II A party Convention, as we understand it.
is designed to discuss matters of principle, and
to select for Office them man who truly represents
that principle and will most ably vindicato it, and
in this view of it, such Conventions are benefi-
cial. But how stands the case with reference
to this Congressional district. Some six differ
ent individuals desire to go to Congress, and are
canvassing the district to procure the nomination
Now, when this Convention assemblies, it will
moi be TO discuss democratic principle nor to look
over the district and select the best man, but it
will be simply to ascertain which of these six
men has been the smartest in drumming I'D
friends for the Convention. Is it certain that
these six men embrace among their number the
best man and the smartest man in the district?
BY no means; and yet it is not thought of for
one moment. that the Convention will 90 outside
OF these men to make its choice. 1t is then
mere scramble among men for office, and the
people are, by cry of Convention, regular nomi-
nation, and all that kind of thing, to lend them
selves to foist against their own interests, per-
haps unworthy men. into office. Is this democ-
racy? Our idea of democracy is, that which ben
efits the masses of the people, and we can see no
democracy in any thing else. 1t is our guide and
rule, and we should feel traitorous to the cause
if we allowed ourselves to be in any manner de-
laded into the support Of any thing, rot of that
nature. We then, urge the reelection of Mr..
Durkee, simply because, knopcing it to be for the
interest of the masses, we confident it is the
best kind of democracy ; and we ardently wish
that the laboring masses would see and under
stand that democracy does not consist in the OBJ
servance of forms and ceremonies, but in that line
of conduct which will directly minister to their
highest benefit

THE VOICE OF GRATITUDE.

WYNN. L. STEVENS.
Now. JOYOUS health has come again
To nv late worn and wasted frame
Where scorching feyers preyed;
With all nv sufferings still in view,
To those dear Friends my thanks are due,
Who fastened to my aid.
For oh when on helpless bed,
Nv health and strength and reason fled,
IT'S those VINO helped me then,
That would call name as dear
As ever fell on mortal ear
And that dear name is FRIEND
To those who kindly sought my bed,
And smoothed the pillows for my head,
With feelings warm and true;
With ready hand and willing heart,
Acted indeed brothers part
To those my thanks are due.
And unto those so kind and fair,
Whose generous souls thus prompts to share
The sorrows of the earth;
For them it is my heartfelt prayer,
That earths best blessings they may share,
And joys of heavenly birth.
And you, my SISTER kind and dear,
Who day and night vast ever near,
To cheer each lonely hour;
l would in glowing words express
TO you, my heartfelt thanhfulness,
But O! lack the power.
For every one who kindly came,
To cool that burning wasting fame,
Which coursed each swelling vein,
pray that God on them may pour
His blessings till their cups run DER,
Without one drop of pain.
And unto THEE, oh Power above,
Who rules in mercy and in love,
humbly bend the knee;
And thank thee, that thy hand hath stayed,
The fell destroyers glittering blade,
And granted LIFE to me.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

FRIEND BOOTH The Doughfaces here are
in excellent spirits. They feel sure of passing
the fugitive Bill, and the measure purporting to
be an act abolishing the slave trade in this Dis
trict. If the Senate Bill should pass in its pres
ent form, shall consider this modification of the
law, regulating the slave trade in The District,
more oppressive 10 the poor slave: than any law
that has ever been enacted by the General Gov
eminent. Its effect, instead of quoting public
feeling, it seems to me, must serve to arouse
the indignation of the whole North, always ex-
cepting the services.
The Fugitive Bill, think equally barba-
rous,
Truly Yours.

u The Fugitive Slave Bill has passed both
Houses and is probably before this law We
suppose it is in the shape of which we published
an abstract week or two since. Perhaps bet
ter SO than less outrageous, for its revolving ma

less. The law of the nations conscience is

The Suppression of Gambling.

4
Not less than Two thousand Men have for
years procured subsistence while avoiding USE
full labor of any sort in our city, by following
Gambling as profession. Some OF them have
been known as gentlemen, and, even when they
can no longer maintain the character in their own
eyes, are still careful to preserve its sembiance
in the eyes of others. Some are not yet prepared
to steal exceptin the way of their vocation 9TH
ers are ready for anything that will pay and does
not seem perilous. Yet none can doubt that
those who have kept corner of conscience so
far parting with it little by little, and that the
genteel sportsman of one year is the unscrupu-
lous sharper of the next and the foredoomed
swindler if not burglar of some year not far dis
tant. Many man becomes professional gam
bier without being thoroughly a scoundrel, but no
one continues gambler for years without be-
coming double-dyed villain. He may still have
thin varnish of what is falsely termed Honor
may hesitate to betray friend or compromise
a confederate, except under great temptation
but no thorough gambler has any respect for the
dignity of Man nor the purity of woman--no
gambler is restrained by principle from being a
libertine or even a seducer-no gambler strives,
desires hopes to leave the world any better for
his having lived in it. The gaming-tahle is To-
Gated halfway between the fashionable drinking
saloon and the brolhel-those who frequent the
first are generally drawn on to the second and
finish their training at the third, whence they
merge Gebased in soul, renegades from principle,
and ready for any lower deep which depravity
may discover The master-spirits of the Gam
bling fraternity are the ready contrivers and pro-
motors of every species of indignity and crime

ANOTHER FIENDIsH OUTRAGE.--The villains
that have caused so much damage on the Cen
trail Road are again at their work, but this time
their scheme was partially frustrated The
freight train coming in on Friday night passed
the spot without any difficulty, but the Passen-

the track torn up, and piece of it so arranged
as to throw the from the track, and if posi-
be cause the death of some gifts occupants
This how ever was not the result, as the engine
was but slightly injured and no harm whatever
occurred TO the passengers except slight deten-
ton. Active measures have been, and are still
made for the detection of the villains who thus
wantonly jeopardise the lives Of the community,
