The Two THIRDS RULE.-This most anti
democratic feature Of all the creed of modern
miscalled democracy was first engrafted upon
it by the Baltimore convention of 1874, when
it became necessary to enable the minority to
defeat the nomination of the favorite of the
majority, in direct subversion Of the cardinal
principle upon which our whole system ofgov-
eminent rests Martin Van Buren, was the
choice of very large majority of that conven-
ton; Lewis Cass he choice of but very
small minority. And yet by the operation OF
this rule the minority were able TO defeat the
wishes of the majority; and dictate to them a
candidate neverbefore thought of for the Presi-
dency. Forassisting in this iniquitous proceed
ing, and disappearing their constituents by
voting for Cass, the Indiana Delegation were
every where received upon their return home
with repoof and denunciation, In this district
especially the famous Col. BowLEs and his CO.
adjutors were visited with the most unqualif-
ed condemnation ofthe party and its press.
We have now before us long article in the
Indiana Statesman of July 18th. 1874, then the
organ ofits party in this district, published un-
der the immediate supervision of Mr.. Owen
in Which that paper professedly"ap plies the lash
to the delegation from Indiana that voted for
Gen. Glass;" talks of 'the feeling of burning in
dignation which is at present stifed in the
breasts of at least three-fouths of the democra-
cy of Indiana" insists that ''the votes given
for CAss by our delegation were in direct viola
ton of the sentiments of the people," and con
cludes by saying what is as true now as then
'swe always believed the CAss fever to be ar
artificial one, HAVING NO HOLD ON THF
MASS OF THE PEOPLE. The trickerq g. e
the two-thirds rule) used in the Baltimore
Convention to defeat Mr.. Van Buren,, fully con
firms this belief"
Now, however the Vanderburgh Democrat i!
strongly in favor of this modern democratic {!
rule, and of course assumes it for granted thai
its readers go with it. If SD it only show.

A Rich ScENE.-The Locofocos in Washing
ton City, we learn from the Cincinnati Gazette
called meeting at the Capitol to ratify the
nominations of the Baltimore Convention
The night was rainy, and the ''affair" like their
nominees last profession of faith, was fiat
very.
Senators Benton and Dix were not present
to give in their adhesion, and to.retire under
existing circumstances might occasion shorrid
dreams"
The Gazette says the rain descended, and
thick darkness ''filled" the streets and avenues
of the city of magnificent distances The
venerable Richie, as ardent as Southern sun
ever made any man, with his lantern in hand,
led the cro,0d, first to the residence of Senator
Dix. The New York Senator, sympathising
with the Barnburners, came forth and respon.
ded to the midnight call, in speech s'pregnant
with sentention brevity." He said he hoped
the Democracy of New York would come out
right, and that he should do nothing to pre-
vent it.
This was cold comfort in dark and rainy
night. The crowd departed thence, Father
Richie leading the way, his lantern casting but
''small light about his footsteps" Atlength
the residence Of Senator Benton was found,
and the midnight cry brought "Old Bullion"
to upper window. He thanked them for
the call, and was about retiring when Mr..
Folks editor, all blythe and lively, cried out
"come down SENATOR and tell US how Missou-
ri will go?" Old Bullion responded, ''ah! is
that the editor of the Union who calls-he re-
minds me OF old Diogenes with his lantern,
looking about the streets of Syracuse foran hon
est man! Well, sir, Missouri will go right
she is always right. Good night, sir And
down went the window, and the crowd dis
persed to their respective lodgings.

GEN. CAss A FEDERALIsr.-"TheL ocofoco
press, says Independent, the'Washington cor
respondent of the North American, sswith its
customary system ofdisingenuousness, has un-
dertaken TO deny the statement representing
Gen. Cass as having worn the black cockade in
Delaware. In order to remove all misapprehen-
sion on this point, have taken the pains toex-
anime Niles Register, and present the follow
ing citation, to be found in the 47th volume,
Sept. Is, 1884. If what is called Democracy
wants better authority, confess my embarrass-
ment in being able to discover it."
awe have long entertained high opinion of
the talents and patriotism of Governor Cass,
though not subscribing to all his opinions; but
the fact is that while his father, Major Cass,
"a gallant officer of the Revolution and an &C
complished gentleman of the Old School) su-
perintended the recruiting service in Della ware
in l799-l800, for what we democrats then
called the provision eating army, he (the pre-
sent Gov. Cass) was the preceptor of the gram
mar school, in Wilmington, and dlrays APP
peared with "black cockade' in his hat--and
so we see it also stated in the Delaware Jour
nal" as being in the present recollection of
many of the citizens of Wilmington. y
His worthy father was very ardent Federal
ist'' eucn for those days, and we well remember
striking evidence OF it."
The above citation, which we published
few days ago, has thrown the Democrat and its
party hereabouts into perfect fever. That
print, Of Saturday, has half dozen articles
about the matter, and says it could remark
much further on the subject ifcommentI words
we supposed were necessary. We have no
doubt but the Democrat can string any quaint
ty of words together, and every one denying
Cass wasa Federalist, but that won't go very
far in disproEing the authority we quote above
We have touched them on the raw and we shall
otspare the lash. We shall give them enough
OF Federalism before November to satisfy theil
appetites.

CANDIDATE CAss AND New YoRK.-The Eu
Post of the 1st contains an address from the
Rarnburner Delegation to their constituents,
on the subject of the recent nominations at
Baltimore, which after detailed history Of the
entire proceedings;arrive at the conclusion that
1.-THE Democracy of this state New York; are
thrown backupon the alternative of either hav
ing no regular candidate, or of nominating for
themselves though their own legitimate state
organization" They. therefore, recommend
that convention shall be held at Utica on the
22nd instant, for the purpose Ct receiving the
report of the regular Democratic Delegates to
the National Convention, and expressing their
sentiments il regard to the action of that body
excluding New York from participation in its
proceedings, and for recommending candidates
for the Offices of President and Vice President,
subject TO the decision of the State Convention
regularly called for the 18th of September or to
take such other action relating thereto rs many
seem desirable.
In the course of leader on the subject, the
Post has the following comments:
| the Democrats of New York regard the NOM
ination of democratic candidate for the Pres
dency of the United States as not yet made
| in this state of things they will do the best
they can, they will exercise their best discre-
ton in the selection Of man whom they can
support, and they will oppose the spurious
nomination attempted to be fastened on them
by truncated and packed convention, until
the presidential electors OF the State shall have
been chosen. The people will then have sig
1 nifed their will in this matter; we shall then
see where the majority lies, ard the contest
will be at an end
GA vote has been obtained in very thin
meeting of the Democratic General Conven-
ton OF this city in favor of the nomination o.
g Gen. Cass lfthere had been full meeting
we learn that the nomination would have beer
directly repudiated. Even if the meeting were
/ full one, the proceedings of that committee
S are of no consequence. There are generally
r office holders and Office seekers and plan
tools enough, in its composition to deprive
such expressions of its opinion of any title tc
t respect. We ourselves lave been formal,
o accommodated and anathametised by tina
y committee, without finding our standing will
the party at all-efected by it. The excommu
u nication pronounced some ten years ago, is We
e believe, in full force yet. We are sure tina
h We never felt anything but quiet contemp
! for it.

CANDIDATE CAss IN SOUTH CARoLINA.--I the
course of certain remarks touching the ques-
ton of slavery as applicable to territories, Mr..
Rhett the other day in the House asserted his
unqualified preference TO the Wilmot Proviso
in its naked form. TO the Modification which
had been proposed by certain politicians. This
allusion was generally understood to apply to
the dough face letter of candidate Cass to Mr.
Nicholson, and is looked upon as clear indi-
cation of the disfavor with which Cass may ex-
pect to be received in South Carolina.

THE DEaocRTIc NOMINATIONS IN SouTH CAR
oLINA.-In announcing the nominations made
by the late Democratic Convention at Balti-
more the Charleston News says;
alt is our opinion that this nomination will
not receive the assent of theState of South Car
DINA; and we have no doubt that the State will
in It's primary assemblies, disavow the act OF
the individual who has claimed to represent
her in the Convention. No one who sat IN
that assembly was authorized to cast her vote
for Gen. Cass or any other candidate: she is not
bound, therefore, in honor or principle, to
abide the decision of that body. The State Is
untrammelled to pursue that course which hel
sense of duty, under the constitution and hel
own rights and interests, may dictate.
