This great democratic Convention, like
all great institutions, has come to an end.
I,s whole object and purpO'c--ths nomina-
ton Of candidate for Presideni-has been
defeated. The grea. National Democracy
Of 1860. in contrast with the history ofCm'
sar, on q certain occasion, has met. quar-
relied. and dispersed. Its bOa',ings OF har'
mony. have been found TO DO empty ejaeu.
iAtiop.. Its UaioH.saring patriotism has
bur., in vapid defamation. Alter y session

double-headcd Convention. irrceoncilably
opposed TO each other. Neither body nom.

trembling on volcano Of eIpedicney and
policy. who have been rcapinga harres, Of
gold amid riot, rV'elry and corruption. who
have been forming platforms requiring free
