THE Baltimore National C0nven-
ton, known as the Seceders Conven-
ton, which assembaled last week has
some things in its favor. The business
of the convention appears to have been
conducted in All orderly manner; there
was no rowdyism, no black eyes and
bloody noses. In this respect it was
quite unlike the Douglas gathering,
the ticket nominated, is perhaps as
strong one as could have been made
by the party, and will command the
votes of the southern democratic States
