Tbe National Democratic Convention.

The question which now absorbs the pub
lie mind, and on which, according to the
Charleston papers, the Union hangs, is
whether. the Democratic Convention shall
be changed to Baltimore. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald
says; -,-.-...--.- -
"Judge Smaley Chairman of the DEM
ocratic National Committee, is in New York.
He writes here expressing a doubt as to what
his duty is in assuming the responsibility of
changing the place of meeting of the Con-
yention from Charleston. All the members
of the Committee now here, some five or six,
are in favor of a change to Baltimore, and
think public sentiment will sustain them,
Notwithstanding Charlestoh WAS fixed upon
by the Con<ention., 4 learn that the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company will ar
range fares nt half price, from Chicago, st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Louisville and
other points if the Convention is held in Bal
timore. The immense hall for the Conven-
ton, and halls for each delegation, will be
furnished free. The hotels will accommodate
all they can at the usual price, and the pri-
vate citizens seem disposed to render all the
accommodation in their power. The amount
! of money saved in railroad fare alone, if fifty
thousand people attend, will halfa million
| of dollars" ..ri -r'W
In connection with this subject it should
be mentioned that hundred and fifty beef
cattle have arrived at Charleston within q few
days, and have somewhat relieved the imm-
nent dangerof famine; although due allow
4 ance should be made for the probability Of its
being Charleston cdndrd, intended to pre-
vent the convention and the mighty host OF
outsiders from being frightened away by fear

NARRATIVE OF THE EARL OF Ell

RENEE 0LIpHANT, ESQ., Private. Secretary
to Lord Elgin. New York: Harper &
Brothers. Cincinnati; RickeY Mallory &

L 20. a. 81 r. H WY NY
In the year 1857 the British Government
appointed Lord Elgin Special Commissioner
to proceed to China, with view to place the
relations of Great Britain upon an amicable
footing with that country, and fitted out
naval expedition for the purpose of convey
ing him to and from the scene of his labors
with becoming dignity. The field of his
operations embraced both China and Japan,
and the time occupied was over two years.
The narrative before us purports to be q his
tory of the doings of the Commission, and
sketch of what the author saw in the course
of his perigrinations. a .r r .---r
The picture which the writer draws of the
two remarkable countries visited by him,
their peoples, governments, laws, customs,
and religion, is lively and interesting, with
great appearance of correctness. He appears
to have looked at them with more liberal
spirit than travellers usually exhibit. Of
Japan, especially, his remarks show better
appreciation of the style Of civilization there
to be found than those of any writer we re-
member to have read. His opportunities
were ample, and he appears to have properly
improved them. The book, upon the whole,
which is a handsome octave of over six hum
dred pages is a valuable addition to litera-
ture. -IH I.-...
