TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE 10, 1860.
The Baltimore Convention.

The National Democratic party met IN Baltl-
more again yesterday for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether factiois minority are willing to let
the majority rule and the organization of the most
powerful party which has ever existed IN this
country be continued, or whether in obedience
to the dictates of the arbitrator Yancey and his
unscrupulous minions the party is to be torn into
fragments though it is apparent that the probable
cost may be the existence Of the Union ITSELF
If on the first ballot at Baltimore Douglas IS
found as strong as at Charleston it is clearly the
duty of all who oppose his nomination to give
way aud let it be confirmed by acclamatlon.
Three fourths cannot be expected to yield to one
fourth but there is reason to expect that the
weaker should yield to the stronger force. 1t is
for the party to choose between Douglas and
disoracef1l defeat at the hands of the Black Re-
publicans, for gentlemen may talk as much as they
please about Douglas not being able to carry the
South, vet we think as do thousands Of others,
that no enthusiasm can be kindled in the South by
the nresentation of any other name He is the rep
resentative man of the people, having endeared
himself to them by his bold and intrepid course
on all questions of popular right affecting theirin-
forests. and above all he has ever been the
compromising and fearless defender of slavery.
We would cali the attention of those who revile
Douglas in North Carolina to the fact that when
bitter partzans here denouncing the Mexi-
can War and calling upon Mexicans to meet our
brave soldiers with bloody hands and to extend
to them hospitable graves, Douglas defended and
supported that war. Also when patriots in North
Carolina who are now canvassing the State for
the uroared purpose of elevating the poor man,
were opposing with all their might the annexa-
ton of Texas, by which acquired large guam
tity of slave SOIL Stephen A. Douglas, from free
State stood up boldly and like true patriot as
he is and supported with his giant mind and all the
force of his exalted character the acquisition of
that territory.
We might multiply evidences of Mr.. Douglas
soundness the question of Slavery and of his
devotion to the Union and the Constitution, but
it is useless to argue with those who denounce
men and measures without troubling themselves
with an acquaintance with the facts and records.
One thing is sure, there are but few in the North
who have been true to and the South, and 1t
is ungrateful in any one to denounce these few
because they not of their party.
