enthusiasm throughout the State His opponent, Mr.
Goldsborough, is gentleman OF unexceponable private
character but the wings Baltimore are said to be
tilted to have candidate so little distinguished for speak

take the stump; but Mr. Goldsborough is not able to
make any figure before the people Although the nom-
mating convention sat in Cambridge, his own residence
Mr. Golisborough did not appear before it to accept the
nomination.
As for Colonel Thomas, he is Of the best and most
effective stump speakers in Maryland. This is light
praise, for it ranks him with such orators John v. L.

friends are in the very best spirits and they do not fear
the result All the various sections of the party
working together and striving to do their utmost.

A National Convention.

We observe of ate that many of the leading southern
journals expressing themselves with marked empha
sis in favor of national democratic convention to select
candidate for the presidency They to be strong
y OF the opinion that the vexed question involved in the
Wimot Proviso if it be destined, in the course Of
events to enter at all in the next canvass, may be set
tied in such convention on the basis OF the Missouri
Compromise and in satisfactory to all sections
OF the country We have heretofore expressed our own
decided convictions that result desirable may be
confidently looked for from the counsels of democratic
convention, which will necessarily have for its main
object the harmony and union of the great party which
ii will represent We cannot doubt that just and wise
spirit of Cancellation and compromise will preside
the deliberations OF such body when it shall assemble
Among many other evidences of southern feeling upon
this subject, select the following from the Southern
Banner" democratic paper published at Athens, Geor-
ga The Banner expresses itself to the nomi,
nation of Gen. Taylor, without knowing more oil his
democratic prncpesgoes for a reference OF the presi
dent question to national convention"-and adds:
"We are decidedly favor of this plan. 1t is in accord
ance with the usages party and under them have
triumphed and brought in and prosperity in
peace the whole country The Wmot Proviso seems to
be, with of friends, barrier to this and
has had think, nconsiderable influence in bringing
them into The Taylor Hoe, again, think, they
either unnecessarily alarmed that the result does
correspond with the proper degree of apprehension
Have they tried ournorhen friends fairly compromise
line of 36 degrees north latitude? Until they do hope
they will talk less Of and fear less from, the Wimot Pro-
vso We get the compromise line and rally the south
upon it! Let us then into convention-our delegates
will take of us, and northern friends will
them in spirit Of compromise, the democratic
party, its ascendency continue prosperity the
country and save the Unon!'
The New York Globe responds to these sentiments of
the " Banner" in the following patriotic terms:
Notwithstanding the spenetic demonstrations of few
democrats at the NORTH believe the great body Of
the northern democracy will be disposed their
southern brethren in "a spirit of compromise that will pre-
the democratic party its asccndency continue
prosperity to the country and the Union Such,
least the desire of every democrat who wishes
the ascendency OF his paryof every patriot who looks
the prosperity of his country and the permanency of
glorious Union.
Let fine democracy ponder on these things calmly COOL
y, and mpartally"
