The Southern Administration lead
ers are undoubtedly looking to dis
solution of these States. There can
be no question as to this purpose. 1t
is their main, if not their only, object.
Not only does the action of the Seed

whole current Of Southern Administra.
ton action in Congress, proves it..
Their refusal to lcgislate in favor of
any of the great elements of Northern
industry-thcir hostility to the home
stead--to the Pacific Railroad-and;
to the river and harbor bili--their de.
cree against the admission of Kansas,
and their open and daily reputation
of Judge Douglas, are SO many efforts
to widen and deepen the breach be-
tween the North and South. The Rich
mond Disunionists are to complete the
preparation for dissolution, by max

the Democratic party, and by raj.

so as to throw the choice of the next
President upon the Senate, and thus
enable the minority Of the electoral
votes to control the Government for
the next four years. This is the pro.
gramme every hour becoming more
broadly and distinctly defined.

The Democracy used to be great
sticklers for regular nominations, but
it appears that, at Baltimore, this
"great principle" was thrown aside
by the Douglasites SO far as certain
Southern delegates were concerned.
After the Charleston breakup the reg
ular Democratic Committee of Gcor-
gia called State Convention, which
reelected the Charleston
delegates to go to Baltimore by vote
Of 29S to Al. The Al then withdrew
and appointed the National" Doug
las delegates In Alabama there
was a similar proceeding. The regu.
ular convention re-appointed the sece.
dcrs, while another convention under
the lead of John Forsyth, of Mobile
chose a new delegation. OF course
these factious proceedings were insti
gated by Douglas.

eight or ten little boys have for seve-

marbles. They are no doubt sent to
school by their parents, but SO infatu-

they absent themselves from the

A compromise Homestead Bill was
agreed on by the Conference Commit

Notwithstanding all this effort on the
part of Congress, our Democratic Pres

promptly retocd the Bill. 1t is clear

a contest
Baltimore Incidents.

On Thursday night Baltimore was
indeed an excited city. Every body
knew that the Convention would break
up in a row the next day. Speeches
were made to various crowds all
through the evening. Yancey made
a great speech. He denounced the
Douglas faction as small men, with
small, selfish measures. He said they
are like the ostrich with his head in
the sand, and didn't know that its
ugly, ragged body was exposed. He
said whoever charged him with being
disorganizer and disunionist lied.
He boldly denounced the Douglas
speakers at the other stand as petit
foggers and towards. The crowd
gave him nine cheers.
At eleven o'clock, Hunter of Louis
ana concluded scathing speech. He
said there were members of the COM
mittce on credentials who should not
cross his threshold +; a lady Of his fam
lily should not speak to them. They
were without honor or decency. The
Douglas men had Dragged continually
and in Dragging lied, and they knew
they lied. They talked Of Douglas
carrying the South. The Louisiana
delegation would bet million of dol
lars that Douglas couldn't carry one
Southern State. He dared Douglas
men to bet. He said Douglas and his
followers were bankrupts in pocket
and in principles that they were
pro1igates and imposters, and thei'
mask should be torn from them aud
their black deformity exposed. He
spoke of fighting and his readiness
for it.
At one of the Hotels about one in
the morning, drunken Alabama dele
gate, who had quarrellcd with an Hi
nois delegate, went to the lattcr's room
to shoot him, but couldn't get in.
Next morning it is stated two Vir.
ginia delegates went out to fight a
duel. The names of the parties and
the result, have not transpircd. Bad
blood and bad liquor did their work
Thursday night was an awfully drunk
en- time among the delegates and out
siders.
A delegate from each State waited
on the New York delegation to sec
what they would do. 1t was found
that majority of two, only, of the
delegation was in favor of the MAORI
ty report on credentials. So the whole
matter hinged on two New York dele
gates.

convention met on Saturday, Gov
Todd OF Ohio was placed IN the CHAIR
