what the Democratic Convention did:-"The

didn't try to keep order, and succeeded

What is to De done By the Democratic Es-
tionsl Convention, when u re-essembles a,
Baltimore on the 18th OF Junef This Is
question which Is Ia eTerybo6y's mouth; but
we have seen no one rs vet who could give :
satisfactory answer Unless all the delegates
go there in a spirit of coDeiliation and ocTr-
promise, and resolve 10 commence their worI1
de noEo we are very mach afraid the Con
yention will 6nd itself in the Same predjea-
ment j. was In when the ADJOURNMENT took
place sr Charleston. The best thing, We
think, the CoGvsntiou could Go, under tie
circumstances. Eonla be to knock all plat
forms 10 the head, acknowledge The Cons.i-
tuition of the United States as supreme au-
thority, then nominate some sound conserva-
tive Democrat, not identified with extremists
from either section Of the Union. and. after
having done so, adjourn SINE die, and the
people viii take care of the rest
These quadrennial platforms have been
constant source of injury to the Democratic
party and never once a benefit that we could
perceive. Before platforms were thought ot
the Democratic party was always nnited, md
triumphantly elected Jefferson, and Madison,
and Monroe, aad Jackson, and Van Burcn.
20 Presidential Office Then commenced the
platform bussiness. aud we were defeated II
1910. again in 1S4S, and may lose a third
election in 1860, from the same cause, unless
the ensuing Baltimore Convention Is more
than usually careful. The discussions about
slavery are becoming Tefsctly nauseatieg-
The question is worn threadbare, and has los.
all interest with the people. The masses care
nothing about platform; they want caHdi-
9ate of good genuine Democratic stock, who,
when he is elected, viii administer the Gov
ernmeut as it was administered by Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew jackson. Let the
Convention give for our standard bearer such
a man, aud We desire nothing more. He
can be triumpkantly elected without standing
on any platform ether than the Constitution
and the laws of the country; but fetter him
with platform Objectionable to any portion
OF the party, and the chances ere that the
Government will fall iuto the hands of the
Black Republicans at the close of the pres
ent Administration.

The fact that upwards of twenty
