Democratic State Con yention.

The Democracy of the State of New
Jersey metin convention in Trenton, on
Wednesday, the 18th of May. The meet
ing was very large and enthusiastic, 1t
was difficult, says the Newark Journal, to
obtain an entrance to the hall, so densely
was it packed. After appointing dele.
gates to the Chicago Convention, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously adop-
ted:
l. Resolced, That We, the representa-
tives of the Democracy of the State of
New Jersey, in Convention assembled, do
declare our firm attachment to the princ.
pies of our Federal Constitution, and our
belief that it is ''the bond and only bond
of our Federal Union" aud that to its
support and its maintenance in all its ORR
giual purity as it was formed by our faith
ers, and to continue to resist to the last as
We have hitherto done, any encroachments
that aim to overthrow that Constitution
for the erection of centralized coercive
despotsm on its ruins, we pledge our
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor:
2. Resolved, That the Democratic par.
ty of the State of New Jersey hereby re.
iterates its faith in the doctrine that con-
stitution law is the only true basis of ex-
ecutive action in war, as we'll as in time
of peace.
3. Reso1ved, That as we have no State
candidates to present to the people, and
no issue involved in the coming election
other than those which affect the welfare
and liberties of our sister States equally
with ours, We leave it to our representa-.
tives in the Chicago Convention, to unite
with the representatives of the other SOW
ereignties of the Union, in cmbodying the
aentiment of the people in declaration
of principles acceptable to all the States,
on whom we rely to elect President and
bring back peace and union to this dis
tracted land.
4. ReSolved, That the FIRST necessary
step to restore the welfare and prosperity
of the American Republic, is, tLroug Oh the
ballot-box to overthrow tue present cor
rupt Federal Administration, and the sure
way to accomplish this eud is by tho
rough organization Of the time, honored
Democratic party and the prevalence of
union and harmony among its members.

He says: -a> +".,
l forward herewith the resolutions adopt
ed at the Massachusetts State Union Con.
vention, held at Beaufort on Tuesday last
The call for the Convention invited the
people of this State, without distinction
Of race or color,' to participate in the
election of delegates to the National Union
Convention to be held at Baltimore on the
7th Of next month The consequence
was that about one hundred and Fifty ne
groes and two.thirds as many whites as
sembled al the Sax,on House, and after
much noisy and acrimonious debate, Sc.
lected twelve whites and four Africans as
delegates, The choice should have fallen
the other way. BY far the largest por-
ton of the population in the "reclaimed'
region of the State are cvDtrabands; and
if they are to represent the State in the
Baltimore Convention they should have
justice done them at the start. consld-
er that they have not been fairly treated
in this matter.

A Draft Ordered for One Hundred Days
Mon

The proclamation by the Governor Of
Maryland, calling for volunteers for the
period of one hundred days, to be euploy-
ed within the State, having failed to pro-
cure the requisite nunlet, the Governor,
through Adjutant General Berry, has is
sued an order that draft will he ma 9 at
headquarters, No. 293 w. Baltimore
street, on the Oh of June, from citizens
between eighteen and iorty.fve years Of
age, to make up the residue due from the
city Of Baltimore. Up to that day voun-
teers will be, accepted and credited to their
respective PLACES of,residence, The draft
for the proportion due FROM the different
counties of the State will be made as soon
after the 9th of june as il is possible to
prepare for it. The enrolment of the mi.
itia made in 1862, by the officers, appoi,,-
ted by the Govern If, is t, ue used, and
the only cause for exemption allowed will
be actual physical disability for the ser,
vice required. A board, coup ,sed Of three
af officers Of tie nilli. VI the STATE, will
hear and determine applications for
exemption every day for Que week imme-
diately succeeding the day Of the draft at
the headquarters Of the adjutant general
Five days will be allowed before persons
drafted will be- required to report for duty
at Camp Bradford, either in person BY an
accepted ubsttute.-Sun. s,

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN The Ne,c
Era the Washington Fremont organ says:
owe have sufficient authority for saying
that an announcement will soon be made
of such means Of concentrating the Union
vote upon candidate for the Presidency,
and under. auspices 50 sure to command
public confidence, that all fears of drifting
into the certain defeat which awaits the
attempt to perpetuate the present weak
and unsuccessful Administration may be
be dismissed"
This, coming from Republican organ,
is somewhat astonishing. Ii u Democrat
ic sheet used such language it would be
called disloyal, and its author probably
consigned to some Government bastile.

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
OLD ScHooL.-On Tuesday Judge Mat.
thews, from the committee on bills and
overtures, presented report on the sub
ject Of slavery, which concludes as fol-
lows:
ain view, therefore, of its former testi !
monies upon the subject, the General
Assembly does hereby devou'ly express
its gratitude to Almighty God for the
great deliverance He has prepared for
our country from the evil and guilt of
slavery; its cordial appreciation for the
measures taken BY the national and State
authorities, for its extirpaton, as the
root of bitterness from which has sprung
rebellion, war and bloodshed, and the oug
list of horrors that follow in their trains !;
its earnest belief that the thorough reno
val of this prolific source of evil and harm
will be speedily followed BY the blessings
of our Heavenly Father, the return of
peace, union and fraternity, and abound
ing prosperity to the whole land +; and re-
commend to all in our communion to la
Dor honestly, earnestly aud unweariedly
in their respective spheres for this glori-
Gus contamination, TO which human jus.
tice, Christian love, national peace and
prosperity, every earthly aud every reli-
gious interest, combine to plel them"

National Democratic Convention.

The Democratic members of the Constitutions
al Convention now in session in Annapolis, held
a meeting last week for the purpose Of consulta-
ton in regard to the appointment of delegates
to the Chicago Convention. The meeting re-
solved that inasmuch as they have not been ap-
pointed to determine any questions in regard to
the National Convention, or the appointment of
delegates thereto, that it would be best to refer
the matter to State Convention, composed Of
delegates from each county and the city of Bal
timore; and recommend that said State Con-
yention meet in the city Of Baltimore, at eleven
o'clock, on Wednesday, the 18th of June, atsuch
place as shall be prepared by the City Delega-
ton
1t will be seen, therefore, that if Farford coun.
ty is to have delegates in this Convention, there
is but little time left for consultation, and prompt
action is necessary. We approve the recon-
incubation of the members of the Constitutional
Convention, and think their suggestion should
be adopted. 1t appears to US that by no other
means could we so readily get at the true senti-
ment of the Democracy of the State. We see by
our exchanges that other counties are moving in
the matter, aud We know of no good reason why
Hartford should lag behind her sister counties.
We have thrown out these suggestions, 10 call
the attention Of the party to the fact that State
Convention is to be held, and il they intend to
participate in its proceedings, the sooner they
take steps to that end the better.

FURNISHING SUBSTITUTES. From an
important order just issued by the provost
marshal general, it appears that any per-
son enrolled may furnish, at any time
previous to draft, an accepted substitute;
aud further that such persons may furnish
substitutes at any place other than where
they reside or are enrolled. This is i'm
portant in many respects. For instance,
person enrolled may be absent from his
district or place Of enrolment. 10 what
ever district or city he may happen to be
be may, if be chooses, hire his substitute,
take him before the provost marshal for
acceptance, who will duly notify the pro-
vost marshal Of the district where he
stands enrolled, which fully exemp,s him
the same as though he had not left his dis.
trict, or bad there furnished his substi-
tute.

S0dom.

1.-THE constant recurrence, the persever-
ing practice OF the seven capital sins with
in corporate limits can entitle city to the
distinctive mark of a capital, then there is
terrible cogency, morally as well as po-
litically speaking, in referring to that rank
the city of Washington. Look where we
may, and the eye can nowhere detect an
atmosphere more tangible in its corruption
than that which lowers above the seat of
government. Fraud aud shameless out
rage, political intrigue, moral debauchery,
aud heedlessness of the rights of God and
man--these have assumed no alien shapes,
but rather have become indigenous. Wash
ington is a modern Sodom its atmos-
phere rocks with all that is offensive to the
moral sense.
1t will be needless to rccite the constant
developments which have served as para
graphs in the history of this elaborate
wickedness The public has been COM
pulsorily famiiarized with them, and its
memory needs no refreshing through the
medium of our columns. We would only
point to the result of generalization foun-
ded upon these developments. London,
during the early years Of the Restoration,
was not more thoroughly corrupt than is
/ Washington 20 day.
Doubtless, the hour of purgation will
come, when the causes shall produce their
inevitable effects and then only may we
assume that the national capitalize true
Augean stables of the Republic--will be
cleansed. Until then, we can only look
upon it as the veritable plague spot of the
country, and one which, were its social in
significance less, might produce a wide
spread and most dangerous infection
throughout the land. AS it is, devoid of
any active influence in the parliament of
American cities, its impotent vices, while
none the less deplorable, will be confined
within its own limits. Were Washington to
America what Paris is to France-its ner-
vous centre-our nationally would be OBJ
noxious to that contemptuous ceusure from
Europe which the thief is supposed to be-
stow upon the murderer

is requisite for the incubation of the

pious friend, the Observer, will come in for
