First Day, Wednesday. Baltimore, May 9.—The Nationnl ’Constitutionul Union Convention, for the purjloso of nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency assembled in Baltimore on Wednesnay, 9th ihtt., and with treat unanimity per fected its organization and prepared for the consideration of the important busi ness to come Before it. The attendance of delegates was large and general from all parts of the-country, and the roll contains names that have always meri ted and will oontinuO to attract the con fidence and voneration of tho unparti san sontiment of tho people. o The-greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and the delegations os they entered tho hall were greeted with applause. Tho Horn, Jehu: J. Crittenden, and General Leslie Coombs, of Kentuoky, wero loud ly-cheered as they entered, and were evidently much pleased with their cor- diai reception. The Convention camo to order at the call of the Hon. J. J. Crittenden, whose presence was greeted wlth great ap- S lause, imd organized by calling the Lon. Washington Hunt, of Now York to the ohair who was subsequently elec ted permanent President, with a list of Vice Presidents from each of the States represented. Mr. Hunt's ad dress, on taking the ehair was excellent in sentiment and received with con tinued expressions of approval and aty plausp, i i , The President addressed the Cohven- tion-ns follows: ‘ Gentlemen of ihe Convention: 1 thank, you for this unexpected manifestation of your kindness to m6. It fills my -^-breast With emotions which render me utterly incapable of uttering my feel ings of gratitude. The being called upon to preside over such an assemblage as this, embracing so many gentlemen eminent for public service, for patriot ism, for high intelligence, for public . and domestic tranquility? [Applause.] These dif- pea . nity 1 .■ ferences that estrange un'ib divide tiie people of this country should not pre vent us from going forward to discharge the great work of self-government, and to encounter all tho responsibility rela tive to those great interests which are national, which aro commercial, and which we all hold in common; which are ready to sustain and defend in com mon, and which possess the strongest claim upon our loyalty, patriotism, and allegiance to the Constitution and the Union, which we have received from the hands of our patriotic ancestors.— whftco lie ,!, 1 be pleased to liecoivo’ihooi’Us Vis.' who- nuy wquiie liis prpiSSfciouc-l MORNING; PASSENGER TRAIN.

J. B. MURPHY. RoW^ept l4,lB59.'*e; r 1 few,days ago, having ocopsion to visit one of the Western States of tho Union, I was tempted to extend my journey farther on, and, for tho first time, I saw the. glorious Mississippi— that noble and magnificent river which conneots tho North, and South, and which by nature’s organic law has de clared that wo are to bo one. As I floa ted, upon the placid bosom of tho Fa ther of Wnters.in my reflections I could not but think and feel that, since the bonefioience of. creative power has giv en us such a bond of union, intended to carry civilization, prosperity and hap piness to a kindred people, from it3 mouth to its sourco, how vain, how pre posterous is the folly of man, wliich would soperato those whom God hath ' ‘ Igothcr. [Applause.[ small and pitilul the effort seems of those who would divide the Mississippi and interpose commercial regulations, and customhouse and .ton nago duties ubon the people of this- American Union 1 God forbid, gontle- mon, that any of us or Pny considera ble portion of the people ofthis country, should ever give their sanction to’sen- tiraents of such a nature.

BaMEY. We cpnae here as the representatives of the independent States of the Union ^-States lyhich.liaye united their doc trines together forgreat arid npblo piir- poses. But, gentlemen, we will not dis miss the fact that wo come from States widely Beperated by distinpe, seperated. 'perhaps* to some extent, by .ditferenee of institutions, clime, and social organi zation, ahd that our Union, embraces two classes and sections of States, which are, sometimes, at this modern day, plbced in an attitude of antagonism and hostility to each other, t mean the poculiar differences which exist in the social and democratic organizations Tjiere are those who would magnify and exaggerate these differences to such a degree that the people shall no lou- ger regard themselves as friends and brothel's. Yes, there are such in both sections of this glorious Union of ours. I grieve to say it. There are men in this country who will organize strife in to a system, tut God forbid that the people of. this broad land either North or South, or any where else, should give their sanction or approval to tbo.se who would kindle, thoso fires of domostio discord and'sectional strife. ' Oh the'other hand, there is a class of people", North ahd South, (I rqjoico to see them represented hero to duy,) who dhsirb to put away these causes of con tention, arid who feel arid understand and know that our government and Constitution Wore not intended to eri- nder these an tagoriisms and distrusts itweon sections, but to promote peace and harmony and unity between these members ot the confederation. [Ap plause.] Thertf are those, (I am ono of them gentlemen,) who would if possi ble, bring back the public mind of tho country to the consideration of thoso grjat arid harmonious principles on which we can all stand together—one and inseparable. [Applause.] Be it our port, however, to promate arid dj& fuse a spirit Of broad and generous na tional feeling of forbearonoo and mode ration. So far as the broad question is concerned, which has been made the bane of our politics, it has furnished to a class of politicians tlio fiercest ele ments of strife and discord. But lei us remember, that Horn our positions, dif ferences of educations, of surroundings of habit, of social interest, and domes tic construction of soeioty, tliero will still be certain shades of difference. It was always so. It was so'from tho be- S ginning; but did that prevent the greet of tho Republic from coming to rn to form a oystom of political om and of solf-govornmeut which shall enable us to moveoir as ^o»e ^im- sault, ancMo cultivate amongst our- rota. under one flag; wo ttand upon national ground; representing the interests? ofa great continent which Providence has entrusted to our charge; and 1 believe ’ tlio people will yet pi;ovo themselves equal to the destiny which lias been given them, and hand it over, one har monious nation, to thoso who are. to come after us. [Applause.] I am detaining you too long, gentle- mcn, for 1 have no thought of making a second speech. In conclusion, 1 will only repeat the sentiment I expressed on a former occasion—that is, that our deliberations and proceedings may ho characterized by harmony, by decorum, and by dignity, and that no disturbing element may come ik I trust we shall not be very much embarrassed in the construction of a plutform. [Laughter and applause.] We ought not to en deavor strongly to establish uniformity of opinion on a question which-we'all know and understand—a question that every man will at least think and feel according to his own judgment. Wo liavo, not come here to contest the difference between the various distinc tions and the shadowy forms of popular sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction which have for some time been present ed, and occupied so largo a part of the attention of Congress and of the coun-' try. This is not the question which we have come to settle, and I do not think wo can settle it, if we would. I prefer to leave them oil where the Constitution has left them—[applause]—leaving every State in the full enjoyment of its own rights and its own independence. All we ask, gentlemen, (I speak now of conservative men in.that portion of the country from which I come,) is that you will manage, govern, and regulate your own',internal affairs according to your own will and pleasure. On the other hand, we propose to do precisely tho same thing for ourselves. [Ap plause.] » - -.. V- t vi .! Wo do not intend to burden our con sciences with your offences, neither do wo want you to burden yours with ours, but let each and every part answer for itself. That is tho sontiment which ought to pervade, and Which, I trust, will onco more pervade, the psople of this country. A spirit of generous da-, liberation will then once more become tlio order of the day, and I think I see signs that such is to become tho perva ding epii'it—a spirit that has been going on ever since the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise. I trust tho time has come when tho peoplo will not be disposed to eneourogo their representatives, in either section, in hurling infective and roproaoli u;-on tho people and represen tatives of other sections—to place themselves upon judgment of the con duct of other sections of our country, but will consult and deliberate upon those great measures which concern tho welfare and prosperity of the country at large, North or South, East or West. [Applause.] Once more I invoke tho spirit of harmony and union to preside over our deliberations, relying upon your kind aid and co-operation to ena ble mo to discharge the duties which it lias been your pleasure to dovolvo upon mo. [Applause.] i&jjjSBfnll At the conclusion of tho address a motion was made to prooeed immedi ately to the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President of tho United States. [Cheers.] : „ Mr. Shippen, of Pennsylvania, of fered tho following as an amend ment: Resolved, That each State shall now nominate ono person as n candidate for tho Presidency of the United Stales, and one person for Vice President, and - Convention thereupon proceed th to the olootion of Buch ofBoers from tho nominations thus to be mode, and that after this first three ballots, the candid ates having the lowest number of votos on each successive ballot shall be drop ped, and the ballot continued until * candidate shall bs duly elected hv a [Continued on
