Interesting OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TO Gen. CasS.
BALTIMORE, May %, 1913

baltimore, May 70, 1913.
DEAR SIR: You are doubtless appraised
Of the fact that a National Convention of
republican delegates from various portions
of the Union, assembled in this city on the
22d instant, for the purpose OF selecting
candidates for the two highest executive
offices Of the United States. We are graf
Iifed in having it in our power to inform
you that the Convention with great unani-
nifty agreed to present FOUR name to the
country for the Office of President, and re-
quested us TO communicate to you this NOM
~ination, and solicit your acceptance. In
performing this duty, which we do with
great pleasure, it is proper that the rrsolG-
tions adopted by the convention, and con-
tanning the principles upon which they be-
'lieve the government ought to be admins
tered, should be laid before ycu. These
constitute a platform broad enough for all
tue democrats to stand upon, and narrow
enough to exclude all those who may be
opposed to the great principles Of the dem
ocratic party That these principles will
meet with your cordial assent and support,
and be illustrated in your administration, if
called to this high office by your country,
we do not for a moment doubt; but feel as
sured, that whilst You exercise furbearancc
with firmncss, you will not fail to exert
your faculties to maintain the principles and
just compromises of the constitution, in a
spirit of moderation and brotherly love, so
essential to the perpetuity of the
Union and the prosperity and happiness of
our common country. We offer you Our
our sincere congratulations upon this dis.
tinguished mark of the public confidence,
and are, with sentiments ofhigh esteem and
dear sir,
Your friends and obedient servants.

President National Convention.

The steamer josiah Laurence, says the
St. Louis Union, arrived here last night,
bringing 20. papers up to the LIST inst, from
which we have received the gratifying
intelligence that the Chamber of Deputies
have ratified the Treaty of Peace, and that
there was no doubt but the Senate would
concur.
The steamship Edith, Capt. Cou:liard, ar
rived in New Orleans on the morning of
the 3Oth May, from Vera Cruz, having left
there on the afternoon of the 23d. She
brought news from the City of Mexico to
the evening of the 2lst, and from Quereta-
70 to the 18th.
The final wife on the Treaty was taken
in the Chamber of Deputies at 6 IL O'Clock
on the evening of the 18th. 1t was ratif-
ed by a vote of 81 to 35-a vote which COM
pletely settles the question of peace. The
action of the Senate will be had with little
or no delay; in fact its decision was looked
for every moment at the city of Mexico be-
fore our express left, and not the slightest
doubts were entertained that the treaty
would pass that body with little or no OPP
position.
Gen. Butler was about issuing orders for
calling in all the outposts preparatory to the
immediate march of our troops fIom the

Gen. Persifor F. Smith has been select

was to leave the city of Mexico for Vera
Cruz on the 24th inst, for that purpose
Between the LIST and 4th of June, it was
confidently expected our army would be on
its march for the coast.

THE PRESIDENCY-ITS IMPORTANCE.


Now, that the political elements are at
work-that the tide of commotion is rolling
over this vast Republic, while the pen,Le
are looking forward to the 6eacon-lights
That are tc guide them in the political con
test into which they are just ushering, it is
natural and right that they should survey
we'll the ground upon which they are call
ed to tread. The present position of the
American people is novel and sublime in
the eyes Of the history of the world. In
this age of progress, when the old worlds
system of government is falling, when the
electric spark of freedom is flashing DER
the plains of Europe, this, the m0dci Re
p"blic, stands q naonnment to JreedOm at
a: an interesting period of its own history.
Great measures of national policy that have
divided the public mind for years, are Civ
ing away to new and suitable issues to the
age in which we live. Attic period of our
governmental history, when the success Of
our national policy is complete, when the
.clamors for Prote ctive Tariffs and National
Banks are being hushed, when the world is
espousing the principles Of Democracy,
when free trade is forcing its way upon the
faminc-strickcn colonies Of Europe, and
when freedoms hope is conferred in the sue
cess of American institutions, we are call
ed upon to express our confidence in our
by continuing that line of policy
that has placed us upon the eminence We
now occupy, that has sent conviction to
the patriots, and fear TO the hearts of the
of Europe; or to change front in
the face of the world, and to give to mon
arches the las: argument against the sta
billy of republics. The true issue to be in
volved in the approaching election, is pro-
grcssiOn or retr0ccSsion. The age We live
in is a strong one, and fraught with political
principles commensurate with the march oil
scientific improvements. The American
from her position upon the new
world, from her success in government, and
from the confusion of monarchies, is invited
to assume amongst nations, the position to
which nature and the "course of human
have assigned her the great elk
If of human freedom, and pioneer in free
dom's cause. Republican Americans! your
privilege is great, and your responsibility is
commensurate with this privilege. 1t is
your privilege to elevate to the helm Of this
government, the highest civil officer of the
world, who is to give direction to the repub-
lican spirit that now seeks a resting place
upon the piNo~s of monarchy. The re-
sponsibility of elevating a man skilled in d.
p~lomacy and civil affairs, rests with you.-
The eyes Of your country, of the world isl
upon you, while you are to choose between
a statesman who has filled nearly every Office

DIALOGUE.

Opoh tHe arrival OF the steamer Low aid
Bates at our whaif on Saturday last, with
the news of the nomination of Gen. Taylor
by the Wing National Convention, we heard
the following dialogue between a democrat
and a much delighted Clay loving whig:
Dem.--Well, neighbor, what's your pol
tics now?
Whig.-Do you mean am l a wing or a
democrat?
d. mean to say, what is your opinion
of the National Bank and the Protective
Tariff policy? Ale you for them?
10, why no, ah!dor'tia,K to me about
such TIL IS as them, Pm for Gen. Taylor.
Since the speeches of Clay, Webster and
Corwin, the wings have not ceased to in
dulge in a tyrade of abuse of the War and
the Administration. Their speeches have
been republished and freely circulated in
Mexico, and American officers and soldiers
by hundreds, have written home complain
ing to their country of this unnatural course
Of their countrymen. They have testified
to the infiammatory character cf these
speeches, to the pernicious effects they have
produced upon the willing Mexican mind
that they have impeded the prospects of
peace more than whole armies of Mexican
This evidence pours in upon the
country, and what is the reply of these men
and their coadjutors? why, they vote sup
plies and brand the war as unholy and Ia
constitutional. The Mexicans don't under
such sympathy, they finally come 10
now for the reckoning. We
nave been tuld by this cohort of opposi-
ion, when their course was justly viewed
10 scorn, that their tongues were bound
while their country was at war, that when
closed they would bring the President
md the Democratic party to a strict &C
count. How much they have been restrain
ID their countrynen can Judge but if they
lave anything worse to say let us prepare
hear it now. Let them not all, like the
Louisville Journal, be seized with a Nausea
1t the very mention of the subject Of war.
Let them not abandon their purpose of set
ling the account, lestthey fear it will prove
n wing hands like M~cFingar's gun
(which when well aimed at duck or plorer.
Bore wide and kicked the holder orer."

LINCOLN AND ST. CHARLEs.-The Con-
v~ention, composed of delegates from both
these counties, which met at Blanks, on
Saturday, the sth ultimo, nominated Doc
tor Richard Fl. Voolfolk, for the State SEN
ate. This was doubtless the best sele ctiOn
that could have been made under the cir
cumstaDces;-although the names Of two
most estimable gentlemen were before the
Convention. Doctor Voolfolk has resided
for twenty years in that section of the State
his kindness to the poor, his generosity Of
heart, his urbane manners, have endearsd
him to the people; while bis sound and I'M
erring judgment has secured him the con-
fdence of the public. The Democracy
should be proud of their candidate, and will,
we doubt not, rally around him with such
spirit as to insure his election.
