THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

In our last we give the proceedings of
the first day of the Democratic National
Convention, which met in Baltimore on
the eth inst. We will now condense
into as narrow space rs possible the
proceedings up TO the time of adjourn
ment.
Or Tuesday morning the Convention
met pursuant to adjournment. The ques-
ton Of adopting rules for the government
OF the Convention came up and was dis
cussed for considerable length of time.
The rule requiring two-thirds of the votes
Of the delegates to make nomination,
was the principal subject of disagree
ment. 1t was well known by the per-
sonal friends Of MIR. Van Buren, that he
could not receive two-thirds of the num-
Der present, and that if they could de-
feat that rule. Ire would get MAORI
| ty OF the votes; and it was equally
known by them, that if they succeeded
N defeating the rule, and by that means
securing Mr.. v. BIS. nomination, that he
could not command the vote of the South
err States. Their hands were tied
down by instructions, hence they sup
ported him throughout all the FIST seven
Dailottmgs. Gen. Cass's friends were
equally tenacious in their support of his
eia'ms upon the party. 1t is not sur.
pf's'ng, IN this state of things, that their
respective friends. after several unsuc-
eessIul ballottings, should move 10 re-
emu the rule requiring wo-thirds to
make nomination. After much debate,
the motion retaining that rule was car
FRED. The vote stood, for the rule. 14s:

After the several States of the Union
had cast their votes on the second ballot
the delegations from new Hampshire,
Massachusetts,, Vermont, ard Maine.
having voted against Mr.. Dallas. asked
and obtained leave to change their votes.
The Hon. George NJ. Dallas, OF Penn
sylvania, was then, by resolution, de-
clared unanimously nominated.
Mr.. Walker moved the appointment
Of a central committee ofsixteen; which
