Battle Ground Convention

There were some features about the great
Battle Ground Convention, that stand out in
bold and prominent relief, to attract the at
tention of those who have bestowed a single
moment to a study of its character and pro-
ceedings.
First, the array Of talent that was there
concentrated from all sections of the Confed-
crazy. Never, perhaps, has there been q po-
litical assemblage, of any party. in this coun-
try, where SO many able and distinguished
public speakers were called together, as the
one at the Tippecanoe Battle Ground, on
Wednesday and Thursday last. The North
and the South, the East and the West, were
strongly and ably represented. There, upon
that consecrated spot, the VOWS of fealty to
the Constitution aud the Union were renew
ed, and new ligaments added to the ties that
bind together the hearts of the North and
South in one common brotherhood,
The second great feature in this most re-
markable gathering, was the number Of
States represented. By g comparison of
notes, it was ascertained that there were in
attendance, citizens from twenty-six of the
thirty-one States of this Union. This very
fact alone furnishes material for much
thought aid reflection. A political meeting,
of a local and temporary character, more nu-
merously represented by States than the
Nationally Convention of one Of the great
parties of this country, for the nomination of
President and Vice President Well may
the Democracy feel proud of the pre-emi-
nent nationality of their party, when it is
established by a fact like this. The number
present who. in former times, occupied dis
tinguished positions in the party opposed to
the Democracy, but who now heartily Join
with them in their efforts to preserve and
perpetuate this Union, is another fact that Is
in itself a history. 1t is a tribute to the
purity of purpose and ~soundness Of policy OF
the time-honored party whose pioneer and
founder was the immortal JEFFERSON, such
as no party in any country on the face of the
globe ever before received. 1t 10 an honor
which they may be proud to wear, and
which they should ever most gratefully
cehrish.
Such are a few of the features connected
with this Convention-a Convention which,
of itself, may be said to constitute an epoch
in the history of the Democratic party aud of
the country.

From the North Carolinian.
The Spirit of Proph ecy.

We noticed in the Argus, a short time ago,
a prophetic article as to the result of the
Presidential election in the several Southern
States I; and, we must confess, that in the
Isaiah-like spirit of the article we found
much to admire, and any quantity of hope
blightisg, soul-depressing and spirit crushing
representation. We are prone to conclude,
from the result of the Gnhernatnria election,
that North Carolina will most certainly give
Mr.. Fillmore a majority of at least sixty-four
thousand eight hundred and forty-seven votes
and a fraction. We are driven, by a painful
array off facts and precedents, to a mournful
admission that Mr.. Fillmore's majority in
Kentucky cannot fall short of ninety thou
sand; and we are grieved to the very bottom
of our boots when we reflect that the indica-
tons in Virginia are that eigbty-three thou
sand is rather a low estimate of the majority
which Mr.. Fillmore cannot fail to receive in
the Old Dominion. Will any sane man pro-
tend to deny that Georgia will roll up, from
the seaboard to the mountains, less than fifty
seven thousand majority for Fillmore and
Donelson? Can it be possible that men
laying claim to common sense and rational
Judgment will shut their eyes to the inference
that there will be no electoral ticket but that
of Fillmore run in South Carolina? Is there
an individual so lost to all sense of his W
reputation for common foresight as to deny
that Fillmore's majority in Louisiana will at
least reach nineteen thousand four hundred
and eight? We trow not. In the fact of
repeated defeats and overwhelming routs, can
the Democracy of Mississippi hope to writhe
under a less majority than a hundred and
,avan tbouSond for Eillmora
And can broken-spirited Locofocoism, in
that glorious State which claims as her sons
the immortal Donelson and the no less re-
nowned Brownlow, lift up its head and pray
for less majority than thirty-nine thousand
for Fillmore? Alas for Democracy in Mary
land I! Senators Pearce and Pratt lave in
sured Mr.. Fillmore a majority of seventeen
thousand one hundred and eleven. And
summing up the whole, 1--WE write with a
faltering pen and tears in our eyes, the ag-
gregate majority for Fillmore, to say nothing
of Donelson, cannot, by any stretch of ex-
ertion on the part Of the Democrats, fall short
of 527 $685. votes in the Southern States we
have enumerated. Fremont will carry Texas
by a huge majority; and Missouri is rather
doubtful. In fact, the only State upon whose
vote we can place any Democratic reliance is
Rhode Island, and we cannot swear by her.
Our Know Nothing contemporaries will please
not copy this article, as we are ayerse to the
extensive propagation of such disheartening
intelligence. We can only assure our own
readers that the same undertaking spirit of
truth, and the same sound judgment which
distinguish the heightened columns of the
North Carolina Argus, have suggested to us
the propriety of putting the Democracy on
their guard, lest they may experience the
truth Of the adagc, Pride goeth before a
fall.

Ths journal and ]. D. Bright.

The Journal has been disappearing
every Democrat who spoke at the Palmer
house or Tuesday evening last. There
seems to nave been a studied purpose to do
50, on the part of that paper, which every
individual who is connected with the press,
and who has a due regard for its character
and reputation, must most sincerely regret.
Among those whose remarks were thus
State. The journal represents Nj. BRIGHT
as having said that the present canvass was
a contest between the North and the South.
Mr.. BRIGHT said nothing of the kind. He
spoke Of the aims and purposes OF the Abo-
litionists-of their sectional views and acts,
of their sectional platform and sectional can
didates, and then said that so far as they were
concerned-so far as they could make it such
the present contest was one between the
North and South. To prove more clearly
that the journal intended to misrepresent
Senator BRIGHr's remarks about the section
alism Of the present canvass, only one simple
fact is necessary. After Mr.. BRIGHT had
spoken as we have stated, he Immediately
added that the Democrats, both North and
South, repudiated this sectionalism, and that
so far as they were concerned, the contest was
a truly national one. Their platform was
national, their candidates were national, and
were endorsed by national men in every
State Of the Union.
MI. BRIGHT took just as much pains to
declare thas, with the Democracy, the con-
test was not one between the North and the
South, as the Journal takes to show that ne
stated the reverse Of this. Here, where Mr..
BR1sHr's speech was heard, the falsehood OF
the journal would be harmless. But, mas
much as other Abolition sheets are repeating
it, we take this occasion to refute and ex-

State men in Kansas. We must prevent it,
simply by increasing the power of this or
ganization. If this is done, the lecturer
pledged himself to furnish men who would
put themselves under bonds that Kansas will
be a free State. With this help we shall be
able to put twenty thousand more men there.
But how?
The men in the towns might be collected
who are going West, but have not decided
positively as to what part Of the West, and
asked If they would not form a colony, and
carry with them the school and the church,
and other advantages, with the understand
ing that the company will put a steam-mill

up to the crossing, switched off, and after a
long delay, in consequence of the number of
trains on the track were run up to the Battle
Ground. We went up on this train, and
missing its return, were most perplexingly
detained there until about four O'Clock, the
pleasures of the meeting not compensating
for the deficiency of matter necessarily fur
nished our readers last night, as a necessary
consequence.
APPEARANCE OF THE
Within the enclosure, four stands were
erected for speakers, with seats surrounding
them for a limited number-as many OF
them as would be likely to be seated at any
one time. The main stand, at which Judge
Petit presided, was very near the graves of
the Kentucky heroes who fell at the battle of
Tippecanoe, and a cord with American flags,
and a banner upon which were inscribed the
names Of Daviess and Owen and several
other of the patriot companions in arms and
in death, pendant therefrom, was stretched,
as nearly as possible, over the graves. The
stands were more or less decorated with flags
and banners.
Outside the enclosure, there was the APP
p%earance of young California city. Tents
and temporary buildings, erected for the oc-
casion, were spread all about, whilst, on the
west, down in the valley, were the encamp-
ments of hundreds who came on Tuesday
night, with their canvass dwellings, and in
many cases their camp equippage and cook
ing utensils. In the woods too, were wag-
ons and horses, scattered in every direction.
II EXERCISE.
We gave yesterday the opening exercises
on the Ground, including the speech of Hon.
John Petit, the President ofthe Convention
and noticed, to some extent the order of the
proceedings afterwards.
The remarks of Mr.. Breckenridge were
most eloquent, and drew from the crowd, at
times, the most rapturous applause, whilst
again, he held the people in breathless sus-
pense by his patriotic eioquence. His con-
Guiding remarks were in the happiest vein,
and will be remembered for years by all who
