WHAT Is THOUGHT THE RICHMOND CONVENTION /
PROBABILITY OF A GRAND ROW AT BALTIMORE. I
The action of the Democratic Convention at
meets with the general appreciation of
the Democratic members of Congress. But there |
appears to be gloomy foreboding in the minds of
most OF them that there is crisis at hand which
cannot be averted, and which is pregnant with the
most tremendous results. The Douglas delegates |
resolved not to admit the seeding delegates as
far as they have the power to exclude but to admit
IN their stead bogus delegates appointed to fill the
vacant places. Very much depends on the delega-
ton from New YORK, which holds the balance of
power. That explosion will take place is almost
certain, and it will be brought about in this way.
Judge Smalley, the Chairman of the Committee
of Arrangements at the Charleston Convention,
who acted so unfairly in excluding the Wood
delegation from the floor claims the right to issue
tickets for the Baltimore Convention. That claim
is denied, as his powers ceased when the Charleston
Convention organized But the new National
Democratic Committee was appointed, on account
of the sudden breaking up of the Convention
Under these circumstances Mr. Caleb Cushing,
the Chairman of the Convention, has the right to
issue the tickets, and he will issue them.
There will be thus double set of tickets issued.
At all events, Mr.. Cushing will supply the South
seeding delegates with tickets; and they will
be admitted; and the question will then arise, how
they to be put out? The Douglas leaders, find
ing them present, will ask them whether they will
be bound by the decision of the Convention If Dou-
glas should be nominated? III they shOld not give
a satisfactory answer, the Douglas faction Will
protest against their right to be there and if they
can will expel them, and admit their own friends
from the same States, and thus nominate their IA
vorite.
1t is needless to say that under the circumstances
the seeding delegates will secede second time,
and perhaps bring others with them. and that
there will be another Demo cratic candidate in the
field. This breaking up will probably take place
on Tuesday, and the Richmond Convention will
meet on the goth, one day earlier than namod, and
that in pursuance of the call of the chairman, who
is vested with discretionary power to convene the
seceders sooner il necessary. Thus there is less
hope of union and harmony than ever, and great
probability of the election of the Republican
candidate.
Bad work is anticipated at Baltimore. An i'm
mense number of rowdies from this city, from Phil
adelphia and New York, with thousand fighting
men from Illinois and Ohio, expect at the Mon
umental City. The contact of these elements with
the Plug Uglies must necessarily lead to violence.
MR.. YANCEY, AND WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO.
Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, is quite lion in town.
He was called upon at his lodgings last night and
urged to make a speech, but declined. lie remark
ed too day that he is in favor of less talk and more
work. He expresses himself freely in regard to
his course at Baltimore, and says that he shall go
there and quietly inform the Convention what is
the wish of his State in the nominatiOn-that they
are opposed to Douglas. If he is nominated, al
though it will be hard to do, they will acquiesce
put up another ticket, and oppose him in the field
with all the power they can exert. AT the same
time, Mr. Iancy repudiates the idea of breaking
| up the Union.

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
Mr.. Douglas will suffer most at Baltimore from
the want of some able and influential leader in the
| South, who has position and character enough to
| give him weight with delegates from that section.
Mr.. Stephens of Georgia, was expected to perform
this part at Charleston, but could not attend being
then engaged in an important criminal case in Ala
bama He will now be kept away by illness, thus
depriving Douglas of his important aid at the most
critical juncture. The impression gains ground
that the Convention cannot agree upon any basis
| of compromise. Both interests more hostile
than when they separated befoi e, and each charge
the other with the responsibility of that rupture.
| The South Carolina delegates not commissioned
| to Baltimore, but motion will be made for their
| admission the same footing other seceders,
which will necessarily be resisted. Two candidates
are regarded as almost inevitable. Mr.. Davis
will be urged by the Southern interest, but his
name may possibly prejudice the movement, a COM
| bination between Messrs. Hunter and Dickinson is
now proposed as the effective mode of striking
Mr.. Douglas down at the South.
| THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL CoNyEN-
TON.
The Richmond correspondent of the New York
| Express says:
| What has been done already has been by way OF
| a mild hint or of bold intimidation the Balti-
more delegates. Should Douglas be named there
the expectation is to add to the nine States seced
ing at Charleston, delegates from Mary land, Della
ware, Oregon, Kentucky, Missouri and California.
The fifteen slave States, and the two States of Ore
gon and California, making the majority, the hope
is that Southern Convention may be held, which
will put candidate in the field endorsed by ma
jority of States. The speculation fever runs high
| upon results. All of the delegates here expect
| high times at Baltimore and go prepared for con.
sequences. -Four Presidential tickets among
| the probabilities now.

| THE ADJOURNED DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
We need hardly state that the partisans of Sena-
tor Douglas, here and elsewhere are moving heav
en- and earth, it were, to compass the exclusion
from the adjourned Democratic National ConVen
ton, of the delegates from the eight extreme
| Southern States who sat in the same Convention
at Charleston. One and all, they freely admit that
such is their purpose, because all hope OF even the
pretence of Democratic nomination of Douga;
hinges upon its success. Many around seem tC
fear its success, in which belief do not share
because, if it succeeds, its will make assu
| rance dOubly sure that Douglas, thus nominated
| will not receive single electoral vote in November
| next

THE BALTIMORE CUNN EETIUN-THREAr5 ThE sECE-

The city is again filled with delegates discussing
| the chances Of candidates in Baltimore The
| friends of Douglas are still sanguine, while the
ultras terribly, and threaten to break up the
Convention, il Douglas does not yield. The Geor
gia delegates have declared their intention not to
enter the Convention, but to remain here and avail
the result. the delegates are Steamlng freely, anC
a collision among them i'll advance would cause M
surprise here. 1t seems to be quite certain that

| THE REJECTION OF THE SOUTHERN sECEDERs.
The National Convention has power to go be-
hind the action of the State Convention of sovereign
States and exclude their appointees especially the
latter backed by all the muniments ofreguarity
and the most unequivocal credentials. We cannot
believe, unless madness rule the hour, that any
such suicidal programme is contemplated or car
be successful. Should such stupid policy prevail
| we satisfied, by what know and hear, tina
the delegation of Virginia will at once withdraw
from the Convention, and will doubtless be followed
by the delegations of every other Southern State
| THE VOTE CENsURE
The censure passed by the House of Representa-
tives upon the President and upon his Secretary
of the Navy attracts attention. Some say the
President has as much right to censure the House.
| as the House TO censure him, the Executive being
| a coordinate branch of the government. The
| British theory is that the House is the censor oil
| the Kng-but this is not the American practice
as no Secretaries of the President appear on the
| floor of the House, as in EHgland--and as the Cab
nets existence is not dependent upon House oil
Representative votes. The British theory is, upon
the whole, the better one, think.-N. Y. Er.
