~, followed Mr.. Johnston, in brief, anus
ings - piquant speech. Mr.. H. j. :
rssl speaker; md possessing an mex
hauatible fund Of snecdcte, i ever ready to
illustrsie hiS positions with something apt,
yet ludicrous. On the present occasion
he made some excellent hits Of this kind
'atthe wings, to the great amusement Of all
who heard him. His remarks were cut
short by the lateness Of the hour, and his
desire to return that evening 10 his home
ut Mount Pleasant. ~
The last speech delivered was by SHsr-
HERD LEsrLER, Esq. Of our own county;
and that It was earnest, strong, eloquent
and sensible, no assurance is needed in this
community, where that gentleman is so
well knswn, and his worth and talents are
% highly appreciated. Mr.. Letters re-
marks were directed principally to home
affairs, and on that account were the more
interesting and acceptable. He alluded to
the system Of tactics adopted by the wings
to obtain the control Of the convention and
Legislature, portrayed in strong colors the
evils which would ensue from such re-
suit, and forcibly enjoined upon the de-
mocracy the necessity Of perfect and
thorough organization in order to maintain
the ascendancy. He then took up the Du-
buque Dnk, gave a full and minute detail
Of all the proceedings of the Legislature
in reference to that institution, alluded
to the efforts made last winter to resusci-
tate it, and descanted upon the impropriety
Of allowing It further favor. (This por-
tlon Of his speech was loudly cheered. J
Mr.. L. made some further remarks, which
we did not hear, in relation to United
Sites Bank. The near approach Of night
compelled him to stop before he had got
more than half through. It was about six
o'clock when he concluded.
In this meeting, We repeat, the democ-
racy Of Des Moines have glorious pre-
sage Of victory. All they have now to do
is to follow it up; and that this will be
done who can doubt? Let them turn out
at the township meetings in as great num-
bers as possible, and then at the election in
August an aaasse, and all will he well.

baltimore Convention.

The late democratic national conv ention,
notM outstanding the total absence of all ef-
fort to make an imposing array Of strength.
seems to have attracted ain immense con.
course Of strangers to Baltimore. The
number in attendance, according 10 the
statements Of the neutral press, was great
beyond any thing whichwas anticipated, and
fell but little short Of the wing raree show Of
three weeks before. We have not YET
received the full proceedings, and canno,
therefore make as detailed report as we
desired. Below we give the most inter-
esting items collected from several Of our
exchanges. The Baltimore Sun says:
"The number present far exceeds any,
thing that was anticipated, even by the
most sanguine, and when taken in connec-
ton with the recent enthusiastic demonstra-
ton in this city by the friends Of Mr.. Clay,
clearly indicate that neither party intend
to let the election go by default, but are
marshalling all their energies for the con-
test"
A correspondent ofthe New York Even
Ing Post, confirms this as follows:
"There is not vacant hole in the city
big enough for woodpecker to hang from
by his bill. The crowd is tremendous. !
should think, though did not see that rout,
that it must be but little If at all inferior
even in point ofAumbers to the Clay con-
venton." f.s
The Sun (neuttal) thus describes the APP
pearance of the convention:
eat IL o'clock the delegations, having
been successfully admitted as they arrived
at the Hall, in their united capacity pre-
sented as respectable and dignified body
as we have ever seen convened on similar
or any other occasions. The familiar faces
Of honorable gentlemen, whose talents, ele-
waited position and popular character have
made their names and fame household
words throughout the country, were en-
countered at every glance by the eye prac-
tised in the political world; while others
composing the assembly maintained, in all
appearance, that dignifed character which
to the observer pervaded the whole"
