The Baltimore Convention.

We scarcely need express our heartfelt graft
cation at the action of the National Wing Con-
vention, which met in Baltimore last week ,sndthe
proceedings of which are published elsewhere in
this paper Never has the party occupied q more
dignifed and commanding position than at the
present time. The Convention was imposing
on account OF the number and character of its
members-many Of whom are among the ablest
and best men of the country-but chiefly on &C.
count of the motives which brought them to-
gether. The attendants of other political con-
claves may be accused Of seeking their own
personal advancement, as the reward of party
services but in this case no suspicion Of the
kind can be entertained. The Wing party has
no patronage to dispense-no rewards to bestow,
and consequently no camp followers to pick up
the spoils of victory; nothing but unalloyed pa
triotism could have induced them to assemble in
general Convention. Called forth from their
homes by patriotic feelings, they have taken
counsel with an eye single to the good Of the
country, and multitudes heretofore wavering
must be influenced by their decision. We hail
it as an suspicious event, and while We never
falrered in our support Of Willard Fillmore the
enthusiastic endorsement of him by the National
Wings of the Union, as the MAJ for the times,
has increased our zeal ten fold. The Conven-
ton was, take it all and all one Of the grandest
popular assemblages that ever convened in this
country. As an Indication of the interest e1cit-
ed by il, the Baltimore American states that up
to Friday evening orders for nearly 100000 cop
les OF the supplement of that paper containing
the proceedings had been received.

THEY GIVE IT Up.-We take tho following
paragraph from the Washington Organ. The
indications are unmistakeable that Buchanan
will be beaten Overwhelmingly in the State Of
Pennsylvania. He really has not the ghost OF q
chance there nor are his prospects in any 9TH
err Northern State whit more bright:
"a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat, now
in this city, admitted, yesterday, in conversation
with friend of Willard Fillmore, that Pennsyl-
vania would 60 against Buchanan, and that he
had no prospect whatever OF an election to the
Presidency. Such, also, he stated was the O.
pinion of an intimate friend of Mr.. Buchanan's
and an associate with him in the cabinet of Mr..
Polk
"Our own advices from Pennsylvania are OF
the same tenor. A gentleman of this city, re-
Gently returned from a tour through Pennsyl-
vania, reports the excitement there against the
Democratic party as altogether Unprecedented,
and assures rs that the anti-Democratic majority
at the October election will not be less than 3d.
900!
sWth such facts before them how can the
conservative men of the South longer hesitate
in uniting as one man in support of Mr.. Fill
more. They may rely upon it, that if Mr.. Fill
more be not elected, Mr.. Fremont will be-"

+ The ENTESTE CoRDIALE.--The London Star,
as the advices by the Arabia inform US, hints OF
the existence of less cordial feeling between
England and France, As consequence of the
policy pursued by the latter towards Spain, and
sees also in the disposition manifested BY Eng
land towards the United States desire to cult
vate our good will by Cancellation and conces-
sion. The Star is more distinguished for its a.
bility than for reliability. Thoroughly republi.
can in its opinions, and siding always with the
people against the aristocratical bearings of the
British Government, it is not in the way of re-
ceiving special revelations from Downing street
as to the feelings or purposes of the ministry
Nevertheless, though it only guesses at the ex-
istence of facts, there is q good deal of shrewd-
ness in the speculation, and much of probability
TO bear it out. A cordial and thorough UNDER
standing with this country, even thoug'i having
in it nothing of the features of an alliance must
be of great moral benefit to England, and must
increase her continental influence in Europe
notwithstanding the professions of the French
emperor, we may presume that the Napole-
onic policy of extension and conquest is
still strong with him, and that the present
condition both of Italy and Spain are tempta-
tons to the pursuit of that policy which he has
found it impossible to altogether resist. Eng
land would be as much opposed now as in the
elder Napoleon's time to this spirit of French
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; but her influence on the cont.
nent would be less now than then, and the
strength of Austria Prussia and Russia, which
was thrown against the first Emperor, would
probably be arrayed on the nephew Of his I'M
Gle" Under such circumstances, which are of
quito possible occurrence in the present shifting
state of European politics, England would need
all the encouragement and support that would
be given to her by having the friendship and
the moral support and approval of the American
republic.

A Good Argument.

In his speech before the Baltimore Conven-
ton, Mr.. Granger, Of New York, incidentally
made remark which should tell as an effective
argument upon all admirers of Daniel O'Connel
aud sympathisers with the cause of Ireland
He alluded to himself as constant, answering
Wing, having no connection with any other
party, but said "While phianthropists thro'-

O'Connell, that all he asked for his country was
that Irishmsn should rule ireland, l make no

"A letter from New York on the 18th says:

for the present week is undoubtedly Fl. w
Beecher's speech at the Tabernacle last night
This RECOGNIZABLE preacher of the Sharpe's rifle
dispensation is certainly doing yoemans service
in the army of the "Prince OF the Power Of
the Air" At all events, he is q proficient
in the use of the ETHEREAL element over which
that potentate is said to have especial dominion
and in its use there are those who think he has
not the discretion to know who he is going to
strike, friend OF foe For instance, he is repre-
scented thus to have referred to Mr.. Fillmore
'sMr. Fillmore does not say whether ne is in ia
vor of slavery or in favor of freedoul-he thinks
them both very good-he is half and half
man" There are those who think this very
eligible position for public man while the ex-
tremes cry out with Mr.. Beecher the "balot-
box or the cartridge box" Mr.. B. also furnish
ed the following information: "On Monday,
Mr.. Fremont was waited upon, in body, by
Rev. DR.. Dewitt, Rev. DIR. Adams, Professor
Hitchcock, and several other gentlemen, among
them one of the editors of the Evangelist and
asked by them if he was educatedas an episcopa-
liam. He replied to them that be was. They
asked him ii he had any reason to deny that
such was the case. He said that he had not.
They then asked him if he is Roman Catholic
His reply was that he is not and never has
been" 1t is thought the Charleston Courier
may yet find shook on which to hang q
doubt"
