BALTIMORE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
On Tuesday, the Union Convention Of the third
district in Maryland, after several ballots, nom-
mated c. L. L. Leary, Esq, Of Baltimore, as
Union candidate for Congress in that district.
The gentlemen competing for the nomination
were the Hon. j. Morrison Harris, who has
represented the distric for the last four years,
and C. l.. L. Leary, A. W. Bradford, and John
B. Seidenstricker Esqs. Previous to the bal.
lotting, letters were read from these gentlemen
in response to questions proposed by the Con.
vention in relation to their position on the great
national issues. The Convention, by resolu.
ton, placed its candidate upon the platform of
unconditional CnioniSm, and the support of
the Government in the enforcement Of the
laws"
The letters Of all the candidates were fully
up to the true standard Of sustaining the Gov.
ernment, as all Governments are sustained, by
force, except that of Mr.. Harris. While in ia.
vor of maintaining possession of this capital,
Mr.. II. opposes an attempt to retain the seeded
States by arms or, in other words, he is in
favor of acquiescing in disunion. This is a
very extraordinary ground TO be taken by a
citizen of Maryland. 1t being admitted on all
hands that that State ia to remain n the Union
il would be absolute ruin to Baltimore to per
NIT the secession of the South.

The Mattcras Expedition.

The bombardment was commenced
at distance OF about two and a half
miles by the Minnesota, on Wednes-
day at II A. NJ, and she was soon
joined by the entire fleet.
The fire was incessant, the forts re-
sponded but seldom, and it soon be.

they were by their works.

1t was more than an hour before the
first boat reached the beach. BY this
time the wind had come up so that
the surf ran high, and though the
greatest efforts were made, only about
300 of the forces were landed.
Every boat was either broken up
or beached, and Notwithstanding near.
ly one thousand men had been placed
on schooners, it was considered too
dangerous to attempt to land them,
and they were returned to the trans
ports. Those who reached the shore

Meanwhile the bombardment went
ON without cessation. The scene was
extremely grand. The shells from
the feet rained on the forts and ex-
pIoded with splendid effect. The
forts replied but seldom.
When this had continued about
three hours, the flag OF Fort Clark
came down, and the rebels retreated
to Fort Ilatteras, a large work be-
low.
Soon after, our forces on shore occu-
pied the abandoned fort, and waved
the Stars and Stripes from the ram
parts. Unfortunately mistaking the
flag, and not aware that our men had
landed, some Of ships sent several
shells in among them, but without in

says

that no popular government can lony

New. York Democratic State COnven-
ton,

The following are among the reso.
lptiOns adopted by the Few York De.
mocratic State Convention:
Re8OJyed, That the Democracy Of
this State will sustain no war nor
countenance any peace tending to the
sepal alton Of these States and that
they will regard any attempt to pre-
vent this conflict into the emancipa-
tion of the slaves as fatal to all the
hopes Of the restoration of the Union.
ResOIUed, That it is the duty OF the
Administration, initiating the patriot
ic spirit Of the people, to abandon the
narrow platform of the Chicago Con
Yeution, which stands condemned by
the sufrages Of nearly two.thirds OF
the people, and step forth upon the
broad platform of the Constitution; to
expel corrupt men from office, to ex-
ciude from its councils the advocares
Of separation Or abolition, and to re.
construct its Cabinet so as to conform
to the altered condition Of the country
End to command more largely the pub.
lie respect and confidence.
Resol0ed, That while we admit the
necessity Of summary process of mar.
tial law among insurgent populations
and within the lines of military op-
erations, we protest against the as
sumption that any power except the
representatives Of the people, can suS.
pend the privilege Of the writ of ha-
beas corpus, for civil offences; we pro-
test against the assumption oil the Ex.
ecutive power to establish system o.
passports; against the rights of the
Federal Government to organize sys
tens Of State Police; against the as
sumption of Federal Executives to re
: press the discussions of a free press
! by the refusal OF mail facilities, il

civil tribunals, and that finally w

We repeatedly asked those who dis
sent from our view of this matter t
tell us frankly whether they do, or dt
not, assent to Mr.. JefferSon's state
ment in the Declaration of Independ

institute q new government, &C., &c
We. do heartily aceept1this doctrine,
believing it intrinsically sound, bene-
ficent, and one that universally accep
ted, is calculated topreveut the shed
ding OF seas Of human blood. And
if it justified the secession from the
British Empire Of three millions oi
colvnists in 1776, we do net see why
it would not justify the secession o.
five millions Of Southerners from the
Federal Union in 1861. If We are
mistaken on this point, why does moi

Capt, Rsamy's Speech.


The Journal having omitted The publication
of the remarks of Capt. REAMY, at what was
called the typographical banquet on Friday
evening, . brlef synopsis Of the same has been
furnished us FOR publication We will insert it
on Monday.
The concern termed the typographical union
Of this city, is hrmbug; and, although, fe"
good printers and respectable men are members
Of it, the ruling spirits are set of unworthy
men, unfit to associate with worthy members OF
the craft, and are the more .ools Of the Repub-
lican Abolition politicians of this city. Tho
banquet was got up, no doubt, 10 subseIye the
iptegests and promote the objects Of the Repuo
liean party, just sc the Union was used By these
uuprincipled politicians in the lac. campaign,
II this county.
In the progress OF the evening tie c!oysu ioc'
WAS made manifest, iD the speeches Of GARFiELD
CARRiSeFoH, and others, to such degree, that
= Capt. REAmY fol. compelled 20 reply to their
partisan remarks. Hence his speech does nc!
appear in the Journal!
Our only wonder ia that after the seandaIoui
coaduct OF this Union last fall, and its subserSi
ancy to the Republican managers in the cam
paign, that any Democrat, conyersant with thu
facts, attended the banquet.

uaLon Meeting e. s.eubsnvllls

q A Union meeting irrespective of party, was
held at SteubsDville on Tuesday last. Col.
JAWS CoLLIRR oficiated as Chairman, and DE-.
WoArEIseroK, JOHN SHERIDAN and DAVID Doa-
ovAN a. Secretaries. The committee chosen for
that purpose reported series of patriotic Eeso
lutions, discSrding, az citizens Of Ohio, ell par
ty feelings and passions, declaring an unchang-
ing attachment to the perpetual union Of these
States, Arm reliance upon the Constitution Of
our country as the bond Of union, aud the faith
ful enforcement OF the laws, without which the
one canno. be maintained or the other presery-
cd.
The resolutions in spirit Of compromise and
conscession, approve and recommend tho
propositions known as the Border State Com.
promise, and request our Senators and Repre-
-sentaGiyesin in Congress to favor their immediate
adoption. They also express cordial approval
of President BUoHANAS's late special message,
aud a warm commentator Of the patriotic oon-
duet Of Major ANDERSON, in removing to Fort
Sumter.
On motion of GEo. w. MoCooK, the report
of the Committee was received, and after O
brief end harmonious discussion, the resolutions
were adopted With great enthusiasm by an over
whelming majority. Three cheers were given
for EDWIN NJ. STANTON, Maj. ANDERSON, and
the Union, and the meeting adjourned.

pA gentleman in Washington writing to a
friend in this city. in speaking of the present
condition of our national affairs, says:
I hone the Southern States will all go out OF
the Union, in time to save the country from
civil war.
The Republicans ore very desirous OF bringing
about A conflict between the North and South,
With the expectation of involving the slaves in
the contest; there s no doubt OF this being their
intention, and the earnest hope Of that party in
Congress. OF this an certain, whatever may
be the opinion of their constituents, and this
fact is known to every one here. The northern
people must speak out for themselves now, 1t
they have any other desire in the matter than
civil war. They said before the election that
accession was all talk and buncombe, and that
there was no fear of commercial crisis They
even now sneer at secession, ana the prospect OF
war. They would like nothingIbstter than to see
the whole country involved in bloody revolt
ton, adding to It's horrors, by melting thssIsVes
to cutting their masters tnroats
The Southern States will all secede, and the
North will be obliged to settle the difficulty With
their Abolitionists among themselves. People
in Washington are sending their families out OF
town in expectation of SOME fighting here on
the 4,h Of March, but am in hopes the South
will take bold stand before that time, and
show the North the folly OF fighting them into
an acknowledgement Of Abolition sentiments
and also willingness to give up four mil'ionf
of slaves 10 crafty the whim Of Northern fans-
tics, who are concerning themselves in matter
with which they have no business or interest.
The result of all this will probably be q Tevi-
sion of the Constitution and perhaps change
