THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN BALTIMORE

In the Rational Republican Convention,
which recently met in Philadelphia, thsrs was
delegation representing the State of Mary
land, and one of them, Jacob Russell, asserted
that Republican paper was published in Bal
timore, and that the editor of it claimed two
thousand votes Cor the party in that city.
This attracted the notice of the Ea1tincre
Patriot, which repeated the statement, and
asked for information what paper Mr.. Russell
referred to. Mr.. Russell has promptly respond
ed, in letter bearing his own signature, say
ing that he alluded to the Wecker, German
newspaper published in Baltimore, which has
long since hoisted the Republican flag And
Mr.. F. adds, under date of the Gath, speaking
of the editor" 1 saw him to-day, and he reite-
rated that among his readers he claimed two
thousand for the Republican ticket"
August Becker, the editor in question, also
writes to the Patriot, and avows that he had
made t. Nr. Russell the statement repeated by
that gentleman in the Convention. and that It
is true. He says that he had always written
AGAINST the extension of Slavery, as his ante
cessor, the late ca. 2. Schnauffer, had done.

Lord Clarendon stated, in reply to Lord Der
by, in the House of Lords, that IL is not the an
tention Of lie Government to adrise the Queen
to suspend diplomatic relations toith Americ't.
The announcement was loudly cheered.
Lord Derby expressed his satisfaction with
regard to the announcement made by the Gov
eminent, but regarded the Governments course
as humiliating, and as an acknowledgment Of
error.
Lord Clarendon appealed to the House not
to join Lord Derby in pressing the question
and the subject then dropped.
The funds rose in consequence of Lord Clsr-
endon's statement. Consols for money at 943

TO the Editor Of the National Era:
The nomination of Fremont does not excite
very great amount of enthusiasm in this
State, from the fact that 80 many of our people
both desired and anticipated the nomination of
Judge Mclean. l think our Ant-Slavery men,
with much unanimity, will cordially support
the Philadelphia nominees. The platform is
considerably better than l expected. think
can stsnd on it, and preach from it nearly the
whole gospel of Freedom. 1t does not confne
US to the single issue of free Kansas, nor recog-
Mise any geographical line respecting our Ter,
ritories, but regards them as alike exposed to
the ravages of Slavery, and alike invoking its
prohibition by Congress. The restoration of
the Missouri Compromise, therefore, as an issue,
is finally AID suthoritatively handed over to its
place among the defunct political humbugs of
the day; white: the way made palm e, tie
people of our State to retrace their steps, and
rectify their present and past errors. Indeed,
the whole platform is to be commended, not
more for occupying boldly and unequivocally
so much true AntiSlavery ground, than for
omitting anything positively Objectionable.
The nominees of the Convention are by no
means nay Grst choice but, with my knowledge
of them, l am willing to trust them on the plat.
form on which they will stand.

meeting, New York, was the following:
WASHINGTON, June q, 1856.

mlttee OF the w hole on the state OF the Union.
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, moved that the bill
be laid upon the table, but the question was de-
cided in the negative-yeas LOG, nays l07.
The bill was then put to vote, and rejected
yeas LOG, nays l07.
The result was succeeded by clapping of
hands and vociferations of Joy by the opponents
of the BILL while the friends Of the bill exhibited
signs of disappointment and modification.
Amid much confusion, the House adjourned.
Tuesday, July l, 1856.
SENATE.
Two or three private bills were passed, and
Mr.. Colamer made minority report from the
Territories Committee on the bill Of Mr.
Toombs.
The bill granting the right of way for the St.
Louis and Iron Mountain railway through the
public grounds at Jefferson barracks, was dis
cussed by many Senators before the hour arriv-
ed for taking up the Kansas State bill question,
upon which Mr.. Thompson, of Kentucky, ad-
dressed the Senate.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Barclay moved to reconsider the vote of
yesterday, by which the Kansas Topeka State
Constitution bill had failed to pass.
Mr.. Houston addressed the House against
that motion, commenting, in the course of his
remarks, on the policy Of Mr.. Barclay upon the
bill.
Mr.. II. then moved to lay Mr. Barclays mo-
ton on the table; but withdrew that motion to
enable Mr.. B. to make an explanation.
Mr.. Barclay addressed the House in explana-
ton, and was replied to by Mr. Houston, of Ala
hama. and then renewed the motion to lay on
the table.
Mr.. Howard, rising to what he called ques-
ton of higher privilege, proposed to report from
the Kansas Investigating Com mittee, and the
question of that gentleman's right to make the
proposed report at that time.
The Speaker ruled his report to be in order.
Mr.. Orr appealed from that decision, and ar
gued the appeal.
| Murder of an Indian Agent.
A gentleman who arrived yesterday from
Kansas city reports that, on the 2lst inst, Mr..
VIM. Gay, an Indian agent, was attacked about
two miles from Westport by parties unknown,
and murdered. He was accompanied BY his
son. AS they passed along the road, they were
overtaken by three men on horseback, who
spoke to them, and passed on. In short time
these men returned, and commenced a CONVEX.
sation with them, asking them to drink. The
young man declined, saying that he never
drank anything, but the father took glass
| with them.
One of the party asked Gay what part of the
country he was from and on being told from
Michigan" observed, 81 believe you are a
ID Free-Soier," and Immediately blazed
away at him. The old man was unarmed, but
clenched his assailant, and got away his bowie
knife from him. Upon this, the other two fred
upon him and his son. Gay received FIVE shot
wounds, the last shot lodging in his right eye.
| The son was severely wounded in the thigh.
| The elder Gay soon expired, and an inquest was

of the gentleman who helped to convey the

Hards and softs.
The statement which found its way into print
day or two ago, and which l unwittingly
adopted, namely, that the General Committees
of the two sections of the Democratic party had
agreed upon uniting in single State Conven-
ton, was altogether erroneous; for, so far from
such being the case, after three days spent in
elaboration, not only have two separate calls
been issued, but the project for holding them
at the same time and place has been abandon.

and the Hards for the 9th of August, at SYRIA
cuse. The Softs in their call state the Hards
had refused to unite with them in the same,
expressing doubts of their power to unite in
joint call, and refusing TO admit the authority
Of the Cincinnati Contention in the premises; !"
but they invite delegates from all who are IA
vorable to the Democratic ticket, without ref
erence to past divisions. The call of the Hards
is worded as usual, but contains a respectful
