THE DEMOCRATIC CoNvENrloN.-This
body met on Monday last pursuant to ad
jourumcnt from Charleston. As universally
expected. it has proven stormy session. Up
to Thursday night there had occurred an
angry and thrca tcnins alteration in the
Convention between two delegates from Mis-.
souri, a personal collision, in which blows
were struck, in the Committee on Credentials,
between two delegates from Arkansas a
reported duel between two delegates from
Virginia fight, in which weapons fell to
the floor, in the Maltby House. between
Messrs. Whileey and Townsend, of Della
ware; subsequent scrmmagc between the
same gentlemen and personal difficulty
between two Pennsy lvania Delegates, which
subsequently led to a street fight between one
OF the parties and the son of the other, and
afterwards to hostile message. In addition
to the above" chapter Of accidents, or rather
incidents, we have a quarrel between two
New York delegates, terminating in war.
like misslve from one to the other of the
parties, and that will result either in duel
or street fight. it is supposed.
OF course this is all the result of the Dou.
glas and ant.Donslas feeling, rendered more
intense by the introduction of ano thcr element
bad whisky.
Baltimore was said to be improving in
morals under the new police system. prior to
the meeting of the Convention but it is to be
feared that the introduction of SO large n
democratic element into the city has produced
fta'ful relapse.
AT last reports, by Friday Mornings
papers, the Committee on Credentials had
made three reports. The majority report
snSlains the Douglas delegates. and it was
thought would be adopted as the New
York delegates intended supporting il. If so
Virginia. Tennessee ana some Other Southern
States will. it is said. leave the Conventions
together with number of Northern delegates,
and then there will be a general smash up.

BELL AND EVERETT IN MISSOURI The
Richmond Ting says the news from Missouri
is in the highest degree encouraging for Bell
and Everett, and we have little doubt of our
gallant and pat, lotto standard bearers carry.
ing that State in November BY TRIUMPHANT
majority. Indeed, if there is another break
mp at BALTIMORE, We believe that Bell and
Everett will receive the electoral vote ofevery
Southern State, with the exception perhaps
of South Carolina. But hear the 81. Louis
Ncus as to the feeling in Missouri:
" There is no installing the direction in
which the current of popular feeling is begin
ming to set in Missouri, nor the significance
Of the cordial and hearty unanimity tina, per.
vatNs the ranks of the Union Opros,,,on
party. While the hitherto united Demo.
tracy is hopelessly divided by m irreconcila.
BILE discussion into Douglasitcs and Anti
Douglastts. each hating the other with all
the implacable bitterness of personal feud,
the Union men, at the very sound of the
names of Bell and Everett, fall, with cxul,ant
shouts, into ranks and are ready for the
campaign. They are united as one man.
They know no enemies but their old foes and
every impulse, feeling and sentiment, con-
centrate in an ardent, answering devotion to
the noble patriots whose names compose
their tickets.
Throughout the State, in every county. the
old spirit that exhibited itsc!fso glorio,isly in
the last gnbernatorial race. under Rollins, is
ronsng up. with an emphasis and rcsolu-
ton which, show that it has lost none of its
former vigor, out is prepared to enter the field
with even more confident hopes Of redee,ning
the State from the debasing thraldom of
DemocFacy than IN the contest of 1857.
There is no hesitation IN the support which
the Opposition in the interior accord to Bell
and Everett. The names of Lincoln and
lla'nlin excite no other emotion than that of
disgust, outside Of St. Louis; and even here,
1t requires inccssant appeals and all the arti-
tcial devices Of club organizations, to Ere
vent the Republicans from lapsing into utter
indifference. In the country, all who voted
for Rollins, three years ago, will vote for
Bell and Everett now, and their numbers will
be augmented by hundreds of Democrats who
will he estrangcd from their party by the
coming nominations at Baltimore.
A CnEsHISG SIGN IN New JERSEY. Gov.
Olden, of ,yew Jersey. it is stated. has
declared himself for Bell and Everett. MIR.
Olden was last year elected Governor of New
Jersey as q conservative compromise candi-
date. The Democracy, the Americans and
the Republicans had all made their respective
nominations, and there was prospect of
holly contested triangular fight. At this
