MOVEMENT OF oFTHE.DEMoCRAT1c PARTY.
We lay before the country the proceed
ings of the late Democratic Convention
at Baltimore. The speeches, of which
our Reporter gave hasty sketches have
been drawn out at length, and submitted
to the revision of the speakers. The ad-
dress, which was sanctioned by general
appreciation, when presentehby Governor
Hill, of New Hampshire, 10 The conven-
lion, has received from the committee of
revisal careful attention, in passing
through the press. 1t will he found, we
doubt not, to speak the sentiments of the
Democracy Of The whole Union, with Il
fidelity and fraukncss that will commend
it every lover ofIiberal institutions.
That il will find acceptance with the
Democracy every where, We have the
most gratifying proofs in the manifesto
tons of a great public meeting at Charles
ton, South Carolina, and of the Damocra-
tic members Of the Legislature oflhe State
OF New York. We have received the
papers put forth by both those bodies of
the distinguished men North and South,
simultaneously with that which emana-
ted from Baltimore; and nothing could
bear stronger testimony TO the honIogene-
Gus principle which binds together the
friends of State Rights and free govern
menl in the present struggle, than the re-
markablc coincidence in sentiment and
purpose, which charac,crizes the three ad-
mirable productions TO which we refer

GENrLEMEN.-You our letter of the 3ls
ult. addressed to General Harrison, has
been placed in our possession with a view
to early attention. This is unavoidable
in consequence Of the very numerous let
ters daily received by the General, and TO
which his reply in person is rendered abb
solutely mpracticable. As from his conf
denlial commiuee, you will look upon this
response, and if the policy observed by
the committee should not meet with your
appreciation you will attribute the error
rather 10 ourselves aud his immediate adj
visers, than General Harrison. That poll
cY is that the General make no further
declaration of his principles, for the public
eye, whilst occupying his present position.
Such course has been adopted not for pur-
poses Of concealment, nor 10 avoid any re-
sponsibility; buI under the impression that
the Generals views, in regard 10 all the
important and exacting questions of The
day, have heretofore been given to the
public fully and explicitly; aud that those
views, whether connected with constilu-
tional or other questions Of very general
interest, have undergone no change. The
committee are strengthened in regard to
the propriely of his policy; that no new is
sue be made to the public, from the con-
sideralion that the national convention
deemed it impolitic at the then crisis to
publish any general declaration of the
great opposition party, and certainly the
policy at the present remains unaltercd,
In the meantime, we cannot help express
sing the hope that our friends every where
will receive the nomination Of General
Harrison with something akin 10 generous
confidence. When VIC reilectupon the dis
lingui>lled intelligence of the nominating
convention how ably all interests were
represented in that body; we certainly have
4 high guarantee, that, should General
IIarrisonbe The successful candidate for the
Presidency, that office will he happily and
constiIuliunaIIy administered, and under
the guidance Of the same principles which
directed our Washington, Jefferson, and

rights She may posses 10 land north Of

10 pay her 100000, or about half mil
lion of dollars. Most sincerely do we re-
joice in this compromise,-not SO much
because il is, ris not, good bargain in
itself, rs because it removes bone of con-
lention which has long existed. and the
right 10 which each party has claimed with
so much confidence, that it was impossible
to say when or how the affair could be
amicably adjusted. Doubtless dispatches
have come forward blythe British Queen,
which will apprise our Government of the
precise posture OF the negotiation: but we
trust it will be found-not far different from
what is indicated above. In any view os
the case, all danger Of a war, growing
out of this protracied controversy, is at an
end. Had we Tory Administrations to
deal with, the case might be different"
