The true and tried men of the South, with

be approved by the true Democracy OF the
nation, which will rally cordially to the sup
port of the gifted Breckenridge and the gallant
and chivalrous Lane.
| That part of the Kentucky delegation which
retired from the Douglas Convention deserves,
and receive, the homer of the people who re-

From the Port Gibson Revielle, we extract
the following Endorsement:
BALTIMORE CoNvENTIoN.-The Yicksburg

dispatch from Mr. Barksdale, the editor of the
| Mississippian, and delegate to the Baltimore
| Convention
BALTIMORE, june 3d. 1860.
The Convention is broken u. The boGns

several Northern delegations.

The true National Democracy. representing
almost the entire South and the sound North,
will now hold Convention to prepare for the
Presidential canvass. L. BARKSDALE.
1t seems that the Conventions have acted
in accordance with the plan above telegraphed.
The Vicksburg Wing favors us with dis
patches, saying that Stephen A. Douglas, of
| Illinois, has been nominated by the Northern
Convention for President, and Benjamin Fitz-
patrick, Of Alabama, for Vice President; and
that the Constitutional Convention-the De-
mocratic Convention-has nominated for Pre-
sident, John c. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
and for Nice-President Joseph Lane, of
Oregon.
The ticket nominated by the Democratic
Convention will be found at the head Of our
columns, and we give it a hearty support
The Vicksburg Sun pronounces itself i'll
the following terse language:
The NEXT PRESIDENT, JOHN c. BRECKIN-
R1DGE-Hopeful must be that Douglaste who
believes n0tC that his favorite will carry five
States in the Union His chances Of carrying
even his own State are hopeless. Lincoln
will cheat him out Of his boots in the North
and Northwest, while Breckenridge will put
him hors de combat in every Southern State.
We do not take Bell and Everett into the ac-
count in the above calculation for the reason
that they will not be known in the race at
all-no more in fact, than the weasel was in
the celebrated battle between the lion and the
unicorn, who struggled so fiercely for the
Crown
Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Argus thus argues the
subject:
BALTIMORE CoNyENTIoN.-Never have we
in the whole course of our political experience,
known any act on the part of a Democratic
Convention so clearly unjust, and so perfectly
indefensible, on any principle of right and
and equity, as the adoption of the majority
report.
By the adoption Of that report, in the first
place, Mr.. Hallett delegate from Massachu-
sets, duly and properly elected, in accordance
with the usages Of the Democratic party, was
excluded. MIR. Hallet in consequence Of the
illness of his wife, (since deceased was
unable to attend the Convention at Charleston
and yielded his place to Mr.. Chaifee, his sub
stitute. 1t is therefore ruled contrary to
every principle Of justice and in violation of
every principle of common sense, that Mr..
Hallett cannot resume his delegated power.
In the case of delegate from Missouri,
which is analogous with that of the Massa-
chusetts case, the majority have adopted the
same ruling.
The key to this action on the part of the
majority is, that in both these instances the
true and original delegates were opposed to
Mr.. Douglas, while their substitute were ia
vorabe to him.
In the contest cases from Georgia, Arkansas,
and Alabama, the minority, in spirit of con-
Citation" and "after careful deliberatioh," give
the one-h half delegates from these respective
States, who were elected by at least seven
eighths of the Democracy, the privilege of
casting one-half of the vote of each State, and
permit the Douglas bogus delegates, who do
not represent one-eighth of the Democracy of
those States, to cast the other half
