STEPHEN ARNOLD DOUGLAS.

The representatives Of the Democracy at Bal
,imore after week passed in tumult and ex-
element which not unfrequently ripened into
individual conflict aud general quarrelling, di-
yided, or rather split in twain, and the result oil
the division is two democratic tickets for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency. The nomin-
ees were, respectively, for President. Mr. Breck-
enridge of Kentucky. and Stephen Arnold
Douglas Of Illinois. The former was nomina-
ted BY the seceders from twenty States repre-
senting lit electoral votes, and the latter by
convention which was started in irregular man.

eomplish its purposes was obliged to depart
from rule of its making. and democratic usa
ges, and 10 Gil its thinned ranks by the most
barefaeed frauds and ehicanery in the admis-
sion Of delegates. These frauds are matters
which concern the me9bers of the Democratic
party and not Republicans, and therefore we
siton to complain. Our business as Republic
cans is with the candidates presented, and OF
these we have the right and IL Is our duty to
speak truthfally and plainly. We shall do SO,
and shall commence with that conspirator

The CAMrBELIs. - This popular troupe Of

their performance at Union Hall on Thursday
night Of last week. The Campbcll's have high

Besides the comical elemento Of the concert there
was real genuine music-the chorusses by the
full troupe. the songs "By the Sad Sea Waves"
and "Haste, Crimson Morning." for example.
The whole concert was perfectly free from any
thing that might offend the most sensitive taste.

Adjournment of Congress.

Congress adjourned at noon on Monday
There was less than the usual amount Of dis
turbancs on the occasion. Most Of the appro-
priation bills were passed, including some, as
usual, Of doubtful propriety. Among the i'm
portant measures that failed Of q passage thro'
the action Of the Democracy In the Senate, are
LIST. The Bill for the Admission Of Kansas ID.
The Tariff Bill, reported by Mr.. Morrill, Of Yer
mont, and which passed the House 81. The
Homestead Bill, which was vetoed by the Pres
ident, and which failed to become law by .
requisite two-thirds vote. The principles In
volved In these bills by the action Of the De-
mocracy become important issues in the canvass
on which the country is entering. All Of them
received the united appreciation Of the Repub-
lican members Of both branches.
An extra session Of the Senate, for executive
purposes. was called by the President immedi-
ately on the adjournment.

with what execration should the statesman be
loaded, who, permitting one halt the citizens
