History of Political Conventions.


 In 1S44, May the 1st, there was nation al convention held by the whig party at Baltimore, representatives from every State in the Union being present, and nominated Henry Clay for President and Theodora Frelinghuysen for Vice President and on the 29th of the same month, the democratic national convention met at Baltimore and nominated James K. Polk and George NJ. Dallas. This brings us down to period within the recollection of the boys.
 In 1S4S, Class, democrat, Taylor whig.
 In 1852, Pierce democrat, and Scott whg
 In 1856, James Buchanan democrat. - The whig party disbanded its national or ganization, and the southern wing, calling themselves the American party, ran Fill more. The northern wing took the name oi republican, and run Fremont. All these were nominees of conventions, and were run for President
 The practice in this country is older than the government. Our forefathers held con- ventions before the revolution, and long before the adoption of the constitution, not only for the purpose of redress of griev- ances and to consult about the best policy to be pursued in matters of government and politics, but to select the men best calcu lated to carry oIlt those measures of policy the one being just as necessary as the other Suitable measures cannot be car ried out without suitable men. So our fore fathers thought.
 Conventions to consult about measures of pubic policy and to select the men to make the laws, and administer them, have no ter TOT for honest patriots, and are odious alone to tyrants, and selfish and disappointed politicians, and partisans under their inAu- ence. The Declaration of Independence was the work of convention. The con stitution of the United States was framed and adopted, as far as they had the power, by self-constituted convention. in secret with closed doors, by a convention of dele gates who had been elected and sent to Philadelphia for different purpose.

THE STORM.

BY ADELAIDE A. PROCTOR. The tempest rages wild and high. The waves lift up their voice, anC cry; lime answers to the angry sky,
 Miserere Domine Through the black night and driving rain. A ship is struggling ail in vain To live upon the stormy main,
 Miserere Domino. The thunders roar, the lightnings glare, Yam IS 1t now to strive or dare; A cry goes up of great despair,
