Wo give up most of oar space this morning to llio proceedings of the Bal timore Convontioh, belloylng they will ho more interesting to our roadorsthan anything wo could substitute in their place, because they nr© fraught with moro momentous consequcnco to tho country; and especially to tho South, than lmvo ovor been tho result of any political assembly. After six days of painful and protrac ted labor, tho mountain of Democracy brought forth a Squatter Sovereignty mouso,nml expired in its travails. It is what wo desired and expected. So far from considering it a calamity, wo lmil it as tho “paramount political good for while tho Democratic party has con stantly stirred up sectional animosity and strife, for tho purposo of obtaining ascendency in tho Southern States, it hits, with corresponding assiduity, con tinually made concessions to the free- oil sentiment of Its Northej-nullles to preservo tho unity of its organisation and lotnin the honors and emoluments of •ffioo. While auolt a policy could liavo.no tthcr tendency than to mugnify and hasten tho evils which must ovcniually ind inevitably hnvoeffootA a dissolution •f tho Union, it at the sarao timo ren- lerod the South loss prepared to moot this deplorable event. But, they became tho first victims of their own folly. Tho Southern division of tho party wore deceived into the hon ed bcliof that In the principles avowed and to bo administered by tlio Democ racy, was tholr only safety; tho North ern division woro convinoed that these Hsimo principles would provo a most of- factual bar to. tho further extension of ouv institutions in tho common Torrlto- l ies. This conflict of opinion was most kilfully and successfully hidden from tho people in tho two sections,’ for a few years j but, fortunately, produced dis- MMisions in tho Democratic organisation which were finnlly consummated at Bal tiinore, in tho disruption of the party itsolf. In this consummation so devoutly wished, is t) 10 Jiopo of the lover of the South, and of the whole country. Tho Southern Democracy having soparated from their unreliable frecsoll allies, and tho on tiro South, (with tho oxcoption of a few Douglasites, insignificant in influ •nee as well tvs' numbers,) agroolng in •rinciple, tlmre can bo no reason why icy should not ignore moro party names ml distinctions, and forgot party ani osities and prejudices, and cordially ito upon Bomo fair ahd honorable ba- and call upon tho honest, conserve- vo voters of tho North, not upon dem- .agues and freesoilora, to come to tho •Hcucof tho Const it ul ion and the Union, hts can bo done, and patriotism de- ji.uds it. Wo arorqjoioed that what remained of tho Baltimore Convention nominat ed Stephen A. Douglas; for while wo Udiovo his enndidnoy will defeat Lin- ooln, still wo liavo no idea that he can ho oloctcS himself. Few persons at tho South consider his doctrines loss de ductive of pur rights, than thoso of tho Republican party, and his nomination is ns purely sectional as that of Lincoln; for thoso Southern delegates who re mained in tho Convention as grossly misrepresented the sentiment or their section ns did tho spurious delegates from tho South In tho Chicago Couvon- tion. Tho nomination of Senator Fitzpat- rick will not add materially to his strength, for ho is a man without infiu- cujOT&jpd with no claim upon the affec tions of the Southern people. . But our limited space warns us to fctop,. Wo will look anxiously for tho action of the Constitutional Democratic Convention. When that Is known wo can with moro confidence givo our opin ion of tho final result. llrcckenrldgo nud Lnuo Nominated. Intelligence was received yesterday afternoon that the Constitutional Dem ocratic Convention have nominated John C. Breckonridge, of Kentucky, and Joseph Lane, of Oregon, for tlio Presidency and Vico Presidency. Stepheus for Vice-President. Wo learn from passongors that come inyestevday, that lion. Alexander H, Stephens is uomiuatcd for Vice-Presi dent, with Douglas, instead , of Fitzpat rick, of Ala;, as first reported. Tho Postmaster General and the New York Defalcations* Tho press generally throughout the country aro commenting ujxm tho statement of tho Postmaster Goneral upon tho defalcation of Mr. Fowler.— It is certainly ono of tlio most extra ordinary public documents ovor given to tho country! It is a self-conyictitig report; and yet Mr. Ilolt, who 1ms a great deal of ability, but no moral sense, docs not seem to know that it absolutely, furnishes ovidenee convicting himself of tho most remarkable ncgli- (enco in the conduct of tho Post Office Department. All tho testimony given beforo the Oovodo Committee, intended to prove ovor so much against the Pres ident and Cabinot, is us nothing com- parod with tlio revolutions and admis sions of tlio Posttnustcr General, liim- selfone of theCahinot. Here was a regu lar system of defalcation going on from quarter to quarter for five years or moro upon a plan WlftoH must have been known to some of the officials at Wash ington,and ought to have been known to and corrected by tho head of the Post Office Department. Mr. Holt puts tho blamo, though very gently, on some of the auditors nnu assistants; but tho public, we tliiuk, will lie likely to heap moro censure upon them than tho Post master Goneral, and to expect their ro- moval. Again, Mr. Holt insinuates that the United States Murshnl of tlio district was derelict in his duty in not securing tho arrest of Mr. Fowler. If that bo so then why not dismiss him ? Huvo not the admlnistavtion tlio courage to _ move nil officer who neglects Ills duty ? Thoso aro matters about which the press and noopla arc both busy. The Postmas ter General's report is very satisfactory in one respect: it establishestfGuclusive evidouco of shameful incompotcncy in tho management of tho Department. But it is very likely to diminish public confidonco in the administration of af fairs uonnrally at Washington, if the af fairs is allowed to end hero.—-V. Y.
