Ut We give below few Of the last ballot
! ings at the Baltimore Convention.
1t will be seen by motion that was made TO-
wards the close of the ballotings, that the Con-
yention came very near breaking up in row.
| By the adroit management of the Presiden. of
the Convention the motion, however, was not put
And as the friends of the popular and distinguish
ed candidates gave up the contest; there was
no chance for a nomination at all, unless the votes
should be given to Pierce, which the delegates
finally reluctantly agreed to do for the sake of
achieving harmony (O which they succeeded in
doing, the bunker papers tell us, in five days, af-
ter forty nine ballotings:
| The amiGble feeling betceen the friends of
| Cass and Buchanan During all the balolngs
up to the 10Th, whenever the name of Gen Cass
was mentioned, the galleries resounded with ap-
plause, and when Mr.. Buchanan was alluded
| to Kisses were heard. Col. Black of Penn,
rose and spoke in strong terms of Indignation of
such proceedings and asked of the convention
that the galleries he cleared.
I A member Of the Georgia delegation request
ed that they be entitled to two members on the
committee to form democratic Platform. The
convention refused to consent. The chair re-
quested that the several delegations would send
the names of individuals appointed by commit
tees for nomination TO the democratic committee
of the United States.
I Mr.. Elias Brown of Maryland, moved that
Virginia be passed over and allowed to record
her vote hereafter, and that the convention pro-
coed to another ballet. The convention refused
to do so. Virginia delegation is still out The
/ Virginia delegation returned and the convention
then took the Goth ballot.
! 34th ballot-Cass 1870; Buchanan 60 Marcy
SO; Douglass SO; Houston 5; Dickinson Is.
When Maryland was called, Mr.. Spencer
rose and spoke of making some concession. He
said the Maryland delegation was for Cass, but
were willing to vote for any good democrat If
other members were of the same spirit, a nomi-
mutton could be made in 25 minutes
On The above vote Virginia changed from
| Buchanan to Dickinson, which created much
! feeling. Mr.. Dickinson took the floor, and in an
interesting speech, withdrew his name from the
canvass. In continuation, he said he was sent
here to vote for Gen. Cass-he had done SO, and
would continue to do so. He concluded by re-
turning thanks to his friends, and to the deera-
ton from Virginia, for their kindness in casting
their vote for him. This speech was met with
laundering applause, and bouquets were shower
ed upon Mr.. Dickinson from the galleries
The convention then proceeded to the 35th bal
lot.
Cass 49, Douglas 50; Marcy "A; Bucha-
SO; Pierce Is; Houston 5; Butler /; Dickin-
son l.
On this ballot Rhode Island went back to Cass,
which was received with immense applause from
the galleries.
Mississippi changed her vote, and cast it for
Marcy.
Georgia voted for Douglas. One of the Geor-
gia delegation protested against it, as not being
the voice of the union democrats of Georgia
The Virginia delegation retired for consulta-
ton, and during the time the chairman announc-
ed the committee of one from each State to Sc
lect a National Democratic Committee.
On the 35th ballot, Virginia cast her vote for
Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire, which Gre
ated much sensation. The Convention then pro-
ceeded to the 36th ballot

So il appears that all the harmony of the hunk
ers has been achieved by an agreement to catch
and return runaway negroes to the South accor-
ding to the Compromise and the Fugitive Slave
Law.
