SENATOR BAYARD AND THE CHARLESTON CONvEN- |
TToN.-At the meeting of the Democracy at New
Castle, Delaware, on Saturday night, for the pur-
pose of considering the action of the delegates of
that State in the Charleston Convention, Senator
Bayard was called out, and, during bis remarks,
said:
was sent to Charleston to represent the Democ-
racy of this county in National Convention of
thrty-three States, but when seven of those States
had left that body it was no longer National
Convention, and l did not deem that | had the
right-that had the authority to remain in and
by my action bind you to the action of broken
Convention. This is the view that took and the
action that took. Are you rendered any
oiby it ? Are you in any way injured by it? |
simply believed that | had not the authority to
bind YOU to endorse the action of that Convention
which was no longer a National Convention, but
left you free to endorse repudiate its subsequent
action as you might deem proper. From the man
ner In which that Convention was organized, the
vote of this State would not weigh in any manner
but if the other retiring States had stayed should
have stayed alsOand supported the action that of
a national body. After the retiring States had
lett the Convention, the remaining Southern
delegates said, "noW you must nominate by a
vote of twothirds of the whole Convention, or
we will 60 out ALSO This was DONE and the con-
sequence was that they were left unable to make a
nomination, but 1897 votes could be brought
forward for any one man, and it required 202 to
nominate. They could do nothing and had to ad-
lourn. They can do nothing now. Nor will they
be able to do anything when they re assemble in
Baltimore, unless the States that retired shall
turn either by their former delegates by the
election of new ones. For even if they should
make a nomination, he will no longer be the can
didate of the whole National Convention. These
were my reasons and my whole reasons for retiring
from that Convention, and they are the reasons Of
many others.
SOUTHERN Conference.-The Charleston Nercu-
ry, in its number of the 25th instant corrects two
errors which it says prevail in some portions of
South Carolina-and one of which is prevalent in
some other States-n regard to the contemplated
Richmond Convention The Mercury says:
frSt-lt is supposed that the seeding delegates
| from the Charleston Convention adjourued their
meeting over to Richmond They will, therefore,
appear in the Richmond Convention which will
only be their meeting adjourned. This is a mis-
take. The seeding delegates adjourned their
meeting sine die They will meet no more as seced-
ing delegates. If any of them appear at Richmond
it will be by new appointment from the people to
go to the Richmond Convention. The Richmond
Convention is an original Convention, called by the
proposal of the seeding delegates from the Charles.
ton Convention, and it will consist only of those
who agree to the majority report made by the Com
mittee on Resolutions in the Charleston Convention.
Second-lt is supposed that the Convention to meet
in Columbia on the Both of May is only a continual
ton of the Convention which assembled there and
appointed delegates preparatory to the Charleston
Convention, and that therefore all that was done at
the former Convention will be obligatory on the
Convention to assemble on the 30th of May. This
is mistake. The Convention of the 30th of Nav
is called by the seeding delegates, and its prnci-
Piles those of the majority report to the Charles
ton Convention. 1t is original Convention to
send delegates to Richmond and will in no way be
complicated with the proceedings of the Conven-
ton that previously assembled at Columbia and
sent delegates to Charleston.
From the Ne'o Fork Express, Nay Isl
PERvERTIEG Observation-Disclosures wrote the reso-
buttons for the Republican ratification meeting at
Philadelphia, Saturday night, must be a wag-for he
certainly must have been joking, and not in earnest
when he wrote-"We exultingly refer to the
fraternity, the enthusiasm and the nationality of
the Chicago Convention, embracing delegations
from States of every section of the Confederation.
Now is it not notorious fact, that the only ''na-
tiOnaP' thing about the Convention, got into the
platform by accident, and was sooner discovered
there by Judge Jessup, of Pennsylvania, than, on
his motion (see the record), 1t struch ont? The
reference to delegations from States of every
section of the Contederacy" is simply imposition
upon ones intelligence and common sense There
no bona ide representation in that Convention
from at least fourteen States of the Union. AS to
the fraternity" we let that pass. The triangular
fight now going on between Hon. Horace Greeley,
Hon. Henry J. Raymond and General James Wat
son Webb, of the regular army, shows what that
'Etraternity' was! But what does the ''masheen,'
or the people who run with the "masheen, care
for facts history! The resolutions adopted
unanimously, of course, with Tremendous ap-
pause, just as usual.
Mr.. FmLMoRE's PosIrIoN.-The papers have cir |
culated a report that Mr.. Fillmore had gone over
to the Republicans, giving the reason that the
Buffalo Commercial, his home organ, had come out
in favor of that party. The Commercial notices the
report as follows:-''It is due to Mr. Fillmore and
to his friends in Maryland especially, to repeat |
what we have heretofore stated, but which does not
seem to have been fully understood. Mr.. Fillmore
has no home organ He needs none, being en-
tirely withdrawn from the field of party conflict
He neither exercises, nor seeks to exercise, any |
control over the political conduct of this paper
And he has not been consulted by it with reference
to the Chicago nominations. We only know that
the absurd rumOr, recently circulated, that he |
would take the stump for the Chicago nomination |
was entirely without foundation. We should have
felt called upon to contradict it, had supposed
that any person could be weak enough to give it l.
any credit. 1t Sufficiently contradicted by |
Mr.. Filmore's letter to Mr.. Ormsby, of Boston, |
published simultaneously with the rumor referred |
to-"
THE BALTIMORE CoNvENTIoN.-The WASHINGTON
correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer under
date of the 2Sth inst, SAYS:
One of the intimate friends of Douglas-a member
of the House-states that he has given up all hopes
OF being nominated at Baltimore, but is conceded
here that he will be nominated at Baltimore
and Davis. at Richmond, and in this position the
democratic party will appear before the country.

THE LATE BARON BRUCK.

To the Editor Of the Ne0 York Tfmes-Sir |

indebted to him for much kindness, and feeling en-
tirely confident of his innocence ofanycompcisy in
or guilty knowledge of the Eynatien-Rivoltella or
other frauds am DESTROYS that any matter which
tends to confirm this view should be fairly placed

who as Minister, only responsible to the En-

Court. Respectfully yours, J. W. BARROW.
The following is the paragraph referred to:
VIENNA, Thursday May 10.
In temporarily Relieving the late Baron ron Bruck

Gen. Eynatien never entered the mind of His Ma.
