TIE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
June 5th will be the Day and St.
Louis the Place OF Holding the Ma
tionai Democatic Convention.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The Ma
toni Democratic Committee met at
Wizards hall, in this city, at noon to-
day, for the purpose of selecting the
date and place for holding the next
Democratic convention to nominate
candidates for President and Vice
President. Ex-senator w. ii. Barnum,
of Connecticut, presided over the COM
mittee, and F. o. Prince, of Massa-
chusetts, acted as secretary.
The vacancy caused by the death of
Hubert o. Thompson, of New York,
was promptly filled by the election of
VIM. Steinway.
When organization had been COM
pleted the chairman stated that the
first business in order was the selection
of a date for holding the National
Democratic Convention.
Senator German offered resolu-
ton fixing July Sd next. This was
vigorously opposed by Congressman
Scott, of Pennsylvania, who was pres
ent as proxy for VIM. A. Wallace
He read long speech depicting the
advantages which he believed would
accrue to the Democratic party from
the convention being held as early as
May ODD. The campaign should be
vigorous and aggressive, by the selec-
ton of an early date and distinct
and early enunciation to the Ameri-
can people, of the principles which
were to be wrought into the Demo-
cratic platform.
Dawson, of South Carolina, followed
in the same vein.
Another proposition was made to
fix June Sd, as the date but this, as
we'll as the early date suggested by
Scott, was objected to by Senator Cor
man, who said that, in view of the
fact that there were some differences
of opinion in the Democratic party
upon the tariff question, it would be
impolitic to hold the convention before
the Democratic house OF representa-
tives had an opportunity to agree up
on tariff measure which would bring
together dissenting opinions and cause
a united support of the party. When
such bill has been agreed on, the
Democrats could fasten upon the Re-
publican senate the responsibility for
u failure to enact law revising the
existing tariff law and correcting its
evils.
! Senator Pasco, of Florida, briefly ex-
pressed himself as in favor of an early
date.
The committee finally, by vote of
% to 10, agreed that the convention
be held July Sd next.
A short RECESS was then taken.
Horatio c. King of Nevada spoke
in favor of holding the convention at
San Francisco, believing that the Dem
ocratic party would be greatly bene-
flied thereby. He referred to the hos
pitality of the people of that city, as
attested by their recent welcome of the
Grand Army, and regarded that as an
earnest of what might be expected il
the convention were given to San
Francisco.
All persons except the members of
the committee were excluded and bal
loting began. Following were the bal
lots:

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON ter.
OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. "a. 1855
But Little Changed.

1t is often said that luxury has
much increased in this country and
that the palmer habits of our forefath-
ers are giving way to extravaganza and
pride. This is true, but by no means
so much SO as many imagine. In the
first place, people nowadays are prone
to forget that our forefathers were
economical only because they were
poor, and that in those cities in which
they had accumulated fortunes they
were often ruinously lavish of their
means. This was the case even in col
onial times. In region only little
while recovered from savages, and
among people struggling for their
liberties, a degree of pomp and pride
was seen which even to-day would be
a wonder. We talk of the heroism of
our ancestors. Let us occasionally
remember their magnifcence. The
assemblies, the banquets, and the we'd
dings of those days were such as tray
elers from Europe, fresh from courts
and the entertainments of princes,
thought it well worth their while to
make of notes in their diaries, and de-
scribe in their letters. The mansions
OF the rich were often of great cost.
The materials were brought across the
sea, then o formidable barrier, while
the designs, and in some instances the
artists. too, were from Europe. The
remains Of several of these great
houses are yet 10 be seen in such gran
deur that our very millionaires may
envy them.
1t may be imagined that, though
our forefathers were indeed extrava-
giant, they were nevertheless less
aristocratic generation. No mistake
could be greater. Pride of birth ran
very high in those days. 1t has never
been so high even in the Southern
States, as in that period when We were
in the most desperate of wars and
bankrupt before all the world. Fam
lily pride seems too have been most ar
rogant in this country in the period
just before the Revolution, when we
were intimately connected in our gov
eminent with England. After the
separation it diminished until. within
the present generation, the means Of
foreign travel becoming easier, a ride
ulous fashion of aping the nobility OF
Europe has revived fine airs.
In short, tits great mistake to be-
lieve that we are sinking into luxury
of which our forefathers never dream.
ed. We are indeed fond of display
of wealth, but we are still a moderate
race. The Europeans far exceed us in
nearly every kind of entertainment
and sumptuousness of living. Only
in our largest cities do we see the few
who have filed their mansions with
Inverted servants and maintain even in
their family intercourse the formality
Of more public life. This last and
many other deplorable stages of lux.
ury and pride are, upon the whole
unknown to US.

not enable, strictly speaking. As Mr..

then seemed to be directed towards
spreading the belief that the Demo

unconditional surrender, for there is

which constitute the opposing power.
