am simply stating the truth when say that
after considerable association with the delegates
to the Convention and close observation OF It's
proceedings, am satisfied the Democrats are de-
pressed, out of spirits, and almost hopeless. III
local efforts they hope to get hold of enough lit
tic streams Of blood to keep their bodies warm,
but they see no possible chance for the Presiden-
cy, and are not sangulne of any success In the
State. One said in my hearing: " If only Grant
don't get their 1.-THE Republican, nomination,
think Sherman would take ours, and then"
Was there ever more improbable vision of hope?
If! Said another IF we are beat. this fall, VIC
are beat for twenty-five years." Very true, is it
not?
There is violent opposition to Pendleton, and
more feeling in favor of taking up some quiet old
gentleman unheard of or forgotten who has no
record and no enemics,-in other words to repeat
the Polk and Pierce tactics. Old Asa Packer, the
Lehigh Valley millionaire, is suggested as al
| available man of this kind. He would stand
about as much chance ofsuccess against Ulysses s
Grant, as old I'D Interim Thomas did of turning
out Edwin NJ Stanton.

Speftut n the Commercial.
HARRISBURG, March 4.
Tic Democratic State Convention, this year,
had these duties on hand; To nominate candi-
dates for Auditor General, and Surveyor General;
to make platform; to appoint an electoral tick
ct to appoint delegates to the National Conven-
ton; and, as was proposed by some, to endorse
Mr.. johnson. The first four have been perform
ed, the last not.
Three promnant aspirants wanted TO be Audi
tor Gcneral-Gen. Davis of Bucks Dr. Markley
of Montgomery; Chas. T.. Boyle Of Faycttc
Davis was candidate, three years ago, and was
beaten by the present incumbent, General John
L. llartranft, (Rep.) by over twenty-five thou
sand majority. Dir. Markley has no particular
State reputation except what he won as member
of the State Legislature for three years Boyle
has only the same prominence, but il is proper 10
say, he being the candidate nominated, that lie is
probably the strongest man Of the three. The
two nominees arc Charles r. Boyle, Of Faycttc
county, for Auditor General and Wellington II.
Ent, of Columbia county, for Surveyor General.
The Convention was SHINY attended, several
counties beng unrcprcsentrd entirely its tone
was depressed and not hopeful and the charac-
ter of It's proceedings was tame, flat, and devoid
| OF enthusiasm. The Chamber Of Representatives
was full of people, as usual, but not crowded to
its utmost as we have often seen it, when there
was n live spirit and real interest in its work
The delegates were all provided with seats, and
duly occupied them which serves to explain
| perhaps, the lack of enthusiasm Certainly no
Democratic Convention can be characteristic, If
it sits down. When there is real steam in it, it
will be on its feet, on the benches, on chairs, on
the highest attainablc pinnacle from which to
shout, below and gcsticulate. | re-aliirm 1.-THE
Democratic Convent IN that sits down is failure.
The Chairman of the State Committee, Wal
lace, of Clearfeld, called to order and made an
address intended to be warm and earnest but
which chilled in his mouth before he had fairly
commenced, aud fell upon his hearers like yes
terday's cold pudding. 1t lad the feeblcst APP
plausc, and inspired no warmth of response,
whatever Randall, of Schuylkill, Temporary
Chairman, absolutely read wratten speech, on
assuming the Chair, which would have been alb
surd in the permanent President, but was simply
ridiculous in the temporary officer. Read OFF
like schoolboy essay on "spring," or Farm
Ing it was even more tame than Walace's
| speech, and left the unfortunate delegates in n
still more subdued frame OF mind. Many of
them doubtless longcd, with Bill McMuIlin. for
an opportunity to ''lickcr," and revive their sad
spirits.
There was bitter quarrel over the contested
scat from Philadelphia claimed by Robert E. Ran
dali and Lou Cassiday. The latter got it. There
was also violent opposition to the resolution en-
dorsing johnson, and as you will sec, none of
that character was adopted. The poor recreant
is abandoned to his fate, now that he is no longer
seryceablc.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON.
TENTTON

XIV LO4f.
We are advised that the State Central
Committee will, at an early date, meet to
issue call for the assembling of State
Convention, to elect delegates to tho Ma
tional Convention at Chicago. In doing so,
it will be necessary to proceed in accordance
with the instructions of the Convention of
1866, and apportion the delegates on the
basis of population. This will materially
reyolutionize the relations heretofore borne
by the three counties to each other, but 1t
will have the effect, undoubtedly, OF greatly
stimulating the vitality of the Republican
organization in Delaware, and adding much
to its courage and moral force.
In order to carry out, consistently, the
principle of representation according tt
population, it will be necessary, also, to as
sign to the City of Wilmington its proper
tionate share of the delegates from New
Castle County, which will be, as the mum
bers of population now stand, about one
half of the whsle number.
Upon these two points we presume thcr,
will be no hesitation nor difference Of opin
ion. Their propriety is apparent, and tht
true Republicans of the State, standing by
principle, and rcsolutely adhering to tn,
strict rulcs Of justice, will not differ in S,
plain case. But we feel authorized to al,
that in no case will the members of iii
party, here, concodc any departure whateve
from either rule. II we cannot succce
honorably and legitimatcly we do not desir
SUCCESS

w ASitlNGToN, Marcn u.
This morning il is stated by leading DEM
ocrats that the President has fully decided
upon his plans, and that there will be no
h:sitancy in carrying them out. First, ON
next Friday his COUNSEL will appear in Court,
ready TO proceed with the trial, and not ask
for an extension of time. They will then
object to every Republican Senator, who
has expressed an opinion as to Mr.. JohnsOn's
guilt or innocence ON the articles of i'm
parchment, being allowed to act as juror
in the ease. This point they of course do
not expect to carry, but to have it over
ruled. Second. The question as to wheth-
or the Senators from twenty seven States
constitute the Senate of the United States,
will he raised. They will take the same
view of this matter that the President has in
all his public speeches and State papers
maintained, that until the ten Southern
States have their representatives in the
House and Senate of the United States, the
latter body is not competent to take up, try,
and pass Judgment on so vital and import
ant question as impeaclling the highest
officer known to the government. Failing
in both these questions the President will
then firmly refuse to proceed with his trial,
asserting that in such court justice cannot
be done him, and then in his majesty, rise
and tender his resignation, and appeal lii
rectly TO the people to sustain him, and to
pass judgment at the ballot-box against the
Senate OF the United States. This, in short,
is what the Democrats who are intimate
with the President assert to-day as the course
he will pursue. Their story meets with
some crcdence among the Republicans, and
it is regarded by them as shrewd attempt
on the part of the President to force himself
on the Democratic party as their next can
didatc. General Grant was informed of il
this morning by Radical Congressman,
and he expressed but little surprise at the
statement, but said that ii the President
could only be pursuaded by his counsel to
do the last act threatened, to tender his res
ignation, he, Grant, would think that the
President still possessed some little reason.

THE MARYLAND REPUBLICAN CONVENTION,
at Baltimore, on Friday, elected Ex-senator
Crcswell, Hon. John l.. Thomas, Col. L. +.
Anderson, and c. c. Fulton, delegates at
large to Chicago, with ten district delegates.
Electors were named, Judge Goldsborough,
OF Talbot, and John Il. Smith of Carol, be-
ing those at large
The radical delegation from Baltimore
were rejected, and as a consequence there
was bolt from the Convention, by the ey-
cluded delegation and several others who
met at another hall and made arrangements
for second State Convention.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
affirming the devotion of the Republicans of
Maryland to the principles of justice and
manhood suffrage; the approval of the Re-
construction policy Of Congress; and its un-
alterablc purpose to maintain inviolate the
public faith and national credit, and in
sisling upon thorough economy in the
administration Of the Government. Hear
tily endorsing General Grant as in accor-
dance with the great principles of the
Republican party, asserting the preference
Of Maryland Republicans for him as their
Presidential candidate, and instructing the
delegates toiChicago 10 employ all honorable
means TO secure his nomination, and that of
Mr.. Creswel as Vice President. The action
Of Congress in the impeachment of the Pres
i,lent is also endorsed, and confidence ex
pressed in the patriotism of Hon. b. +.
Wade, and the faithful execution by him of
the Constitution and the laws should Mr..
johnson be removed by the Senate.

CURRENT NOTES.

1t is written, "Despisc not prophcsying."
But we do when it is in the mouth of Maryland
editor like one who recently wrote from An
nopolis thusly 3
Having just returned from Washngton,I am
enabled to state upon good authority that the I'M
parchment of the President will not be sustained
and that the Tenure Office Bill will be declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
s'Gov. Thomas will be reelected to the Senate
and will ultimately be admitted to his seat
The folly of the first two predictions is apparent
enough, but the entire inaceuracy of the two in
the second paragraph proves the absurdity of the
whole thing to perfection.
Chicago packed over $1,000 hogs last sea-
son. Cincinnati put up not more than half the
number.
The Boston Post says that city Is the only
one Mr.. Dickens has formed any attachment for,
and he will spend oil his leisure time here. In
his Judgment we have the best society, the best
hotels the best suburbs, the best culture, and the
best appreciation of any city in America. His
audiences in other cities, as for instance New
York, have been more dcmonstrntive and bolster
Gus, but not SO accuratively appreciative. In a
word, Dickens swears by Boston, and at most
other cities. The difference is one of distinction.
Correspondents say that the last ball in the
Tuillerics was very!crowded. The Empress wore
a robe OF green Grape trimmed with evergreens.
Green is the color OF the house Napoleon Upon
her brow flashed bee of diamonds and rubies,
which is the emblem of the Bonaparte family.
The Princess Metternich, Austrian Ambassadress,
was cnveloped in perfect cloud of white cause
The Princess Korsakoif (Russian) wore drat

had ridiculous wings of white satin at the back
But still more ridiculous was the appearance Of
an English beauty, large, full, pink and white
who wore mdure Grape, covered with every speci

effected, it appears, in the most busness-lik
manner imag Unable the director of theatre as
certains in what shops pretty young women ar
to be found, and then he sends the women circu

Pleasant though not unexpected is the
news from New Hampshire. The Demo-
cratic party has not alone met with defeat
and route in that gallant old State, but the
same blow which has fallen with such dam
aging effect on the party Of obstruction, has
fallen with equal fierce on a large class in the
anks of our own party one which has
vainly, but yet with too great measure of
success, attempted to direct its policy.
We mean those who through cowardice
or from lukewarmness toward Republican
principles have all along stated that the
people would not sustain impeachment j;
that negro suffrage would ruin, the party i;
and who have in short opposed every adj
vanced movement Of the Republican party,
and attempted to make it mark of pecu-
liar intelligence to sneer at its leaders, to
laugh at what they called soriginal i'm
preachers" and to speak in the most lugrli-
brous terms Of the terrible straits into which
we have fallen, through the leadership Of
"seli-madc men, instead of Cambridge OF
Yale made ones.
These gentlemen have had their say, have
INDUCED in the cheap amusement of Sew.
ard-like prophecy, and now we hope they
will gracefully subside since the people in
New Hampshire, and in New Jersey too SC
lar as heard from, have very eifectualy
disposed of themselves and their prophetic,
and shown that the leaders whose rashncs.
these men have so much deplored, have Ger
tainly not gone beyond the wishes of thu
masses Of the party.
The lesson Of yesterday is, that bold, Wig
erous action is what the people demand, AM
is the only kind that will awaken their en-
thusiasm.

in favor of the Government and against Sc
