A large meeting of the National Democracy
was held at Augusta, Ga, Friday night, which
was addressed by Messrs. King, of Missouri, and
Flournoy, of Arkansas, friends of Douglas At
the close notice was given that there would be a
county meeting on next Wednesday to appoint
delegates to State Convention to send delegates
to represent Georgia in the Baltimore Oonven-
ton

OPINIONS OF THE PREss.-The Richmond Ex-
aminer, the leading organ of Senator Hunter,
processes qualification at the course of the Vir-
ginia delegates in the Charleston Convention and
approves Of the adjournment to Baltimore, where
it thinks all the difficulties will be settled.
The New York journal of Commerce, Dem
ocratic paper, says: 1.-THE secession is olninous
of evil in regard to the perpetuity of the Union.
If the Democratic party of the North cannot CO.
operate with the Democratic party of the South,
what shall be said of the North as whole 2"
The New York Daily News, Mayor Woods
organ, saysi aView it how we will, the action
of the Southern delegations in their secession
has our honest sympathy and although we are
not surprised at its course, we utterly condemn
the treacherous aud undemocratic conduct of the
delegation admitted from this State, and which,,
as we have always contended, does not represent
the people"
The New York Sun says it is Hrefreshing to
find that the representatives OF the free State
Democracy have, for once, had the courage to
refuse entire submission to the imperious de-
mands of that small Southern ol;garchy who
have done so much to dsorganize and destroy
the party. We only hope that they will not dis
play any timidity and yield the position which
they have taken. So far, the Douglas men have
stood firm, and if they yield an inch more they
will only cover themselves with disgrace

CONTINUED OPPOSITION TO DOUGLAS.-Il0
Washington Constitution of Friday morning
sounds the key note, for the instruction of the
Administration forces, of continued opposition
to the nomination OF Senator Douglas. 1t says
One thing, nevertheless, seems to be very de-
csively determined-namely, that the person
whose pertinacous parti2ans have caused all the
difficulty at Charleston cannot possibly be noi-
mated for the Presidency as the candidate of a
National Democratic Convention. We need not
now go into the reasons for this conviction,
which every clear headed man must possess,
whether it is agreeable to wishes or not.
We shall not suggest what patriotism, what
magnanimity, what party tideity-nay, what an
enlightened and sagacious self-interest dictates
to that person, because our motives would be
construed by scheming partizans, who care not
for their party nor for the country.
FROM UTAH-A Washington despatch says:
Gov. Cumming has informed the President that
Utah is in q condition bordering on anarchy,
and that some action is therefore necessary on
the part OF the government to relieve the Terri
tory from present ald impending evils He al
ludes to bands of desperadoes whose conduct
renders the tenure of life and property uncertain,
and requests that either Judges be sent out in
place of those who have deserted Utah, or that
the Probate Courts be authorized to exercise the
power claimed by them and granted by the Leg
islative Assembly, or that some other means of
ensuring safety may be adopted. He asks that
five hundred soldiers be retained there and pro-
tests against the withdrawal of the entire army
as injudicious and unjust. The Governor esti-
mates the population of Utah at 50 or $4,000,
though the Mormons assert that it is larger.

The Baltimore Convention.

The Baltimore American of Thursday last
says: "The approaching session OF the Union
Constitutional Convention in this city, on the
9th of the present month, continues to excite not
only sttention in our own city, but throughout
the entire country. The telegraph daily an
nounces the election, by numerous States, of del
egates to the Convention, and the movement
appears to be daily gaining strength in every
State of the Confederacy. 1t is announced that
all the lines of railroad diyerging North, South
and West from Baltimore, have arranged to car
ry at half fare delegates to and from the Con-
vention, and also to carry visitors at q reduced
rate of fare. This arrangement alone will tend
to bring large numbers of strangers to our city,
and much praise is due the railroad companies
for the facilities thus offered AT session of the
Union Constitutional Committee, in the city Of
Washington, on Monday evening last, an invi-
tation was oxteHded to the Committees of the
American and Wing parties to be present, with
the Union Committee, at the opening of the
Baltimore Convention. This invitation, which
will no doubt be accepted, will at once prove to
the country the entire union of the national con-
seryative elements" Delegates from several OF
the States had already arrived in Baltimore.
The American of Friday, in 81 article on the
difficulties at Charleston, says; There is a
third party-and we honestly believe it repre-
sents the vast majority of our countrymen-
which proposes to ignore the whole question
| If it had been possible for the Charleston Con
vention to plant itself upon the Union of these
States. ard to discourage and denounce all agi-
tation of the yexed question, it could have fought
the Republicans and done good service to the
country. AS little as we sympathize with the
Democratic party, we are sorry TO see it wrecked
upon this shoal. A party that has been respect
able, in its proportions at least, for 80 many
years, seems to be dismembered and blown into
fragments by frebrand cast by its own friends.
The hope of the Union may yet rest upon the
action of the Baltimore Convention"
