made speech of upwards of an hours duration
II was good speech, but not OF his happiest
efforts. He did not introduce any new topics, but
still the speech is worthy of attentive perusal and Is
important as the opening gun in the great campaign
of ls44.
The proceedings did not terminate until shortly
before the departure OF the evening train, which
did not reach this city till quarter to two o'clock
thismorning. We were thus prevented from getting
out our report before our immense edition went to
press, but the speech entire, reported with the
cnstomed funess aud accuracy OF our unequalled
"corps," will be issued this morning in an EXTRA
HERALD, in advance of our contemporaries.
The Democratic Convention In baltimore.
The most intense interest was created in tins
city yesterday, on the arrival OF the train from PHI
ladephla, to ascertain the result of the democra-
tic convention holding in Baltimore since Monday.

tails, which consist principally OF baongs, receiv-
ed here yesterday afternoon, together with what
fulther may have taken place, by way of Post
script.
OF the result, after the departure of the train on
Tuesday evening, we know not at this present
writing, but according to all appearances, the fate
of Mr. Van Buren, was sealed. The chances were
in favor of General Cas-, butt was just possible
that general breaking up would take place as not
We refer our readers to the Postscript for the la
test particulars.
In the meantime, the democracy of this metro
polls are called together thus afiernooD TO ratify
the proceedings OF the convention, whatever they
may be, either nomination, or a general row
and general scattering. Here is their buetin.--

Then Democrscy's banner In triumph shall wave.
