Letter from Johnson County.

GAINESVILLE, May 10, IoOU.
Mr.. DUNHAM-DEAR SIR:
We are just now being favored with a
glorious rain, which will make the hearts Of
our farmers rejoice with exceeding great
iov. Had it held off little longer the die
would have been cast, and johnson Coun-
ty would have been bankrupt. Last Sat
urday our town was filled with strangers on
their way to the Dover Convention. From
their number, one would suppose that all
the counties west, had, like ours, sent three
sets of Delegates. We have one set ap-
pointed by the regular county convention
held in this place, after due notice had been
given throughout the county. which was
acknowledged to be the largest ever held in
the county. Another, appointed by con-
vention in Horsehead township, at which,
out of 200 voters, about 40 were present,
and another set from Mulberry township,
appointed by convention of THAT i'm
mortal number-wonder if they didn't feel
wiser, while debating to the whole county,
anu SohCoOlihS SChClico ioi uiooi SaiiiEihS ;
the Democratic party, than were the seven
wise men of Greece. 1t is thought that
the regular delegates will be ruled out and
the bogus ones admitted. If so, and Hind
man is nominated-of which there is not
much doubt-the election will be time of
sore trial to the true democracy-lor they
will be in duty bound to support the nomi-
nee, while they have the most utter con-
tempt for him as a politician.
But enough of politics. Our Railroad
is now the absorbing topic. The visit of
the President of the road and others through
the county, worked miracles Of good. The
people see it now as they never saw it be-
fore. There is no excitement about it---but
the building of the road, at no distant day,
is looked upon as fixed fact, and all are
willing to help. Capt. r. ROGERS, the
most energetic and enterprising man in our
town, has put his shoulder to the wheel
and we can only view his cooperation, as
the precursor of success.
Our Female School is prospering finely
under the supervision of the Misses BU-
cHASAN, who by their intelligence and ami
ability have become descrvedly popular
Mr.. BENhAM, late of Dardenellc, has
taken charge of the male school, He has
considerable reputation as a teacher, and is
being patronized literally.
Truly yours, NED.

From Fort Smith Herald EItra
Baltimore Union Convention.
Bell Nominated.
BALTIMORE, MAY !


The National Union Convention was or
ganizcd at 10 O'Clock to-day, by unani-
mously elccting Hon. Washington Hunt OF
New York as chairman.
All the States are represented except Or.
egon and South Carolina.
The platform Committee unanimously
agreed to report in favor of the Union, the
Constitution and the enforcement of the
Laws. 1t is expected that the Convention
will be satisfied with this
BALTIMORE, May 10.
The convention met at 10 o'clock.
The Chair presented letter from Judge
Chambers, Of Maryland, expressing regret
at not being able to attend, and hoping a
wide and patriotic result would be attained
On calling the roll, delegates appeared
from Florida and Rhode Island, which
were not represented yesterday.
Mr. IngersoH reported from the commit
tee on business, the result of their delibera-
tions, which he said were characterized by
great unanimity and patriotism.
The report says, that whereas, expert
encc has taught that all platforms adopted
by political parties have the effect to mislead
and to cause political divisions that OF
encouraging geographical and sectional
parties, therefore,
hesoiued. The both patriotism and duty requir-
ed that they shshld both recognise no policy OF
principles, but those resting on the broad founda
ton OF the Constitution of the country, the Union
OF the States aad the enforcement of the laws
great appaus-,l and that as representatives of the
Constitutional and Union party of the country
they pledge themselves to maintain, protect and
defend these principles, thus affording security al
home and abroad, and securing the blessings Of
liberty to themselves and posterity.
Adopted by acclamation.
They reported another resolution that
each State should determine for itself the
mode of voting, whether by unit or other
wise.
This excited considerable discussion, and
minorities of delegations contcnding that
its adoption would place them at the mercy
OF the majorities, and thus stihe the ex-
preston of their individual preferences.
Mr. Warren, of Mass, said he came here
to express the sentiments of his constitu-
|ents.
The resolution reported from the commit
tee, was one of the bold party tricks to
place the minority under control of the ma
jority. If his State had instructed him for
a particular man he would obey the instruc-
ton; but none such had been given, and
he desired that the delegates should vote in
their individual capacity.
MIR. Pierce, of Maryland denied that the
committee had any intention of perpetrat-
ing party tricks. 1t was mere question
OF expediencr. He thought there was no
intention to smother the voice of the mi
nority. In his own delegation it has been
determined that every vote should be allow
[cd to in,.icatc its preference.
The Van Buren press., 1860-05-18
D,. 7 Dr,tt of Nd took the ground

Robert j. Brett, of Nd. took the ground
that although he was opposed to Sduattcr
Sovereignty. he must still as matter OF
policv sustain the position of non -lnterven
tion. Four wears ago the South demanded
this principle of non-intervention, ana why
do they come here and demand this surren-
der of principle. He cautioned them upon
the result of their extreme views lhey
could lead to nothing but the election OF
Black Republican President and Congress.
Mr.. Burrows, of Arkansas, followed IN a
speech on the Southern side of the question,
commencing at twenty minutes to eight
o'clock. He maintained that the South had
upheld the Democratic party from the be-
ginning of the Government to the present
day. that the South had been foremost IN
fighting the battles of the country, and that
in fact the Democratic party owes every
thing to the South The South has extern
ded the boundaries Of the country, and has
furnished the means at all times of paying
the debts Of the country. His remarks were
of the most violent and intlammable char
acter, and amid the impatience to come to
a vote, the noise and confusion, clapping
and stamping, he could scarcely be heard
beyond the rostrum. He continued despite
the noise to speak at the height of his voice.
He considered the Northern Democrats as
worse than the Black Republicans. lie did
not care whether the Black Republicans
whipped them, or they whipped the Black
Republicans. OF the two he considered
the Black Republicans the most open and
manly foes of the South. AS to Douglas,
he would not support him. even if he was
nominated. He considered him great an
enemy to the South as the traitor Seward
was.
Mr.. Claiborne, of Missouri, obtained the
floor, and said he had intended to address
the Convention tonight, but he had now
come to the conclusion that this debate was
causing wider breach instead Of produc-
ing harmony. If continued it will inevi-
tably result in the disruption of the Con-
vention he, therefore, called the previous
question.

DR.. Kanes Arctic Expedition

A Panorama Of DIR. Kane's Expedition
to the Arctic Regions, in search of Sir
John Franklin, has been on exhibition,
during the past week at Parallel Hall, and
we understand will continue through next
week. The exhibition is accompanied by
an explanatory lecture by w. II. PAUL,
Esq. and by very fine musical performan-
ces by the Van Buren, Brass Band. We
can assure our friends, that neither time nor
money will be thrown away by visiting
these excellent paintings. 1t has been well
patronized so far and we hope our citizens
will give substantial evidence of their ap-
probation of this really meritorious work
of art.

E The Morning Pennsylvania of tn

~ The Morning. Pennsyluaniam of the
Sth inst, informs US that an address has
been circulating about Washington city for
the purpose of draining signatures of mem
bers of Congress, the object of which ad-
dress is to solicit the seceeders from the
Charleston Convention to return to the Con-
vention at its adjourned session at Balti-
more. 1t says, further, "The number of
delegates passing through Washington on
the way to Baltimore, to attend the Consti-
tutional Union Convention is larger than
was anticipated. All the States will be
except from the Pacific coast.

~ We see, by the Memphis Daily
Appeal, of the 10th inst, that Col. n. B.
Burrow, of this STATE was intercepted on
his way home from the Charleston Conven-
tion, and prevailed upon to harangue the
people who sympathise with the movement
of Col. B. and the sececders. He made
quite lengthy address, and seemed to think
all the northern people were rank, red
mouthcd abolitionists. Spoke as if he had
just escaped from the clutches of fanati-
cal horde OF negro-stealers, etc. So thinks
the Appeal.
The course taken by Col. Burrow is in
defensiblc save upon the ground of strict
construction and adherence to the instruc-
tions of the State Convention. His error,
if any there be. consists, in part, upon the
acceptance Of the post upon the instruc-
tions which manacled his freedom OF
action, and chained him mercilcs1y to the
hideous monster of dissolution. The seces-
sion is false step, and being based upon
no definite principle or idea. will be abor-
tive. 1t will effect nothing beyond infam-
ing to greater frenzy the passions Of south
ern fre-eaters AMI northern negro-worship-
ers. The move has two handles, one for
the South one for the North it is entirely
sectional and will result in nothing Of good
to the country. We are sorry that Col.
Burrcw takes SO prominent position in
the extreme faction, We need able men to
connect the partially broken links of our
glorious chain OF States, and must deplore
the loss of SO much ability as Col. b. pos
