From Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, MD., June 24, lst

BALTIMORE, MD., June "A, lSoU.
 Yesterday was glorious one. not only for the South, but for the whole country. The regular democracy held convention in the Maryland h. stitute hall, in which twenty-one States were re- n,e.ented. South Carolina did not take part. The convention was most harmonious one. Without a dissenting voice the platform called the majority platform was adopted, and on this platform by unanimous voice the names of ). c. Breckinridge and Gen. Joseph Lane were placed as the respective candidates for President and Vice President.- Massachusetts, Vermont, Pennsylvania and New York were represented and by the ablest of their dalee.tes. The convention was only in actual session from ' to 1l11a o'clock, r.n In the other convention from the time that the Hon. Caleb Gushing resigned his position of president and with th. ae,eo.t;ons from the different northern States retired from the squatter sovereignty convention, until its close, all was confusion. (Mr. Cushing was appointed by unanimous acclamation the pre- sident of the National Conuention.) Dr. J! |: Stir man. of Arkansas, also withdrew from the bogus convention and sjoined the National Denoc.auc .: Convention. Baltimore is at this present. ume almost deserted--and one would hardly tnnk tnat it had witnessed such stirring scenes during sne past week. MT. Douglas only received aoous one hundred and seventy two votes, thirty votes iess than two-thirds of the whole electoral vote; ana vet thsy claim thst hc is fairly nominated.

 Fon RIcHMoND-In the late South Car olina State convention, there was no little diversity of sentiment in the selection of delegates. The ultra fre-eating and dis union element was led by R. Barnwell Rhett, and on test vote MT. Rhett's party proved strongest by some seventeen votes. Where upon the conservative portion refused to al- low their names presented as delegates.- Some withdrew from the convention alto- gether. The entire list of delegates is after the Rhett school. Mir. Rhett, in recent letter stated that the Richmond convention was sectional convention-with sectional principles. Mir. Rhett clearly makes the issue-Richmond, sectionalism and dis union,-Baltimore. nationality and Union. It is for the people to say which they will choose

 Sir: Will some gentleman of the legal pro- fession, or any one who is informed upon the sub ject, inform the public, through the True Democrat what the law is relative to the surveying of lands as follows: Suppose Mir. A. owns land in section 30, township north, range Il west, he owns the west half of southwest fractional quarter of said section, and Mir. B. owns the east of section; MT. B.'s papers certificate calls for 50 acres, and MT As for Sl acres; and l, as legal surveyor, am called to survey said lands, and measure from cer- ti6cate, and have & certified copy of field d-notes, which gives Mir. A. 20 32 100 ch. across the south end of his land, and % 23-l00 ch. across north end. Now, upon measuring Mir. B.'s land (the 50 acres), from quarter section corner on south boun- diary of section, find it to pass MT. As corner g links. What am to do7 The fractional quar- ter proves to have but l60 acres; must give Mir. B. his full 50 acres, and cut Mir A. out of his lit- tie fraction, or even less than 80 acres; or must divide the loss between them?
 Again: Suppose that MT. A. owns southwest quarter of southwest quarter; Mir. B. owns south east quarter of south west quarter; and MT. C. owns southeast quarter of section 9. township north, range II west and l measure of Mir. C.'s quarter and the measurement does not reach the quarter section corner from the fact that the tree is too far west, say one chain: thus giving A. and B. but 39 chains to divide between. How must dol must go to quarter section corner with Mr. C.'s land, say one, and it appears so from custom; but is it law7

Santonine L1Ozenges.

0dlIO1l1l10 f1LOZClASOos WYE offer these Lozenges without dis w guise as to their composition. As their name imports. they depend for their efficacy upon Santopine alone-the lately discovered active prin- cple of the European or Levant Worm Seei. All the merit which we claim for our medicine is the purity of the Santonine which it contains and the careful manner in which it has been incor porated with and distributed through the mass from which the Lozenges have been formed.
 To be sure of these important points, we have them prepared at the Louisville Chemical Works where the Santonine is first tested for it's purity and then combined in the Lozenge in such way as to retain it's properties and virtues unchanged. To the Profession we present valuable and well known medicine in convenient and attractive form, of uniform and known strength-the direc- tons indicating the dose of Santonine according to the U. S.P
 To the public we offer remedy for Worms eff cacious, safe, and as pleasant confectionery at a moderate price.
