from each State appointed permanent off
GERS. A committee was appointed to cx-
anime credentials, &c. A proposition was
made to exclude alternate, and all delegates
over q certain number, to which each State
was entitled, caused an exciting debate, ow-
ing to the crowded state Of the room. The

Democratic National Convention.

The following Telegraphic account of
the proceedings Of the Democratic National
Convention, we copy from the Memphis
Eagle & Enquirer
BALTIMORE, May 81, 1852.
To-day has been one of political excite
ment cauc,.sing and specializing. The
friends of Cass, Douglas and Buchanan are
hard at work Six hundred friends of
Buchanan have taken Carroll Hall, and
have arranged bountifui supply of deli
cacies, to which several thousand tickets will
be issued. The general impression is that
the Cass men, on the second ballot, will 90
over to Buchanan and Douglas; as to the
third ballot, no one attempts to make a
guess. Cass is believed to be out of the
question, and New York holds the balance
of power. The cars this afternoon, brought
large numbers of delegates and strangers.
BaItimore, June 1St-The city is
thronged and great excitement prevails
The Buchanan men are working hard and
are now engaged in caucus with the Virgin
la delegation. They will stick to him to
the last as resolved upon this afternoon
Gen. Butler has written letter, declining
in favor of Cass, who, he says is entitled to the
nomination He calls upon his friends to
vote for Cass, and to consider himself out
of the field so long as Cass is in it. 1t is
thought the friends of Cass will unite upon
Butler, should they be compelled to desert
their favorite.
The Cass men suspect that the Maryland
delegation is inclined to go for Douglas
Lookers-on think that Douglas or Butler
will be nominated The Georgia difficulty
has not been settled. Governor Lumpkin
stands firm for Cass, and will contest the seats
of the Mississippi delegations unless it is
amicabiy arranged There are 46 dele
gates who claim seats. Either Mr.. Davis,
of Indiana, or Cave Johnson, Of Tennessee,
viii be President of the Convention. The
friends of Gen. Houston are urging his
claims with great energy. The New York
delegation is said to be divided between
Cass and Douglas.

To that sweet home among the hills.
Go. freightcd with my earnest love,
A I'd tell to her the thought that fills,
My weary heart, where'er rove.
g., talk with her when none are nigh,
And Of my word no meaning miss,
OF Swallowed brow and fearful eye,
OF beating heart aud phantom kiss.
To that sweet home. go wanderer, go.
And to its inmates bosom bear, ~
The words that none but her may know,
The rising sigh, the heart felt prayer;
Go, take to her the thought that brings
Her sacred image always near.
Aud ask, amid thy questionings,
III, as once, ain still as dear.
Go, sit with her beneath the boughs
OF that large linden near the lake,
Where first we met and uttered VOWS,
And promised that not one should break
Go. sit with her, and tell her, "No.'

That votive pledge of long ago,
His hope aud faith are in it YET"

Mr. Giddings experience has quail

The Working Of the New System.

In another colum will be found a
commune alton from passenger in
the Sierra Nevada on her last trip
from Chagres, which is worthy of no.
tice as an illustration of the practi-
cal operation of our Commercial
Navy system. Messrs Law & Co.
receive bounty from the Govern
ment of S63s $50 per annum under
the pretext of carrying the mails be-
tween New York and California
With money borrowed from the gov
eminent or stolen from the Canal
Bank, or from government deposits,
the contractors build large and costly
vessels, and embark in a commerce
more productive and lucrative pro-
baby than any other carried on out
OF. this port, for the amount ofcapi-
tai and tonnage employed, Bee ause
this commerce was profitable, others
sought to share it, Ships were built
fitted up and sent out, but they were
embarrassed at every step by untore
seen obstacles thrown in their path
by the government pets. An Illus
tration of their mode of proceeding
against outsiders, is alluded to in the
ironical communication Of Incbor."
The steamer Sierra Nevada is put
upon the Chagres route. The "llli-
nois the best ship of the Law line, is
put on to run against her. This OPP
rositi n failing to discourage the pro-
prietors of the independent steamer,
Captain Hartstein, of the Illinois was
instructed to bring passengers from
Chagres to New York at any reduc-
ton of price which might be neces-
sary to prevent their going by the
Sierra Nevada, and hence on the last
trip, the fare was put down for steer
age passengers on the Illinois, as low
as $50 to S25.
This policy is pursued for the OBJ
vious purpose of driving all compe-
ttion from the route, that the old
system of high prices and bad fare
may be pursued with IMMUNITY. That
the monopolists may carry on this
species of warfare upon our com
merce with IMMUNITY, the govern
ment gives them an annual bonus OF
nearly seven hundred thousand dol
lars, enough to enable them to run a
monthly boat against Sierra Nevada
all the year round, free and yet de-
rive immense profits from their other
boats, which have no competition to
contend with.
Such is the practical operation OF
one OF the favorite follies of our wing
statesmen, and, we regret to add, OF
some protesting to be de mocrats.-
Under the preteNt of developing and
encouraging commercial enterprise
we find them voting away year after
year, millions of dollars, TO be used
like the seas, 900 given to Law Il Co.
in breaking down that very class up
on which the prosperity and growth
of our commercial marine mainly
reposes, the independent, energetic
and self-relying shipping merchant
to compete with the protected line

ALL FOR PlERcE.--The Norw egian
paper i'm Racine, which has formerly
been a free soil, has raised the
names of PIERCE and KING, and is
spreading the democratic fight among
its landsmen in this State.
The Emigration, at lnmansville,
Rock county, is doing good service
for the democracy. They have too
long felt the burden of aristocratic,
oppressive and expensive government
at home to wish to realize the same
here under Ga!phin whiggery.

Emigratiou from Ireland.


The London correspondent Of the
National MtclHgenccr, writes as fol-
lows, under date of August Goth:
The commissioners on the emigra-
ton report that the total emigration
from Ireland in 1851 was 257 ,372,
and that this year it will be consid-
erably increased. Another remark
able fact is, that this emigration Is
selfsustained; in other words, it pays
its own expenses, at least as far as
the United States and Canada are
concerned. The commissioners state
that last year there was either re-
mitted from America, or expended
for prepaid passages to America, by
Irish settlers there, no less than $780,
600 to enable their friends and rela-
tives to follow them to their adopted
homes. The number Of emigrants
from Irelandto the United States and
Canada in 1851 was 23S,0l6, the
whole cost of which, as steerage pas
sengers, would be Gs92,93l As o..
or nearly 100000 less than the sum
absolutely RENTED or paid, and
which was retained, no doubt, for the
use of relatives remaining in Ireland
This is a very suggestive subject
which we will not further pursue a
=, present. Ireland diminished l,6la
$50 in her population betwes. ~,
I and 1851, and the result of fair car
, culation is, that there was furthe
decreased 1925 last year. TAX
3; ing the United Kingdom as whole
the annual increase of births owe
t deaths will do little more than bal
ance the annual emigration. lrelan'
will decrease this year 2l5,lS3, Grea
? Britain will increase 227 ,36S. Flo
, the first time upon record, withou
, famine or plague, the population O
; the United Kingdom has becom
3 stationary.
Notwithstanding the TRADES W
' continually meet with about the SO
: cial and political Reorganization c
, Ireland, there is some evidence to b
J.; cleaned that it shares in the genera
!, improvement. Take few items c
\ advancement. The persons in prise
y in Ireland decreased during 1875
: from 1854 to 5000. The cases trie
a at assizes and quarter sessions were
k in 1850, 81 1876, in 1851, only 23,Gs4
The outrages reported by the cor
}. stabulary fell from 1869 to 9,l14
The persons receiving out door relit
/. had fallen from $685. on lst {
July, 1913, to 1895 on Goth Apr
1851, and to 349S on the oath Apri
Il 1852. The rate of mortality in work
p houses had fallen from 25 per 100
weekly to 5 } per 1000. The tota
, number of persons in the workhouse
i last oath April was S6,453, being
e reduction of twenty seven per cen
during the year. All this is yer
cheering.
