The FIRST BALTIMORE CONVENTION
Albany atlas, gives brief history of the first
Democratic Convention at Baltimore, as apro-
pos at the present time:
r La that Convention the two-thirls rule was
passed By Virginia in order 10 defeat the NOM
ination of Richard Nj. Johnson for the Vice
Presidency, and finally, under threat from the
South Carolinians, adopted by the Convention.
In spite of the rule, Col. Johnson was nomina-
ted, and the candidate of the Virginia delega-
ton defeated. Therrupon the Virginia dele
gates, with Thomas Richie, (now editor of the
Union,) at their head, declared they would not
support the nominee of the Convention fol
Vice President, on the ground that "he did moi
represent the political principles of Virginia.
Accordingly they seeded, returned home, anC
the Democratic State Conventions at Richmond
struck off the name of Richard NJ. Johnson, fo
Vice President, and substituted that of VIM
Smith, of Alabama, and for this nomination
the nineteen votes of Virginia were cast The
candidate presented i'm Convention for Vice Pre-
sident, by the Virginia delegation in preference
10 Colonel Johnson, was VIM. G. Rives, who
after passing through Conservatism, became 4
decided Wing.
The New York Globe, the organ ofsthe Barn
burners, thinks, in view OF these things, that i
is rather out of place for the Washington Unior
and Richmond Enquirer to be finding fault witt
the New Workers.

OLD VIRGINIA VS.. sUCKERDoM.

An Illinois Sucker took a great dislike to
a ioppish young Virgnian. who, few weeks
since, was fellow passenger wilhihim, on one
OF our steamboats,. The Virginian was con-
unually combng his hair, brushing his coal,
or busting his boots-to all which movements
the Sucker took exceptions, as being wha'
he termed "a leetle too darned nice, by half
He finally drew up his chair beside the Wiz

"You are poorly high up in The pictures

The NORTHERN MAN WITH SOUTHERN PRIN-
cIPLEs.-The Slave States cast their l2l votes
in the Baltimore Convention as follows. On
the first ballot, Gen. Cass received &c being
seven more than one half of all the votes cast
for him.
On the third ballot he received I'll votes from
the Slave States, and on the fourth ballot 81,
the entire vote of the South save "a votes; his
whole vote from the Free States was 81, ~
thereof from Locofoco States and 60 from
Wing States.
This statement is sufficient commentary
upon the efficiency of Gen. Cass's pledges and
assurances in favor of Slave extension and the
continuance Of the Southern Governmental
policy. The Generals history proves him to
be ac9an Of ''amiable weakness and Piiable
consistency, and cannot be confidently trust
ed; at this present, however, he is "a northern

A Disappointed Aspirant.
"What is all this JVorth1n

In the late ballotings at Baltimore for Lo
cofoco candidate for the Presidency, Gen. VIM
J. Worth received sir votes! Six votes and no
more. This is the pitiful, pdltry, ungrateful
reward which Locoiocoism deals out TO one
who has sacrificed so much TO propitate its
favor. Let us see how the account stands
In the late campaigns in Mexico, Gen. Worth
achieved much military glory; he had been for
many years an avowed Wing; and he had been
from his youth the devoted friend of General
Scott. under whose patronage and friendship
he had grown from private 10 Brevet Major
General. Suddenly he consented to degrade
his well-earned laurels by he most abject sub
serviency to the partizan powers at home; re-
canted his long cherished political opinions;
and lent himself to the dirty service of misrep-
reseniing and. insulting his old friend and
commander; and for what? For the hope OF
Locofoco favor--for the hope of this Locoloco
nomination.. And now see the reward. For
all this he has received sir voiesl Oh, shabby

Jews were never considered a very grateful nor
generous people, but surely the thirty pieces of
silver which they gave Judas was better pay
than this.-Cin. Atlas. 80. 49,. .

stated, by reporter of the trial for the n. o.

courage, he was selected by his commanding
officer to command one of the 'forlorn hopes
at the storming of the castle of Chapultepec.
He was allowed to select fifteen men 10 ac-

RESPONSE OF New YORK LocoFocoIsM. The
New York Evening Post and New York Globe
are the organs of the barnburning division of
the Locofoco party of New York. and, when it
is understood that this division constitutes
full two thirds of the party in that State, the
following comments of The organs on the pro-
ceedings of the Baltimore convention and the
nomination of Gen. Cass will justly be deem
ed conclusive as to what may be looked for
from the empire State in November:
From the New York Globe
We do not regret that this gentleman was
preferred-for, in regard to him, the views OF
the Democracy of our State have been frequent
y and fully expressed. His course upon va
rious questions, but more particularly on the
subject of maintaining freedom in territories
where ii now exists, has earned for him the
hearty contempt OF the people of this State,
and we are gratified that an opportunity is
presented of declaring this sentiments at the
pools.
Had the representatives of New York been
allowed 10 take part in this nomination, it will
be seen that a two-third vote would not have
been obtained for Gen. Cass. We are graft
iied that such was not the fact, and that we are
thus relieved from al responsibility for no.
mination which reflects deep disgrace on the
parties by whom il was made. The delegates
from New York were excluded because they
were friendly to the preservation of freedom
i'm free territories, and Gen. Cass was nomina
ted because he believed such preservation I'M
constitutional. This is exactly the test pre-
lsented by Georgia, Virginia, Alabama and
Florida, and to which the Utica convention
solemnly resolved they never would submit.
The Democratic party of the Union has been
dsmembered on this sole question, and the
Democrats OF New York are thrown back to
the alternative of State action and State nomi-
ma tons. Ii remains for them to act with the
calmness, firmness. and determination which
have always signalized their action.
From the New York Evening PostI
The final. vote given for Mr.. Cass is not
properly two-thirds vote after all. 1t COM
prises two-thirds Of the votes of the conven-
ton. If the representatives of the New York
people had been allowed their rights, Mr..
Cass could not have been nominated. 1t was
important, therefore, TO his friends, that their
