We copy the following remarks from the
Baltimore Sun:
The Convention has had, with its more
agreeable duties of presenting candidates for
the high offices of the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States to its con-
s,i,uency. some unpleasant offices to per-
form. But, notwithstanding general i'm
preston seemed to prevail amongst its
friends and foes, that stormy and disorga-
u
spirit removed all obstacles in the way of a
reunion among those who had become sun
dered by local interests, and invited general
harmony and friendly association. That
such result. did not occur upon the spot, is
not the fault Of the Convention No mea-
sures were left untried to effect that recon-
Citation which was felt to be very desirable
The weight of New Y ork, however, in the
electoral college gives her an importance
that invests her representatives with some
rather intraclable attributes. But, we sup
pose the Democratic party, in view of the
general expectation OF more serious difficult
ties, and of the fact that the matter was real
ly quite threatening and alarming, finds
cause to congratulate itself that the whole
affair has passed off so favorably; and will
be disposed, moreover, to credit New Y ork
with behaving pretty we'll under all the cir
cumstances, any how.
What will he the effect of the whole pro-
ceeding in New York, remains for the fu-
ture to develop; the Wings seem quite con-
fident that the two divisions of the party
will no. coalesce, and there is certainly good
reason for this opinion. The Democrats
are evidently not very sanguine in their
hopes that concert of action will prevail, but
they take hearty consolation in the bold
assertion that they can elect their tickle,
without New York. For our part, we hard
ly think the quarrel will extend far into the
Presidential campaign. Both parties in New
York will, upon reflection. perceive that the
Convention acted most honorably and fairly
towards them, and that its course was die
tated by paramount regard for the integri-
ty of the party; moreover the burner
division will also realize that had they been
exclusively admitted as the New Y ork del
egalion, they could not, by their influence
have effected the nomination of any indivi-
dual coinciding with their peculiar views on
the question they hold so prominently be
fore them; and therefore, the nominees Of
the Convention, if not Objectionable upon
other specific grounds, will no doubt be very
generally sustained by the Democratic par,
~ of the Empire State.
The Wings appear to be very we'll salts,
fed with the nominations, though they are
pretty free to admit that it is strong ticket
Its military character will unquestionably
affect their nominations. and here in Balli
more, no other name but Gen. Taylor is
heard of in connection with the Presidency
What sentiments and feelings will be brought
into conjunction from other parts Of the
country, we shall all discover in due sea-
son.
