1t will not, we are certain, diminish the energy
or zeal of the good citizens who are uniting them
selves, at this moment, to vindicate the fair name
Of Baltimore, and establish, orce more the do
minion of decency and law--to know that the
degrading scenes for which they blush and suffer-
have been chroncled, upon the other side of the
Atlantic, as a stain not merely on ourselves, but
on the whole people of which we form part
The paragraph, which follows, is taken from Tie
London illustrated Neacs of August goth, where
it forms conspicuous item of the 'FoREIGN AND
COLONIAL News" under the head of ''UNITED
STATES" We congratulate ourselves that the
disreputable details which it embraces are credited
TO kilograms and not to the EXCHANGE.
"The following kilograms contain curious illus
trations respecting American freedom of election:
PRIMARY ELECTIONS IN Observation-Disclosures, Au-
gust 2.-The American party holding their primary
elections tonight to select delegates the City Nomina
ting Convention There is a great deal OF rowdyism
The baloboXes in the twentieth ward have been smash
ed to pieces and reported that in the sixth ward two
men have been shot The struggle is between the
dies and the respectable portion of the party the in
dications are that the former will be successful.
y p M.-Pistos being freely used in some loca-
ties man named Sullivan has just been arrested in
the sixth ward for firing large horsepisoI loaded with
slugs Thomas Rowe has been shot in the knee and Will
liam Thompson in the leg. There are reports of violent
proceedings in other parts of the city,"
Will it be wondered at-when the whole nation
and its Institutions are thus made responsible for
such proceedings-that the press of our sister CT
ties should claim the liberty of commenting on
them as they merit? Surely they may do so, in
all honesty and good faith, without being in the
least degree jealous of US, or of our trade We
can only escape the reproach, by casting off the
yoke which deserves it.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST l. 1859

Successful there will be cause for new agitation
among the Southern democracy In reference to
the Charleston Convention.
Mr.. Buchanan, in bis letter from Bedford
Springs to Mr.. McCandless, Of Pittsburgh, which
we published yesterday, says" My deteruiua-
ton, rot, under any circumstances, to become a
candidate for re- election, is final aud conclusive.
My best Judgment and strong inclination unite 10
favor Of this COURSE" aad he further says that
any doubts upon the subject are calculated to
afford "a pretext' for saying that the measures
of his administration shave been dictated from
desire to be re-poninated." These frank aud
earnest assurances lease not peg to hang
doubt upon, Thus, while Mr.. Buchao an Is right
In relieving himself Of any ground of suspicion
in the premises, be leaves the democracy every
where perfectly free to take their own course for
this man, that man, or the other.
These Southern August elections, ia view of
these repeated declarations from Mr.. Buchanan
that he is not candidate for the next Presi.
dency, will be conducted upon other issues
but, if the results do not convince the
Southern democracy Of the policy of sticking
to bis administration, we shall be some what mis-.
taken. We know that the black republicans
desire such succession of defeats to the new
Southern opposition movements, from Kentucky
to Texas, as will leave no choice to the Northern
opposition conservatives but one side or the other
offs sectional contest; but we expect that Ken.
lucky and Texas to-day, and North Carolina on
Thursday, will do something conclusively in "a
vor of great third party for 1860. The results
Of these elections of the next four days will go
very far to confirm or destroy the sectional cal
culatons Of W. II. Seward, Stephen A. Douglas
and Henry A. Wise.

peitEer were equal or willing to confront, ia al
most universally believed. Should auy difficulty
arise, then, among the other Powers as to
the r. cogntiou o. the terms settled at Zurich we
may find the condition of Prussia among other

gees a. Zurich, we may expect - see tue o's-
satisfaction already expressed in Eir"t " 10
toe terms of peace become more widespkead
than before. The more the question is discuss ~
the more unpopular the peace seems to become
outside of France. Even the London Post, the
organ Of Lord Palmers'on, so favorable to Louis
Napoleon heretofore, is venturing to discuss the
subject with evidences Of dstrust AID discon-
tent 1t would seem that a diplomatic combina-
ton is contemplated against Napoleon the Third
on the same plan as the military combination
was formed in Europe against his uncle. But
the astonishing successes which have marked
the course of the French Emperor in the late
campaign, and bis brilliant coup diplom 1tq~ at
Villafranca, have given him the lead in Europe,
position from which it may require very
powerful combination indeed to displace him.

him back to repeat bis follies, he wrote to him

him came Hon. Scion Borlaud, who was sent

wrote many letters, got disguised, and came home,
shooting negro boatman on the way, probably

ment by poor Pierce and Captain Hollins; and
then came Mr.. Minister Wheeler. He commenced
with fuss in Philadelphia about bis niggers,
went out to Nicaragua, recognized Walker, was
called home, would not resign, aud SO was turn
ed out to make way for Gen. Lamar. His mis-
sion does not yet belong to history, and so we
forbear to touch upon it. We will only say that
be, too, comes home in disgust. The Pre-
sident recently rendered this mission to Hon.
D. M. Barringer, who wears modestly the honors
be 90 well won In Spain at the time when that
mission was harrassed with the prisoners of the
Lopez Cuba expedition. Mr.. Barringer declined
it, for he saw too plainly that this post is little
more than political death for any public man.
Such is the history of ten years in the Mexican
and Central American missions from this country.
1t will continue to be repeated in the future as
long as the present pernicious system of appoint
ment prevails-of finding places to suit men, in-
stead of men to suit the places

long speech from Mr.. Wade, during which
he was severely catechised by Mr.. Clay. the
amendment to Mr.. Mason's resolution was re-
jected. yeas 22. nays 80. The resolution was
then unanimously adopted, yeas 55. After
an executive session the Senate adjourned.
HoUsE--Mr. McRae charged the Republi-
cans with delaying the orgs nization of the
House by nominating for Speaker, a man
who bad recommended the Helper book and
asked the Southern Oppositionists 10 co.
operate with the Democrats. He said that
the northern Union meetings only expressed
the sentiments of the Republicans.
Mr.. Vallandingham said that nobody who
recommended Helpers book ought to be a
member of the House, and asked an adjourn
ment which was refused, a second attempt to
adjourn was unsuccessfuliy made-finally
the House adjourned at half past five by two
majority.

PRoPosED BENEFIT TO Mr.. KEEBLE-It will
b. seen from the note addressed To Mr. WALTER
KEEBLE, and published in this morning
PATRIOT, that number OF the citizens OF
Nashville have rendered him compliment
tary benefit at such time as may suit his con
venience, as mark OF their appreciation OF
his character as u gentleman aud of his
abilities as an actor. We trust he will ac-
cept the benefit thus rendered, and will name
an early day for il to come off.
Mr. KEEBLE came among us an entire
stranger at the opening of the season, and in
the brief space of time that has elapsed, has
made host of friends aud admirers. who
will not soon forget his gentlemanly and up
right bearing in private life, nor the splendid
ability with which he has invariably acqni,-
ted himself upon the stage. Few actors have
ever taken 80 strong hold upon the good
will and esteem of the frequenters of our
theatre, and we know that he merits it all, to
the fullest extent.
Should Mr.. kEEBLE accept the benefit ten
dered him, it is safe TO say that the honse on
the occasion viii be one of the very best Of
the season. He deserves bumper, and he
must have it. .-.---
