THE STATE CONVENTION.

On Thursday Of next week the duty will
devolve upon the delegates of the various
counties assembled at Des Moines, to
name for the Democracy OF Iowa their
standard bearers in the present canvass
We are glad that no effort has been made
by any of the Democratic press, to forestal
or influence the action of that Convention
by urging the nomination Of any particular
man or men TO the exclusion of Others. -
No man has any claims upon the Demo-
cracy for nomination, and we trust that
the Convention ia the selection of candi-
dates will look wholly to the fitness and
strength ofthe men. Six years of Republican
domination has created in the public mind
in Iowa, an unmistakable desire to have a
change Of rulers, and change of finan-
cal policy. Year after year, and term af.
ter term, the same men have filed the
State offces-drawn their comfortable sa
Iaries-cared for their particular favorites,
and increased the public expenditures and
indebtedness. Again, the vo,ers of Iowa
are called upon by the Republican party
to continue these men in office and Danish
all hope of more prosperous condition of
affairs. Let therefore the Democratic party
do its duty-nominate men of known in
tegrty, ability, and tried fidelity to the
people-men who are not seeking mono,
ply Of place and position-who are uncon.
connected with the extravaganza and
frauds that have characterized the past
few years in Iowa, and We believe that
they will be endorsed and triumphantly
elected BY the people. With an united
party rallying around the heroic aud irwin.
chile DOUGLAS, the battle will be animated
and our victory complete. Thousands of
the conservative voters of Iowa will Join
in the vindica.ion Of true men and correct
principles.

FROM MARYLAND.

A friend at Cumberland, Nd, commu-
nicates to US summary Of the proceed
ings of tho Baltimore Convention, but as
the news has been anticipated by our daily
exchanges, we omit that part of the letter
relating to the proceedings, and append
the following extracts, which will give our
readers some idea of the light in which the
secessionists are regarded south Of Mason
and Dixon's line. Our correspondent
says:
To-day, Saturday the telegraph informs
me that STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, of Illinois,
and BENJAMIN FITZPATRICK, Of Alabama,
were nominated for President and Vice
president-.hc former receiving one hun
drcd and serenty-tpo and a half votes.
The Southern Senators and members of
the House have been cndeavoring, for sew
eral years, to break down Mr.. Douglas
with the Democratic party. Failing in
this they resorted to personality, in which
he showed himself the superior, by treat
ing such acts with the utmost contempt.
Their delegates went to Charleston with
the determination of substituting Con-
gr ssional intervention for the principles
which they aud the Democratic party have
fought for, and triumphed in, three Presi-
dental elections; and because m majority
of the Convention determined to stand to
the old principle OF nonintervention. the
Disunionists, not only Of the party, but of
the Union, seeded from that Convention
They came 10 Baltimore and have done so
again, drawing off with them few others
Little Doug has thus been sustained in
his actions by the people Of Illinois, by a
large majority Of the National Democratic
Convention. and will be most triumphant
ly sustained by large majority of the
popular Dem ocratic vote Of the country,
in November next. Ten thousand cheers
for him, elected or defeated.
The Disunionis!s contaminated their
treachery to Democratic principles, to day
by nominating John c. Brecken bridge, of
Kentucky, and Joseph Lane, of Oregon
as candidates for President and Vice
President. Death and destruction await
these gentlemen, sure. J,H.

THE POSITION OF PARTIES.

The contest is now fairly begun. Great
changes in the present prospects of candi.
dates and position of parties are not un-
looked for-but what those changes will be
or how they will affect this Or tina. cand-
date, no ono is prepared to assert. The
Republicans first in the field, always base
their hope Of triumph more upon the pop.
ularity Of their candidates, and the excite
ment and enthusiasm of the Northern
masses, rather than upon the soundness
and safety Of their platform Of principles
In 1856, they were peculiarly fortunate in
the selection of nominee, who could
awaken the enthusiasm Of tho people, and
still more fortunate in having Q state of
affairs in Kansas which excited the popu-
lar feeling andindignation, and turned the
swelling tide in their favor. Not so now.
Lincoln possesses none of thoss elements
which made Fremon, so strong; and there
is no bleeding Kansas" or outraged
Sumner, to enlist the prejudices of men on
the side Of Republicanism. There is now
distinct and positive issue before the
people. The question whether the Terri
tories shall be governed by Congress or
by the people themselves, must be met
and decided. No appeals for mere party
effect and success, will be allowed to over
ride the main and vital question.
Upon this issue the Democratic party
divided-those adherins to non -interven
ton have chosen for their standard, bearer
the illustrious champion of that doctrine
while the fire.eatiug Secessionists of the
South demand Congressional interference
for the protection Of Slavery, under the
lead of Breckinbridge. Those who hatter
themselves that the success of Douglas is
rendered any more uncertain by the Bolt.
ers' nomination, greatly mistake the
strength of his position and the character
Of the masses. We have a vigorous and
healthy organization in every State of TIE
Union, capable Of making formidable and
in mo-, cases, successful battle against al
opposition. The persecution that Douglas
has endured, his fidelity to principle, the
courage and ability with which he has
comba.ted all his opponents, have sndear'
ed him to the people, and excited ,hei1
warmest admiration. Besides, Lincoln ant
Breckenridge are pledged to the same
odious doctrine of Congressional interior
ence and Territorial subjugation. They
differ nothing in the principle-but only
in the application of the principle. Tn.
one would use the power Of Congress te
exclude, the other to protect Slavery
while each ignores the idea tina. the peo-
pie are capable Of self-governmens. lie
Democrats arouse themselves for the con.
h;ct, and sec,ionalism in the North, ant
dissension at the South, will be effectuall,
put down.
