THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The deliberations Of the Democratic Convention at
Baltimore have resulted IN the nominations ol the IL N.

lucky for the Wee Presidency the latter having received,
on the SECOND ballot, the unanimous vote of The Con

drew frnm the Convention before the nomination. leav-
inr the whole number of memlSrs voting 25i, of whom
Mr Csss received, the fourth ballot, the votes oi ~
being nine than twn-thlrds OF the whole number
present; and he accordingly declared Only chosen.
On the first haoting the vote stood. for Mr. CasS l2j
votes for Judge Levi Woodbury. 81. fr James Buckan
an 50, for John C. Calhoun ., for George NJ. Dallas 8,
and for General Worth 9.
In nominating Mr.. Cass. il mus Nc admitted that the
Convention have selected for their candidate gentle
man Of talents, Of responsibility. and Of exemplary per
spna character. These worthy traits however. wo-
fully counrrpuscd BY the Wild and disappointing views
and principles which he has of late years avoWed and
advocated. and which if they ever obtain firm footing

do make absolute shpwreck of lhis glorious Union

of the election will prove the hopes OF those who have
placed General Cass in the field
Whether Gen. Cass is the strongest candid whom
the Democracy could tave found in It's ranks we much

such crushing load Of taxation, has the poor man to look
for comfort and happiness Shelter food, fuel all taxed
all put beyond bis REACH except the almost
ducons Of the earth, potatoes and mud and water"
A report Of the Association then proceeds to show
that out of every three pence which the poor man
spends IN tea, two pence goes TO the Government
in the shape Of tax; that malt liquor is much in
creased in price to the consumers, who are princ-
pally among the lower class, by the duty on the
raw MATERIAL and that the price of tobacco, nine
tenths of which is consumed by the working classes,
is increased nearly tenfold by the duty.
Such is the mode which is now taking to give the
people at large some idea Of the effect Of indirect
taxation upon their comforts; and to show them,
although the tax-gatherer does not absolutely and
literally call at their doors for the duties that thew
are taxed heavily upon almost all they eat and
drink, and upon almost every thing they use and
wear. And they are further told and taught that
they are so taxed TO support the was,eful expendi-
ture of the higher classes
We have given thus much Of this subject. not be-
cause we agree with every observation or adm, the
cogency of every illustration which we have quoted,
or because we approve Of this mode Of ns,ructing
the people, seeing that it must lead TO discomfort
without showing any very available remedy; but
we have stated il as part Of the history of the times
as exhibiting the direction in which much of the
mind and thought Of England is now running, and
as shadowing forth the subjects which, mos, pro.
baby, Parliament will have to attend to at the ap-
preaching session.
The House Of Commons was not idle during lis
last session. The number Of days devoted 10 bust
ness was 10, the number Of hours of sitting was
,407, being an average of hours 9 minutes each
day. The longest sitting was fifteen hours and a
half, the shortest quarter Of an hour. The num-
Der Of hours after midnight in which the House was
in session was 1876. The whole number of entries
on the votes was lO,4l2 the number Of div
sions 255
