The National Union Convention met at Baltimore
Yesterday with manifestations of much confidence
and enthusiasm. Washington Hunt Of New-York
was chosen to preside and Business Committee
of one person from each State was appointed, to
report this morning The Slavery question is to
be entirely ignored by this Convention; and even
an allusion to it by one of the members was re-
ceiyed with Kisses. The prevailing design seemed
to be to put forth no declaration of principles ex-
cept obedience to the Constitution and loyalty to
the Union. The reason stated for this course was
that political platforms are intended to be ambigu-
'ous and deceptive. OF course nobody not totally
depraved, could urge such an objection against the
simple Union and Constitution platform on which
this Convention proposes to place its candidates.

existing legislative union Of Upper and Lower
Canada has failed to realize the ancipations OF It's
promoters, has resulted in heavy debt, burden
some taxation, great political abuses and universal
dissatisfaction and proceeds to express the opinion
that the antagonisms between the two sections,
growing out of difference of origin, local interests,
and other causes, are so great that the Union, In
its present form, cannot be continued with advan-
tape. The second resolution proposes as slbsti-
tute for the present system, the formation OF TWO
or more local governments, to have the cohtroi Oh
local matters, subject, however, to some underlined
iont authority charged with such matters as are
necessarily to common to both sections.
There is unauestionably good deal OF antag-
onism between the two sections of Canada. The
existing union was forced upon both provinces by
the British Government, contrary to the wishes OF
both At the same time they have many common
interests. best administered by a common govern
ment-a fact emphatically admitted by the disun-
ion resolutions themselves which, after first DIS
uniting the provinces, propose to bring them To-
cether again under q federal union. 1t is also
certain that in the course of the twenty-three
wears that the union nus tAIsFu fciy S"''i"
bic progress has been made toward asslmiatlng
the two provinces. The present movement seems
indeed to be an entirely Upper Canadian move
ment, and to be mainly prompted by the fact that
the Ministry in power derive their principal sup
port from the representatives of the lower prov
ince.
As to economy, debt and taxation, it hardly
seems probable that anything would be gained
upon these points by having three or four gov
ernments to support instead of one, while, after
ell the great points of controversy and divergence,
would still continue to exist, and would be apt to
interfere quite as much with the smooth working
of the proposed federal government as they DO now
with the consolidated government of the entire
provinces. To the present conflict of sections
would very likely be added disputes as to the
extent of the powers of the local and the federal
governments.
We do not judge however, that the present
scheme is brought forward with any expectation
that il will be carried into effect, but rather as
mere occasion of signalling the dissatisfaction of
the Upper Province at being subjected to what ID
represented as a sectional Administration.

MURDER REWARDED.

The appointment of Calhoun Benham TO the
Office of District-Attorney for California is one of
those acts which pass belief, whether regarded as
evidence of utter faulty of cool contempt for
all decent public opinion. 1t is an act which even
the worst enemy of Mr.. Buchanan would not have
dared ask him to do, desiring to hasten him to his
ruin. 1t is not ncomprehensbe that man sim
ply destitute of ability, wanting in every qualfca-
ton for certain Office, should be put in that very
place by the President on the first opportunity;
but that man who had been conspicuously before
the country as breaker of the law, and accessory
to murder whose details he had assisted to ar
range, should be selected for position the first
duty connected with which is to punish the offend
ing and to keep vigilant eye upon the dsorderly,
to the end that peace and quiet and sobricty may
reign-this puzzles the brain.
While it should not be charged upon Mr.. Bu.
chanan that he deliberately plotted the murder of
Mr.. Broderick, yet there appears to be no doubt
that he had certain preferences, TO use u mild
phrase indeed. A duel was imminent between
Broderick and Terry-had long been imminent.

THE LATEST "NIGGER-STEALEB

One of the worst of vices is hypocrisy. Here
toCore the synonym of good faith and political
honesty has been Massachusetts, Democracy. A
handful of men at whom Plymouth Rock has been
hurled in vain, whom Bunker Hill could never
cover. over whom Concord River has been poured
in futile attempts to dye them of another color
they have stood heretofore like the righteous men
of Scripture, one ready always to chase a thou
sand and two to put ten thousand to fight. They
have stood upon the rock of the Constitution, and
welded the fiery sword of the laws, and the waves
of fanaticism have dashed against them, and the
winds thereof have howled about their ears in
vain. Steady as Plymouth Rock, proved and up
right as Bunker Hill Monument, as answering as
the course of Concord River to the sea-
they have never fatered in their avowed devotion
to the rights of the South. But it has been only
in words-rox ct preterea nihl-their zeal has been
only in empty breath. No sooner has the oppor-
tunty been afforded them than they run off
Niger" More treacherOus than the Under
ground Railroad, which waits till its passengers
cross the border, the Massachusetts Democracy

may be added to injury, they seize, as proper
occasion wherein to illustrate their treachery q
Democratic Presidential Convention. But hypo-
critical to the last, they still profeSsed their ale
glance to Squatter Sovereignty for the South's
sake with their lips, while their hands were full of
black squatter sovereign for settlement at the
North. With the flag Of their country, union
down, hung up in the main rigging az signal of dis
tress with guns that had done service in the Ameri
can Revolution and the war of 10, belching forth
with sound and smoke in honor of Constitutional
obligation; calm aud pleasant Sunday morning
chosen for the demonstration; they profess to hand
over TO the music of the DOxology to the triumpha
harmony of the Marseillaise, miserable wretch,
who, it was said, was ga person bound to service
or labor" to those to whom his service and labor
were due. Such an act on their part was simply
consistent and in accordance with their acknOwl-
edged duty, and the pomp and circumstance with
which it was accompanied were fitting evidence
of its moral submity. But who now so credulous

Both Houses of Congress sat till late hour
yesterday. In the Senate, an animated struggle
took place upon the Homestead bill; in the House,
the contest was upon the Tariff. The opponents
of the Homestead bill resorted to every practicable
device to prevent vote upon it, and finally sue
ceeded in adjourning before it had been decsively
acted upon. The resistance to the Tariff in the
House was less envenOmed but was also marked
by peculiar features, which are portrayed in our
various dispatches from Washington.

directed his failing energies to tho

to be expended for tombstone, &c.

his last breath eiljoined it upon his
wife and daughter, who were weep

cession to leave the house forthe grave
