DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CON
VENTION.


CHARLESTON. 6. G., April 23.-The
Convention assembled at twelve o'clock.
There was full attendance from every
State, and, as was naturally to be antici-
pated much interest was everywhere man
ifested.
Francis B. Flournoy. Esq. was chosen
temporary chairman; and, having brief
ly returned thanks for the honor thus
conferred on him. prayer WIS made by
the Rev Dr. IIanckell, of Charleston
WIN. +. Richie, Esq, of Virginia,
was appointed temporary secretary.
Much confusion and excitement was
occasioned by Dir. Fisher insisting upon
his right to present letter from the
Wood delegation, with a resolution attach
ed but the chairman decided the sub
ject out Of order
! A spirited debate took place on a re-
solution providing fas the appointment Of
committee on permanent organization.
Mr.. Barksdale offered an amendment that
inc committee shall consist only Of mem
oers from States where there is no con-
test. 1t was finally decided that the
New York and Illinois delegates should
be excluded from the committee on Gre
dentials by a vote of 81 AGAINST Al; and
the committee on organization was or
dered to be appointed without restric-
ton.
Credentials were handed to the Secre-
tary. Mr. Fisher demanded that Fer.
nando Woods letter be now read and re-
ferred to the Committee on Credentials
Mr. John Cochraue moved it be re-
ceived and referred to the committee
without reading; which. after much ex-
citement, was agreed to- This letter
protests against their exclusion from seats
in the hall.
The committee are now in session,
hearing arguments in the case.
The Convention adjourned at three
o'clock until ten Tomorrow morning.
- CHARLESTON, April 24.-The Con-
vention reassembled, and tne, committee
on organization reported Hon. CaleI
Cushing for permanent president, an'
one vice-president and secretary frOu
each State.
The report Of the committee on organ
iSation presents an additional rule, viz
That in every State which has not pro
vided or directed by It's convention no,
its vote may be cast, this Convention vii
rurrunn.af each aplega.a /

An ardent debate took place on this
rule; and among the speakers was Mr.
Randall, who declared that certain re-
fractory members i'll the Pennsylvania
delegation proposed to violate and mis-
represent their constituents in voting for
Douglas, whose nomination, in his opin-
ion, would lead to certain defeat He
entered upon review Of the preceding
action of Democratic conventions upon
shis subject.
Mr. Richardson inquired who made
che gentleman an expounder of Demo-
cratic principle and precedent. How
long had the gentleman been in the
Democratic ranks? This accustomed much
tumult and excitement, mingled with
cries Of :" Order!'
Mr. Richardson, however, proceeded.
He did not desire, after life's service
in the cause, to be rcprovcd by the re-
cruits of yesterday. (Applause.)
Mr.. Wright, of Pennsylvania, was in
favor of the rule, aud said, if harmony
did not prevail here, the nominations to
be made would not be worth the paper
on which they were written. He de-
mauded the previous question.
The vote was then taken on that part
Of the rule relating TO presiding officers,
aud it was unanimously agreed to.
Mr.. FlourDoy, in retiring from the
chair, delivered a short address, coun-
selling harmony. He denounced sec
tioDalism. and expressed the hope that no
further allusion would be made to d.
visions.
The Hon. Caleb Cushing, the presi-
dent, was then introduced, aud addressed
the Convention in truly patriotic and
eloquent strain. He was frequently in
terrupted by applause. lie said, among
other things, that ii was the destiny of
the Democratic party to strike down and
conquer the traitorous fanaticism ar
rayed against it.
After the seating Of the vice-presi-
dents and secretaries, and preparing for
formal and energetic enforcement of
parliamentary rules in the future pro-
cecdings of the Convention, brief recess
took place.
At twelve o'clock the Convention re-
assembled.
The question was called on the motion
to strike out the rule relative to the right
Of members of each delegation to vote as
they think proper, unless instructed by
the convention which appointed them.
The vote was ayes 101, noes 1913. So
the rule was retained.
The resolution offered yesterday for
the appointment Of a committee on resc-
lutions and Platform was called up,

tions of several States may withdraw,
but the whole delegation of no State, ex-
cept Alabama, viii DO so. It is gene
rally believed that the vote on the adop-
ton of the platform will be a test in re-
gard to the nominee. To secure concert
of action, the friends of Douglas have
appointed a committee of two from each
State to confer with each other. The
policy they have adopted in regard to the
platform, is to reafirm the Cincinnati
platform without any change, except the
addition of two resolutions, one which
will endorse the bred Scott decision, and
the other will declare it to be the duty of
the American government to maintain
the principle that naturalized citizens who
visit foreign countries have the same
rights, and are as much entitled to i'm
munity from inpressment in foreign ar
mics as citizens who are born on Ameri-
can soil.

Gen. HoUsToN AND HIS OPINIONS
That portion of the press which has no
sympathy with Democracy, and is ever
ready to join in any measure which
promises to cripple its influence, or APP
prove of any man who comes out in OPP
position thereto, is at the present holding
up the opinions Of Gen. Houston as
worthy Of great consideration. We have
no great opinion of the hero of San jan
clnto as statesman, whatever he may
be as mere fighting man. The eccen-
tricities of General Houston, his changes
of character and position have been too
great and too frequent to entitle his opin-
ions to much weight with those who regard
steady adherence to principle. Gen.
Houston turned savage for years, adopted
the blanket and paint for the dress of
civilization, became an Indian brave, and
fourished war club and tomahawk with
considerable eclat. firing of this free
life, he returned to civilized life, aud af-
ter little rest became Texan ranger,
protested democracy, and for his gal
lantry was honored and promoted. When
the Know nothing party started upon its
ephemeral career. Gen, Houston fell in
to its ranks and was champion there
for brief season. 1t was not long,
however, before he returned to Democra-
cy and eschewa9 SAM and all his deeds.
Now we find him out for bid from the
Unionists, denouncing that Democracy
which for very brief time since he ex-
pressed such love and devotion. This is
the man which the opposition quote as an
oracle of wisdom, and whose opinions
they are recommending TO the Charleston
Convention. 1t would hardly be worth
while for the convention to take much
time in considering the opinions of SO
versatile genius as Gen. Houston, as it
is more than probable before the election
comes round he will change his front
again. - Baltimore Republican.

lty of exercise. It is much better to wean
several together in the same yard.
In giving grain to colts 1 should object to
using any kind but oats, as this grain goes
mostly to form muscles and bone, While corn
or corn meal is heating; and any more roots
than sufficient to keep the animal in good
condition tends 10 fat, which is not wanted.
Colts should have all the good hay they will
eat, and water and salt Gd Iibituns.
If poultry are kept near the colts, exam.
inc carefully and often for lice upon them
rubbing the name or tail is indication Of
them. Should they be found, LOSE time in
driving them off. Animals cannot thrive
with these pests on them. 1 have used MANY
preparations effectually, but the most salts.
factory Isl half an ounce of arsenic in one
gallon of soft water; with this preparation
sponge the animal over; it will not only kill
the lice but the eggs unmatched. To mix the
arsenic, use a wooden pail, putting the arse.
mic in the corner and adding few Spoonfuls
of water rub the powder and water until
paste is formed, then add the water. This
should be applied in worm sunny day. An
infusion of lobeia is also good. When colts
are turned to grass, care should bo taken that
the hoofs should be shortened at the toe and
the edges rasped off to prevent breaking and
splitting, as well as to take off as much as
possible the strain upon the back cords of the
legs.
Another important point in rearing colts
is the practice of speaking to them in gentle
tone Of voice and frequently handling them
while by the side of the dam and after going
to grass, taking care not to throw anything
at them, but allow tdem to feed from the
hand. Never shout suddenly or loudly at
them. They are very sensitive and remem-
Der an injury long time.
I have practiced, Or, going to the pasture
to look after them taking few oats in my
pocket and allowing them to elt them from
my hand. Ifseveral are together they will
very soon learn to crowd around to get tleir
share, and become very docile. IF care is
taken to be always kind and gentle, little is
to be done in breaking except to teach them
to draw the carriage, they having learned to
mind the bit when quite young.
Many may say, 50 much care will not pay.
But if horses pay their rearing, they will pay
the care necessary to fully develop them as
early as possible Stock that will not repay
this care, is dot worth rearing.

Vermont Agriculture

We are not uufrequently reminded of thu
need Of all agricultural paper, particularly
devoted 10 the agricultural interests of Yer
mont There are many papers printed out
side the State which are literally subscribed
for and supported by Vermont farmers, il
hopes to get information useful and appica
BILE to this State. And in every case. and il
almost every instance, the information they
get is applicable to different climate, carrier
or later seasons, different soil, and treats
upon the cultivation of products which are
not raised in Vermont. For instance, Yer
mont farmers care nothing how to raise hemp
cranberries, grapes, peaches, pears, sweet po'
tatoes, and large variety Of other products
not valuable as an article of cultivation in
this State.
The farmers Of this State want informa-
ton upon subjects, and upon the raising Of
crops indigenous to the State. Every State
in New England, and nearly every one in the
North, has its State agricultural paper, while
Vermont, one of the most fertile and dissim-
liar States in its soil and products, relies
upon system of agriculture applicable to
interval, plain or low lands, instead of Gre
ating for itself an interchange of ideas
and experiments made upon soil exclusive
ly natural to Vermont. Let the farmers
take this matter in hand, and be free TO fur
nish information and discussions upon these
subjects, and We will guarantee Vermont
agricultural paper not whit behind those of
our neighboriug States. Give us your kidd
ly aid, both in communications and in asking
your neighbor to subscribe for the Green
Mountain Farmer. These long winter even
ings are just the time for this matter.

KEEP Stock WARM-Farmers do not pay
sufficient attention to the warmth of their
stock, but suffer them to roam about in the
open air, exposed to tho inclement weather
The amount Of exercise is another most i'm
portant point to attend to. The more an an
imal moves about, the quicker it will breathe,
and the more starch, gum, sugar, fat, and 9TH
er respirato elements it must have in its
food and il an additional quantity of these
substances is not given to supply the increas-
ed demand, the fat and other parts of the
body will be drawn upon, and the animal will
become thinner: a.o, as before observed, ev.
cry motion OF the body produces correspon-
ding destruction of the muscles which pro-
duco that motion. 1t is, therefore quite evil
dent that the more the animal moves about
the more OF the heat-producing and fest
forming principle it must receive in its food.
Hen e, we see the propriety of keeping our
cattle in sheds and yards, and not suffering
those particularly which We intend to fatteO)
to rove about, consuming more fod, and
wasting away more rapidly the various It's
sues of the body alrea y formed, and making
it mare expensive and difficult to fstten them.
