Speaking Of the action of the Baltimore
Convention, contemporary remarks -
The danger was in taking one who, hay-
ing been arrayed against other competit-
ors for the nomination, would be unable to
bring their friends to his support. But
that danger having been so admirably OBJ
waited, every Democrat rejoices in the re-
suit and finds in it the strongest assurances
of victory. Their first preference being
unattainable nothing could have been done
more to their satisfaction than the nomina-
ton Of James K Polk, for il removes ev-
cry cause of embarrassment, and brings
the Democratic party into the field as one
man.

Baltimore CoNvENTroN.-We have, at

BALTIMORE CoNvENTIoN.-We have, at
length, received tho result of the deliberations
Of this body. but want or room compels US to
be very brief in our notice of it. Upon the
first ballot, Martin Van Buren, received ma
jority Of the whole number Of votes given, and
should have been declared the nominee for
President, but by a resolution subsequently
adopted, a vote Of two.third was requisite to
ashoice. On all ballots thereafter, his vote
decreased, and that of Lewis Cass increased,
until it was thought he would be the choice
but not receiving vote of two-thirds after sew
eral ballotings, it was conceived to be unne.
cessary longer to try him. Mr.. Butler pro-
duced letter from Mr.. Van Buren,, which he
had kept secret even from his own colleagues,
directing him to withdraw his name If it dis
turbed unity in the Convention, which was
read, and upon the next ballot, JAMES X.
POLK of Tennessee received all the votes but
8 or 10, and was declared to be the nominee
of the Convention. Silas Wright, Of New
York received the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent, which was eclined, when choice was
made of Geo. M. Dallas, of Pa. Such re-
suit will be surprising to many, and mortify-
ing 10 others, but we see not why all should
mot acquiesce. The letter of Mr.. Van Buren,,
against the annexation of Texas, rendered his
success doubtful, and in discarding him, and
taking up more available candidate, the DEL
egates did what they conceived to be duty !;
and as they could learn more Of his prospects
than those who remain at home, we think no
one should complain Of their course. Both of
the candidates are men of brilliant talents, firm
in the support of Democratic principles. es-
teemed by their countrymen, and deserve the
cordial support Of the party. When we have
more room we shall be more minute on This
subject. "A.

SERIOUS R1oTs IN CANrDA-PRoBABLE
REVOLUTION IN THE BRITISH PROVINCE.
The New York Sun, of the 26th ult,
says: "We learn from the passengers
from the Gambia frontier, who arrived here
yesterday morning, that terrific scenes of
riot and disorder were being enacted last
week near the Lachine canal The facts,
as near as we can gather them, are, that
the Irish laborers, who were recently dis
charged for their interference in the Mon
treal election of member of Parliment,
assembled, in great numbers, on Wednes-
day or Thursday, and commenced the
work of destruction and bloodshed by
destroying the works, attacking the con-
tractors, and beating the overseers. The
military were called out, and marched to
the scene of carnage and bloodshed. AS
the companies approached the rioters,
symptoms of disaffec.ion were manifested
in the ranks, but consealed from the off,
GERS. The spirit of revolt gradually
spread among the army, and being drawn
up before the rioters, on receiving orders
to fire, the soldiers grounded their arms |!
declaring their unwillingness to fire. The
utmost CONSERVATION prevailed among her
Majesty's officers Of the higher grades !;
while the subordinates united with the
revolutionists, and ordered the temporary
seizure Of all who would not join in the
revolution.
"Such are the facts, as far as we have
been able 10 collect from gentlemen of re.
spectability who have just arrived from
the frontier. We confess, the story is
rather improbable. The arrival of the
Albany boat Of Sunday afternoon will de-
eide the matter.''

RAIN! RAM! RAlN!!!-At any season
Of the year, in Spring Summer, Autumn, and
Winter, we frequently hear persons say,
Well, such weather l NEVER DID see,'
while perhaps it was upon the extreme upon
no point; but we NEVER DID, and hope we new
er will again see such season as the pres
ens. Since the appearance Of Spring, we
have had copious rains almost every other day.
Indeed, we think we might speak the truth in
saying that for the last two months, rain has
fallen on more than half the number of days.
For the last forty-eight hours, we have had al
most an incessant fall Of rain, and now, while
we are writing, Friday morn.] the rain is
pouring down with a vengeance" and our
streets are as gushing brook. Great injury
has been done to our farmers, by the frequent
rains which prevented their planting corn, &C.,
keeping the ground too wet for the plough or
seed, SO that great fears are entertained of the
failure Of the crops. Should it be continued
much longer, we may look out for famine,
almost.
70 ONE O'clock, P. M.-Since the above
was put in type, the rain has fallen so as to
raise Pappoose creek..to an unusual height, car
rying away the bridge and culvert over that
stream, leaving gulf which cuts Of all COM
municasion, for the present, between upper
and lower town. The embankment on Water
street is much injured.
