TIE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
MIR. Cas-, it seems, has been agreed upon
by the mutilated convention at Baltimore, as q
candidate for the Presidency of the United
States. Fhe news is received with great ioy
by the wings Of this quarter. Their Journal
lists are already presenting their thanks 10 the
convention, and the friends of Clay Wear much
more cheerful faces. The nomination has
been made without the vote of New YorS if
her delegates had been admitted into the Con-
ventlon 1t could not have been made; and il
now remains for the democracy of this State
to say whether, 10y accepting the nomination,
they Will sanction the outrage which thrust
out their representatives, and led TO the nomi-
nation OF 4 candidate WHO, of all the demo-
Gratis spoken of for the Office, was the ost uu-
acceptable TO our citizens his is grave
question, and we are certain that it Will re-
ceiye due attention.
Our delegates have behaved with dignity
and propriety, and il manner worthy ofihe
character of the great State they represented
and It's intelligent democracy. : hey would
accept no less than fun recognition Of ilo
rights to whfrh their constituents wert emit led
and not obtaining their demand they withdrew
from the convention NoStcp has been omit
ted on their part TO obtain for those who sent
them voice in the convention, ard failing in
this, they could not without disgrace, be seen
taking part in its proceedings.
The final vote given for Mr. Cass is not
properly Il two-thirds vote after all. 1t ccn,-
prises two-thirds Of :he votes given. Int not
two-tirds of the votes of the Convention. If
the representatives Of tie New York people
had been allowed their rights, Mr. C.ss could
not have Lecn nominated, II was important
therefore, to his friends, that their votes Should
be either excluded or ncutralizcd-a fact of
which the Washington politicians VIC attend
cd, were well aware before they left Lcmc.
Nine Of the votes given for him were cast
by one negro driver from South Carolina, al,-
pointed at "neiglborhood gathering" and
assuming to vote ior the whole S;ate-wherc
Mr.. Cas- IS sure Of receiving no support from
any party, unless he makes an entire new de-
claration of principles OH the slavery question.
Neither has the Convention given Tie ncnli-
nation It's usual unanimous confirmation. The
delegates from Alabama and Georgia refuse to-
abide by it, until filler and more cxpl it OK
plantations are given on that very question, by
Mr. CaSs's friends in the convention
What sort Of nomination then is this
nomination made in convention mutilatcd
and packed in such L manner that it can by
no admissible figure of speech be called To-
dy representing public opinion in tie par
ty from which it was consiitutcd-a ncmira-
ton which even nov depends for its validity
in some democratic States upon new tonccs-'
sions to the shareholders, which arc YET 10 he
proposed, debated and exactcd?
These concessions will probably be granted,
and the consunmaticn OF the proceedings of
this convention will be as disgraceful as their
inception.
