The Convention.

At tie time of writing, this, (Tuesday
norning) we have not received any intelli-
gence with regard to the proceedings Of the
Baltimore Convention. The delegates and
outside e,sure men began to arrive in great
numbers on Saturday and in the evening, the
City was filled with an excited crowd of Doug
las and Anii-Douglas men. The Douglas
delegates have their headquarters at the res
idence of Hon. Reverdy johnson. The Anti
Douglas men, notwithstanding the outside
pressure, continued on Saturday to stand firm,
and seemed determined to prevent if possible
The dissolution of the Party and the ignoring
of its principles. Notwithstanding all the
efFo.ts Of the Douglas men they could not
then cipher out a majority of two thirds in
his favor It was the intention, however,
TO endeavor TO excl lude the "seceders" and
admit bogus delegations to occupy their seats
Gov Bigler was in the city but did not ap-
pea- to be taking any part in the outside ar
rangemenis Il was known that numerous
efforts would BE- made to amend the Charles
ton platform, but it was thought they would
all prove abortive. 1t is impossible at pres
ent to say what the result will be, but few
days more must tell the tale.

of opinion may exist with reference to other
matters. Gen. Foster is everywhere hailed as
worthy representative of Democratic doc

record, and close Identification with all the
great aud essential interests of the State, are
calling forth the most active and Jealous ef-
forts of the Democracy In his behalf No
man has ever passed the ordeal of active pub
lie service with more success and honor than
has Gen. Foster; and his gallantry in times
of emergency. and his strict devotion to
Democratic principles, have justly endeared
him to the Democracy of the whole State
