who possesses tho common hensa oV tho
onorgy to think ono moment upon tho

South of every foot of territory that we
poisess, and dvory vestige of right 'jo
that class of property. Tho northern
States and cities possess the population
and anti-slavery emigration, that tho
abolitipniflfcand emigration aid society
will flood the territories of the. United
Slates ^wlth, which will eternally glvo
thorn the prepohdoranco. And on the
othor hand the Southern people are
afraid to risk their negro proporty in
tho territories, because, according to Hid
doctrine of Mr, Dougins, by “unfriendly
legislation," the Territorial Legislature
can sot the Sduthern man’s negro froe.
And yet this same Douglas, this iden
tical Stophcn .Arnold, has , the hardi
hood and the unblushing effrontery to
ask tlio Southern people to vote
for hira for. President of the' United
States. .

is tlio more remarkable, tho youngest
in tho groat family of nations. Japan

theso. Nipon is tho largest, and contains
tlio Capital of tho Empire, Jcddo.-v
Tli'eso are surrounded by a vast numbor
of islands—most of which littlo or
nothing is known of— estimated by
some at 7,000, and again, by others, at
6,000, Tlie dimehsions of tho Empire
uro about 171,000 squaro miles—a little
larger than the six Now England
States, and Now York, Pennsylvania

of tho Convention at tho .time of ad-
journment, consequently ho delegates
*rom tlio socedmg States, wore present.
Ho hopeil, howovor, that harmony and’
conciliation would prevail.
Thd; morning session was prinolpnily
ocoupiqd in .doaultory discussion on
unimportant points of order, and the
dutiosof tbo . Comraitfoo on Crudon-
tialf.
: Mr. Church, of Npw York, offered
tho following resolution:—That nil
cluims- for scats in this Convention,
vacated by secession At Charleston, bo
referred to tlio Committee oh Creden
tials, who shall bo instructed to exumino
the same,‘with tho understanding that
all occupants of scats bo bound to abide
by the action of. the Convention, and
support its nominees*
Tno previous question b>Jng called
for on this resolution, it was lost by the
following vote—yens 1074* nays 140J.
Upon this quostiofi ^iho Now York
delegation voted Hi the nogativo. This
is supposed to be a fair tost of tho rela
tive strongtlrof parties' In the Conven
tion, and foreshadows a backing out on
tlio pnrt of' tho New York delegation
from Douglas, when a new candi
date Is fairly presented to the Convcn-
tion.;
.A recess was then token until five
o’clock, at which time tlio Committee
on Credentials will report, and tho
question of disputed seats bo disposed
of.
There is a very largo crowd in nt-
tondauco, and the outside pressuro is
inuueuso. ..
AFTERNOON SESSION,
Tho Convention re-assembiQd at five
o’olock, wlicn tho discussion on tlio
question of contested seats was resumed,
with an evident determination on tlio
part of the friends of Douglas to yield
nothing. <
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, contend
ed that some of the delegates claiming
seals jn tho Convention, were not sent
hero, and others were contested; and
he was not willing- to sit side by side
with delegates wlio were not sout
to this Convention, and represented
nobody.
Mr. Russell, of Virginia, interrupted
him, and stated that his .Slate would
stand by the .South. [Frequent cheers
and hisses in the galleries.]
A motion wus made to liavo tho gal
leries cleared. • .
Mr. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania,
said that t|iey had become used to
hisses fronl tlio gullerios at Charleston.
Iti that cjty a delegate from tlio sunny
Solltli was hissed wlieno\’er ho cast ills
vole, and was at last compelled to retire
from ’the Convention. ‘NVIien the
Southern States left tlio Charleston
Convenlion, their • delegates declared
our principles wero.pot thoirs. They
divided thoinaelves from .us, and now
wished to como back without recanting

Baltimore, JunV 18.—A test vote
to-day indicates strongly that tho Now
York delegation will desert Douglas on
tlio first favorablo opportunltv, and go

'Baltimore, Juno 18, 11.30 P/ M.-r
When tho Convention ailjourned to
night there was an amondmonl pending
giving the President tho authority to
issue tickets of admission- for Delegates
from Arkansas, Texas, Florida and^Ils-
•issippl, and referring tho credentials
of the other throo seceding States to
tlio Committee. >
It is behoved that this fimqndment
will 1)6 adopted in the morning.
If tho Committoe report adversely on
tho credentials generally;.the Conven
tion, it is thought, will admit thorn by a
close, vote. New York will vote hi fa
vor of both propositions.
It is generally conceded to-night,
that hoitner Douglas, Breckinridge or
Guthrie can lie nominated, hut that Sey-
niour, Dickinson, or some entirely new
man will be chosen. New York, will
havo tho choieo of the nominee.
It seems to lie conceded by all parties
tliat q notninafion will ho made.

Huron Munchausen.
Tho "Adventures of Baron Munchau
sen” was a work written several years
ngo, for the purposo of putting to
filinmo a class of writers, who, in giving
to tho world accounts of. tholr-ndven-
ures in foreign lands, told all sorts of
mprobnblo itofics in order to render
themselves famous as travelers. Tho
hook which profossod to give tho
travels of f tho renowned Baron, was, of
course, a work of fiction, and the state
ments it oontained so for outstripped
those of 611 othor travelers that it served
os a.sevoro satiro ui>on them. Whon,
tlierefore, porsons on returning from
abroad woro detected in telling lies, >or
in giving greatly exaggerated accounts
of wlmt they had soon ordono, they
wore • accused of boing * disciple of
Buron Munchausen.
Perhaps the roadcr has never seen
the Baron’s book. If so, ho will be
amiised with one or two specimens
from its marvelous pages.
One evening tho Baron declares that
he was overtaken by a brow storm- So
muoh snow fell that he was obliged to
dismount, and tie Ills horse to what he
thought was tho stutnn of an old- tree,
while ho wrapped himself pp in his
cloak, lay down on tho snow, and fell
into a deep slumber. When he awoke
in the morning his horse .was missing,
lie oould notsee hira anywhero. At
longth, looking up towards tho sky, ho

A rosc-lmd blossomed in my bower

And aolilld beside tho linden troo
Sang, "Think no more of sorrow j.

For wo must woop to-inorow,"
I asked tho bird, "Oh, didst thou hear
Tho song thatsho would sing thco!
And oon it bo that thou shouhut fear
Wlmt noxt morn may bring thco?”
Ho nnsworod with triumph strain,
Saving, "1 know no sorrow)
But 1 must Bing my best to-day.
Fori maydloto-morrow.”
I asked tho roso, “Oh, loll mo, sweet,
In thy first beauty’s dawning,
Thou canst not fear, from this rotroat,
Tho eomlng of tlio morning ?’’
Slio flung hor fragrant .leaves opart,
Tlio lovelier for hor sorrow,

For 1 may droop to-morrow.”
