THs ADJOURNED BALTIMORE CONVENTION
After due consultation, address to the seeding
Charleston Convention from the Democracy Of
Congress has been prepared, and is to-day being
very generally signed by them preparatory to its
publication. 1t is understood to set forth the
urgent necessity Of their return to the Convention
when that reassembles on the 18th of June proximo
at Baltimore. 1t is further understood to embrace
proof sufficient TO satisfy the most skepcal of the
seceders that, on Resembling :. the Convention
VIII adopt as the platform of the Democratic party
the report Of the platform committee Endorsed by
the delegations Of the seventeen Democratic States
and that harmonious nomination can and will
doubles be made upon that platform
FROM all we have been able to learn in the prem
lseswe are satisfied that twill be signed by every
democratic member Of both Houses of Congress
not well known here either as disciple of slavery
| restriction under the plea of squatter soveregntv,
or as having been more or less disappointed in not
| being made Democratic nominee for the Wire
Presidency, by and through the favor of the
misrepresentation interest in that body-sucb ex

Congress than the outside world dreams Of
| THE UNIoN-PARTY CONVENTION, TO assemble al
Baltimore on Wednesday next, bids fair to be

pated before the Charleston Convention came To n
| conclusion so lame and impotent This is the
result Of belief growing out of that conclusion,
In the main, that the action of the Union-party
Convention is destined to exert powerful influence
In determining the next presidential contest.
mus the Autobiography members of Congress
| have suddenly come to believe that there will be
| two Democratic presidential tickets run through
out the South, if not at the North; securing to
"a pVpF how
| toral votes Of DelaYare, Maryland Tennessee, and
Kentucky, If not of Georgia and North Carolina.
They are, however, reckoning wildly as the
result will prove for il is utterly possible that
| tie Democracy of the South will divide where the
simple question is the protection of the cons.itu-
tonal rights of the South. Though the restriction
of slavery faction may be able to get cpouob men
TO demand admittancc into the June Baltimore
Convention, as southern representatives TO MI M
the number Of seats vacated by the seceders at
Charleston, they will hardly find enough more of
their kidney in the slavehOlding States to play tho
part OF electoral assistant and suheIcctora cand

tue south they but occupy the same relative
| numerical position which the Republican party
oil Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Ken
lucky occupy to the opposition party of those
States six horse omnibus being sufficient to
contain the whole Republican party in either
such State, Notwithstanding the persistent beating
OF their newspaper gongs over bogus accounts Of
their meetings, conventions, &c, &c.
But it happens to be already evident that the
delegates that seeded at Charleston will every
| man OF them, reenter the Convention We
have to find the first gentleman in national
public life symPathizing with them who fails TO
counsel that course their part 1t is not pUssi-
bic that so remarkable unanimty in the matter
can exist on the part of the Senators and Repre-
ssntatives In Congress of the South without pro-
duclng the result mentioned above They 1.-THE
seeding delegates) have but to present them
selves at Baltimore to blow sky-high the cum
ningly concocted scheme TO assemble there bogus
delegations TO usurp their places
