Tho northern States and cities possess the population and anti-slavery emigration, that tho abolitipniflfcand emigration aid society will flood the territories of the.

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. .

Japan proper, consists of throo largo islands, Nipon, Kinsin .and Sikokoki. Of 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 and New Jersey • together. . The popu lation is variously * estimated at from 15,000,000 to ' 50,000,000, and does uot,. probably, faUsh)rt of 30,000,000. *6rAV 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 .

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.

The friends of Dougins are not so sanguine, and «ny thoro i« little dopchdenco to bo plac ed on .New York, as far as adhering to their eundidtuc is concerned. '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.

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 espiud tlio animal suspended to tho cross qf a church steeple. Thoro had bbon a freo thaw during the night, the snow had* melted away, and what hfl had taken to bo the stump of a tree tho evening before, provod now to bo the orbss' of a church steeplo l One hundred . and fifty feet of snow hud fallen and disappeared in twenty-four hours. The Baron took out his pistol, fired nt the bridlo, shot it in*tWo, and when tho horse! fell to the ground, his master at once mounted him and wcut oh his journey. On another occasion he was . passing under a gate, whioh fell down by acci dent,’ and out his poor horse asunder just bohind the saddle, Tho; Baron didn’t know of his loss till (in hour afterwards, when, passing over a brook, tho horsd took a drink, and hearing something gushing out like water be hind him, Munchausen turned around nnd saw to his amuzoment that for the last four or five miles, he had been riding on a half horso Instead of a whole ono. Tho. Baron turned back, got .the hind quartorr of tho animal, and sewod the body together with willow twig*, which afterwards grew to bo fine twigs; and proved a fine shelter to him Jroin tlio suu, when ho was on his jour- Ono very cold day ho Wns playing tunes on a bugle, when all the tunas frozo before they cumo out at the further extremities of tho instrument.
