PROCEEDINGS OF THE BALTIMORE DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION

At a meeting OF the " Baltimore Democratic Con.
vention" held at the Republican Reading Rooms the
following resolutions were offered and passed unani.
mously
Resolved That we feel great pleasure and pride in
the appointment of talented townsman, Hon
John Nelson, as Attorney General Of tie United
States, and that the Democracy Of Baltimore have
the most unbounded confidence in his political inle
gritty and in the soundness of his Democratic prio-
ciples.
Resoirtd That this Convention congratulate their
brother Democrats upon the rec ent glorious triumph
of their principles in Louisiana and that We see n
the result proof Of what may be accomplished in
our own State, as well every where else if we but
emulate the example Of sister State and setting
aside all minor considerations and extraneous sub.
jects, move body in the fall elections and that
hereby respectfully recommend our friends in the
different counties and cities TO bear in mind that tc
insure success, we must move wi union and harmo
N.Y. yielding all personal preferences or local iealou
sizes for the good Of the cause IN which we are en-
gagged
Rssoiped That IL is our first duty TO wrest our owr
State from msrule and then, when the time arrive.
TO enter into the Presidential contest we pledge ou
warm and cordial support to the nominee of the De
mocrstc National Convention, and that until such
nomination ~ made, will treat the preferences o.
political brethren With that courtesy and respect
which become members Of the same political family
Resotred, That the above proceedings be published
in the kepubcal and Argus and all the Democratic
papers IN the State, and that the Washington Glob,
be requested to copy the same.
The Baltimore Republican, from which We
clip the above, says
" The Baltimore Democratic Convention !, no self
appointed body; but the members chosen by tn,
Democrats Of the different Wards for the period nj
twelve months, and the Convention is composed o
individuals of varied and chequered societ. til,
lawyer, the physician, the mechanic the working
man-indeed, every class and its voice may be-
safely taken as the true exponent Of the sentiments
the sterling Democracy Of Baltimore"

n Efltho Is now addressing you IS an older
Democrat than YOURSELF; aud although he ha'
batllyd long and faithfully against Federalism
and Whiggsm, he may yet have something ~
learn. OF one lesson he stands ia need he au'
mits and it is, how long, in your creed is Tue
probation for converts In the remembrance
of he writer, many Instances OF sudden CON
version, and The immediate subsequent admIs-
sion into the party fold, have occurred, and the

or what is the same, 10 Democracy huu
II is from such that Mr.. TYLER is TO hear that
he cannot be held Democrat-that, let him do
what he may, and let his whole poll zeal lie be
reviewed, and LEI his future one be scanned as
ri idly as can be, yet never Is he To expect me
countenance Of these exclusive friends oil De-
mocracy.
Sir, Mr.. Tyler will not need their interest, as
he would not exalt himself in the opinion oil The
honest portion Of the party, were he 10 seek
their aid As good Democrat, at least, as
Mr. Van Buren,, with equal moral integrity, with
more capacity, with unreasonable c aims upon
the gratitude Of the mass o. the people, Tor his
noble stand against venallty and corruption,
which they can never iorget-he has won, and
he is daily winning, their confidence and their
hearts Men will ever admire the magnanin'i-
~ of The martyr, be he religious or political; ay,
and in their very hearts core will they reyer-
ence and love him Never viii they forget his
sacrifices; and they who would attempt TO wea-
ken he remembrance o! his glory, will ever re-
ceive the execraiions of world. which, bad as
It is, can yet sympathise with virtue, and most
when most oppressed.
But enough for this epislle. In those which
are to follow, | will more minuteIy consider
your censurable course; and, as an old birth
right Democrat, point out its injurious tendency

THE USE OF FLOWERS.
~ MARY HowIrr.

God might have made the earth bring forth,
Enough for great and small.
The oak-tree and the cedar-tree,
Without flower al all.
He might have made enough, enough
For every want of ours,
For luxury, medicine, and toll,
And yel have made DO flowers.
The ore within the mountain mine
Requlreth none 10 grow
Nor does il need the lotus flowers
TO make the rivers How.
The clouds might give abundant rain,
The nightly dews might fall,
And the herb that keep,ih life IN man,
Might yet have drunk ten all.
Then wherefore, wherefore were they made
All dyed with rainbow light;
All fashioned with supremest grace,
Up springing day and night
Springing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness,
Where no one passes Dyf
Our outward life requires them not,
Then wherefore had they blrth'
To minister delight 10 man
To beauiily the earth
To comfort map--to WHISPER hope
Whene'er his face is dim:
For who SO careth for the flowers,
VIII care much more for him

MR.. VAN BuRtN-THE GLOBE-THE RICH

The Globe and Richmond Enquirer are out
in full blast for Mr.. Van Buren,, to the exclusion
of all other Democratic candidates. The En-.

Ohio, but says nothing Of the meeting in favor
Of Mr.. Cas-, nor Of The invitation to President
Tyler to visit that very county, in which Gin.

Enquirer miis the following extract from an id

HONORS ARE EASY.

The Globe lately said, Speaking of the U. s
political principles or the morals of this country
as this MONSTER"
And in answer to our allegation, that the De-
mocracy were grateful 10 President Tyler, for
having, by the exercise Of the Veto power,
strapgled Mr. Cidy's new monster at its bIth,
the Globe tells US that it, "the country,
is as much indebted TO Mr.. Clay for defeating
Mr.. Tyer's scheme, as it is TO the latter for the
overthrow of his antagonists" This is a new
way of robbing man of his due. According
to the Globe, the country i, under obligation Of
the highest kind TO both Messrs. Clay and Ty
Ter, and yet Mr.. Tyler is TO have no credit Tor
his act, unless he divides the honor with Mr..
b airs relation by marriage" According TO
drowning at different periods, the two must d.
vide the public appreciation, and perhaps may
deserve the curses rather than The benedictons
Of The public, because some dare 10 question the
nlotire Of one or both of the drowning mans
deiverers. If the niotirc was bad, the man
should have been allowed to drown
This reasoning may suit the Globe, but we
insist that if the Globe speaks truly as TO the
character of the monster strangled by Mr.. Ty-
Ter, the President deserves, and will receive,
the thanks of the country, and of the Demo
cratic party, for its death. Ii 10 be rid Of the
monster be blessing, we cannot but respect the
hand that smote IT,

to deprive us Of al hope OF their aid In support Of
Mr.. Van Buren,"
The Globe complains that incessant efforts
are made To thrust Mr.. Van Buren, aside, and
disquafy him for re election. We have agan'
aud again warned The GLIDE Of he sure effect OF
It's course in disqualfying others ; aud although
for the moment its batteries are silent IN feie-

friends. No man, whose friends have thouSh'
him worthy of being candidate, wiii deser'
him now that the Globe and The Richmond I'm
quirer advocate the exclusive claims oil Mr.
Van Buren,.
The Democratic party will not consent to be
lied up 10 a single man before Convention
shall have passed upon his claims; The party
has been once defeated wlih Mr.. Van Buren,,
and there are many thousands OF prominent De

ing friendly TO Mr.. Van Buren,; this we do moi
believe, and shall take occasion ere long TO dis
prove it. Il is because we verify believe that the
Globe anil Enquirer overrate the strength OF
Mr. Van Buren,, that our fears for The success Of
the party inc ease, in proper time TO the eXclu-
siyeness with which that genlleman's claims
are pressed. Throw open the doors OF the Con
venlion, and, in the meantime, discuss fairly
and temperately the merits of all the candl-
dates. Ii a contrary course shall be persisted
in, there can be no harmony in the Convention,
hut it will so result as to induce desire to return
