Terrific Explosion at Hudson.

About ten o'clock this morning the To-
comotlve "Vulcan," of the Cleveland
GAINESVILLE and Cincinnati Railroad, explo-
ded with terrific crash at Hudson. The
engineer and fireman had most fortunately
left the locomotive together a few mo-
ments before. The locomotive was stand.
ing at the station, all ready to take the
train 10 Millersburg. 1t was completely
wrecked. Pieces of iron were hurled in
every direction, one piece being thrown
one hundred rods. A young man who
was walking near the locomotive when the
explosion occurred was lifted from his feet
and carried some thirty feet on the track
and then let down. Singular to say, he
was nothurt. A freight car standing along
side the locomotive was smashed into
kindling wood, and although several per-
sons were in the immediate vicinity of the
explosion no one was injured. The explo-
sion resulted from defective iron in the
boiler. tt t-

RESISTING THE LAws.-In New York City
they have law which requires all elergymen
to register in the Inspectors Office, all marriages
solemnized by them. The Archbishop of the
Catholic Church in that city has refused TO COM
ply with this wholesome law, and when re-
minded by tho proper officer of his duty in this
respect, replies that there may be those who
feel themselves called upon to obey the obliga-
tions of this law, but that he is not one of that
number. He defies the authorities to arrest
him for not complying with its provisions. We
call further attention of our protestant readers
to this violation of an important law of our land
by Catholic Archbishop, and in connection
with it would ask, where is the indignant TRADE
of the Democrats against the higher law doc
trine of the Archbishop? When the Protestant
Ministry of the North preached against the IN
were denounced Id no elegant terms by the
whole democratic press as fanatics, who set
the higher law above human. This, be it re-
membered, is simply for opposing cruel, un-
just, unnecessary, tyrannical, and as they think,
unconstitutional law, and which was got up to
oppress an unfortunate class of our people,
But when the head of the Roman Catholic por-
ton of the Democracy sees fit to trample upon
necessary law, which is admitted by all to
be reasonable, then the Democracy are silent.
Why is this? Because ninety-nine out CT a
hundred of the Catholics vote the Democratic
ticket;-and because all the Catholic newspa-
pers in this county support the Democratic
party.

Baltimore Convention Bursts mp
and makes two Conventions
and NOminates two Tickets--
Sound the WhaugdOOdle,

The Baltimore Convention did not have much
better luck than at Charleston. After a stormy
session of four days it commenced falling to
pieces, and after two days of fighting and cat
erwalling, the two divisions brought forth two
candidates Theone nominated or rather dp-
pointed, DouGLA AS for President, and FITZPATRICK,
of Alabama, for Vice President. The other
wing nominated BRECKENRIDGE. the present
Vice President, for President, and Gen. LANE
of Oregon, for Vice President. Both, it seems
think it their duty for the sake of the party, to
accept. Sound the whangdoodle, beat the gew-

Seceders Convention.

BALTIMORE June %.
The Seceder's Convention met at noon
to-day in the Maryland Institute, which
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
The Convention was called to order by
Mr.. Ewing of Tennessee.
Mr.. Russell, of Virginia, was chosen
temporary chairman, and made an able
speech, characterizing this as the regular
convention.
The first business in order, he said, would
be to recognize the principles usages and
spirit of the States Rights Democacy of
old Virginia.
Messrs John of Maryland, and Cratsby,
of Oregon were electded secretaries.
A Committee on permanent organiza-
tion was then appointed, when the Conven-
tion adjourned till o'clock this evening.
The following States are represented in
the Convention in whole or in parts: Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Missouri, California,
Oregon, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Texas, Kentucky and Areansas.
The speech of Mr.. Russell on taking
the chair of the Seceders Convention was
as follows:
Gentlemen of the National Democratic
Convention: do not know of anything
on which the honor in selecting me chair
man of this Democratic Convention is
based, except it is in honor of the ancient
and loyal and Commonwealth of Virginia
whose interests l represent here. The first
official act of this Convention since it as
sembled at this place has been to signify
that it will be governed by the usages,
principles, and spirit which has governed
the State Rights Democraty of Virginia.
The Convention which has assembled
elsewhere and from which you have with
drawn has lost all title to the denomina-
tion of National. 1t cannot perform the
functions of National Democratic Con-
vention, and every one believes that the
true democracy will unite and declare it
unsound in national relations. You and
those you represent are majority of the
Democracy and of the Democratic States.
They will look to you 10 perform the func-
tions of National Democratic Conven-
tion, and you will be so recognized alike by
North, and South, East and Vest
Loud and enthusiastic cheers. | have
every confidence that you will stand upon
the principles and be able to defend the
Democratic party and protect the rights of
all the States aud maintain the constitu-
ton against all the enemies open or insid-
ious. With this reliance upon you, and
confidence in the justice of our course, |
am prepared to perform in an humble and
imperfect way the duties devovling upon
me.
The Seceder's Convention re-assembled
at five O'Clock P. M.
The hall was densly crowded in every
part. There were fully three thousand
persons present, and the greatest euthus-
asm was manifested. !

THE TWO TIcKETs.-Judging by the "noise
and confusion" that was made here on Saturday
night on the news of Douglas nomination, We
supposed that there would be nothing left for
any body else that might me nominated on that
side. In this we were badly deceived. The
BRECKENRIDGE ticket is to-day as strong if not
stronger within the borough limits of this town,
than the DOUGLAS ticket, and the former is gain
ing, whilst the latter is loosing ground. In the
county BRECKENRIDGE will get "a very large vote.
The number of his friends has surprised us.

srABBNG AFFRAY.-On Thursday evening
last, the wife of THOMAS MCBRIDE, living al
Homesville, in this co., alarmed the neighbors
with the outcry that her husband was abusin G
her. Several men residing in the neighborhood
ran in to interfere, when a free fight ensued
which resulted in LAFAYETTE McKANE getting
stabbed in two or three parts of his body witt
IN awl in the hands of MCBRIDE. MCBRIDE wa:
arrested, and not being able to give bail, was
committed to Jail.

EVENING SESSION.
baltimore June 9

|
The convention re-assembled at Z o'clock
with crowded audience.
Much interest was excited by the pro.
ceedings, and heightened by the prevalence
of report that Douglas had telegraphed
to withdraw his name, which was known
only by few.
Cessna moved TO proceed to ballot fol
candidate for President and Vice President
of the United States, and on that called
the previous question.
Russell, of Virginia, and Henry, Of
Pennsylvania rose at the same time.
Henry moved to adjourn sine die.
Stansbury, of Maryland, made the same
motion.
There was much excitement.
Stewart, of Michigan-I raise the point
of order that the motion now be enter
tanned.
The President-The motion TO vote sine
die is in order.
New York and several other States cal
led for vote bv States.
Russell, of Virginia, took the floor
The time had now arrived when in became
his duty
German, of Minnesota, arose amidst the
excitement. He raised the point of order.
The previous question, on seconding it,
must be put before the debate.
Russell considered what he had to say
as matter of privilege under the action
of the convention on questions arising out
of the report of the Committee on Gre
dentials. The action had finally become
compiely irradicable, and it becomes the
duty of the delegates from Virginia to
inform the convention that it was not con-
sistent with their sense of duty to their
constituents to participate longer in these
deliberations. Applause which was check
ed by the Chair.
A volce-Oh, let them cheer treachery
and disunion 10 their hearts content.
The excitemence and confusion was
with great difficulty checked by the Chair.
Russell continued They had taken this
step after mature deliberations and after
exhausting all honorable efforts to obyiate
its necessity in addition to the facts which
appear on the record. He desired to
state that the delegates to whom were
Just ordered tickets to be used, some of
them at least would not join in the delib-
erations of the convention for the reasons
that induced them to take this important
step would be rendered TO their contos-
tants, and they only had to bid the con-
vention respectful adieu.
