The Baltimore Convention.

Now that the Baltimore Convention has drawn
to a close, in looking back upon its proceedings
We all experience a sense Of national humilia-
ton. We recall that this turbulen, fighting as
semblage of fudded men, was convened for the
purpose of nominating President for the Uni
ted States-for selecting 4 man who should be
Chief Magistrate over thirty millions OF people
who pride themselves upon their intelligence and
virtue. Is not the bare possibility, that Presi-
dent selected by such body, should by misrep-
resentation and deceit be elected alarming:
To start with, the dominant interest in the
convention employed iragmentary and fraudulent
delegations to carry out its objects-that from
Arkansas having been arranged by Douglas en-
issaries from Tennessee. Ii went TO the conven-
ton, set in its own opinions and determined to
listen to no others. This same fac. is also true
of the minority. Hence from the very COM
mencement there was nothing like generosity or
decorum in their intercourse. Our very full re-
ports have completely photographed the cOnven
ton. 1t was full of exhibitions of the worst
passions of men. No delegate had confidence
in his fellow. On the least provocation the
peaker would fly into rage, progressing in
many instances with shameful profanity, and
ending in brutal ights, threatened duels, or dis
graceful exhibitions of bsfled anger. The crowd
surrounding the convention naturally entered
into its spirit, and were Boosting noisy drunken
crew-but still the governing classes, men with
whom the delegates associated, and with whom
they consulted. Besides, the convention was in
antagonsm on the slavery question, the delegates
dividing upon geographical lines. This was the
great basis of all other differences. 1t is not
strange that the members of such body flew
apart from natural repulsion, not to say disgust.
From the contentious and parted factions, We
have now one nomination, and shall shortly have
another Neither of them can claim any recon-
mendaton for the source from which they en-
anate. We need no. ask our readers to contrast
the Charleston and Baltimore with the Chicago
convention. They would do it invOluntarily.
The one was as conspicOus for dispatch, charac.
ter, order, and harmonious results, as the other
is for protracted wrangling, vulgar contention,
downright turbulence and fighting, and total va
rance in results. The character of the two con-
yentions illustrates the difference in the charac-
ter of the men who lead the two parties. The
Republicans do not shrink from the comparison.

DOUGLAS IN DErROIT.-The Detroit Tribune
gives discouraging account of the reception Of
the Douglas nomination in that city. 1t says
Had plague been lowering DER the city, more
forlorn, sad and sOmbre set of men could not
have been seen, than the bold Democratic on
Saturday, after the reception of the news of the
nomination of Douglas by the Rump Convention
at Baltimore. There can be no doubt, that had
the nomination of the Little Giant been unani-
nous, some enthusiasm might have been gener-
ated, but the fact that only the tail end of the
gathering should endorse him and present his
name, was damper that will not be recovered
from in hurry. The faces of the Democrats
were long enough when the Douglas news was
received, but when they learned that almost the
entire South had nominated q man in opposition,
the mourning increased. The late candidate for
State Treasurer, wanting to start the ball, crcu-
lated subscription paper to raise funds to buy
powder, but with the exception Of the Custom,
House employees, hardly person gave him any
encouragement, but instead, greeted him with
the inquiry, "What was done with the money
that was raised before?" At the close of the
day, the efforts being unsuccessful, our friend
exclaimed in language more forcible than elegant
Let them 60 to HI, and get their own pow
der" The extent Of the demonstration was q
small bonfire on Jefferson avenue, and innumer
able curses, not loud, but deep.

The Home OF Blair.

The LOcofocos of Jackson are so deeply dis
couraged at the manifest strength of Abraham
Lincoln, and the strong local and general popu.
larity of Austin Blair, that they are becoming
frantic-if possible, more SO than Lansing Loco
focoism itself. The Citizen of the 18th says
"When the Leoni Wide.Awakes had finished
their visit and turned their faces honeward, they
were encountered in the street near the AmeIi-
can by an infuriated crowd Of drunken Douglas
men, who assaulted them ind attempted to dis
perse the procession. A rush was made upon
the large and splendid banner of the Jackson
Club, presented by the ladies in 1856, which
was nobly defended by Messrs. Seaton, Brown,
Bingham, Upton, Stiles, and others, and escaped
with the loss of single silver tassel-seyeral
Democratic brethren, in the meantime, falling
down and rolling over on the pavement. A
charge was next made on the Leoni boys; but
this was but partially successful. The ranks
were somewhat confused, but the Leoni boys
rallied and burst their way through the crowd,
saving all their ensigns except one flag This
was forcibly wrested from young man by the
crowd, and cast into the flames of the Douglas
bonfire. The intention of the Douglas men was
to seize all the banners and the musical instru-
ments Of the Leoni boys and consign them to
the flames. But it failed, and the Democracy
covered themselves with lasting disgrace and
infamy, by their Infamous and cowarily NAL
treatment of the citizens and voters of an adoin.
ing town. The effect will be good, and both
the Leoni and Jackson Wide.Awakcs will he
found prepared in future to deal out ample JUS
tee to all drunken, slavery-loving rowdies."
They should not be blamed after all. Nobody
can expect their rabble to use better argument:
than their leaders.
