The Democratic State Convention of Alabama
assembled at Montgomery on the Ilth inst. They
had some difficulty in organizing, owing to conten-
tious rivalries and jealOusies between the two
wings Of the party, known the YANcY and
FTzPATEICE men. At last advices they were in the
midst Of confusion and nothing definitely effected.
The YANCY men seem to carry the day. Similar
jealousies seem also to have entered into the pro-
ceedings Of the recent Democratic State Convention
Of Kentucky, growing out Of the rivalry between
Messrs. GUTHRIE an0 BEEckNRDGE. We can con-
ceive Of nothing more disgusting.
The Senate is now engaged in discussing the Pres
idents Message. It is understood that at some time,
in the courss Of the debate Mr.. SEWARD is expected
to speak on the subjects which have attracted so
much attention during his absence. He will, Of
course, be expected to vindicate himself from some
of the charges made against him by his pc
ltical opponents. As to his doctrines he could ex
plain them away, perhaps without imparing the
strength Of mis- position in his party.

ADDITIONAL RESOLUTION. N.--The following
additional resolution to the Charleston plat
form was offered in the regular Democratic
Convention at Baltimore, by Gov. Wickliff,
of Louisiana, and adopted:
RESOLVED, That it is in accordance with the
Cincinnati platform, that during the existence of
Territorial Governments, the measure of restr.c-
tion, whatever they may be- Imposed by the Fed
eral Constitution on the power of the Territorial
Legislature. over the subje Of the domestic re-
latlons, AS the same has ueen or shall hereafter
be, finally determined by the Supreme Court Of
the United States, should be respected by all good
citizens, and enforced with promptness and tdel-
ity by every branch Of the General Government
Could the ultraest of the ultra ask for
more than that, at the hands of party
which has a national and not sectional ex-
istence?

Loss OF THE U. S. STEAMER lWALKER.-The
U. S. coast survey steamer Walker, Lieut.. j.
Guthrie commanding, was lost by collision
with an unknown schooner, off Absecone, N.
j., early on the morning of June 2lst.
Twenty-four of the crew were lost, and the
remainder some forty in number, were saved
with the captain and officers in the boats.
The New York Times says:
The schooner struck the steamer on the
port bow, and near the forward chains, her
headrai taking under the steamers plank
shear. staving in the iron plates and opening
her down to the water line. The vessels then
sprnng clear of each other, and the schooner
was observed to round to and remain with
her sails shaking for four or five minutes.
She then filled away and kept on her course.
Implicitly obeyng the orders of Captain
Guthrie and his officers, the boats were then
filled with with as many as they could safely
sustain, and at the word of command pulled
away from the sinking ship. The next mo-
ment she went down, carrying with her all
who were on her decks.
The boats were very deeply loaded, there
was heavy sea running, and their crow ded
condition left little or no room to pull at the
oars. They were some ten miles from the
land and even if they were able to reach it,
the heavy surf which broke upon the beach
would render it impossible to land without
swamping the boats, and probably losing
many lives. In this extremity vessel was
seen bearing down for them. She was hailed
and Immediately answered by rounding to
and giving them line. All the crew were
put on board, except men enough to man
each boat, both of which then returned to
search for those who were still clinging to
the wreck of the Aoating spars. All who
could be fonnd were picked up.

Early in the week it was rumored that the
Washington Constitution would wind up its
career at the close of the present week.
because Of the great reduction in the amount
received for public printing. but since then it
is announced that the friends of Breekinridge
and Lane have furnished the sinews If war
to keep it alive during the campaign.-
Among the Northern papers which support
Breckinridge, is the Albany IN. Y. } Standard
The Philadelphia Pennsylvania take no
sides, and appeals to the Democracy to fight
for principles, not men. The Newark IN. j J
journal, few days since, was in doubt which
side to take. The Trenton Free American
implores the Breckenridge men of New Jer,
sey not to run a ticket. The Rochester
Union and American thinks the campaign
will result in the election of Stephen A.
Douglas to the Presidency in November next
The Detroit Free Press holds similar views
The Butflo Courier hoists the flag of Doug
las. The Princeton IN. J.) Register is de
lighted at his nomination. The Troy Budget
Is out for Douglas-but it is useless to re
capitulate. The Democratic party at the
North is rostly on the side Of Douglas and
johnson. In Pennsylvania, Forney gives to
Douglas the independent support of his pa
per, the Press-St Louis cor, June 29th.

they were duly chosen and accredited. Well,
the best answer to this unfounded charge is
the history of the admission of those dele
gates, which we give below, eOndensing it
from the reported proceedings:
The very first thing done, in the matter,
by the Convention, was to admit the Anti-
Douglas delegates from Mississippi The
next thing done was to admit the Soule (or
Douglass delegation from Louisiana. The
third thing done was to admit t,eo delegates,
hostile to Douglas, from Arkansas, and one
friendly to him. The next thing done was
to admit the entire Anti- Douglas delegation
from Texas. The next thing done was to
admit the two Anti.Douglas delegates, Bay
ard and Whitley, from Delaware The next
thing done was to admit Douglas man from
Massachusetts in place of a bolter. The ueXt
thing done was to admit another Douglas man
from Missouri in place of bolter. The next
thing done was to admit the entire Douglas
delegation from Alabama. The next thing
done was TO refuse to divide Georgia between
the ort9andt and the conteSang Delegates
And the next and last thing done was to
admit the original delegates, thus debarring
that State from any earthly chance to COM
plain Of unfairness and neglecting to take an
advantage which was in the hands of the
Douglas majority in the Convention.
Well, now, let any man count up the anti
Douglas delegates admitted as above stated
and then say if there is any truth or justice
or even decent plausibility in the charge that
the Convention Disseminated in favor of
Douglas men.
SO much for the attempted justification, by
the Express, of those disorgauizers, seceders,
disunionists and bolters who are endeavor-
ing to disrupt the Democratic Party and
preciptate the country into revolution and
anarchy.

MURDER CASES IN TUoLUMNE.-In the
District Court in Tuolumne county last week
Wm. Costello, indicted for murder was tried
ana found not guilty. Tim O'Connor and
John Callahan indicted for murder, were dis
charged, the District Attorney entering
nolle prosgui. Patrick Flanagan indicted for
murder was found guilty of manslaughter'
Four Cinnamon were found guilty of murder
in the first degree
Referring to the case of Costello, the Sonora
Democrat says: 1t will be remembered that
sometime in January last, Costello shot and
killed Carver at Gold Springs, during dis
pute about mining claim. At the ensuing
session of the District Court the trial came up
and in consequence of Judge Crearors b.
sence from the State, Judge Hardy, of Gala
veras. presided After several days spent in
obtaining jury, and hearing testimony and
arguments, verdict of guilty Of murder in
the first degree was brought in by the jury
Costello was then sentenced to he hung on the
18th of May, but his friends and counsel being
dissatisfied with the ruling of the Court upon
certain points of law relative to the introduc-
tion Of testimony to prove possession by the
prisoner of the ground in dispute, a motion for
a new trial was made. This application Judge
Hardy refused to grant, and the case was
therefore taken up to the Supreme Court, by
which the ruling Of the Court below was re-
versed, and second trial granted. The case,
consequently, came before Judge Crennor, at
the present term of the District Court, and
the accused was acquitted and discharged
The whole matter hinged upon the admission
of the evidence relative to possession, and the
Judges charge to the jury.
