SENATOR HAMLIN.

The only surprise excited by the Of Sena-
Hamn that he could longer cooperate with the
democratic party in the fact that he should deem such
formal declaration all necessary for the correct
Outstanding Of his position. His late action all ques-
tons which the subject slavery has been involved had
fully disclosed his antidemocratc sympahies that his
political classification matter Of doubt in the
Senate.
1t may seem little singular that the elegraphic an
nouncement Of Mr. Hamn's withdrawal from the demo-
cratic party should have produced enthusiastic cheering in
the know-nothng convention at New York. inasmuch as
his reason for his withdrawal had reference to the Kansas,
and not the knownothng question But it must be re-
membered that the knownothng convention was as much
black republican as know nothing and that its delibera
tons were looking to harmonious consolidation OF
those two elements of opposition the democracy to be
consummated Philadelphia the 18th instant twas,
therefore natural that there should be rejoicing in know
nothing convention, which thoroughly impregnated
with abolition the acquisition Of prominent recruit
from the democratic party.
Whilst have had frequent occasion to admire Mr..
Hamlins business talent SENATOR cannot withhold
qualification that with bis sentiments the Kansas
question: he formally sundered his connexion with the
democratic party, and avowed himself open enemy Of
its in the great contest which Is pending II
his convictions could have allowed him stand upon the
democratic platform, and battle for nominees, we
should have been much better pleased but prefer
an open enemy fahless friend have complaints
to utter at his formal withdrawal
We must say however, that we think Mr. Hamn has
been very ardy in taking his leave Of his old political
sociates since that be bases his withdrawal mainly
upon the repeal Missouri restriction and upon the deter
mnaon Of the democratic party TO adhere to that repeal
Surely has been hoped by Mr. Hamn since the pas
sage the Kansas BILL that the democratic party would
It's action that subject But in all Difference TO
his conscientious convictions the immortality and inn
proprety Of the repeal Of the Missouri restriction must
say that be win find II easy task to maintain his con-
sstency In uniting himself with party which has uni
formly repudated and rejected the Missouri restriction
from the year adoption down to the passage Of the
promise measures Of 1850 Perhaps too II win give him
some trouble to reconcile his withdrawal from the demo-
cratic party on Of Its alleged violation Of the Mis-
souri, compact with bis cooperation with party which
has not only In times past rejected that compact but which
now proposes a crusade against that highest and most
solemn Of all political compacthe constitution Of the
United States But presume that Mr. Hsmn has duly
considered all such suggestions these and that he has
deliberately chosen his future associations.

rHE KANSAS DEBATE IN the SENATE.

Mr. Butler occupied tho attention Of the Senate and
crowded gallery yesterday in his concluding marks
in reply Mr. Sumner We have undertaken to give
synopsis Of this great speech because Il Is purpose
possible to send il entire all Of readers II il
could be dispassonaey read by all northern would
procure an overwhelming Judgment Of condemnation
against Mr., Sumner When the excitement that pre-
walls shall have subsidized it wiz the admiration
ngs passion which designing demagogue have excited
There passages in 1t which win compare with the
Hottest efforts Of genius and eoquence in ancient or mod
ern times. Mr. Butler spoke under great excitement but
he succeeded far in REFRESHING and restraining his feel
ings to maintain throughout all the proprieties and
courteses of senatorial debate His remarks the freedom
Of debate the privileges Of SENATOR his obligations not 10
abuse his privileges his responsibility for such abuse and
the consequences of senatorial lbes will be read with pro-
found admiration, In the Of his remarks he quoted
with powerful effect the celebrated sentiment Of General
Jackson when he said that ought be written in letters
OF gold each door Of each house Of Congress that
she slandsrsr is Worss than The murderer
Mr. Wilson attempted reply to Mr.. Butler, and spent
most of his time in quoting and commenting upon express
sons OF Mr. Butler in several speeches made from 1859
down to the present time His object to show that
Mr. Butler had been the aggressor and that Mr. Summers
speech egtmaely reply these aggressions I'm
fortunately for Mr. Wilson, however Mr. Summers speech
reply to speeches OF Mr. Butler during the present
session and yet Mr. Butler had shown that in speech
at this session had he spoken to- about Mr. Sumner
in any way In reply to Mr. Wilson, this fact brought
forward by Mr.. Butler with crushing force showing
cusveIy that Mr.. Summers speech made with malice
aforethough and to crafty wounded pride which had
been ranking for four years #a
Mr. Clay of Alabama, called the attention of Mr.. Will
allusion in his remarks to himself and asked
him if he meant thereby to insult him. Mr. Wilson replied
that whilst he intended strongly to condemn former
mark Of Mr.. Clay he did intend to insult him. Mr..
Clay expressed himself satisfied and then proceeded in
brief but eloquent speech vndicate the Of
the remark to which Mr. Wilson had taken exception.
His remark had been applied specifically to certain

..# lOHh AND BALTlMOhE.
On the first page win be found excellent reports of the
great ratification meetings held in the cities of New York
and Baltimore Wednesday evening last together with
spirited sketches of the speeches delivered at these imposing
popular demonstrations by Hon. Messrs Douglas Howell
Cobb, Joseph Lane, Samuel A. Smith, William Wright,
James O. Allen Governor Matthews and other distinguish
ed democrats The meetings which have been held this
week in the three great cities OF New York Philadelphia
and Baltimore afford overwhelming evidence of the unity,
harmony, and enthusiasm Of the democracy well
their abiding n6dence in the entire OF their
principles and their candidates at the approaching
presidential election At very short notice and with
scarcely any previous preparations thousands and
thousands OF eemen have assembled in the open air and
with heart and with voice, have enthusiastically
responded to the nominations Of the Democratic National
Convention The distinguished gentlemen who spoke At
these great spontaneous gatherings of the people had
comparatively speaking easy task to accomplish for
their thrilling and eloquent appeals fell upon the ears Of
who fully and intelligen,ly advised upon all the
great before the country whose are deep
and earnest and whose sympahes for the good old demo
cratic cause have been reused that point that they
find vent in prompt and energetic action.
II is no, alone in the great Atlantic cities that the De
mocracy have gone FORTH in all the imposing weight Of
numbers and the irresistible influence Of enthusiasm
ratfy with joyful hearts the action of their representa-
tvcs at Cincinnati In the interior towns and villages in

Of the nominations Of Buchanan and Breckenridge have
been made-there We hear Of ratification meetingsnst

enthusiastic thanks of the people for the wise and patriot

THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.


To Judge by the breadth and depth Of the expression in
behalf Of the Cincinnati nominees the nomination pos
strength that cannot he shaken and the demo
cratic party stands movsble against the rage and storm
of faction
In New York city all classes unite in approval The
Sun caims first to have nominated him. and speaks for the
masses their general support The Journal of Commerce
says Mr. Buchansns election will be considered guaran-
tee for domestic quiet the basis Of the constitution and
for friendly relations with foreign powers We think
can promise him liberal support from the commercial
community Of this city,
The Of the stock market confirms this opinion
and points to confidence and calm.
Even Mr. Buchanans opponents concede bis excellence Of
private character and gcntlcmanly qualities Thus the
Tribune says 1t gives pleasure to recognise in the
Cincinsa,i nominee Cor President respectable in
every personal relations good citizen and neighbora
Of fair talents and unsullicd private character He IL
the Embodiment Of worldly prudence and unfaering dis
cretion.p
The New York Mirror says In the same spirit aMr Blu
chsnan is Of eminently respectable character and
talent and the very best and strongest the democrats
could have named lie sn be hard candidate TO beat
But II is Of the democratic strength Of this nomination
that desire 10 speak Every democratic paper in the
Union unes In its support approves IL pledges its columns
to IT. and promises II success
That promise win be redeemed The camps of the know
no,hngs and black republicans win be marshaed together
aud united If possible under head This Is the old
game Of opposition and has but pa aloy, fail,
Men be transferred like cattle at the behes party
leaders When the amalgam is made there is always a
resduun and this sometimes outweghs the mixture The
Americans will not consent all TO rally under biserepub
lcan leaders, and the black republicans will some OF them
hesitate to enter into the upon and creed The
united opposition win fall far short in iu strength Of the
aggregate numbers of the two divisions.
The Middle States win support the nomination, and give
1t majority without trouble II s easy always for the
Norhwesto be democratic and still easier to give their
represented by candidates congenial
The South will sustain the candidates for the sake the
Thare remains New England only for a battle
ground and there the democrats likely win
States in this contest as in any of the past
The democrats Of the Union had found their strength In
the nominations their opponents win find their weakness
