V. II. KALKMAs,
We cannot allow the present opportunity to pass
without performing pleasing duty towards the officers
and members of the Convention which has just dis
solved by expressing the great satisfaction winch they
have given TO the party generally over whose interests
they have carefully and faithfully watched during
the pas, year The Baltimore Democratic Convention
seliapponted body; but the members are chosen
by the Democrats of the different wards for the period
Of twelve months and the Convention is composed Of
individuals of varied and chequered socety-the law
yer, the physician, the mechanic the working man
indeed, every class and its voice may be safely taken
the true exponent Of The sentiments OF the sterling
Democracy of Baltimore. The last Convention, we
deem it but Of justice TO say, have perform.
ed their duties with industry, zeal and harmony,
highly commendabe; and the pleasing result is TO be
found in the very handsome manner in which the De-
mocatc party in this city trumphed at the last contest
over their persevering and ever active political oppo.
nents. The example they have set, is worthy 10 be
followed by those who may succeed them for the year
10 come and, if they but with the same spirit,
union and harmony they, too, may reasonably expect
to similar contamination. Our position enabled
US much of the deliberations of the late Conven
,ion and we felt perfectly with such patriotic
and enlightened "Committee Of Safety = for, while
there many and spirited debates, they were
but the offspring of devotedness to the cause; and the
only struggle among the members appeared TO De the
result OF difference of opinion to the best means OF
accomplishing the ends-thc triumphant success Of
