama, was
nominated.
King, 277 Davis, Miss., 4
On motion, the nomination for President and
Vice President were unanimously concurred in.
Mr. Brown, of Tennessee, Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, submitted a platform
the same in substance as the old platform, with
the addition of endorsing the Compromise at
great length. It was adopted almost unani
mously by the Convention, under the operation
of the previous question.
The Convention then, after appointing a Com
mittee to inform the candidates of their nomi
nation, and a Democratic National Committee,
consisting of one from each State, adjourned
fine die, with nine hearty cheer9 for the cause
and its candidates.
The Convention closed its" labors amid much
enthusiasm and good feeling.
jfcST In Louisville, Ky., on the 31st ult., as
Teter Zanone was pnssing down Market street,
between Fourth and Fifth streets, he suddenly
fell down in a fit, and immediately expired. He
was not in pood health. He had just been up
to the auction store of C. C. Greene & Co., op
posite our cfiice, and there received from Mr. G.
a sum of money fur gooda sold. He remarked
that he had paid oil his debts owed nothing
and knew of no better time to die. In a few
minutes after, as he parsed down the street, he

Ratlflcatlou Meeting.
The nominations of Pierce and King are al
ready responded to with enthusiasm by the De
mocracy in all parts ot tne country. A very
large meeting of the Democrats of Philadelphia
city and county, was held in that city on Mon
day evening last, at which the Hon. Geokge M
Dallas presided assisted by a large number of
Vice Presidents, and Secretaries. The proceed
ings were quite enthusiastic, and epeeches were
made by Gen. Nicholson, Col. Pavaast and Gen
Pillow of Tennessee, C. C. Burr Esq. of New
York. Col. Gardiner of Georgia, Col. Sherrerd
of Indiana, and Mr. Carpenter of Kentucky.
At a late hour the meeting closed with nine
hcartv cheers for the Democratic nominees. The
following are the remarks of Mr. Dallas upon
openining the meeting:
"We have assembled, fellow citizens, to express
our cordial assent to the nominations made by
the Democratic National Convention, on Satur
day last, of Franklin Tierce, as the candidate of
our great party for the office of Tresident, and
of William R. King, for the office of Vice Presi
dent, of the United States.
These nominations are preparatory to the e-
lection in November next, and having been an
nounced as the result of all the customary mea
sures of representative consultation, are enti
tled to, and will receive the approbation and
support of the United Democracy of America.
It becomes each and all of us to resolve to give
them, against every possible effort of political
opposition, that, ardent, energetic and unani
mous support which can alone attest an unsha
ken attachment to our principles, and alone
guarantee the freedom, interests, and honor of
our country.
Franklin Tierce, fellow citizens, is of that no
ble State, of whose firm and enlightened Repub
licanism we have had, for a long succession of
years, the most signal proofs ; he is of that State
which at the constitutional birth of our Govern
ment, furnished to the Democratic phalanx the
illustrious John Langdon ; which furnished to
the council of Andrew Jackson, and to the na
tional judiciary the upright, consistent and able
Woodbury ; and which furnished to the Senate
of the United States, as wtll as to the freedom
and vigilence of the Democratic Tress, the saga
cious, incorruptible and indefatigable Hill.
New Hampshire esteems and proclaims hiia
her most distinguished and meritorious citizen.
She ha9 often honored him by reposing in his
faithful hands her highest trusts. She sent him
arly to her own halls of legislation, and thence
transferred him, from 1837 to 1842, to the Fed
eral Senate; and 6he gave him to his country,
as a volunteering, gallant and accomplished sol
dier, to fight her battles on the fields of Mexico.
In every sphere of action, as a practical and
profound jurist, 83 a legislator, as a military
commander, and in all the relations which a cit
izen bears to his country and his countrymen,
his ability, worth and services have placed him
among the foremost, the truest and the best.
And when I tell you that, in addition to these
unquestionable merits, he has long stood, and
now stands in the midst of our Eastern breth
ren, a tower of strength, upholding unfaltering
ly the cause of Democracy, the Union, the Cons
titution, and the Laws, I feel assured that you
will eagerly accept his nomination and enthusi
astically uphold it.
Indulge me with a remark or two more, and
I will then summon you to more agreeable busi
ness. I have heard it intimated, today, for
the first time, that Franklin Fierce had, hereto
fore, while the Constitution of New Hampshire
was in proceps of amendment, joined in defend
ing and retaining the proscriptive feature it con
tained against Reman Catholics. Now, gentle
men, this is a weak invention of an already frigh
tened enemy it deserves to be nailed at once to
the counter, aa spurious and base and I hope,
by a simple statement, to crush it at once and
forever:
It is true that the Constitution of New Hamp
shire was disgraced ly an intolerant and intol
erably odious provision, commonly called "The
Catholi Test," which rendered Catholics ineligi
ble to the Legislature and to the office of Gover
nor. But it is equally true that the most stren
uous exertions were repeatedly made by the
Democracy, perseveringly led on by two of her
brightest stars, Levi Woodbury and Franklin
Tierce, to expunge an exception to common
right, so utterly inconsistent with the creed and
character of sound republicanism. Twice did
these just and generous champions of civil and
religious liberty succeed in obtaining from a
Convention, called at their instance and for that
very purpose, the abolition of this "test," and
twice, (as the Constitution permitted no change
of its provisions, unless sanctioned by tuo-thirds
of the votes of the people.) were they defeated
by the opposition of combined Whigs and Aboli
tionists at tbe polls.
Fellow-citizens, the hopes of our country, her
actual peace and wonderful prosperity, and her
future destinies, with all her past accumulation
of renown, are staked upon the contest on which
you arc entering. Let us manfully rally to her
rescue."
Governor Martin of New Hampshire.
Governor Martin, of New Hampshire, in his
mosvige delivered on Thursday, epeaka thus of
Kossuth and intervention:
"The press, the halls of Legislation, Munici
palities, the people, have issued forth one ocean
tide of sympathy for his cause and country
and our federal government should give her
high, and republican, and fearless sanction of
the principles ot non-intervention, in tne domes
tic concerns of nations. ,
"The despots of Europe expect ns, the only
representatives of a free government, to favor
freedom everywhere, and why should they not
expect by every means, moral and national, to
favor the non-intervention principles of the law
of nations, also ? They do; and if wo shrink
from the duty as circumstances indicate, we
shall only degrade ourselves in their estimation,
and encourage their despotic sway until all Eu
rope, and our own beloved country may feel the
crash and ruin of constitutional freedom, and
see the obliteration of onr own cherished and
liberal institutions."
The message refers to the Compromise, and
Fugitive Slave Law, approvingly.
From the Keystone,
Members of the Legislature.
The Democratic papers of the State are very
generally urging upon the party the great im
portance of electing men of enlarged capacity
and integrity to the Legislature. The subject
is one well worthy the serious attention of the
people. Their rights and their interests ore
deeply involved in the issue. "What are legisla
tors elected for except to protect these ? Ccr
tainly for no other purpose. Can incompetent
legislators attain this object? The counties of
the State which have uniformly elected men of
capacity and integrity to the Legislature have
in every cace profited largely, while those which
have sent the incompetent and corrupt are com
pelled in the same proportion to bear an extra
share of the burden. It is, indeed, high time
for the people to look to their interest in this
regard. Vast schemes of internal improve
ments, through private incorporations, so cun
ningly devised that their character cannot be
detected, except by men of good capacity, gen
eral intelligence, and habits of business, have of
late been, and will continue to be pressed upon
the Legislature schemes designed, and which
will have the effect to destroy the state improve
ments as a source of revenue. Some of these
have already crept through the Legislature by
stealth, and more of them would now bo laws
except for the interposition of the Executive veto
that great prescrvator of the people's rights.
The people have seen Bank charters and incor
poration acts of various hue crowded through
the Legiblature by the gross, through the in
competency and dishonesty cf their legislators,
while their true interests were neglected ; and
they have also seen Banks coming boldly to the
legislature and demanding to be relieved from
the same taxation with which the people arc
burthened, and they have seen this unwarrant
able demand sustained by majorities in both hou
ses, i ne people yearly see bills passed which
rob their treasury of the onerous taxes wrung
from themselves, and public money bestowed
upon objects and persons who have never rend
ered value for it. The yearly see private prop
erty legislated out of one persons hands into
those of another, the legitimate business of our
Courts transferred (often stealthily) to the Leg
islature, divorces granted which outrage every
sense of morality and justice they see their
representatives surrounded and besieged by
hordes of borers, (professional, hired vanipyres,
who sell their services to the highest bidder, for
any purpose however infamous,) they see mon
ey freely used to obtain the passage of most un
warrantable measures, varying in character and
enormity to almost every extreme (but hold,
we have no wish to continue a chapter so morti
fying to the pride and honor of our great, noble,
honored old Commonwealth!)
All these things and much more have been
witnessed by our people. There i3 a plain, sim
ple, certain remedy for these evils that reme
dy will suggest itself to every reflecting man it
is tO ELECT NOSE HI T HONEST AND COMTETENT
kkx to the Legulati rk. The disease is appa
rent, the cure is no le3 so.
In contests before the Legislature between the
State and corporations or individuals, in refer
ence to projects by which the-former is to be'
fleeced and the two latter well feathered, we hear
the remark a thousand times made that "the
State has no friends !" Though not literally true,
there is even more than a deep shade of truth in
the remark. While those who have projects or
claims to press upon the Legislature which are
adverse to the interests of the state, are always
represented outside by men of decided capacity
and skill, the State inside has but few men who
really thoroughly understand her interests, her
duty cr her obligations. The intelligent are
sure to triumph over the ignorant, and hence j
the saying "the State has no friends." Do not
the people, see a strong necessity for applying a
remedy in this regard ?
But there is something- more than capacity
needed honesty, too, should be well looked to. I
And above all let men who, (whether ignorantly
or dishonestly,) have given improper votes be
defeated in their re-election in re-nominations
(that's the point) and much evil will be cured.
The renomination of one such, encourages a do
zen others to do likewise. Upon this point the
editor of the Carlisle Volunteer, well says :
"It is no difficult matter for the experienced
and adroit "borer" to ascertain who can be se
duced from duty by the power of the almighty
dollar, and the convincing argument is accord
ingly used. Thus do we witness, every winter,
the passage of bills that shock the moral sense
of the people from one end of the State to the
other. And yet, strange as it may appear, the
very members who voted for these bills, and
who were aid for doing so, are often sustained
by their constituents, and are again returned to
the Legislature, to contaminate and corrupt it.
This but emboldens a corrupt member, and in
duces him to plunge deeper and deeper into in
famy and villainy. It is rewarding dishonesty,
and honoring a rascal, whoso proper place would
be the Tenitentiary.
A we intend to keep this subject "before the
people," we conclude this article with another
extract from the Volunteer which we also fully
endorse :
We trust, for the honor of our state, that our
Legislature may henceforth be composed of wise
and honest men. The best men in the State are
not too good for members of Assembly, and it is
time the people of the different counties should
turn their attention to this subject. Let our
Legislature be composed of incorruptible men,
and then will the business of those vultures, the
professional borers, be at an end.

Wonderful, Discovert. The Fairmount (Va)
True Virginian says :
" We are informed by Col. Haymondend oth

road has been discovered on the opposite side
of the river from this place. We have not seen
it ourselvs, bnt learn that it extends pretty much
along the bank of the river. Its width is about
16 feet, and the track weel graded. The bed of
stone seems to be about two inches thick, and
made precisely after the plan of our Macadami
zed roads, the etono being broken to about the
same 6ize of that used for our roads. The dis
covery was made by the washing away of a hill
side which partially covered the road. When,
and by what race of people this road was made,
is unknown at the present day, but it gives evi
dence of the existence of a population here at
some former age of the world, as far advanced
in civilization, or at least in the art of road-making,
as the stump of a chesnut tree, which was
ascertained to be 150 years old at the least, and
how much older, our informant could not tell,
as the stump was hollow. Here is food for tho't.

did they -nake it and what has become of them?

Anthracite for Steam TrRrosES. A newj
era appears to be evidently dawning upon the j
great Anthracite Coal Trade of this country,
says the Tottsville Press. The Engincer-in-chief
of the Navy Department, in which he recom
mends the use of Anthracite Coal for naval stea
mers fitted with iron boilers, as being more e
conomical, and entirely free from emoke and ac
cident by spontaneous combustion. His conclu
sions are founded upon actual experiments in
our war steamers; and he intends, with the per
mission of the Department, to continue these ex
periments, to see whether Anthracite may not
be used advantageously under copper boilers,
bituminous coal being generally considered less
injurious to such boilers, and therefore used in
the service in preference. He further recom
mends to the Bureau of Yards and Docks the
use of Anthracite in the several navy-yards, and
especially for the engino of the Dry-Dock at the
New York Navy Yard.
This recommendation is certainly of great im
portance to the interests of Tennsylvania, and
yet it does not stand ulone, for experiments are
now being made upon the Railroad between
PoUsviilc and Thiladelohia, to test the practica
bility of eubstituting Anthracite Coal for Wood
in the Locomotives. The trial in several en
gines already constructed for that purpose, has
been highly satisfactory, and it is the opinion
of many sound practical men whose attention
has been turned to the subject, that in a com
paratively short time, Coal will be exclusively
used, not only on our railroads, but in the ocean
and river Steamers generally. This realized,
and the Anthracite Coal Trade of Tennsylvania,
will be almost beyond computation.

A Touching Incident.
The Louisville Democrat relates the following
touching incident :
"An aged mother a woman of seventy years
of age left her home in the Emerald Isle some
ten weeks ago, to seek the abode of her chil
dren, who are now resident at Louisville. Af
ter a tedious passage, and the trouble incident
to a long journey, she reached this city from
New Orleans, last Monday night, on board of
the Alexander Scott, and soon she was surroun
ded by her children. Her son was the first to
see her, and he hastened to inform his 6istcr of
their mother's arrival. They met the mother
and daughter in one long embrace, which only
ended as the infirm mother sank with excite
ment to the floor. She had swooned away in
the rapturous enjoyment of beholding, once
more, a daughter so long lost. She pronounced
a blessing upon her children, and fainted away.
Whenever restored to consciousness, the sight of
her children, and the pleasing recollection of
their presence, would overcome her with emo
tions, and again and again she would faint in
their arms. Thysicians were called to aid, but
could afford her no relief. For two daya she
continued ia this condition, until worn out by
fatigue and excitement, exhausted nature gave
way, and the mother now 'sleeps well in, the
new green earth of her new made home. How
6trange, how sorrowful, and how touching are
the incidents of life."
