BALTIMORE CONVENTION!
TWO TICKETS
DOUGLAS AND FITzPATRiCk'
BRECKENR1DaEAN AND LANE!
The Democ. attic Party Torn to Frag'
mentsl


The Grea: fight at Baltimore is over,
and the late National Democratic party is
numbered amongst the things that were.
It sleeps by the side Of the once glorious
and gallant old Wing party. The "irre-
pressible conflict" for which it entertain
cd such supreme contempt but few
days ago, has been the cause Of its sud
den and violent death.
As our heading indicates, the Conveu-
ton divided about equally, after having
been engaged in stormy session Of
nearly week, the President Of the orIgi-
nal Convention, Gen. Gushing, going out
with the seceders. The largest portion Of
the Convention retired with the seceGers.
whereupon those who were left proceed.
ed to nominate, when Douglas was nom,
mated for President, and Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
"arale ould Irish gintleman," Of Alaba'
ma, was nominated for Vice President.
The seceders organized at once, with
Mr.. Gushing for President, and proceeded
to work; after session Of few hours
their flag was also unfurled to the breeze
with the names Of John G. Breckenridge,
Of Kentucky, for President, and Gen
Jos. Lane. Of Oregon, for Vice President,
inscribed on its folds.
Thus, what has been 80 often predicted
has been demonstrated beyond all con-
troversy-that is. that the conflicting po-
litical elements Of the free and slave
States could not long mingle together
without producing an explosion.
We have no room to give the proceed
ings Of the Convention in detail. 1--WE wish
we had.) but can safely say that it was
the most boisterous and violent assembly
of people that has ever convened in this
country. Fights, regular fsticuffs. be.
tween prominent politicians, were com.
mon occurrences. and men we're not only
hissed down but knocked down for ex.
pressing their opinions too freely.
The Cincinnati Gazette speaking o.
Douglas chances says:
Douglas and Fitzpatrick have the nomi
na.ion Of the Rump Convention, obtained
by Reputation Of the rule requiring two
thirds Of the whole elect oral vote to nomi
nate. Douglas received barely 1872
which is 20 short Of what WAS required
for regular nomination. He was thel
nominated by resolution. Fitzpatrick wa
put through in similar manner. He i
one Of the feeblest men in the Senate, per
haps hardly up to the grade Of Lane q
Oregon. yet very respectable gentle
man Of the old fogy stamp. We suppos
that no intelligent politician expects thi
ticket to carry solitary electoral vote
1t will fall behind the Republican tickc
in Ohio not less, probably, than 10000
With the Administration leaders op
posed to Douglas in Indiana. Lincoln il
likely to carry that State by no less thai
$4,000. In Illinois. Douglas. instead o
falling 1000 short Of Lincoln, as in 1858
will be in minority Of more than lO,OO'
in this canvass. In all the other North
western States he will be still more thor
} oughly beaten. In Pennsylvania, Ne,
Jersey and New York, Douglas vii
about divide the Administration or De
mocratic vote with Breckenridge, Civ
ing the Republicans an easy victory
The Rump ticket will not make any
considerable show in any other Northerl
or Southern States than those we hav,
named.
