General Whitney Of the United States Army At
Springfield was President of the Convention. lie
has a good voice and presence of mind, and air
knowledge of parliamentary forms; so he presided
very well. The General was one Ot the most eff
cent aud substantial members Of the Free-soh CO.
aiiiou of l-J0-j2. and voted for Charles sumner
on his first election to the Senate. | believe he
held off At first but finally having received instruc
q en- mo aff he
came in and gave his vote for Mr. Sumner Not
wthstanding this, Pierce gave him the appoint
ment of Superintendent of the Springfield Arm0ry
and thus he WAS permanently established as ma
tional man IN every sense of the word. He lives
ON the Armory grounds and cannot even vote in
tie city he represented. The Democratic party,
under its present management, Il approaching such
condition OF dependence upon the General Gov
ernment that il would be good idea, productive
of harmony and dangerous 10 lsms and new ideas,
10 have the delegates nominaly Gas they now are
in good part really selected from the Custom
Houses and other places of public employment.
Mr. Butler acquiesced, with as good grace as
possible, in the nomination OF Mr. Beach lie
threw in a remark or two, however, IN the course
of his speech, which Indicated that he Thought
there were other things to be- done as important as
the Endorsement of Mr.. Buchanan's Administration,
and that freedom from Federal influence would not,
on the whole, be a bad plank IN the Democratic
platform. He also came out for the admission ot
Kansas, without reference To the conditions lald
down in the English bill as to the number of lis In
habitants. After Kansas is admitted, he Is willing
that general rule as To population should be ap-
Piled Mr.. Beach also made speech, accepting
The nomination. Isaac H. Wright and b. +. Hal
lett were the other speakers. The only difference
between them is that fIaett is so universally des-
pissed that the Administration have kicked him
ANONYMOUSLY ont of Office while Wright Is so
utterly contemplate that no Administration viii
ever place him in q position from which he can be
kicked. Wright made by far the most decent
speech. He talked with loud voice against Sec
tonalism. and in favor of our undivided and glOri-
ous Union, which was all well enough. liallett, on
the other hand, was coarse aud vulgar in the ex-
uomc, following his usual custom, which Is 10

Mr.. j. c. Loveoy, Private Secretary 10 Collector
Austin, and brother OF Elijah T. Loyejoy, the mar
tyr, and Owen Loyeoy of Illinois, was Chairman
of the Committee on Resolutions. The Rev. j. C..
was formerly a Liberty party man, and preacher
in Cambridgeport. He quarreled with his parish
on the Maine Law question, and then went down
until he landed in the Custom House. 1t il re-
ported that Lovejoy. in committee. produced II Sc
ries of resolutions which, at the most moderate
calculation, il would have taken twenty-fou hours
10 read. Ii was an endeayOr on his part 10 make
the immoral law a. long as the moral. Iiallett was
which were not quite so long, and they were
seized upon. adopted without reading, aud put
through the Convention at brief notice. | do not
altogether credit this story. The resolutions are
probably the joint production of Loyejoy and Hal
lett. The one which denOnces the law relating
to town agents for the sale of liquor the ground
that il il legislative sanction of lntemperance
must be by LovejOy, for that notion is fayOrite
hobby ofhis. The Convention rejected il, it being
supposed, no doubt that an exhibition of conscien
t0usues. the subject of liquOr-sellng and liquor
making would not tend to increase the party
vote, a resolution adopted instead of It,
denouncing the Maine Law throughout. The qucs.
ton viii not, however, exert any influence on our
State election, on one side the other. The other
resolutions are of the usual sort. The Admnistra

and the doctrine that Slavery exists in
all the Territories until they organized as
States, is approved. 1t is just nine years since
llalett wrote his resolutions going in for freedom
. all over Gods heritage" and put them through |
the Democratic State Convention. This, however, |
was when the Wings We're the ius and all the Dem /
ocrats were out. This was about the time The I
Post was advocating a coalition with the Free !

but n0v that that is temporarily quashed, II hastens
to give in its adhesion. The weary are at rest but
