1t will be observed, from this vote,
that thirteen States-Maine. New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Delaware, South Carolina, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Iowa-had not one delegate present
These States may be of no consequence
in Mr.. Breckinridge's estimation; but, so
far as nationality is concerned, the black
republican convention at Chicago made
better exhibition.
1t will be observed, also, that Virginia
cast but eleven and half votes out of
fifteen Mr.. Glass, whose name appears
among the delegates, although he retired
from the convention, did not, as his re-
cent address states, unite with the seces-
sonists. Georgia was represented by
thirty delegates, although that State has
but ten votes; California by majority
of proxies, and Maryland by bare ma
iority of the delegation. Twelve indi-
viduals appear to have been present from
Pennsylvania, but only four votes were
cast, which shows that, in fact, there
were but eight seceders in that delcga-
ton. North Carolina and Tennessee
were represented by majorities of their
respective delegations; but kentucky,
Mr.. Breckinridge's own State, gave him
only four and half votes of the twelve
to which that State is entitled in the ma
tional convention. Florida was repre-
scented, and her three votes cast, by a
delegation which was accredited only to
the scccders' convention at Richmond,
and which, by letter addressed to the
regular convention at Baltimore, refused
to ask admission, or to recognize that
body in any way. Louisiana and Ala
bama each appeared by delegations which

DR.. SWEETS INrALLIBLE LINIMENT.-
We cannot longer refrain from calling
attention to this really valuable and pop
ular article. AS an external remedy it
appears destined to supersede all others,
and we doubt if there is another 30 power
full, safe and efficacious. 1t is noticed
by the press throughout the country in
the most hattering terms; and many Of
the cures performed by it are, to say tho
least, wonderful. We hail with pleasure
the advent Of any agent which is able to
relieve suffering humanity Of the ills
which flesh is heir to, and most heartily
wish it success. 1t will certainly do to
give it trial. Observe the propristor's
advertisement and caution in another COL
umn.-Iamnton Gazette.

On motion of Mr. Clark, of Missouri,
at the instance of Mr.. Hodge, of Virginia,
the question was then propounded from
the chair whether the nomination of
Douglas should not be, without further
ceremony, the unanimous act of the con-
vention and of all the delegates present,
the chairman nelly requesting that
any delegate who objected whether or
not having votedD should signify his dis
sent. No delegate disse nted; and thus,
at last, was Stephen a. Douglas unani-
mously nominated in convention rep
resenting more than two-thirds of all the
electoral votes as the candidate of the
democratic party for the Presidency of
of the United States.
Was it irregular thus 10 propose a
candidate? If so, Lewis Cass was irregu-
larly nominated at Baltimore in 1915
which no man ever preteded-for the
same method was adopted in his case.
Subsequently, Gov. Fitzpatrick, of Ala
bama, having declined the nomination
for Vice President, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee lin pursuance of au-
thority conferred upon it) rendered that
position to an eminent son of Georgia,
Herschel V. johnson, who accepted it
without hesitation, and whom the de-
mocracy of the Union will support with
confidence, and pride, and pleasure.
MEETING OF THE sECEDERs AT BALTIMORE.
1t did not rise to the dignity of con-
vention; it was a mere assemblage of
odds and ends, without formal proclama-
ton, without authority from any State,
in open contravention of democratic pol
icy and democratic usages. The scceders
would not risk the experiment Of proceed
ing to Richmond, although the delegation
! from South Carolina was there waiting
for them, and adjourning the "conven-
ton" from day to lay for their accommo-
dation. They invented the farce, there
fore, of an impromptu gathering at the
Maryland Institute in Baltimore; and
having consummated their scheme by the
adoption of meaningless platform, and
the nomination of John G.. Breckenridge
and Joseph Lane, the seceders from Ala.
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Ar
kansas, Georgia and Florida, proceeded
to Richmond, and there, "by reclamation,

That Dreadful Mistake.

Our friend Of the Alleganian seems to he
greatly troubled about our exposure of his
Views on Free Negroisn and Foreigners, and
tries to explain away his meaning, bysaying
that he refers TO northern population. We
hope that Pennsylvanisus and other north
ern people, who have settled in Maryland,
will take the compliment. What say you
brother Allegaoaa, shall we &c: up mob
and drive them out But we contend that
the meaning we attached to the Allega-
nian's article WAS the correct one, and the
only ore that It will bear. Our free negroes
are principally engaged as laborers on farms,
as porters, and Gomestics in the families Of
our citizens when you drive them out there
will be vacant field in these. occupations
Who will fill it, No. the Yankees, because
they do no. generally engage in these occu-
pations. Not the PenDsylvanians, for Penn
sylvania laborers seldom emigrate to Mary
land. Not the English or Scotch, for they
are generally miners or mechanics. Who
else then can he meant but our German and
Irish fellow citizens, who work upon our
farms and roads, and in our families, where
these colored people are employed.
For ourselves we oppose the infamous free
negro bills, not because we fear the coming
Of freemon to settle upon our soil and to raise
up al intelligent and hardy population for
our State, bu. becsuse humanity and justice
do not allow us to tolerate an act Of oppres-
sion. Our friend would do better, by &C
knowledging his fault and begging pardon of
his good German and Irish friends, whom he
ha, so wantonly outraged.
In order that he may Do So in the exercise
Of our good nature, We give him the benefit
Of such course, by publishing the entire par
agraph containing the obnoxious sentiments,

journal, he may DO able to put just and le-
climate construction upon his damaging
charge against majority OF his party, as also
to afford our fellow citizens Of foreign birth,
an opportunity to sea how far thsir. fast friend
Of the Alleganian Is disposed to correct his
bunders and to Go them Justice. Here is thu
paragraph:
"The enactment Of oppressive laws, instead
Of abating the evils for which they are de-
