TIE Democratic Coarention Of 1914.

Cass 83, Johnson "a. Second ballot-Van Buren,
l27, Cass "a, Johnson 80. Third ballot-Van Bu-
rem III, Cass 90, Johnson SO, and so on till the
eighth ballot, when Van Buren, received 1O4 votes,
Gen. Cass Id. james X. Polk, who was nomi-
mated, Just previous to taking the vote, by Mr..
Hubbard, of New Hampshire, who saw that nei-
Their of the old nominees could get the required
majority, received Al. The Convention then
coming to Mr.. Hubbards views, unanimously vo-
ted for James X. Polk, who was declared the

subj ect for reporting rules for tho government Of
the Convention aud Deen referred to them, as
Wen as the selection of permanent officers, and
mad not discovered their mistake till they came
into the hall, when they found that it had been
made their duty toreport rules
Alter some conversation Mr.. Thompson moved
to take upa resolution which had been previous
" submitted, requiring the Committee on organ
lzation to report rules; which motion was agreed
to, and the resolution passed.
Three several motions 20 adjourn till this NOR
ming followed but they were all voted down by
large maiorities.
The Committee on Organization then retired
and soon afterwards returned with their reportby
which the Hon. John w. Davis, of Indiana, was
nominated as the permanent President of the
Convention, and thirty gentlemen for Vice Presi-
dents, (belng one from each of the States repre-
scented, besides nine Secretaries.
The nominations were all confirmed by the
Convention without any dissenting voice.
lhat part OF the report, however, which pro-
posed rules for regulating the proceedings of the
Convention was not disposed of with the same
unanimlty. Its prominent features were the re-
commentator of the adoption of the Rules of
the House of Representatives in regard to debates,
Nc.; that all votes in the Convention should be
taken by States; and that the two-thirds rule
should govern the balotings for candidates for
President and Vice President of the United
States.
The latter portion of this report was objected to
by several members, and a delegate from Ohio
moved to strike it out, on the ground that its ten
dency was to stultify the Convention, by prevent
ing majority of its members from selecting the
candidate of their choice.
This motion was voted down by an overwhelm-
ing majority; which decision elected much APP
plause, both in the Convention and among the
spectators.
The second part of the report of the Commit
tee, including the two-thirds rule, was then
adopted; and subsequently motion to reconsider
it caused some excitement but the Convention
promptly rid itself of the subject by laying the
motion to reconsider on the table-the vote by
States on the question having been reported, ayes
2e3, noes 13, ia mistake, by the way as South
Carolina is not represented, although the Repor-
ter observed several gentlemen from that State
present IN the Convention as spectators.)
The Convention adjourned for the day between
seven and eight o'clock.

The Washington Union and Mr.. Wise.


The Union of Tuesday contains the following
letter from Mr.. Wise:
WASHINGTON, May 80 1859.
To tile Editor Of tile Union:
Sir; In your paper of yesterday the goth inst under
the head OF The Position of the Democracyn the States
observe you say: 49,
THE resolutions of the Virginia reform convention in
tro1uced by Mr. Wise, and which unanimously
adopted set forth that Wholesome difference of opinion
exists as to the measures of compromise recently
by Congress- yet regard them setlea ent of the
questions which have SO long agtaed country; that
there is eaough left of the Union and the constitution to
constran us to rally to their Defence and sacredly to
cherish that which remains the dearest treasure be-
queathed by revolutionary love-" &c.
Permit me to say that such resolution was offered in
the Virginia REFORM convention and resolutions what
ever IN relation to the of COMPROMISE were
offered IN that convention OF Virginia and no such resoIu
ton was offered by me in any convention of Virginia.
IN convention OF the democracy OF Virginia held in Feb
ruary 1851 at Richmond offered series of resolutions
which were adopted and have beer generally publ he'd
but there among them no such resolution that which
quoted above cannot conceive upon what authority
this error was committed. Will you please correct t.
and oblige, Yours respectfully ~
HENRY A. WISE.
The Union in reply, cites an article from the
Winchester Virginan of October last as authori
ty for its statement. It also reproduces at full
length the resolutions offered by Mr. Wise in the
Democratic caucus, consisting of members of the
Legislature and of the Reform Convention The
Union argues that these resolutions sustain the
substantial accuracy" of the Virginian's state
ment, but not one can be found in the whole Sc
RES which gives the least countenance to that pa
per's version of their import
The Union appears to be determined to place
the Democracy of Virginia on the Compromise
platform, even against their will, but it might as
well abandon the attempt. The Democracy of this
State as a party have never endorsed the Com
promise, and all the Unions efforts to show that
they have done so will prove utterly vain and fruit

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-On Thursday, an oil
gentleman, Mr. Hugh Gill; of Gilmer county, cal
led at our office and informed that he had beef
robbed that morning, the dividing ridge be
tween the waters of Middle Island and Fink
Creek. about Is miles from this place. Mr.. Gil
had been up to Wheeling, or that neighborhood
for the purpose of obtaining means to carry hin
through the coming season, he having recently EN-
igrated to Gilmer county. On the Tuesday nigh
previous he had stopped at the House of Ephriam
Bee Mr. Bee directed him the nearest road to
this place. On Wednesday night Mr. q. stopped
at Mr. Browns, on the waters of Middle Is
land. Early on Thursday morning he left Brown
and on turning the brow of the ridge above
toned, two men 70 up and with pistols at his
head, called him to deliver his money. He gave
them his pocket book, containing $780, The rob-
bers seached him, and discovering that the money
given them all he had, gave him volley of
curses. One of these highway gentlemen gave
Mr.. Gill dollar to bear his expenses, and then
they both galloped off. One of the robbers is de-
scribed as being small, sharp looking young man
with black hair and whiskers, riding sorrel horses
the other was large man, and riding grey
horse
Mr.. Gill thinks he saw the same men on the
boat coming down the Ohio and is confident he
saw them on the Northwestern Road on Tues
day. He thinks they were of the impression that
he had large amount OF money, and had follow
ed him, watching an opportunity to commit the
robbery. The notes recollected We're three twen-
ties on the Northwestern Bank and three tens on

The St. Louis Republican of the 22d instant
says
We learn from gentleman, who came down
on the Clara yesterday morning, that the cholera
has been raging to some extent among the emf
grants the plains causing considerable of
panic among the trains Our informant is one
of number who started for California some time
since, but returned in consequence of i'll health,
says there was quite an excitement amoug the inn
migrants in consequence of the death of great
number of persons among them from cholera
many of them were deserving their trains, and
turning their steps hOmeward.
Holidays train, which left ST. Joseph few
days before our informant did, had lost some Sc
ven or eight persons and it was rumored that the
detachment of U. S. troops under command of
Major Stein, en- route for New Mexico, had suf-
fered some loss previous to reaching Grasshopper
Greek. There yet few emgrants re-
manning at St. Joseph, preparing to start for the
plains, not many of them it is supposed will be
deferred from attempting the trip by discourag-
ing reports daily received from the advance
trains.
There was much less sickness at st. Joseph
than during the past week, but now and then
case of cholera was heard of. Business was be-
coming quite dull again. 1t is to be hoped that
these alarming reports from the plains are mucl
exaggerated, as such reports almost invariably
prove to be.
