The Conrention-Thc THO 7hirders-Ihe York
State Folks-Iatorst;ng Phasis of the Politica
Kaleidoscope-7he Redupication fthe Contcrtl
of the Hg7,hentten.
The efiervesence is most glorious-the points
gained most decided-the points to be achieved
most deliciously uncertain: The plot thickens-the
incidents crowd thickly upon us. Another day
and the mystery will be solved.
Since the pledge exacted by the Committee of
Credentials from the Barnbumers-since the pro-
test of that delegation, and their withdrawal last
night in high dudgeon from the committee room
since the report of the committee in favor Of the
Hunkers, there has been a warmish time, in the
Convention, rather.
Michigan turned round to-day on the two-third
rule, after betrayng her fears of its operation upon
General Cass. Pennsylvania seemed equally afraid
of II, and for the same reason; On the other hand
New Hampshire, by her vote for IT, seemed TO think
that something might be made out OF 1t. We shall
see. Neither the Cass, Buchanan or Woodbury.
stock, is now al premium. though Mr. Buchanan
has been gaining ground little.
There were two or three most exciting scenes
in Convention to-day, for which we refer you
TO your reporters report The people being eX-
cluded from the galleries In the afternoon, ac-
count of their cracking with the weight of the null
titude during the forenoon, and the unterrlhed de-
mocracy not being disposed to be buted OIL In that
kind of style, got up Convention OF their own IN
front of the church. Hon. Mr.. Stanton spoke for
them for upwards of two hours, amid an almost con-
slant outburst Of enthusiasm A young gentleman
from Virginia, and our friend Frazer, of the State OF
Berks, In Pennsylvania, kept up the fire till the adj
journment of the convention. At night, platform
having been fixed up in Monument square, the
speaking was resumed In behalf of democratic
ideas, measures and men. Messrs. flanagan, of
Indiana Yancey, OF Alabama Judge Bryce, Of
Louisiana, and our old friend Frazer, were among
the sons Of Demosthenes, who proclaimed to the
people the imminent danger in which their liber-
ties are placed at this present writing
Now for point or two of the dts of the day.
The democrats are nursing South Carolina tor fear
that New York must 60 by the board IN which
event there is no hope without South Carolina

The Bamburners have some strong friends in
the South-the old personal friends of Mr.. Van
Buren,, and they will make an effort yet to save
them, and cut off the vote of New York from Gen.
Cass in convention The Polk people are working
IN the same entrenchment against Mr.. Buchanan,
as II is charged.
With all the muster of courage, and the show of
enthusiasm out of DOORS the democracy to-day are
little scared.
All sorts of caucusslng and canvasslng are going
on tonight and all sorts of entertainments, includ-

weakness and ineifciency, that he is obliged, In
apology TO allude to the praises he received more
than quarter of century ago, for an article,
which, however il might have been then, certainly
would not be cons idered asvery striking IN Its
views, or verv ornate in its diction. His position
must be to him source of continual modification,
which even the recollection OF Mr. Jefferson's COM
pments, twenty years ago, cannot altogether
disslpate. In his present weakness, he declares
that he once strong, and calls upon Mr. Jefler-
son to substantae his averment. Alas, it is not
my desire either to discredt his witness, or TO
slight HIM for his intirmlties | only regret, in
common with others, that he has suffered himself
TO be used by Mr.. Polk long, and that he has
pernaciously chung to position, his untitness for

Capture of BWglus--Ihe Baltimore Nomina


irons, &c.
An important capture made last night, in
Spring Garden, of two burglars, in the second es-
adjustment that they had broken into. They first
broke into the counting-house attached to Rice's
lumber yard, at the corner Of Sixth and Coates
street. and, in order to get at the contents of the
fire proof, poured large quantity of powder into
the keyhole, and applying slow match, left the
premises. One named Charles Lutz, being new
beginner and umid, walked away before the train
was fired, and had got three or four squares of,
when the explosion took place. but the other George
Race, who was leader in the expedition, had not
gone square. They both returned and finding
that the explosion had not brought any persons
to the spot, found the chest shattered, and
It's contents at their mercy. From this place
they proceeded to the iron railing establish
ment of Messrs. Hines and Adamson, at Twelfth
and Buttonwood streets. AS they entered the pre-
mises they were perceived by the private watch
man. who gave the alarm to the watchmen OF the
district. Two of the latter entered by bursting
open bank door, and succeeded In capturing both
of the robbers. Race had revolver with him,
each barrel of which was loaded with two slugs.
They were taken to the Spring Garden watch
house and placed in cell. During the absence Of
the watchmen they made an. attempt to escape,
and had they been absent five minutes longer would
probably have succeeded las they had made breach
in the wall large enough to put their head through
Their participation In the robbery at Rice's, was
detected, by finding pock et book they had stolen
from the former place, thrown into a keg on the
premises where their capture was effected. 1t is
thought that Race has had something TO do with
the recent daring acts of lncendiarism
The public are anxiousy looking for the Bati-
more nomination; but II seems now nearly far
off as ever, the question in relation to the New
York delegation Is still unsettled
A man. calling himself Anderson, attempted to
drown himself this afternoon, at Camden, but was
hauled out by some spectators, un harmed.

embraces wide range of particulars, all oil
which may be stated in the general term

other agency, affecl the system, for harm a
for good, according as they are regulated up
on scientific principles, or disrcgarded in
kind,quantily, and quality, as in society is al
most universally the case.
ToBAcoo- This pernicious life and health
destroying substance, so much used by the
American people at this day, we shall do un-
ccasing and perpetual war against.
