BALTIMORE CONVENTION. Extract from the proceedings of the Baltimore National Convention, convened on the 20th May, 1835, for the purpose of nominating candidates for president and vice president. The President and Vice Presidents of the Convention then proceeded to count the votes, and it appealed that the votes for a candidate fcr President were as follows. FOR MARTIX VAN BUREN.

The President therefore declared that Martin

Van Buren, of New York, wns selected by a Uxanimois Vote, a candidate for the office of President of the United States. The result was received with loud and enthusiastic cheering, which continued for some time. 'Mr. Harper, of N. II. moved that the convention proceed to ballot for a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States. Mr. Mason, of Va., then rose and said he was instructed by the Virginia Delegation to anncunce to the convention, before proceeding to ballot for a candidate for the Vice Presidency, that the following resolution had been passed by said delegation: " Resolved, That the Virginia delegation can in no wise recommend to the People of Virginia, for the office of Vice President, any individual who does not carry out or maintain the political principles Virginia ever held dear." The balloting for a candidate for the office of Vice President then proceeded as before for President, and Upon counting the ballots, the result appeared as follows: It. M. JOHNSON. W. C. RIVES.

The President therefore declared that Richard M. Johnson, having received more than twothirds of the votes cast, was duly elected a candidate for the Vice Presidency. The announcement was received with long and continued cheering. Prior to the decision being announced from the chair, a good deal of conversation arose as to the propriety of a State's dividing its vote. One of the Ohio delegation was understood to say that some of the votes of that State had been cast for a different candidate, but, that they had labored under the impression that all the votes of the State must be for one and the same candidate. Sundry motions were made, but they were all withdrawn. 3Ir. Mason, of Va. then said he was instructed by the Virginia delegation to state to the convention that the delegation from Virginia did not consider the person selected as a candidate for Vice President, one who they could be assured, would support those doctrines which were maintained by Virginia, and that they could net therefore recommend his support to their constituents. The honorable gentleman then proceeded to make some rc- . marks deploring the necessity of this statement, explaining the reasons of it and requesting the favorable construction of the convention. Mr. M. concluded by submitting the resolution given above, and requesting its insertion on the journals.

Mr. Holt, of Kentucky, then rose and addressed the Convention as follows: Mr. President: the gentleman who has just taken his scat, has announced, as the organ of the Virginia Delegation, .that they cannot, nor can their constituents acquiesce in the nomination just made by this Convention, ofR. 31. Johnson for the Vice Presidency; and lie has placed that secession from the popular will here expressed, upon the ground that this distinguished citizen of the West, does not support the republican faith as understood by Virginia. Sir, I have heard this declaration with equal surprise and regret. I know not what constitutes republicanism, in the estimation of Virginia, and the gentleman has not tho't proper to inform us. But I do know something of the history and character of the illustrious patriot and hero, whose devotion to De- . mocratic principles has been so unexpectedly and wantonly assailed. Who is he! if, Mr. President, you could at this moment transport yourself "to the far West,' you would find upon one of her green and sunny fields, surrounded by the implements of husbandry, a personage whose plain and simple ga"h, whose frank, and cordial, and unostentatious bearing would tell you that he had sprung from the peoplethat he was still one of them, and that his heart, in all its recollections, its hopes, and its sympathies, was blended with the fortunes of the toilinr million. But, sir, his scarred and shattered

frame and limping gait would tell you, too, that the

triumphed and returned, loaded with the richest trophies of the campaign. Sir, ins deeds rely not for recollection or blazonry upon musty records, nor yet upon caucus or convention addresses they have been spoken in the thunders of victorious battle they have been written upon the hacked and broken armor of his country's invaders. His life has been one of unfaltering, unswerving devotion to freedom and to the people. The people "love him because he first loved them." His popularity rests upon no calculation of political chances. It is not seated in the arithmetic, but in the deep and ardent affections of his country. It is not intriguers, nor President-makers, nor the starched, strutting, brainless aristocrats of your villages, that rally around him. No! It is the enlightened, liberal laboring people, whom he has served. It is the mechanics the bold and hardy yeomanry, who are their country's pride in peace, its bulwark in war men of the ploughshare and the pruning knife, who, amid the late "panic" which spread dismay and consternation from one end of the Union to the other, stood firm as the seated hills still planting their crops, and hailing the storm and the calm as equally commissioned to bless them: Men, sir, who were dependent for no banking facilities, who drew upon no heartless corporation, but upon the God that made them and they were answered in the sunshine and the shower. Their flocks sported in beauty and in gladness through their smiling fields their harvests were ripened their granaries filled. To these they looked for nurture for protection to the brooding wings of the Almighty; and under their shadow, and amid the household idols that blessed their domestic hearths in the pride and unsullied nobility of their nature, they vowed "eternal hostility to every kind of tyranny that can oppress the mind of man." Under the influence of this high and holy resolve, the Bank, with all its train of intrigues and profligacies, has gone to the wall, and a peal of popular triumph has been shouted at the polls, which will ring, I trust, with sickening agony in the ears of purse-proud usurpation, for aa age to come. These are the men, Mr. President, that have demanded and will sustain the nomination of the distinguished personage to whose character and patriotic daring I have just referred. His fame, like

that of our venerable Chief Magistrate, spreads every where alike in the wilderness and in the "city hall" penetrating into the far valleys, climbing to the hill-tops, and reaching, in its kindling, aminating influences, every Jog cabin beyond the mountains. His brilliant and successful struggles against the foul, adulterous union of Church and State, have consecrated his name to immortality.

The emancipated debtor, as he leaps from his prison !

and pallet of straw, shouts forth his praises and the soldier of the revolution, as he totters into his grave, teaches his children to love and venerate his name. There is a voice from the great valley of the West, from all her cities and her cottages there is a voice from the East, from the North, and the South there is a voice from the fields of the husbandman, from the work shops of the mechanic, from the primary assemblies of the People, from the conventions of neighborhoods and of States, calling aloud for the elevation of this war-worn soldier, this tried and incorruptible patriot, this advocate of the destitute and the down-trodden, this friend to freedom and to man! Such, Sir, is Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky a Republican in works, if not in faith, as strangely understood by the Virginia delegation. I rejoice that this Convention, in making this nomination, have scouted all the subtle diplomacy of the politician, and have

freely responded to the warm, gushing affections of i

the millions they represent. They have nothing to fear for the fate of their nominee: he is fortressed behind principles and popular attachments impregnable as Gibraltar. The People have twined the wreath of glory around his brow the harpy-hand of faction cannot tear it off, nor can the sirocco breath of a myriad of calumniations wither the eternal freshness of its emerald. Mr. President, these remarks have been made wholly in defence, and not by way of recrimination. No imputation is designed to bo thrown upon tiie distinguished friend of the gentleman from Virginia. Of the talents, the patriotism, and the democracy of William C. Rives, I entertain the most exalted estimate. I would not, if I could, pluck one sprig from the chaplet of renown which adorns his brow, "lie has worn his honors well and mav

he wear them long." In bowing to the right of instruction and retiring from the Senate of the United States, again to submit his fortunes to the popular suffrage, ho has made a sacrifice to republican principles, which does credit to his party, to his State; which sheds lustre not only upon his own life, but upon the age in which he lives. But, sir,

ne is yet in the flower ot his manhood, with prospects that brighten every hour. This Convention have riot disparaged or discountenanced his claims they have only been postponed. Mr. President, I would beg the delegates who have voted in the minority upon this occasion, to pause and reflect upon the necessity of a prompt and cordial co-operation with the Majority in the nominations made. Let not the seeds of weakness and ultimate overthrow be found in the present struggle of the Republican party. True, that party has warred upon systems of slavery, and upon the father of systems, and left them prostrate upon the field. It has grappled with the mammoth Bank, and the American aristocrats and Britssh tories that sustained it has triumphed, gloriously triumphed over them all. The story of that victory has gone abroad upon the wings of the windState has spoked it to State, city to city, and man to man, in the tones of gladness and congratulation. The nation has awakened from its somnambulism and the panic, with all its dreamy spectres of ruin, has passed off. And that colossal moneyed power, which, in the arrogance of its strength, and in the guilt of its ambition would have flung a fetter upon every free spirit in the Republic, smote by the arm

of popular indignation, is now gasping in the agonies of its dissolution. This splendid result, this sublime tribute to the incorruptibility and intelligence of the People, has strengthened the cause of

liberal principles throughout the habitable globe.

had their run." It is painful to think cf the fact, that but few get justice done them at any time. Bomo are over-rated, some are under-rated, and not a few entirely neglected. We are happy to hear, that a society is about being formed in this city to collect the minute history of the revolutionary and the last war, and to give it to the public for digestion and reflection, in doing honor to the enlightened and the brave. A thousand little gems arc scattered through our history, which, if strung together, or properly set with taste, would throw a lustre over the genius of the country hitherto unknown. Among these wc will mention a brilliant affair, achieved by a few spirited young men, on the night of the twenty-seventh of November, 1812, opposite Black-rock. The details of this exploit have never been given by those who have pretended to write the history of the war of 1812. In all probability this neglect arose from the cloud that rested, and still rests, over General Smythc's fame, who at that time commanded that department of our northern

army; but the fact is certain, that a small band of

sailors and soldiers did, at the hour of midnight, make a descent upon the enemy's strong hold, take their commanding officer prisoner, spike their guns, and burn their barracks. There were tw?elve naval officers in this exploit; nine of whom were killed or wounded that night, and but few of them remain to demand justice from their countrymen, who are always willing to render it, when convinced that the meritorious have been neglected by accident or overlooked by design. On the morning of the twenty-seventh of November, 1812, instructions were givvn by Gen.Smyihe to the several naval 'ofiicers embraced in tho expedition, to se lect a certain number of batteaux and to nuinle the oars, etc. preparatory to an attack

The orders were no sooner communicated, than they I tated before, Commissioners were appointed, for jo-

DenrLorn County. The Commissioners appointed by the last Legislature to re-locate the County seat of Dearborn, have decided upon removing it from Lawrenceburgh to Wilmington. Wilmington is a small town, standing upon a leg!i hill, very near the centre of tli2 county. It is about 7 miles wett cf Lawrenceburgh, and about 1 mile from the Ohio river. Although the Commissioners have removed the seat, cr determined upon it, wo believe the people of Lawrenceburgh have another resort.

AVhen the nation was agonizing and bleeding at every pore, when war had dessolated, with fire and sword, your northern frontier, and the best blood in the land had been vainly spilt upon its plains, he left the warm halls of Congress for the bleak winds of the Canadas; and waiting for no summons of the recruiting officer, he rallied about him the chivalry of his State, and dashed with his gallant volunteers to the scene of hostilities, resolved to perish or retrieve the national honor. With daring impetuosity, he pursued and overtook the enemy threw himself, like a thunderbolt of war into the thickest of the fight fought hand to hand, and eye to eye with the Briton, and his savage myrmidons poured out his blood like water

unshaken, can alone guard the Republican party from the insidious approaches of their discomfited adversaries. For though those adversaries have been broken up and scattered every where, disguising themselves under every name, and assuming every badge, yet we know they are still leagued together by a common sense of defeat, by a common scorn of the people who have trampled them down, by a common longing for office and power, from which they have been driven, and by a common detestation of the great principles of the Republican party. Impressed with these truths, the democrats of the Union have sent us here, that we might meet as a band of brothers and suffer our feelings to mingle into one, that we might plight anew our faith to each other, and to our country, prepare for concert aud union of action, that we may go forth shoulder to shoulder, and heart to heart in the coming conflict.

were promptly obeyed to the letter. It is impossi

ble to depict the anxious faces, and the unusual bustle cf preparation that day. At about half-past 11 at night directions were issued fr nil hands to assemble in an old siied, fragile a superstructure, which stood on the margin of the creek, and uer.r its confluence with the lake. On hearing the summons nil immediately repaired to the phce appointed, where they beheld General Sinythe, the rnosl prominent personage in the assembly, he having taken an elevated position. IIo was surrounded by about one hundred and fifty officers and men. The goneral, with great gravity of countenance, blended with unusual impressiveness of manner, exhorted all to do their duty portraying in glowing colours the danger and difficulties to be encountered; the extreme urgency of instant action and the glory that would follow. The naval commander then addressed a few brief words of encouragement to the officers designated to command tho boats, as well as to their respective crews. The meeting terminated. Every one repaired with alacrity to his station. Never did men seem more eaer to engage the enemy, notwithstanding their aversion to the element they had to pass to reach their foe. When the word wns passed, "all ready," the boats proceeded in regular succession, bout a mile nnd half along shore, so us to weather the southern extremity of the island, and gain, at the same time, sufficient way to counteract the effect of the current, in reaching the intended point of attack. It. W3S a lovely night, not a cloud perceptible in

the firmament, but so intensely cold that cloaks were by no means uncomfortable, notwithstanding the additional hamper of pistols, muskets and boarding-pikes. There was not a ripple to he seen

on the water, and every thing around them was as placid and serene ns th e surface on which they moved. When the party had gained the startingpoint, the boats gradually edged away, just stemming the stream. The moment they had reached the middle of the lake, the moon, which wns majestically waning in the west, either disclosed to the enemy shadows playing in her beams, or the progressive sound of the dipping oar alarmed their fears. The nearest centinel called out, kWho goes there?" no reply was given. But the order was, "silence I reserve your fire and pull away." The strokes were now renewed with redoubled energy; another instant, and the question of "who goes there," wns repeated, along the whole line of outposts, followed by a brisk, running fire. The drums commenced beating, and a martial force stood ready to encounter their assailants the moment they touched the British shore. All hands sprang simultaneously into the water, giving, at the same lime, three cheers, pouring a volley of musketry upon the enemy which was followed by a rush with pistols and boarding-pikes. The foe wns panicstruck, believing that ihe general with his legions was com

ing to plant his immortal standard upon their soil.
