IRISH AND YANKEE W1r.-There are
not many men in New England who can
equal Mr.. John G. Wyman in ready wit +;
but it seems he was put to the test dur
ing bis recent excursion to Chicago. At
one Of the stations at which the train
stopped for wood and water, the crowd
demanded a speech. Mr.. Wyman, who
had teen elected to speak at this place,
should a speech be demanded, went firth
and mounted a cart attached to an ass.
The moment that Wyman shouted "Fel-
low ci,izens!" the donkey responded in
n Of his loudest brsys. Nj. Wyman
re,orted, "Fellow citizens-I am inter-
rupted by a Democrat This was rea-
dy and occasioned great merriment; aud
so did the retort of the owner of the
donkey, an Irishman, who exlaimed-
No, you ar'nt interrupted by a Dimi-
crat! IT'S yer brother shafts spakin to
yes aud askin' yes to whisht! Wyman
bowed to Pat and retired.

e. Quite = little scene took place
in the doleful Convention of Monday
last, caused by the secession Of the East
Baton Rouge delegates, who merely
claimed their seats for the purpose of
telling the Convention that it was a
bogus concern, and had no right or au-
thority to act. In the published report
Of the Conventions proceedings, we do
not ind the reasons assigned for the re-
d1ieg of those delegates nor n copy of
their protest against against its action.
Why so? Great care seems to have
been taken to preserve and publish all
written or printed documents which IA
vored the objects Of the Convention
and only those. The proceedings of
that Convention are not correct without
the protest Of the East Baton Rouge
delegation.

DIED.-In the city Of Charleston. at
half past past eleven o'clock, on Thurs
day the Sd Of May, 1860, that venera-
bic individual known as the great Nat.
ional Democratic party. The deceased
has been quite puny for about thee
years, caused, as some Of his friends cou-
tend, by a dose OF poison given him ly
a Doctor Douglas, but others attribute
his death to dissipation and riotous Iiv-
ing. The truth is, for the last three
years the old gentleman has been on a
big bust. During this period he has
wasted a large estate, and died not WORT,
a copper, after his debts are paid
Whilst on spree he got into Il fuss with
one Of his overseers in Utah. He sent
his sons there to whip him, and being
decidedly fast young men, they wanted
fine horses to ride. 81 the old man
went to horse trading, and lost Bty-tuo
thousand dollars in buying one lot Of
horses. He then bought some oxen and
Wagons to carry the boys trunks, and
got cheated out Of several thousands
more. 1t seemed that everything he en-
gagged in proved a failure. Rapidly de-
clining in the North, his friends advised
him to 60 South ; S he went to Char
lesion. He arrived there on the 23d Of
April. During that day he indulge ed too
freely in champagne, and at night his
bowels were moved. The next day a
preacher was sent for, who prayed mos,
fervent!y for the restoration Of the attic
ted. But the old man got 10 better
very fast
He breathed his last on the Sd Of Nav.
His remains are to be taken to Balti-
more, and inferred on the 18th Of June.

The GREAT CONVENTION OF MoSDAY.

HE GREAT CONVENTION OF MONDAY
1t somehow family occurred to us las
Monday when We gazed upon the faces
OF the crowd assembling at the State
House to inflict upon the people another
Of those stupendous bumbugs yclept :
Convention, that it. was a queer com
mingling Of once conflicting clements
The Old Line Democracy were nob'y
represented BY numerous Old Wings.
while many X. Ms fesh from their dens
and hiding places had found room tc
nestle in the bosom of the only party
that had ever abused and slandered
them. There were Democrats also Of
different shades of opinion rs to what
constitutes right and wrong in Demo
cratic actions. This queer conglomera-
ton proceeded, however, b~armoniousIy
as the Old Liners were vastly in MAORI
ty and could vote down any opposition,
but it was easy to see that there was
gloom upon every brow, and that anx-
ious care for their political welfare had
rendered every face haggard with the
agony Of despair. Several attempts were
made during the sitting to infuse some
thing like life into this gloomy assem-
b!age, but without avail-the fiat had
gone forth and the Old Liners knew and
felt their days were numbered in Louisi-
ana. Neither the Democratic flashing OF
JOHN L. LEWIS upon the backs Of the
seceders, nor the cold irony of J. NJ.
SANDrueE, could spur even into a mo
mentary life, the pale and haggard
crowd who sat around in gloomy silence
] kc starvation awaiting the approach Of
death. We were amused how could
We be otherwise. The party once SO
proud, SO consequential, SO dictatorial, SO
magnanimous and so dishonest, had at
length found its level-lt was coming
back to its good old nays Of nothing
ness, when its i,npotency and weakness
won for it responsibility. No band Of
conspirator surprised by an armed force
could have borne upon their faces, more
resignation to the will OF Fate, than did
the glorious Old Line Democrats who
assembled in Baton Rouge on Monday
last. We felt a slight sympathy for
them, bat it was gerry slight. The ser
peut Of Squatter Sovereignty they warm
ed and nestled into life four years ago,
had turned and stuug them-'he poison
was fast coursing through Their veins,
and the corpse would oon be alone to
Tell the tale. No reputation me seces-
'ion-no frantic appeals 20 the sympa-
by Of outsiders could strang'e the de-
non their own incanta,ious had raised.
Well! 60 your ways, queer mixture of
III political odds and ends. The Old
Lime has proven a line strong enough to
'ang yourselves upon. Do SO at once
md let the buzzards have their long de-
aged feast /
The concern finally wound up by APP
the same delegates to BaIti-
more. and to withdraw from the Con-
entiou on the happening of certain con-
ingencies which it is not necessary to
emind our readers Of.
