DEMOCRATIC APPLICANT UPSET!
The Mountain has Labored and Brought
Forth Two Mieei
THE PARTY GONE UNDER.

Ihe Baltimore Conventlon, eIter q
week of qusrrelling. backing of eyes,
breaking of heads, and innumerable 9th
err disgrsceful proceedings, has at length
finished its labors, land the Democratic
party, and adjourned. Previous to go
ing into ballot. large number of Del
egates, Northern and Southern, including
several entire State delegations, withdrew
from the Convention. What remained
of the Convention then nominated Doug
las for President, and Fitzpatrick. of AL
ALBANIA, for Vice President-both at pres
emit in the Senate.
The Seceders met and nominated Vice
President Breckenridge for President, and
Gen. 10. Lane for Vice President-like-
wise both now in the Senate.
Twenty States were represented in the
Seceders' Convention. New York and
Pennsylvania were strongly represented.
There were also delegates from Massschu-
sets, Minnesota. lows, and Missouri.
The entire California and Oregon delega-
tons seeded.
There was never q more hopeless case
than that Of the Democracy, in this the
Year of Our Lord 1860-of either the Nor
thsrn or the Southern wing. Douglas
friends had the assurance to claim New
York for him; but the bolt on the part
of that State scatters their calculations
to the four winds. New England they
can have no hope for. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania were counted doubtful be-
fore the recent Democratic defeat of the
Tariff in the Senate. If they still had
any hopes for these States, the upshot Of
the Baltimore Convention dispels them.
The Danites of Illinois, and the Bright,
Fitch and English clique of Indiana, stand
as barriers to Douglas in those States,
which were already sure for Lincoln
The division also certainly secures Oregon.
and in all probability, California, for
Lincoln. The prospect is, therefore, that
Lincoln will carry every Northern State,
and Douglas not a single State.
In the South, the split secures Della
ware either to Lincoln or Bell, and rem
ders Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Louisiana certain for Bell, with the chan
ces greatly in his favor in Virginia, North
Carolina and Missouri. The Brecken-
ridge and Lane ticket may decline, but
the bitterness of feeling that has been en-
gendered, cannot be allsyed. Democra-
cy is doomd. Now is the most favorable
time ever presented, for the Republicans
of Delaware. Maryland, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Texas and Missouri to organize
and vigorously push the good work in
those States.
How have the mighty fallen p 1t
seems but yesterday that the Democracy
boosted that theirs was a National party,
having the same principles in every por-
ton of the Union. They charged the
Republicans with being sectional /; pos
sessed of but one idea, and that idea the
negro. Where now is that great Nation
al Democratic party? Flat on the ground.
What destroyed it That same, identi.
cal, much abused, woolly-headed niger!
Yes, the niger has ruined the party that
never took stock in niggersl 1t is
said that courses. like chickens, come
home to roost." How true is it with this
niger curse, which the Democracy have
striven so unremittingly to saddle up the
Republicans 1t has gone home to roost
and the poor, rotten, filthy roost could
not stand it, but broke down with the
weight!
The Republican party is called section
81, because every State was not represen-
ted in their Convention-nine States had
no delegates there. How was it with the
great National Democratic Convention
the party whose principles are the same
in every State in the Union? When
the ballot was taken which resulted in
the nomination of Douglas, eight States
were not represented, and several others
by but the shadow of delegation. The
States of South Carolina. Georgia, Flor
ida, Mississippi, Texas, Delaware, Cali
fornis, and Oregon, took no part in the
nomination Who is sectional? Whose
sole idea is the niger? Alas, Dsmoc-
