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 ingin integrity, honesty, capacity or coun try has been more thoroughly patriotism.

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 menced at Alexandria, Va., the manu facture of shoes upon a' largo, scale, and with, a success which promises the demands for manufactured goods is in ’■ determined excess of the supply, and the proprie tors find it difficult to obtain sufficient hands to mako up - such work as is needed. l :■< measures which he opposed, and for which opposition he received muoh of publio condemnation in the South, are now, by common consent, set down Sb .i nfamous and deceptive plots to, entrap tho South to her ruin. 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 March, 1859, he has been in publio life, man ? We cannot believe that ho has While yet young, in 1826, he was elect- the broad limito of the ed first to Congress, defeating the great we may be miBtake n; faction is and popular Felix Grundy, backed by soulless, and nothing is good or holy in Gen.

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 rial thermometer. It consists of a strip 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 ments ot the end of the compound strip, the variations of temperature are re corded."

SAMUEL STEWART, Tax Collector and Rec. The State Bank Swindler Idcdtified and the Money Found. We slated, some two weeks ago, that an individual had been arrested in Rich mond, Texas, with a large amount of 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 quisition upon the Governor of Texas will be send sent out immediately.—Sav Republican, Railroad Strike.—It is stated that three of the State Roads of North Car olina have refused to oarry mails at the present rates; they are the North Car olina, the Releigh A Eastern, and the Columbia k' m Charlotte.
