To 60 back-the resolutions were written and
reported by Henry J. Raymond. This mans
talent Is Of national fame. His work was done
in the highest style Of art, and portions OF II re-
eeived a tribute Of admiration which mere art
never commands. The resolution demanding the
extirpation of Slavery of this continent, caught
the Convention as it were around the waist, and
flung it into a sea of enthusiasm. The eulogy up
on Mr.. Lincoln s Administration fell heavily on
hackneyed ears-but the resolution Of honor and
respect and love to the soldiers who fight, and
who bear wounds and lie in honored graves,
brought the Convention to its feet and drowned
the orators voice, and suspended the proceed
Ings. And so was received with heart and voice,
and courage and determination, the resolution
re-afhrming the Monroe doctrine. The Conven-
ton took this with howl of JOY, and LAID it as
sacred deposit on its soul
So writes 5. Wilkeson, the Tri5une's spe-
cial correspondent at the Baltimore Conven-
ton. The Tribune people are not especial
friends of Mr.. Raymond, and are not likely
to praise him without substantial grounds.
The most responsible duty of the preparation
Of the resolutions, was not the only impor-
tant service rendered by Mr.. Raymond in the
Convention. Twice, with a speech of half
dozen sentences, he brought order out of con-
fusion, and though there were such orators
there as Geo. Wm. Curtis, Horace L. May
nard, Lyman Tremain, and others of national
fame, who from time to time had the floor,
no one spoke with equal effect, or left, on the
whole, more favorable impression on the
Convention, than Mr.. Raymond. lie gained
his first national fame in the Wing Conven-
ton at Baltimore in 1852, and has added to
1t by his part in the Union Convention of
1864. We are glad to see that Mr.. Raymond
succeeds Gov. Morgan as Chairman of the
National Committee. In the words of the
Springfield Republican q" he is politician of
the practical sort. and the right man for the
place.

were given by those who were elected as
democrats. The nays are identical with the
ayes on the question for rejecting the reso-
luton for amending the Constitution 50 as to
forbid the existence of slavery in the United
States or within its jurisdiction, save that
there were about dozen more votes given
in the present instance,-probably because
those who gave them were present on the
18th and were not present on the 3lst OF
May.
In his speech of Feb. 81, Henry Winter
Davis said "If we lose the majority in the
next Congress slavery is as powerful as it
ever was" Allow the dominant aristoc-
racy to repossess the State power in its
original plenitude, and how long will

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
BALTIMORE, June s, 1864.

BALTIMORE, June s, 1864.
Dear Free Press:
The National Union Convention Of "a is
now thing of the past. What it has done,
you know. Eotr it was done-that is with
what surroundings and circumstances and dis
cussiOns, must try though hastily and very
imperfectly, to describe to you.
1t began, in fact. on Monday. The delega-
tons of several States were on hand even before
that, and had opened their headquarters, for
the most part at the Eutaw House or at Bar
NUNS. By the Monday morning trains the
delegates and outsiders begun to pour in. Trav-
Cling bags in hand and with anxious faces they
crowded up to the hotel counters, those who had
quarters secured in advance to find that they
were " all right" and those who had taken no
such precaution TO learn with disappointment
and depression of jaw, that the rooms were
all TAKEN" but they could have their meals
in the house and would be accommodated
with lodgings outside-said accommodations in
most instances proving to be a cot bed of a
dozen in six story attic room in some back
street.
Of course the caucussing was pretty active
on Monday. Who was the best man for the
second place on the ticket,-there was never
lisp of doubt or hesitation as to the man for the
first place;-what should be done with the con-
testing Missouri delegations; who the best selec-
ton for permanent Chairman Of the Convention;
were the principal topics of discussion. The
Vice Presidency was allowed to be doubtful
matter. On the second point it was clear thus
carly that the Missouri radicals would be recog-
nized as the true representatives of the loyal
population of Missouri. The third point was
also practically settled by hOpdsy night There
