WHAT IS PENDING.

The democratic national convention has
been watched with great interest everywhere,
and especially by those connected with the
party it represents. 1t has tried their patience
by its slowaess in coming to a result; and it
has from time to time kindled their wrath and
provoked them to many swift words of ours
ing. And yet, none of this excitement has
been produced by concern for great public in
terests, nor enthusiasm for democratic IDEAS
Ideas, principles, great public interests, these
things are of no account now a days, in
democratic national convention. We know
beforehand, that the slave interest will
dictate its platform and regulate all its
proceedings, and that no principle or idea
will be permitted to interfere with its devotion
to the slave interest. In fact one part OF the
regular business of the democratic party is to
eXterminate all ideas unfriendly to that inter
est No, the anxiety and excitement awaken
ed by the Baltimore convention relate not to
measures but to men. There has been great
strife as to what set Of men in the party shall e
have control of the organization and the spos.
A great party, protesting to be democratic,
and claiming right to rule the country, should
mean a great deal more than this. Its public
discussions should awaken emotions Of
very different character. AT Charleston
and at Baltimore the representatives of
the democratic party have convinced the
whole country that it has no just claim to
longer lease of existence and, finally, they
have reduced the old concern to a hopeless
wreck. Now let the people bury it out of
sight among the rubbish of the ages, and
transfer the government to live party, to a
party that has ideas and means honest work.
Who would go for the decision or discussion
of great question to such an assemblage as
that which has been in session in Baltimore
One would as soon go 10 pandemonium for
heavenly music. Compare the emotions
awakened by the proceedings of that assem-
study of any great enthusiasm for a principle,
with those emotions, for instance, with
which we watch Garibadi and the party of
freedom in Italy.
To destroy this republic its enemies must
first destroy the ideas and the spirit which
gave it existence. We can safely defy every 9TH
er danger; and we may defy this also until the
country becomes incapable of anything better
than submission to such political party as
that which elected James Buchanan, and final
ly died at Baltimore of his administration

EXCURSION OF THE RHEToBICAL SOCIETY.
A company Of about fifty ladies and gentle
men connected with the Young Mems Rhetor-
ical Society of this city, improved the delight
full weather yesterday, by picnic tour about
the shores and islands of Lake Quinsigamond.
They went by cars to Davis Cottage, and after
spending an hour or two very pleasantly in
boating, fishing, wood rambles and other plea
SAINT enjoyments, they spread their picnic
INDUCED in speeches and sentiments. The
day was spent in various exercises, both agree
able and beneficial. They could not have de,
sired a pleasanter day nor more inviting
place in which to enjoy it.

INTERESTING TO AMATEUR OARsMEN.-
1t may not be generally known that a "rrand
international eight-oared match" is expected
to take place in August next, on the river
Thames, for the championship of the world
Gentlemen in England interested in aquatic
sports have sent a challenge to France and
America to participate in the race, from
Putney to Mortlake, either for large
silver cup, nine smaller ones, or nothing
but honor and glory, according to the wishes
of the visitors to the river. All the crews
are to be formed Of amateurs and bona tide ma.
tives ftheir respective countries. The Coun-
try Gentlenan's newspaper, published in Lon
don, says of it.:
1t is proposed to call meeting of all the
amateur rowing clubs in the kingdom, and re-
quest each club to send contribution towards
the great expenses OF the match, and also to
offer one or two OF their best oarsmen to form
the crews from which the elected committee
can select the creW. We sincerely hope that
this much .talked.of match may take place, as,
if il does, we can clearly see that it will do
more towards increasing the number Of anna
telir rowers all over the world than anything
else, as the excitement that such novel and
interesting race would create would be inn
mense, and far outstrip all other regattas or
boat races, and cause the greatest enthusiasm,
not only among oarsmen, but among morrow
ers also, who would thus be induced to take to
aquatics,
1t is annoueed that the Society of Aquatic
Sports on the Seine" is prepared to accept the
challenge, provided the number of rowers is re-
duced to six rs the rules Of the regatta socie-
ties Of Paris do not admit eightoared races in
their programmes. The grand match is much
talked of both in the united kingdom and in
France, and is exciting profound interest
among the elite Of the rowing clubs Of both
countries. The Country Gentlemen's news
paper, quoted above, adds that "they have not
yct had time for a reply from the United
States, so'eannot say how the proposal will be
received By our cousins on the other side oftlic
Atlantic; but we have strong hopes that they
will tlke up the challenge with that spirit aud
love q manly sports for which they are justly
noted"

FLORAL CURIosIrY.-Mr. John Barrett of
Ashby, has presented us a blossom taken from
one OF his apple trees, having almost precisely
the appearance of large double white rose.
The ordinary apple blossom, It's well known,
has only tour petals or leaves, forming sim
gle row around the flower. The specimen be-
fore US has four distinct and regular rows, be-
sides an irregular cluster in the centre in place
of the usual Stamens of the flower, making
from twenty-five to thirty instead of the usual
number of leaves. The blossom is two and
half inches across, and Mr.. Barrett informs us
was taken from a thrifty and rapidly growing
tree. 1t is one Of these curious freaks of
floral developement in which by vigorous
growth, or other cause, the fertilizing organs
Of the flower are changed into leaves or petals,
bearing the neutral or unproductive If all
the apple blossoms were of this C aracter, the
consequence would be a beggarly account of
empty barrels next fall Our gardens and
front yards present numerous instances in
which through the influences Of cultivation
single flowers have been permanent changed
to double ones, though not always as in this
case, rendering them wholly Improbable.
The double roses, peonies, tulips, dahlias, &C.,
are all instances of a change of this kind, and
are striking examples Of what may be done
lS preserving any skillful cultivation of a sim
pie flower.

Political Items.

The republicans of Michigan propose to give
magnificent flag to the republicans of the
state which shall give the largest relatively in
creased majority for Lincoln as compared with
its majority for Fremont in 1856. The Albany
Evening Journal is confident the republicans
of New York would enter the contest with
strong hope and purpose to win the prize.
The German republicans of Newark, n. j.,
are thoroughly organizing for the campaign.
They have efficient clubs in nearly every
ward, and are to have central association to
which the ward clubs arctic be auxiliary. This
class Of our fellow-citizens are to be among
the most Jealous and effective in the canvass.
1t is reported that the president is preparing
a document, which will be sent to the country,
showing up the objects and intentions of the
whole pack Of maligners who have endeavor-
ed coverlly to injure and defeat his admins.

The DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION

The DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
at Baltimore has finally divided into two hos
tile camps; and the quarrel between them is
not about principles, but about men and the
spoils There is nobody at the south who
really believes that Douglas will not go as far
in support of the slave interest as any other
man in the party but there are many north
and south, who believe, and believe truly, that
Douglas in the presidential chair would slaugh-
ter them, politically, without mercy. Hence
this stubborn fight There will now be two
democratic candidates for the presidency
Douglas and Howell Cobb, perhaps; and then
hurrah for Lincoln, the next president!
