The nominations made BY the Convention at
Baltimore last week, are the subject Of fee
comment by the press and the people. No OEe
eau painsay the eminent rosPectabi!ty of the
ticket, but It 50 happens that Tespectability Is
POwerless sgainst tie aggrssaiOns of the pro-
slavery Democracy. John Bell, Of Tennessee
is Statesman Of much experience and some
sagaeity be hes no very brilliant qualities
and is Of the negative rather than the positive
or active stamp. Edward Everett Of Aassa-
ehusetts, is well known throughout the ooun'
try as finished scholar, and a statesman with
whom patriotism has become morbid. Whns
his political record is not positively bad one
It shows no acts which tend to place him very
high ia the scale Of ststssmanshiP. He was
q member Of the Senate at the time Of the pass
aye Of the Nebraska bill, but did not vote on
that measure
But the character of the men placed in
nomination by the Baltimore Convention
Is matter of small consequence except
sofar as they are men representative OF
the principles Of their party That party has
decided upon assuming position Of neutrality
IN reference to the questions Of the day Inc
one Rrest difference ich'divides the political
sentiment Of the country is BY them PrOnOunc-
ed an abstraction.n They adopt for their
platform q sentence of meaningless words
They meet as they met twenty years ago,snd act
as might have been proper 80 years since but
the co trse is now ridiculous. In the first years
of the Republic, when political relations, inter
nal and external, were in crude state, party
which adopted the Constitution" without
note or comment, as its platform, would have
had sound principles if not enough Ofthem. The
questions as to the Interpretation of the Con
stitution, which were then, if discussed at all
of minor importance, have grown with the ma
ton 'sgrowth and strengthened with its strength
until now they OvershadOw all others, and de-
nand a solution. The possible fate of regionI
larger than Rome was mistress Of, depends
upon the answer, and the future of people
more numerous than the afbiters, viii be in
Huenoed BY it. The inevitable struggle bal
triumphed over ell checks, OEerthrOwn all par
ties which ignored it, and after each attemP
at suppression has been the stronger.
In view of all these facts-better known t
none than to those who have before tried tn
Baltimore plan-JOhn Bell aud Edward Ever
EFT stand before the country as the representa-
tives of party which proposes to ignore thi
entire question. Mr.. Bell is the Ajax, am
Mr. Everett the Hercules, who are to say :
the dissension which 8 nation e4nnot svsr
while the cause exists, Peace, be still" Wit
as much reason might a mariner attempt t
Ignore the gale which drives him to q have
of safety or to the rocks of destruction. Tn
issue is a vital one. and each day brings neare
the time Of It's inevitable decision.
What have the people to do with the Ri
Van Winkle platform at such a time as th
present!

"NoEsINTERoOURsE" ExFLoDED.-The New

the exports of shoes from Boston to the South

want you TO understand that it is not to be as
It has been heretofore. The brother missiona-

SACRAMENTO VALLEY Rail RoAD.-At the time the
proposition was first made in the City Of Sacramen
to, to compel the Rail Road company torcmove their
tracks from Front street in that city, we designed
offering some objections to it. But prior to any
comments Of ours upon the subject, the Board of
Supervisors acted in the premises. 1t seems they
concluded to leave the decision Of question to the
voters of Sacramento City at the mex; election.--
Now this NAV be all right, because the citizens OF
Sacramento have the most direct interest in the mat
tcr but It also concerns all citizens If the State,
who either travel on, ship freight to or from the
interior, BY the Rail Road In this view Of the case
and il is correct feel authorized TO enter
our protest against the attempted movement.
As the Rail Road is now arranged, it is exceeding
~ convenient to the travelling public. The cars
running within the city limits enable those travellers
intending sjnurn there, to reach their homes and
hotels and those en- route for San Francisco or other
points, to get to the steamboats, without being besct
by a noisy crowd Of hackmcn. cabmen and porterS,
ever ready to practice the vcSt and most pittul i'm.
position upon those uEfortunaes who fall into their
clutches.
without desiring to be Intermediates, we feel con-
strained TO urge our Sacramento neghbors to take
liberal view cf this natter otherwise they may
| be no inconsderable losers in the end The spirit
of Rail Road enterprise Is abroad in the land. and

ed by the municipal authorities may diver, the ben
efts and blessings Of Rail Road communication
