The National Convention.

The Democratic National Convention met
at Charleston on Monday of last week and or
ganized by appointing Col Francis B. Flour
noy, of Arkansas, temporary chairman. On
Tuesday morning the comultte on permanent
organization, reported the name of Hon Ca
leb Cushing of Massachusetts as President
Ga taking the chair he delivered an eloquent
and appropriate address. The committee on
credentials reported in favor of admitting the
Douglas delegation from Illinois, and the
Dean Richmond or Anti Wood delegates from
New York. Tne report was approved. a
committee to prepare and report a Platform
was appointed, aud it it was determined not
to proceed to ballot for Presidential nominees.
until Platform had been adopted. Since
then majority of the committee reported
platform, and at the same time two minority
reports were presented. After an exciting
debate, they were all with some other resolu-
tions offered by members of the Convention,
referred back to tho Committee. The COM
mittee again reported on Saturday evening.
Two minority reports were again presented.
The Convention adjourned amid much excite
ment until Monday morning without having
taken any action on the reports. The South
ern delegates demand that the platform shall
contain a resolution declaring it to be a car
dina' doctrine of the Democratic party, that
Territorial Legislatures have not the power
to abolish slavery in the Territories. The
Douglas delegates are of of course opposed
TO such resolution. We presume the PLAT
FORM would be finally disposed of Monday
morning, and that the Convention would
then proceed Immediately to ballot for can
didate for President. The proceedings thus
far have no. beer as harmonious as we hoped
they would be, but we think that as sool as
the platform is adopted, harmony and good
feeling will obtain the ascendency once
more

HoMEoPATHY--Am the inventions and
improvements with which the day is SO rife,
that made by Prof. Humphreys is not among
the least With all the superiority of the
Homeopathic System of Medicine over that
of the old school In its freedom from danger
aud the ease and pleasantness with which its
medicines may be taken or given to children.
is still remained an intricate system for the
people to use From the fact that a single
medicine is given at a dose, aud each appli-
cable to only certain symptoms. large hum

tions became necessary in order to their USE
And what is worse, these directions are Of
the most nice and discriminating character.
so that often the longer one looked and stu
died, the more puzzled he became, nor could
any amount of learned lumber, 10 the way
of Domestic Manuals, explain the matter.
At this precise point the discovery of Prof.
Humphreys comes in. He aseertained from
repeated experiments, what had been before
denied that certain medicines in this system
might be harmonipusly combined in a single
remedy which possessed, in good part, the
advantages of its ingredients, and upon this
principle forms series of Specific Remedies
for each of the more common diseases or ali
ments. With these all uncertainty and en-
barrasment in giving the remedies is avoided,
and they may be properly administered by
any person of ordinary intelligence. His
Improvement is certainly valuable, and one
which throws the benefits of this beautiful
and efficient system into the bauds of the
people. and must prove blessing to thous-
ands. His Specifies are spoken of in high
terms by those who use them, and We can
readily conceive must prove valuable addi-

many precedeDts in our history commencing
IN the very best age of sthe Republic. of the
admission OF Territories as States into the
Union, without previous vote Of the people
approving their Constitution.
Thus another attempt to misrepresent and
place tie President in a false position falls to
the ground. Mr.. Walker states that he re-
Trained from publishing the letter of the Pres
iden during 1859, because he was afraid
that by SO doing he might dissolve the Union
or imperil the Government. We can see
nothing in this brief epistle. calculated to
produce such dire consequences. When it
was read before the Covode Committee. Meth
er the heavens thundered nor the earth rock
ed. Since then all has been peace and tran
guilty, and we have not yet any reason TO
doubt that the Union will continue to stand
fast in Its place of power and of beauty forever.
The course of certain Democratic papers in
joining the Black Republicans in their howl
of exultation over the publication of this let
ter, is too contemplate to merit censure At
the present time union and harmony is essen
tial not only to the success but to the exist
ence OF the Democratic party. and no man
who is sincerely its friend would now attempt
to inJure it by reviving the Lecompton con-
troyersy. The two wings of the party in this
State are now united, and the dead past has
been permitted to bury its dead. Of course
it is the true policy of the Black Republicans
to revive old fends in our ranks, but it is an
undertaking unworthy Of sincere Democrats.
At this crisis in the history Of the party, none
but traitors and renegades would attempt it.

Congress Under the Census Of 1860.

From the basis of the census taken in sew
eral States since the last national census. the
following estimate has been made, and the
main fact envolved has more to do with the
avowed purposes of the disunionists of the
South than the Harper's Ferry affair:
States which will lose numerical power in
Congress- Alabama. l; Connecticut, l;
Georgia, /; Kentucky, 8; Massachusetts, /;
North Carolina, 1; New York. 3; Ohio. 1;

mont, l.
The States which will gain representatives
are:-Illinois, 5; Indiana, /; Iowa, 4; Michi-
gau. 2; Missouri. l.; Texas, 3; Wisconsin, 2
The other States will stand as they are.
All the old and large States of the Union,
without exception, lose ground relatively.
and most of them positively. The South
loses ground largely; the new State of Texas
having five fold the territory of the old States
aud aging west of the Mississippi, is the only
one that gains. The only part of the Union
which positively gains is the Northwest. The
Northwest gains Is Representatives and 2
