CHARLESTON LocoFoco CONVENTION. -
This body of political managers and pub
lie plunderers will meet on Monday, next, the
23d inst. The various delegations have been
arriving during the week, and all will proba'
bly, have arrived by to-day. The belief that
Douglas will get the nomination seems to be
strengthening at Washington, and that he
will take it on any platform. The Pres ident
is represented to be dead against Douglas, and
he and his friends are doing all they can to
defeat him. 1t is said they even GO so far as
to say, that rather than let the Judge be nom :
mated, MIR. James Buchanan will consent to
take the nomination There will doubtless
be good time. But at all events, some one
will be nominated which the convention will
unanimously ratify. Thus there will be a
"Union for the sake Of the"-offices!

CONGRESS. seems to lie fair pros.
pect that the Pacific Railroad Bill will pass.
The Tariff Bill is progressing fairly, and will
probably pass; though the locolocos in the
House almost unanimously oppose any alter
alton IN the present Tariff, under which our
furnace fires have gone out, and our factories
stopped. The Covode Investigation Commit
tee is daily bringing some startling feature to
light
There is even now some talk Of an attempt
being made to impeaca the President.
There have been but three attempted i'm
parchment cases since the formation Of the
Government, and one of them which isrelied
upon as precedent to govern action in all
future cases is that one in which John Ran.
dolph was Chairman of the House Committee.
In that case, like the present Covode lnvesti.
eating Committee, there was preliminary
examination, in reference to the finding of
probable cause for impeachment, and when
the COMMITTEE satisfied themselves there was
cause for impeachment, they came into the
House and asked for authority to proceed in
the case, with a view TO frame articles for i'm.
parchment, to be presented at the bar of the
Senate.
This precedent, twithstandng the puerilc
protest Of the President, will be followed 10y
Mr.. Covodes Committee, and after the exam
inaton Of two or three witnesses, the case
will come before the House, to ask for power
to investigate with reference to the present.
u,cnt Of formal charges at the bar Of the Sen.
ate against the President.
When the House decides that articles of
impcachu ent shall be preferred, then the
jurisdiction is changed from the Special Com
mittee to the Committee on the Judiciary, of
which Mr.. Hickman is Chairman.
The point which will be submitted to the
Senate is merely on rumor. which has not
yet shaped itself, that the President, through
his own accord and by the exercise of his
pccuniary means, was mixed up with the fall.
siiication of fraudulent naturalization papers
to an extent which materially conduced to
carry Pennsylvania in the Presidential contest
| of 1856.
Before the removal of the District Attorney,
the belief Of the President was that he was
silenced because of the complication of his
accounts in the Treasury Department. The
District Attorney has been so mortified at the
ingratitude Of the President for so many
years of invaluable service, that he is deter
mined 10 pursue the war to the bitter end
| The only draw back to the matter Of i'm
parchment is that the Democrats have expires.
sed determination to spring mine in the
development Of the facts connected with the
100000 that Truman Smith brought t.
Philadelphia.

Sunday School Convention.

A Convention OF the friends of Sabbath
IA Schools will be held in the PRESBYTERIAN
Church. in Eikton, On TUESDAY, the 18th
of May, to commence at AN.
All the Schools in Cecil county are re-
questcd 10 send Delegates. Ministers of the
Gospel are also invited, who will be cx-otiicio
members Of the convention.
This being the first convention of the kind
held in Maylan for many years, it is very
desirable that all the Schools send as many
Delegates as possible, SO as to make it u
model convention for the other counties in
the State.
Gy-Scvcral distinguished friends of Sun

phia are expected to be present, and take
