DOUGLAS & FITZPATRICK.
DREcKrNRIDGE AND JOE. LANE.
The s.Nasional'' Democratic Convention,
which adjourned in disorder aud amid "noiss
confusion" 1t Charleston, re-assembied at
Baltimore, on the 18th inst. After an
ssirrspressibls conflict" ranging through
six DAYS and aAmany nighss-during which
the Convention became discovered, dicord-
ant, belligerens-two candidates for Presi-
dent we're nominated, and the representatives
at the s.harmonious" Democracy turned
their faces bomewards
..In all The siIeat naHi.ness o: sr:ef,"
we'll knowing that the sun rose on the morn
ing Of the 2ish Of June, over ''shs broken
and dishonored fragments" Of the Demo
cratic party.
Our space will not permit US to give the
proceedings in full, of the hydrs-hsadsd
monster which committed suicide at Balsi-
more. Il 10 not necessary that We should
publish the proceedings in full, in order that
our readers may hare correct understand
| ing of the chaotic movements of the Democ-
racy at their adjourned Convention. As
the delegates parted At Charleston so they
met at Baltimore, in bad blood. Disorder
and confusion reigned from tho start.
Crimlnations and denominations, were the
order Of the day between the Douglsises
and anti Douglas men-the result we hare
before Us in two tickets, DoUGLAs ard
FITZPATRICK and BRECKENRIDGE and JosEH
LANE. The breach made by the SscsssioI-
| lists at Charleston, could not be healed. L
was the attempt to heel this wound, or rath'r
to cover it over that led to the second g.
cession, at Baltimore. twill be recollectG,
that Immediately succeeding the adjourn
msnt at Charleston, irregule,. mass .aee,irgs
were held in several of the States (wh,se
delegates seeSded) and delegates friendly
to Douglas sent up to Baltimore to clsm
the seats of the secessionists. Regular
Conventions were held in the same Ststss,
and the seeding delegates not only endorsed
but accredited to the " National I" Demo-
cratic Convention. This was the contest
presented TO the Convention upon its re-
assembling. After four days Of strong
wrangling and unprecedented confusion,
resolutions were adopted admitting Douglas
delegates from Louisiana, Arkansas and
Alabama, and also authorizing the delegates
from each State to cast the entire vote Of
the Stat. they represented. Tae passage of
these resolutions was regarded as manifes.ly
unfair--a miserable trick of the Douglas
men, to secure by foul means the nomination
Of their favorite-and was followed BY the
withdrawal, at that time and subsequently,
OF most of the delegates from Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, and Maryland. All the dele
gates from Oregon withdrew and portion
of those from Pennsylvania, and other
Northern States. From this time out there
are two National Democratic Conventions.
Just before the Massachusetts delegation
withdrew, CALEB CUSHING, the President of
the Convention, resigned his position to Mr..
ToD of Ohio. As Mr.. Cushing left the chair
the whole Convention rose waving their hat.
and handkerchiefs, and clspping their hands
mingled with cries of "good, good, now We
shall have fair man in the chair" Caleb
retired from tie Convention at the head Of
the Massachusetts, delegation.
On Saturday the Douglas wing of the
Convention, after violent session Of some
hours arrived at ballot, which resulted in
l73 votes for Douglas; for Guthrie; !
for Dickinson, and for Breckinridge. The
next ballot was announced as follows:
Douglas l7S!, Guthrie 9, Breckenridge 5,
Seymour l, Bocock l, Wise l, Dickinson !,
blank votes 81.
Whole number of votes 2l2A.
Every State represented except Delaware,
South Carolina. Florida, Mississippi, Texas,
California and Oregon. Georgia was repre-
sented in part, but refused to vote. After
another exciting debate in which the position
of New York was explained, another vote
was taken. Douglas getting ISL! votes, the
rest scattering.
A resolution was then unanimously adopt
ed, nominating Douglas. Cheer upon cheer
arose. Every person in the Theatre was
immensely excited. From the upper tier,
banners were unfurled and waved.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick of Alabama, was nominal
ted for Vice President, after which the Con-
ven,ion, after passing several unimporsant
resolutions adjourned sine die.
sEcEDERs CONVENTION.
The seeding delegates from the regular
convention, including all that withdrew at
Charleston and adjourned to Richmond AMI
thence to Baltimore, and all that afterw or d
withdrew from the regular Convention at
Baltimore, except the South Carolina dele

noon on the 23d, and organized by electing
Mr.. Russell, of Va, temporary chairman.
The Convention re-assembled at 5 p. m b.
