The baltimore Democratic Convention.


1t is with feelings of deepest anxiety
and utmost concern that we look for
ward to the result of the adjourned
meeting Of the Democratic National
Convention at the city Of Baltimore on
the 18th OF June next. Between this
time and that OF the rc-assembling OF
that body the most strenuous exertlons
will be made to harmonic andtranquilize
the now seemingly incongruous elements,
and bring them together upon one solid
platform. Should these endeayoIs be ef-
fectual-should the curse be exercised
and the iactious spirit pass away, there
is nothing more sure than that Dcmoc-
racy will again be triumphant and main
tain its stronghold but should no such
end be obtained-sh should the next Con-
venton be characterized by such stub
born bitterness as reigncd at Charleston,
the Opposition party will elect their
President as sure as fate. There is no
use Of stating the case any differently
it would be inevitable. If it be true
that the miserable cancer which fastened
upon the old Wing party and destroyed
it, has fastened upon the vitals Of our
own, then what hope have we left :
While we are not anxious to admit tn at
such is the case, we shall be constrained
TO in case the next Convention refuses to
take the proud stand which our National
Conventions Of years past have taken.
Should the friends Of Mr.. Douglas see
fit to maintain the position which they
have taken-if they still persist in de-
manding that Douglas be the nominee;
still aver that he IS the Democratic
party, and without him the party would
neither have name or existence, then
we predict that the Baltimore conven-
ton will be but repetition of the one
held at Charleston-a farce. There is
an abundance Of excellent Presidential
timber left in the Democratic party yet
(though there are those who claim that
Douglas is the only stick left and such
. selection must be made as will keeE
the party together. If not, then il mus,
follow in the wake of the great Whie
party, which died years ago.

the Sabbath, after brother in the minis
try has kindly preached for you through
the day. You alL,dc to his sermon in
terms,such as worldly politeness employs
on common subjects, that is, in terms Of
direct compliment. In thus canceling
an obligation to a fellow-worm, do you
not otfeud against the sanctity Of the
place and the occasion, and the dignity
so to speak-of devotion l have
no doubt that intelligent and conscien-
tious people often feel, on this point, a
degree Of improperly in the habits of
ministers; and the same habits are
carried to a greater extent in
more private devotions, such as ac-
kuowledging the Inequalities of fam
lilies"

The JAPANESE OPPOSED TO WOMEN.
The japanese ship is still lying at San
Francisco, but the women are not allow
ed to go on board, the admiral having
given positive orders to that effect. One
by accident, got on the vessel, few
days since, and was politely but firmly
requested to leave. The fair ones of
San Francisco must, with as much grace
as possible, choke down their grief; but
it is settled that they cannot go on board
the corvette. Our Japanese visitors do
not appreciate the female sex-they
could not think of letting dainty fe-
male tread their deck, which is owing to
misapprehension of the social rank of
females among us.

"The Hon. John Covode has a com
mlttee of investigation sitting at Wash
ington, whose jurisdiction seems to be
unlimited, and whose scope Of enquiry
seems to include all manner Of subjects
We have an item (says the Chicago
Times for Mr.. Covode. Some time in
February, the Clerk of the House OF
Representatives appointed as an assist
ant clerk one Herman Kriesman, of the
city of Chicago, at a salary Of 81, 800
per annum. An election was then
pending in Chicago, and said Kreisman
was advised by the Republican members
from the State Of Illinois to remain in
Chicago and attend to the Germans of
Chicago, and to exercise his oft boosted
power Of making them vote blindly as
he should direct. kriesman did stay
here until long after the election. He
then went to Washington. He was not
there but a few days, when he was des-
patched to attend to the Germans of
Connecticut and see that they voted
right. After taking a weeks rest, after
his arduous labors in the land of onions.
he has returned to Chicago to attend
to the Germans again, and see that
they vote right at the primary meet
ings; and also to pack conventions
with view Of nominating a particular
person for the office Of Governor Of this
State.
Nov, will MIR. Covode enquire of the
proper parties whether said Kricsman
has been paid his salary during the time
he has been attending to the Germans
here and elsewhere. If he has, then let
the fact be made known that the Repub-
Leans have their party workers paid out
OF the federal treasury. II he has not
been paid during his absence from his
office, then would it not be economy to
abolish the office whose duties do not
seem to require the attendance of the
incumbent? For witnesses to prove
hr'esman's presence here from the time
OF his appointment until after our cleo
ton IN March, We name the Hon. /. N.
Arnold, and to prove his presence here
now, we name John Wentworth and
