The Nominees of tho Baltimore Con
vention.
Tht* recentConvention of the. Con
stitutional Union Party, adopted the
following mulruai-m parvo Platform:—
Oun Country, The Constitution, The
‘.'Union TH* EljrpRCEMENT OR, THE
Laws. The, following Bketoh of the
Nominees is clipt from the Chronicle ds
Sentinel'. ■
' If left'to ouif own judgment, looking
at the subject in the light of party tac-
.tics, we should have chosen some one
■ sdoeperfiaps. But of course ourj own
private judgment, on a question of poli
ty, isnotto be compared to the matur
ed judgment of the delegates from thir
ty States assembled in solemn council
but if the making qf, a,President rested
solely with us, there is only one man in
these UnitedStates that wecould prefer
to John BeU, and that is Crittenden.—
For nearly, half a century John Bell
has been' in the service ot his country,
The Baltimore Nomination.
It will be seen, from our special dis
patches underthe telegraphic head, that
the Union Convention, at Baltimore,
havomade choice of Jno. Boll, of Ten
nessee* as the champion in the coming
presidential contest, and tbat Mr. Eve
rett has been .assigned to the second
plooo on "the "ticket.
These nominations, of- themselves,
characterise the Convention. They
show the spirit that animated it—a
spirit of genuine conservation and de
votion jto the-union of the States. The
men nominated are great names in
American history,'and yet. neither, be
longs to any political organization of the
present day.' The bitter sectional strifes
of modern,politics have possessed no
charms for either, and they have stood
alone^ outside the gladiatorial paler and
content to servo their country by hold
ing aloof or quietly depositing their
votes on the side of moderation, order
and law. Had they,possessed, less pa-
triotism and more of the love of self,
they mighthave beenaotive participants
in the factious straggles that have
characterized opr recent history. For
this reason—their want Of sympathy
with the. political, .elements . that now
distract the country from! ono end to
the other and control the machinery of
American politics—we fear they are not
the men for the times. If, on the other
hand,thp public,mind is weared of
strife, and duly olive to the terrible pro
gress we have made towards anarchy
and ruin, there are no two men in our
broad land, who are better fitted for lead-
and we defy the world to point to onC era in a movement for the re-inau

A lormer, but we think thpy. have
effectually accomplished the latter.—
The National Democratic party is no
more) .unless there is a great reaction in
Baltimore, and tho Northern Democrats
determine to abate their intemperate;
zeal for Douglas; and give thlpBouthern
Democracy an acceptable platform; it
is useless for the Northern Democrats
(and wo regret to. say a few of the
Southern Democrats) to attempt to
force Douglas upon us. The South can
not be brought to bis support. His
nomination in .Tune wllfbe certain de
feat of the party in the fall elections.—
We will not have him. All the fine
drawn theories against protection in the
territories and in his defence that can
be written from now to doomsday, will
not wipe out the damping stain of hta
treachery at a'time when the South
most needed his assistance. Give us a
sound man, and we care but little for
the platform. Platforms are of but
little consequence. The man is every
thing. If Stephens, Hunter, Davis,
Lane, Cushing or any other sound man
is nominated, the Democracy will sweep
everything before them. But the
South will not have Douglas, and gen
tlemen need not attempt to force him
upon us.
A Southern Shoe Manufactory.—
Messrs., C. A. Baldwin & Co., have com

which opposition he received muoh of

As to Everett, when we speak of him,
we feel that we are treading on sacred
ary, 1797, a matured statesman, of great
sagacity and Boman firmness, upon
whose fair escutcheon no enemy can
point to one foul blot. In his twenty-
first year he was elected to the
Senate of his native State, Tennessee,
. and from that r time to the fourth of ground. Who can speak i'll of such a

so many patriotic triumphs, and in lieu

that the Constitution of the United

The Douglas War.—A Washington
letter says: "Thq, war upon Douglas is
waged with unrelenting fury. The
President will leave nothing in his pow
er undone to accomplish this result.—
The friends of Douglas, on the other
hand, feel that they nave no ohoice but
to meet this crusade with equal vi^or
From, the Atlanta Intelligencer. ~
From our telegraphic dispatches, we
learn that two Democratic Conventions
are to be held, growing out of the one
recently held in Charleston. One is to
meet in Baltimore on the 18th of June
next, and the other at Richmond, Vir
ginia, on the second Monday in June,
proximo. We express, our regret, ns
we have done before, at this division in
the National Democratic party. In
this we have failed. The Charleston
Convention has evidently pro'ved a fail
ure. “Dougins and anti-Douglas”
ruined every thing. If Stephen A.
Dougins,’ and his opponents, aro to
“rule or ruin” tho Democratic party, we
have no further use for it. Douglas is
only tttf individual member of the party,
and he and his poculiar notions about
slavery in the territories are not worth
three quarters of * a cent, when com
pared with the great interests of the
National Democracy, upon which .rests
the salvation of this great Republic. A
set of men congregated at Charleston, a
portion of which were determined to
nominate Douglas or break up tho
Democratic party, and another set went
there to defeat him or break up the
party. One of these is ns reprehensible
os the other, and both ought to be re-
g udiuted by the Democracy of the
r nion. The “irrepressible conflict” is
upon us. Shall we go to Baltimore or
to Richmond ? That’s the question.—
So far as we aro concerned, protesting os
we do against the rashness of Southern
ultraists, we go with our native "South,’’
always right, but right or wrong with
the South. Sink or swim, live or die,
survive or perish, we are for the South.
From the Savannah Express,
Tho conduct of tho majority in the
Charleston Convention, who did not
even represent Democratic States, was
the last drop that mude the cup to over
flow. The feelings of the South were
fully prepared for the movement of
their delegates and they were, not taken
by surprise, but are ready to consumate
what their representatives have so inde
pendently begun.
Sympathizing as we most cordialy do
with the motives that have impelled
this course, we shall aid, to the limit of
our abilities, in the dissemination of the
great principles, thatun.derlie the whole
fabric now being built, and faithfully
render such service to the cause, as the
majority of tho Democratic party of the
South may see proper to demand. In
this thing wo are constrained to believe,
that ho who is not with the South, is ;
against her.
The Cassville Standard, tho Waynes
boro Independent South, the Dalton Timet,
and the Calhoun Platform all take strong
positions in favof of the action of the
seceders. »«.
Water-Gas.—A manufacturing com
pany in Philadelphia has proposed to
supply that city with water-gas, at an
annual saving of $2000,000, os compared
with gas made from coal. Henry C.
Carey, President of the Company, says
“the day is near at hand when water-
gas will be exhibited at several places,
and the cost of manufacture fully do
monstrated.
8SrA new themometev has been in
vented by M. Victor Beaumont, which
is said to be far superior to the mercu

of steel and one of brass, soldered
together, and bent in the form of a seg
ment of a circle. Brass is affected twice
as much as steel by ithe temperature,
and hence, by graduating the move

the variations of temperature are re

We slated, some two weeks ago, that
an individual had been arrested in Rich

State Bank bills in his possession, and
there were reasons for believing that he
was the identical person who perpetra
ted the heavy forgery upon the Bunk a
short time since; and further that Mr.
Wallace Gumming, the Assistant Cashier
had proceeded to Texas to look into the
matter. Mr.C. returned to the city
Wednesday night, and we are gratified
to hear that his trip was successful, and
“ at the forger and money ure likely,
>th, to be recovered. The individual
answers in every respect to the forger
“Brown,” though he was passing under
the assumed name of Green. Those
who know him out there say his real
name is Lawson; that he is a Methodist
preaoher and was for many years a resi
dent of Mobile. The package of money
was found to be the same as was fraudu
lently obtained from the Bonk no part of
it having been disposed of. The slip of
paper containing the calculations of the
Discount Clerk was also in the package
whioh was still wrapped in the identical
newspaper taken from the Bank. Brown
alias Green, alia* Lawson, is now in the
jail of Colorado-county, and the money
in the possession of the Sheriff. A re
