THE BALTIMORE CONVENTIONS.
The National Tyler Convention, which
assembled in Baltimore on the 9th ult. ,
did on The same day, unanimously nomi.
nate John Tyler as their candidate for the
once of President Of the United States
At last adyices, no nomination had been
made Of candidate for the Office of Vice
President.
In the National Democratic Conven.
ton, nothing Of importance has as yet
been done. II. B. Wright Of Penns, Iva.
MIA had been appointed Chairman pro.
tenn, and VIM. +. Richie of Virginia, Sec
ie!ary pro. TEN.
On the assembling Of The Convention
at IL o'clock on the 9Th uIt., after the
temporary appointment of officers, mo-
ton was made by Mr.. Saunders of N. c.
TO adopt the rules OF the Conventions OF
1882 and 1885, as rules for that now as.
sembcd. These rules, among other
things, require a majority Of two thirds
to make nomination by the Convention.
Mr.. Walker of Mississippi, had address
cd the Convention in faver Of the two
thirds rule, and Mr.. Butler of New York,
in opposition thereto. At latest dates The
discussion was still going on.
II seems TO be pretty well ascertained
that unless the two-thrds rule be rejected,
md the majority substituted, MIR, Van
Buren, will moi receive the nomination -
II seems TO he equally we'll ascettained
that if the majority rule be adopted, Mr..
Van Buren, will be the nominee. I'm.
der such circumstances, if Mr.. Van Blu.
rem is not nominated, we cannot perceive
how any one else can be. Mons perrons.
Since writing the above, Rumor has
proclaimed, almost in the same breath,
the nomination of each and every candi-
date, whose name has ever been before
the American people. At the present
moment, Martin seems to be in the ascen-
dant. Among other flying report, We
copy the following from the Vicksburg
Wing:
awe find that thele were seven ballot
tings for President and ne choice. The
result is as follows:
First Ballott-Van Buren, 166, Cass
SO, Johnson "a, Stewart !, Woodbury. 2,
Buchanan 4, Calhoun 6.
Cd BalIott-Van Buren, 1877, Cass "a,
Johnson 80, Woodbury. 8, Buchanan 9,
Calhoun /.
Third, fourth, fifth and sixth ballots a.
bout the same as The second, and on the
9Th Ballot Van Buren, 80, Cass 1913, Bu-
chanan %, Johnson 81, Calhoun /.
There were 266 votes cast on the bal
lot, 1T being necessary to a choice
Some member offered a resolution tina,
Mr.!Van Buren, be declared duly elected,
be having the highest number of votes on
the LIST Ballot, but the resolution was vo-
Ted down."
In addition 10 the above, we have the
following from tie New Orleans Bee:
IA despatch, says the Washington Stan
dard of the 2Sth, was received by the I
O'Clock cars yesterday morning, which sta
ted that at caucus held on Sunday night,
it was ascertained that Mr.. Van Buren,
wanted eight votes Of having a majority
Of the delegates. We have since had this |
confirmed, adds that paper, by several
sourees. "-The Printer.

the last session. Procure it! It is needless to go further than the Real Estate Bank itself. The idea that Bank record Is sacred while Tn the hands of all enemy, is preposterous. l never doubted it. The idea that you would publish all of any thing, not in your own favor, and yet In your own control, Is equally absurd
 few more remarks and 1 will shake hands, and part company with Messrs. New ton and Pike, to meet no more, unless further cause shall arise. These words address 10 the citizens of this county, Mr. Newton is candidate for the State Senate, to represent fulaskI county. It is usual for candidates to lay down their offices when they take the field. It should be done in this case The Bank is heavy load to carry. But perhaps the gentle persuasions and mystic influences of the Real Estate Bank can draw more votes than its odium will drive away. But still. Co efect the Secretary ofA Bank, its salaricd queer, one who has grown prosperous and fich upon 1t, to represent tue people of this county, and tegislate for Me Slate, when the Bank must be subject matter of legisla- tloh III some shape,-to have the Seream of tNe Bank participating, and de6uting, and 'cettdtng his Bank influence in the Senate, and at the same time receiving pay from the Bank, Is acroag-uterJy wrong. Will Mir. Newton lay down his Scceetarqship of the Bunk when he takes the field? No. Will ne do so when the election is over, if elected :? NO. Will he resign 1t when he takes his seat Tn the Senate of this State? No. he never will do 1t, unless 1t be after promise on the part of the assignees to replace him, at the adjournment of the legislature If an understanding such as this shall exist, he may resign, and of what avail will his resg- nation be where the people are concerned, since hls Bank interest will not only be the same, but even greater than before? These things time will solve, and we shall see. l now seriously ask of the people of this coun- " Ii It be ther intention to elect to the State Senate the Secretary of the Real Estate Bank :
 in conclusion, if all this be true, or any part of it, (and it has come to me as true and can be corrected, if untrue, by those in- terested) ought not Mr. Pike to be removed Will the assignees and stockholders all say not' And will MT. Newton, who in time. must necessarily become deeply interested Tn canyasslng this county and electioneering, and afterwards, if elected, be required to at tend to important public duties, be consd- cred, by the assignees, a suitable and proper ottcef of the assignment? Or if he miH run, does he not owe t to the assignees, iapozved as deepIey as lucy are to close the assignment successfully, that he should resign, and not subject them to loss, their business 10 neglect, and their regulations to unjust and tortluing suspicions9 PULASKI.

New Portable EHOrse HaiSl.

TYRE undersigned respectfully informs the farm A CTS and planters of the South and West. that he has invented new portable CREST MILL, well adapted to grinding corn and wheat, by animal pow err which he warrants to grind tastcr with the same power than any other kind of horse mill in use II is capable of grinding l2 bushels of good meal per hour; and, with good horses he will warrant it to grind from to bushels of excellent meal or -four in the same time.
 It IS deemed unnecessary to give description oi this mill as 1t Is presumed no one will purchase without first examining and judging of it's merts.-- Suffice to say it is driven by band; can be attach ed to any common gin-wheel; and. for cheapness simplicity, durability, and practical utility he war rants t superior to any other portable Grst Mill il use.
 He has one in operation, at his residence, mile. Southwest of Little Rock, and earnestly invites all who wish to purchase mill, to examine it before purchasing elsewhere. The price is from $75 te Sl25, according to size and quality.
 He also manufactures, To order, Straie Cqiiers Fdnntag Mills 7Hreshiag Machines Gins, Horse Poic. CTS, and all kinds of machinery on the most appfo ved plans, and of durable materials
 Orders addressed 10 him, at Little Rock, Arkan. sas, will meet with prompt attention.

make It more plain, when you accuse him of mlsstaiement and illiberality iii his editorials, to place another construction upon his arti- cle to prove that he meant something else altogether. As the editor in his last paper Jumped over everything relative to Mir. Pike's and Mr. Clay's speeches, in order to heap some slang upon "Brutus,n will he come out III his next paper and give us in clear and unambiguous manner his candid opinion of Mir. Pike's speecho Neither nor the people of Arkansas care any thing about Mir Clay's views, if he has any about political affairs and governmental matters, as he is an obscure man: but as Mir. Pike is man of some note, we should like to know his views on government and the best manner in which he thinks its affairs could be adminis- tered. Will the editor in his next paper state what kind of government Mir.

As this IS a triding controversy, should the editor see proper to notice this article, he will not elicit reply from me 1; not thatI would be coerced into silence, from the fear of encountering such a formidable antagonist as himself-not at all-for if felt disposed, as Hamlet said of the ghost,
