ra,- The Democratic National cODven.

sH- The Democratic National CoDven'
ton met at Charleston, South Carolina
on the 23d Of April, for the purpose o.
nominating candidates for the Presiden
oy and the Vice Presidency. Desperate
efforts were made from the start by the
Douglass men to secure his nomination
on Popular Sovereignty platform, and
equal efforts we're made by the Admins
tration party, in conjunction with the
South, to compel him to accept nonlna-
ton on Slave Code platform, or suffer
defeat before the Convention.
Thus things continued until the SOth
Of April, when the Douglass party tri'
uuphed over the South and Adninistra-
ton. At this the South became very in-
diguant, and the delegations from efgS'
Southern States Immediately withdrew
and several other delegations Withdrew
to consult with each other in reference tc
what they should do. Another uDdoubt-
ed proof of the =" Irreprcssible Conflict ,
Those who withdrew declared that they
would nominate an other set Of candid
stes, which We presume they have done
ere this. So We have every prospect OF
having two sets of Democratic candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
10 the field, in the impending Presiden'
tial campaign. Thus has fallen, an un-
willing sacrifice, the "great Democratic
party" to the powerful slave god, whom
they have worshipped SO devoutly for the
lest six years. This is the natural re-
suit of attempting to pervert the princi
Piles and policy Of this Government, for
base political purposes. Buy they fall
unmourned, for the Republican party is
bealty, strong and vigorous and stands
ready to restore the principles and poll
cy of this Republic to the original designs
of its founders.
This suicide, however, was entirely un-
necessary. as the Republican party will
on next November, cause those weary
Democrats, united or divided, to shuttle
of this mortal coil

A Good Selection.

We understand that E. Ell. RAUoH,
Esq, editor Of the Mawch Chunk Gazette
and late Chief Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, is talked of as Opposition
candidate for Senator from the Carbon
district. Mr.. Rauch won golden opinions
for the skill and fidelity with which he
discharged the duties of Clerk of the
House, and has done yeoman service for
Freedom and protection in little Carbon.
The country press has not too many con-
ductors so able, earnest and faithful as
Mr.. Rauch; and We regard the suggestion
of bis name in connection with the Sena-
torship as Oot less happy than deserving.
He would make an excellent run in the
northern part of the district, and, is be-
lieved to be iDsincible in Carbon. Success
to him.-RarriSbmrg Telegraph.

very much at his ease, knocking him
down or lifting him up to thro" him into

Sayers got in a few heavy blows upon
Heensn's mouth, and thereby staggered
the latter little, but it was quite appa-
rent that he could not hold out much long

he meant to break bis neck. Here Say

graceful manner, by pulling their mar
from HeenaD's s embrace, and kicking and
striking the latter to their hearts con
tent. The next round Sayers seemed te
como up only to gain time, probably IL
