Lincoln and lIamlin-A Wet Blanket.

The enthusiasm will not up-the people
will not shout $50 is not ls40. Such
is the sad conclusion Of the Abolition lead
ers as they see the cold Indifference with
which the nominations are received.
The Germans find that they are to be
forced, willing or unwilling, to support
Know Nothing for President, although
they had proclaimed their choice to be
Seward, aud had demanded his nomina-
ton as the price of their allegiance. The
Chase men feel that their candidate was
slaughtered in the house Of his friends
that even Ohio would not support his pre-
te ensions. The friends Of Seward feel that
an 'irrcpressiblc conflict against their ia
vorite has brought him to the ground by
tbs thrust of 'base marauding lance
The prestige of victory is not with the op-
position-they have no heart for the work,
no stomach for the fight. Their nomina-
ton fell like wet blanket upon the most
ardent of the opposition. With good
candidate on the part of the Democracy
the victory will be an easy one.

they will support him warmly, if fairly and
equally nominated We hope to be able

traction, but union, harmony, and long
strong pull together.

Baltimore Convention.

We do not anticipate that our feeble
voice can be heard above the turmoil and
tumult at Baltimore, but if it could, We
would say;
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION -
Count that man the relentless enemy Of
the democratic party and Of the country,
vho insists upon the nomination of any one
candidate over and against all others. Do
not suffer yourselves to sacrifice the good
o' the whole for the sake Of one part. Re-
member that in union alone, there is strength
and success. And while that is true, do
not forget that the spirit which is generous
to one portion at the expense Of the other,
is the spirit of injustice, and of disunion,
Cast it out from you and remember that
you are the honorcd representatives of the
whole party, that you can destroy, but you
cannot create.
No man now living originated the Demo-
cratic party-no man has fec simple in
it-no man can claim it as his own. The
doctrine that any man has superior and
ovcrshadowing claims upon the party, is a
most pornicious one; but it is perfectly
sound to say that the party as a whole has
u positive and undeniablc claim 10 the
ability and honest exertions of its every
individual member. Were there not great
men before Agamcmancn, and is Stephen
Arnold Douglas, the last of the race of
men qualified for the Office of Pre- ident!
Where then are Breckenridge, and Dick,
inson, and Guthrie, and Cushing, and
Hunter, and Lane, and Davis, and Dallas,
al of them the peers and most Of them
superior to Mr.. Douglas
If any one man is Objectionable to a
large majority Of the party, why insist
that he shall be nominated Mr.. Doug
las utterly denies and repudiatcs a right
claimed by the citizens of fifteen States Of
this confedcracy. Is it reasonable, is it
Just to force those citizens to vote for this
man who thus refuses them, what the con-
stituton.is thought to guarantee to all
Equal rights Or, on the other hand is
it polite to force those fifteen States out
of the party, and thus permit the Demo
cratic party in the North to be utterly an
initiated If the South were to claim
that the northern citizen had no right in
the common Territory of the nation, what
tremendous storm would be raised but
the North makes just that claim, and i,
indignant that the South does not quietly
acquicscc Shame on such inequality.
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION -
Pause before you commit such a stupen
tlous crime as a sectional division of tn,
democratic party-such an cgrcgious erro
rs the nomination Of a man, rcpudiltod b,
one half of the States We are loyal-d,
you be just We will support rcgula
nomination, see that no charge can b.
made, Of irregularity The fate Of th'
country is with you. God grant you ma.
l'e equal to the great emergency.

WORTHY OF NoTa-Thc L. S. naval
officers, uud.r orders from Democ. afic

Patrio', recently captured three slavers
having about 1900 Africans on board
and the negroes were taken t. Key West.
A Dem0erutic President al once urged
upon Congress the duty ofprompt. y pro
yiding for their return TO Africa; and a
De.noratic Secretary made a contract u
their support there. \ Dem cr1tic Sen
ate promptly passed a bill approprlating
500 900 for the return Of those negroes
AMI the execution of that contract But
the Wc.ck rrpuJHcn House of Rcprescu-
tativcs have delayed the passage of the bill
and cncumbercd it with amendments so
that it will have to go back to the Senate
thus delaying the return of the negroes
and probably causing many deaths and
much suffering among them. Yet we are
told that the Democratic party and the
Administration are conniving at the slave
trade and ncgccting their duty in regard
to the ex x,cution of laws upon the subject,
while the black republicans are running
over with pity for the poor captiyes and
indignation towards their cruel captors

up all existing differences, and that the
Democracy would rally to his standard
with will and enthusiasm not witnessed
since the days of jackson ! All of us,
Hards, and Softs, Administration men and
Douglas men, feel that we could merge all
feuds and jcalouscs in the one great end OF
clevating to the Presidency man so wor
thy Of our suffrages. There can be no
mistaking this sentiment of the New York
Democracy in favor of Mr.. Dickinson
The Independent Republican, published
at Goshen, Orange County, says'
"We will only say that we consider Mr..
Dickinson, for tirmness, experience, patri-
otism and true political wisdom head and
shoulders above any statesman of his age
Therefore we support him' We might con-
tent ourselves by saying that the Democ :.
racy of New York, when cordially and
heartily united, have never suffered defeat.
And we. assert what we know to be true,
and what we do not believe any one will
even attempt to controvert, and that is,that
the nomination of Daniel s. Dickinson
would unite the entire Democracy of New
York more firmly, because more heartily,
than at any period since its first and ear
liest divisions
The Albany Argus remarks
"But we assert it fearlessly: Never was
there less division in the Democracy in the
State of New York than at this moment,
and the The Cattaraugus County Republi.
can says that The ALBANY Argus thus
truthfully remarks"
The Elmira Gazette, published in Che
mung County, says, speaking of Mr.. Dick
inson
"This distinguished patriot and states
man is receiving from all quarters the en-
comiums due to hi exalted worth an cmi-
nent ability"
The Deposit Courier of Delaware Coun-
ty says:
"T he signs of the times point to his cl-
evatcn to still higher honors, as true as
the needle to the poles"
The Dunkirk Press and Argus, publish
ed at Duukirk, Chatauqua County, says
"1n our view, no man in the Union can
do so much toward combining the whole
strength Of the New York Democracy As
Daniel S. Dickinson"
The Poughkecp.ic Telegraph, published
in Dutchesa County, says:
"This nomination (of Mr.. Dickinson
would rally in this State a mi shty host ol
devoted and active friends
We were enabled some short time since
t. set forth the views Of the Democratic
Press in California, Missouri, &C., strong
ly urging the nomination Of Mr.. Dickin-
son; but We feel a deeper interest ju.t at
this time-on the eve OF the meeting OF the
Convention at Charleston, to be able to
satisfy every doubling mind But, il nom.
mated, Mr.. Dickinson would surely car
ry this state.
These editorial items will have more
weight when we reflect upon the fact that
an editor would hesitate to place his proph-
cy iu print, where it could ever be brought
to his notice in ths event Of failure, if his
conclu lions w.re not warranted by Iii
best convictions.

Mr.. DOUGLAS IN V1RGINIA.-Mr. Douglas, in
stead of making supporters by his current
tour in Virginia, is positively driving from
his support hundreds who were inclined to
vote for the Stanton electoral ticket His
one speech firstdelIvered lin Virginia) at Nor
folk, has proved his only speech so far delv-
cred either IN North Carolina or Virginia, and
its every point has been conclusively answer
ed by every Democratic party journal in both
those States, with appropriate expositions of
the turbulence and mendacity of his bearing
upon the stump, and the charlatanism of his
assumptions of strength before the people,.
and of the accusations of disunion hurled by
him against the entire Democratic party of
the South. The fact that he and his Virginia
followers are now in open and fragrant affili-
alton with the Virginia Know Nothing party
to the avowed end of prostrating the Demo-
cratic cause in the State, has also been made
plain to the comprehension of all. The con-
sequence is, that though he not long since
had a few followers there sincerely attached
to the Democratic party, he has already man
aged to drive them off from him; thus redu-
cling his party in the Old Dominion almost
wholly to Know Nothings who temporarily
united themselves to the Democratic party on
the dissolution of their own organization
men who never protested adhesion to the doc
trines of the resolutions of l79S-the real
test of entire identification, in Virginia, with
the Democracy. Wherever he speaks he Gre
ates pretty much such u sensation as Dan Rice
does when making his periodical tours
through the State; and people flock to see
and hear him precisely as they flock to see
and hear that prince of testers in the ring"
The telegraphic dispatches describing his vic
tories are written to order and well paid for,
and are objects Of universal ridicule through
out Virginia: as his arrogant impudence up-
on the stump is the object or subject of ami
versal indignation and contempt on the part
OF the Old Dominion's Democratic party,
whom he has undertaken to SANDER SO infa-
mously to their faces, under cover of the pro-
lection accorded to him by the opposition men,
who, being engaged in playing him as the
main card they hold in their hand flock
around him in great numbers, speak Where
he will .-Star.

FEARS OF FAMINE IN LoursIANA.--It APP
pears that in Natchitoches Paris, La, they
are actually fearful of a famine, owing to the
shortness of the crops. A writer in the chron-
icle, published in that section of the State,
proposed petitioning the Governor to convene
the Legislature at an early day, for the pur-
pose of appropriating funds to meet the ext
gencies of the case. The writer says:
The people in this portion of the State are
now in the utmost need of help from some
source, to prevents famine and its consequent
miscres and death. Every day brings to our
ears the distressing information of the blast
ing of the husbandman's hopes. Thousands
of acres of grain have not yielded the seed
planted. The forest crop Of acorns and nuts
is blasted and gore. The grass is dried and
there is no hope for grain or meat for the
years supply being raised by our farmersa
The cotton crop is ruined except on the mar
gin of the rivers and bayous and on the low
lands. All-the upland cotton is a failure, SC
the dependence on cotton to afford means tC
purchase corn and meat is lost to hundreds.

Mr.. Lincoln as an old-fashioned wing y
rather than as an abolitionist.
The dclusion under which they have been

the country.
Divested of the 'namby PANTY stuff" that

boldly put that it is struggle which is TO
