BALTIMORE Cow vENTIoN. In to-day's
paper will be found the proceedings of
the National Republican Convention,
held at Baltimore last week. That bo-
dy was composed of some of the most
distinguished men in the country--and
all their proceedings affords the most sat .
istactory evidence of their being inhu-
enced by one spirit, and aiming at the
Accomplishment Of one object The no.
mination of Messrs. CLAY and SERGEANT,
will prove not only satisfactory, but high
ly gratifying to the whcle National Re-
publican party. We sincerely hope and
there are many strong reasons to induce
us to believe, that this nomination will f.
nally prove successful. If distinguished
talents-unsullied purity of character
and the most elevated patriotism, can in
these degenerate days, be put down as
any qualifications, or furnish to the pos
SCISSORS any claim to preiermeut, then,
indeed, have the National Republican
party every reason to believe, that the
two disting uished men nominated by the
Baltimore Convention, will be called by
the People to fill the places for which
they have been selected.
