We make every effort this morning to make up the
eeway and bring up the of the proceedings of the

another opportunity Facts first, and comments here
after.
We have given our own opinion OF the nominations.
We shall lay before readers fast possible, the
evidences of public opinion, they emanate from the
public journals. The first extract make is from the
Baltimore Sun, neutral paper, which pays the following
handsome tribute to the merits of our nominees:
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONTENTION Nomination of Gen
Cas- for President and Major General Butler for Vice
ideM-The business Of the convention progressed yester
day with equal harmony and CELEBRITY and resulted in the
nomination of candidates for the distinguished offices of the
Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States
will, in all political probability effect iaon and
reunion Of nearly all the diverse of the party
and Buer-- is strong ticket, and will be hard beat
The wings must put out all their strength and pull to-
geiher with good WILL in the before them for they
have heroes in the field worthy of their best efforts and
may well realize
That stern joy that feel,
will be seen, by report that three ballots for the
presidential candidate occurred without choice AT the
tourh the pete triumph of the friends Gen Cass
peared in handsome vote beyond the requisite two
thirds-New York, however, casting no ballot What the
would have had New York cast her vote is not
a theme for conjecture all that be said upon the
their unanimous approval of the choice of convention
and their determination support the distinguished nom
nee.
the choice of Cen Cas- convention has no doub
acted wisely and WELL From point observation we
inclined think that he will be generally acceptable
throughout the Union. Wherever he is personally known
Cen Cass fails to have host of friends His aa-
by, his native kindness of heart his frank and manly
bearing invest his character with traits ressbly attrac
while his public services, military and civil many
which have been of great importance and responsibility
and elected eminent qualifications of craftsmanship,
calculated the implicit confidence of the people
The evening session of the convention resulted in the
choice of Major General Butler, the head of The
army in Mexico, for the Vice Presidency This distin
guished officer, whose military has been
testimonial OF dauness courage-a vaor indeed nsensbla
danger, and resolution always equal the sense Of
duty-s without the recommendations an exalted
capacity for civil service.
Those who know him best, confident in the dtin
guished ability and suavy of department with which he
will grace the chair OF the Senate, should he be honored
with the choice of the people.
Such is the ticket which the deliberations, rather the
chances of the convention have produced for it is univer
sally admitted that the sklfu guessers of the po
cal camp at fault TO the choice of the assembly

The nominations with the people, and the cam.
paign is fairly opened; the issue be finally made uJ
by the nominations of the wing party, in Philadelphia
early in June and then the long agony ensues and
must all wait padeny-as patiently can-democrats

The nomination has been received in this city by the
democrats with great delight 1t gives them confidence
in the Of our cause. CAss and BUTLER is a
strong team With proper exertions, carry the
day Our friends, whom we have seen on their return
from Baltimore have brought the strongest of
