EEOn the outside page will be foundan
article headed political "Reminiscences" in
which it is stated, latter the sixth ballot
Mr.. Buchanan obtained 1855 votes" &c.
That is a mistake. 1t was on the sixteenth
ballot Mr.. Buchanan received 1853 votes,
and Mr.. Douglas 1872, whereupon, Mr.
Buchanan having a majority, Col. Richard
son Of Illinois, read a dispatch from Judge
Douglas asking that his name be withdrawn,
and that his friends should vote for Mr..
Buchanan. His reason for this was, that a
candidate receiving a majority Of the votes
of the Convention was entitled to the nomi-
nation, Notwithstanding it required two
thirds to nominate.

against it, lacking ten votes of the required
two -thirds to adopt. Absentees s.. The
vote remains open yet for the absentces, but
the result will not bo materially altered

a test vote. and the majority report will
probably fail of adoption by four or fse
votes.

Richmond Convention.

The Washington Constitution is very So
~licitous about the Richmond Convention,
and contends that the seceder's Convention
at Charleston did not adjourn SINE die, but
simply adjourned over to Richmond. The
Charleston Mercury gives precisely the op-
posite version of the matter. The Mer-
curry says that the Convention did adjourn
sine die, and that the Richmond Conven-
ton is an entirely new and independent
gathering. The Mercury argues that the
delegates who may be appointed to the Rich
mond Convention will hot be authorized to
attend the Baltimore Convention, and that
the seceders have dissolved completely their
connection with the regular Democratic or
ganization, whose representatives will meet
in Baltimore on the 18th of June. This is
precisely the view we take Of the matter,
and we are satisfied that those counties in
Virginia which have requested their dele
gates to attend the Richmond Convention
previous to going to Baltimore, did SO with
out fully understanding the question. This
mistake was clearly made in Harrison coun-
ty, as will be seen by the paragraph we pub
lish elsewhere from tue Clarksburg Regis
ter. There are not 500 Democrats in the
State who have any sympathy whatever
with the movement of the seceders. We
care not who the Richmond Convention may
nominate, Virginia will give 10000 ma
ljority for the Baltimore nominee, whether
he be from the North or the South

BaDtist Association.


The Association Of the Baptist Church Of
Virginia is now holding its session in this
place. A large number of delegates and
visitors are in attendance, among the latter
many ladies.
The Association met Thursday evening
in the Baptist Church, and was called to
order by the Rev. Thos- Hume, Of Ports
mouth. The following officers were then
elected
Elder W. F. Broadus. President; Elders
Addison Hall, Thos. Hume, David Witt,
and Robt. Ryland. Vice Presidents ; Thos.
J. Starke, Treas, and Alex. P. Abel,
Secretary.
On taking the Chair, the President thank
ed the Association for the distinction Civ
en- him, and invoked the divine blessing on
their deliberations.
On motion, messengers from Correspond
ing Associations and visiting brethren not
delegates, were invited to take seats and
participate in the proceedings. Several
Names were handed in, among them mis-
sionaries, ministers and others.
A committee Of five was appointed to re-
ceive and enrol the names of all the dele
gates.
Committees to nominate new Boards; on
Business, and q Preacher and alternates,
and to propose q time and place for the next
session of the association, were appointed
The hours Of meeting were fixed IS follows
Meet at 9 o'clock, A. NJ. adjourn at 123:

adjourn at will. 1t was resolved that half an
hour of the opening services each morning
be employed in prayer and devotional exer
cises.
The association then adjourned till 8 O'Clock
to attend preaching.
Long before the hour arrived for service
the meeting house was filled to OVERLOOKING

Psalm, LIST verse, as follows:
Except the Lord build the house, they
labor in vain that build it except the Lore

The eloquent preacher spoke of the uniol
of human instrumenality aud Divine aid

To Democrats.

We are about to enter into q very excl
ting and interesting campaign for the Pres
idency. II is our purpose to throw all tho
energy ans capacity We possess into the
contest, and to make the indicator an USE
full auxiliary ofthe Democratic party. The
paper lie published for the benefit Of the par
~, and we have a right to expect an active
and q liberal support, We therefore ap
peal to every Democrat in this and the ad-
Joining counties to exert himself in Extend
ing our circulation. In proportion to the
number of papers we send abroad is infor-
nation disseminated and the true position
Of the party understood. We earnestly So
licit our friends to go to work and help
build up the organization by literally pat
ronizing the organs thereof. We promise
to do our part.i if the members of the party
throughout the county will do theirs. Who
will be the FIRST one to send US a list Of new
slbscrib, r. with the money inclosed?
E We are indebted to the Hon. NJ. A.
Otero, delegate from New Mexico, for a
copy Of his speech delivered in Congress
several days ago. We have perused the
paper with interest. 1t is very clear that
the citizens ofNew Mexico suffer from the
depredations of the Indians, and that there
should be a regiment of Mexican volunteers
raised Immediately. We know from actual
observation that the regular troops cannot
do as effective service against the indians
as the Mexican volunteers. We think,
however, Mr.. Otero predicates his demand
on a mistaken idea when he assumes thai
the NavaJoe Indians are mainly the ag-
gressors in the difficulties in New Mexico.
We shall allude to this subject hereafter,
and apply the scalping knife to the corrupt
officials who hang like a mildew over the
interests of that Territory. The Governor
and Superintendent of Indian Affairs fol-
New Mexico are a disgrace to any admins
%tration, and living libels upon honest men.
EY The only two papers in the Valley,
which sympathise with the seceders at Char
lesion, are the Clarke Journal and the Char
lestown Independent. To show their Democ-
racy it is only necessary to state that they
both supported Boteler, Know nothing, owe,
Faulkner, Democrat, for Congress. TIE
Journals intense Southern affection was
significantly exhibited in its publication vol.
UNFAIRLY and from choice, of the prospectus
Of the New York Tribune, the rankest abo.
lition paper in the United States. The his
tory of these two papers is q sufficient anti.
dote to their attacks upon the regularly or.
ganized Democracy. They were conceived
in a spirit of rebellion to the organization
and usages of the Democratic party, arc
nothing else could reasonably be expected
from them.

THE 81 E!GsaO IN THE SOUTH.

The correspondent of the Cincin.
nati(: Commercial, attending the
Charleston Convention, has been look.
ing at the :'institution'' as it is. Read:
The Southern people who addressed
negroes within my hearing during the
the Journey to this point, spoke much
more kindly to them than negroes are
in the habit Of being spoken to in Gin
cinnati. There was, as general rule,
the kindest demeanor on the part of
the whites, and the greatest difference
and perfect submission on the part Of
the blacks. That intense horror of a
nigger because he is a nigger, which
we see in the North, does not exist
here. "A 'boy"---they call all the six
foot darkies down here, grey headed
or not, "boys". Twas very polite to a
gentleman and lady at one of the sta
itions.s The "boy" was going down to
Charleston. The gentleman said to
him: ''Yon'rc very polite and thought
ful to-day" The boy smiled with in
tense pleasure, and replied: 80 yes,
masscr, l allus polite, I allus polite -
''That's right,'' said the gentleman,
"you're a good fellow" And the bow
ofthc boy, if'nade by one of our sham
negro minstrels, would bring dow,
the house. AS the lady was turning
away, she stopped and said to the t'boy,''
whose eyes and ivory flashed as Sic
did so.-."William, be a good boy in
Charleston don't let any of the bad
fellows lead you into temptation there
These are her very words, and the
tone in which they were uttered, made
them genuine. "William" repeated
his bow and if an Ethiopian statute
representing perfect felicity were wan
ted, he would have answered excellent
