The state Conventions.

Our reports from the State Conventions are
quite meagre. 1t does not appear that either
wing used any efforts to compromise the quar-
rel. 1t is certail that the Convention called to
order by v E. Gciger Chairman of the State
Central Committee, according 10 Democratic
usage WAS the regu'ar Convention. And it
seems to US that the Douglas wing ought to
have gone into that convention, and staid there
un,il such time as the Convention should adopt
a platform that they could not stand upon. How
could they know that majority of the regular
Convention would adopt such platform until
they had chance to act? Holding Conven-
lions is worse than nonsensica, if one side, as
soon as it finds itself in tue minority, sets up
independently for itself Clearly our opinion is
that all the delegates from tie various counties
SHOULD have met together, and been called to
order by the Chairman of the State Central Com
mi,tee, and remained together as long as posi-
ble--the majority ruling in all questions, and
the minority submitting in al cases, except
where they thoaght Democratic principles out

Ave or six who fell short of the rocks, were

These forty escaped from the vessel to the
rocks, direct, the ste lmer having run close
ashore in the fog. Some were seen in the water,
and their cries were heard, but none came out
OF it, SO that they mast hare persisted in the
surf Along the beach. Yesterday, not n sign

would be lost so near the shore. and an excuse
for the accident is sought in the effect Of fog on
