THE COMING BALTIMORE
CONVENTION.

The assem- bling of this body on the
22d instant, is now looked for with i'm
patient interest throughout the country.
The democracy are anxious to know
definitely which one of their eminent
statesmen is to lead them to their next
great triumph; and no voice is heard to
say that the day fixed 70: designating
him will come too soon. The hear: of
our great party beats high with that
confidence of success which inspires to
victorious effort. 1t is on the old plat
form of principles, and for the good
old cause, that the new standard bear
er is to be chosen, and the new battle
to be fought. In this view, We pub
lish, as part ofthis article, the gener-
al resolutions which were unanimously
adopted by the Baltimore Convention
of 1914, as embodying the distinctive
and permanent creed of the democratic
party. OF the resolutions then passed,
we omit only three, as being of spe-
cial and temporary character-those,
namely, which refer respectively to the
Oregon and Texas question; to the
Nominations for that canvass; and to
the grateful and admirng commemora-
! ton ofthe illustrious public services of
Mr.. Van Buren,. .
OftEe resolutions we publish, those
designated by numerals from ! to 9 in
elusive, were, as their preamble. indi-
Gates, made the basis Of our party or
ganization in the canvass of1840, and
then failed OF success only under the
pressure circumstances before unpre-
cedented in the condition of the coun-
try and of the public mind, and which
can never occur again, at least until
that distant day when the wings shall
first have succeeded in their design of
fastening upon the people their double
| incubus--a new tariff like those of 1928
and 1912, and a new monster bank
land thus have aroused the democra-
cy to throw off and trample under foot
the intolerable burden, even, if need be,
at the cost of political CONFUSION,
which shall shake for time the very
foundations of wealth and of industry
throughout the land, and once more,
as in 1887, make widespread bankrupt
cy the controlling element of the hour!
In order TO renew their triumph of 40,
the wings must first have the power,as
they have the will, to establish sys.
tenn oppressive and disastrous enough
to reproduce, in its inevitable over
throw, the frightful disorders of 1887.
But this can never be. The country
has been alarmed! seei
Thus, while we are proud that the
democratic convention of 1914, so sig
nally and conclusive)y testified by the

that is, in inducing, by his superior

HARDY COUNTY.

The Romney Intelligencer of Friday
gives the returns from Hardy county.
The candidate of the ultra Mexican
portion ofthe Wing party, Mr.. Welton,
received 33l; Miles, war Wing, 218;
Michael, Democrat, 81. 1t is very
evident, from the result of the election
in this county, that majority of the
Wing party prefer Mr.. Clay to Gen.
Taylor for the presidency.

GEN CASS AS A Roy

Hon. Frederick Robinson, of Massachusetts,
thus eloquently refers to the early life of Gen.
Cass:
81 have always been partial TO the charac-
ter of Gen. Cass. He was born and brought
up in my native town, and although he left it
about the time of my birth, yet our families
were always intimate and near neighbours Ny
grandfather and the father of Gen. Cass were
both ma ors in the revolution, and both fought
in the battle of Bunker Hill. | was always
more familiar with his relatives than with any
other persons out of my own family in Exc
ter, and was consequently in the way of hear
ing him spoken of in terms of commentator
My aged mother, who has resided with me
many years, still remembers him. She used
often to speak of him, as having been good
boy, and bright scholar in Exeter Academy
and has often encouraged me to persevere in
my efforts for self-education, by quoting Lew
is Cass, who also commenced life in INDECENT
circumstances.
we'll recollect that, while student in Elk.
eter Academy, have often heard the venera
Bile and excellent DR.. Abbott, in order to en-.
courage his pupils, speak of the eminent mer
whom he had educated, and especially of Lew
is Cass and Daniel Webster. who were pupil:
at the same time under his instruction. From
| these circumstances was led to make Mr.
Cass in some degree my exemplar, and to fol
low after him, at an humble distance confess
in my efforts for improvement. Accordingly

the principal events of his history | observ

age men. He has since served his country il
peace and in war, at home and abroad, in tn

A VOICE FROM THE GRAVE.

Every republican-(of course the leaders o.
the federal party will not)-but every republi
can voter in the land will fully agree with u.s.
that the people of this republican nation have q
right to know all the opinions of candidate
in reference to public matters. Anything like
stances, especially in one seeking the high Of
fee Of President, is fraud upon the rights OF
the electors. Gen. Taylor has studiously
concealed his opinions on some OF the most
absorbing and vital questions of the day. Al
the North he is held up as being opposed to
the extension of slavery-whie at the South
his friends are driven to the alternative of pre-
senting his two hundred slaves, and his posi-
ton, as evidence that he is sound on this sub
ject. Notwithstanding these opposing claims
to him on the part of his own friends in the
two sections, still Gen. Taylor is perfectly
mum.
The departed patriot and statesmaT. andrew
Jackson, has left his warning voice to hi:
countrymen, urging inem not to trust any man
who will rot frankly avow his principles pre-
VIoGs to an election. Listen TO his words oil
wisdom and admonition:
II say. again, fellow-citizens, remember the
fate of ancient Rome, and VOTE FOR NO cANDI'
DATE Oho will not tell yOu ,Uith the frankness d
