A portion of our party friends have been, through the intriguing and machinations of a few restless political spirits, arrayed in open hostility to every Democrat who wil! not, loud- mouthed, curse and abuse the Administration. The parties who have fomented this political quarrel here, since that—to the Democracy—un- fortunate day upon which they abjured the old - Whig faith and allied themselves to our party, for the reason that In this direction lay political pow- er, in their every act attested that their motto is, “We would rather rule in hell, than serve in Heaven!” Ever aiming at power, they have turned their gaze upon what they conceived to be a rising political star, and, unfortunately for Sen- ator Douglas, have allied themselves to hie polit. ical interests—for a man must truly super- human political strength in this community, to bear the weight of their approval. As you are already aware, in the fourth con- gressional district there has been a separation of the delegates chosen to select the delegates to the National Convention. The facts attending this unhappy state of aifsirs have been so perverted by those who produced the result, by the sending oif of false telegrams, &c., as to demand the telling of ‘‘a plain, unvarnished tale,” that the minds of the Democracy elsewhere may be disabused, and recognizing The Star as a journal devoted to the cause of truth, I propose to furnish you and your readers with such a history of the affair as the record, in its every particular, will fully sub- stantiate. Looe before the Presidential come! ‘n was re- garded as demanding the especial attention of our people, the leaders of this turbulent faction organ- ized what Is known as the *‘Jefferson Rotation Democratic Association ” ‘This organization em- bodied ail those who failed to obtain great ap- Coenen from the President, as its leaders a: irectors, and such as were unsuccessful loc: P- pli-ants as its working body, and for a year past they have, Know-N: tuins like, held secret meet- ings, and Jored and enlisted unthinking Demo- crats into their organization by appealing to their worse passions, and inflaming them to an inveter- ate opposition to these of their old party friends to whom had been accorded the local appointments. Conceiving, a few months since, that their power was suiticient to deter real Democrats from avow- ing their adhesion to the Administration, the managers devoted it tothe cause of Senator Doug- las, in the furtherance of their selfish interests, and to wreak their vengeance upon the Adminis- tration because they could not control its patron- age. The primary elections heid by them on the 20th ultimo were ‘by them rendered a mockery, every Know-Nothing Club in the Fourth Congret- sional District being enlisted into their service, for hire—the contest being Dougias and Rotation vs. Fealty to the Administration. Both parties claimed the victory; and { will simply give the record below, and leave your readers to determine where the victory lies On the night of the 23d ultimo, the district convention then elected, comprising the twelve upper wards of the city, met forthe purpose of selecting two delegates to represent the district at Charleston, the convention having been directed by the Democratic City Convention to organize at 7 o'clock. Ten minutes before the hour fixed the Douglas delegates attempted to obtain the ad- vantage of the temporary organization with a view to the admitting of all tueir delegates from all the wards contested, which comprised one- half the district. Here ascene of much confu- sion ensued, the Administration men warmly op- posing this move. ‘The excitement was kept up until the proper hour arrived, when the Admin- istration delegates succeeded in organizing the convention. ‘his being done, the Boagee men renewed the proposition to organize the conven- tion with their friends, which they did. As soon as they had got their president into a second chair, the Administration delegates proceeded to business, and successively adopted resolutions for the appointment of a committee on credentials and the adjournment of the convention until the follow: | Site at Il o’clock, whereupon the Ad- ministration delegates from six of the twelve IP" Some of the Republican papers are finding fault with Senator Seward’s late speech, making the objection that his pbrases ‘capital States” and -labor States’’ are milk-and-water substitc- tions for the old and expressive words ‘slave States” and --free States.’ {> A noted desperado by the name of Rhodes was recently killed in Salt Lake city by a mam named Luce, to prevent him from entering an apartment where a Mr. W. A. Hickman lay con- fined by an old wound, and with whom Rhodes wes supposed to be at enmity. [7 The John Brown excitement has not yet subsided in Hayti. In Cape Haytien, Cayes, Jac- mel and Gonaives, as weil as at Port au Prince, religious services in commemoration of John Brown have been held with all possible pomp and s.lemnity; and all over the island subscrip- tions in behalf of the widow of John Brown have been started. ee {> The Maryland Legislature yesterday elected Hon. J. A. Pearce to the U. 8. Senatorship for the term commencing March 4, 1861. Mr. Pearce received the full Democratic, and the Hon. Jas. U. Dennis the full American vote. “The Demo- eratic caucus nominee for Bank Directors were also elected. The Committee on Judge Stump’s ease have, in both Houses, reported an address to the Governor requesting Lis removal from office. In the House the matter was made the order of the day for Monday next. The report of the Com- mittee on Contested Elections was made the or- der for Wednesday next in the House. Tue New York Weexty—Tue Monet Story AND SKETCH PareR oF THE AcE !—The New York Weekly is now universally admitted to be the most perfect paper of its kind ever published. Its serials, sketches, and” poems are unequaled, and it employs the most extensive corps of first- glass contributors of any literary journal now ‘defore the public. Its proprietors have spared neither pains nor expense to make it what it is, for besides its purely literary matter, it a number of distinctive features which render it an invaluable family paper. Among other things, we would particularly mention its ‘Notices to Correspondents” and {ts ‘Knowledge Box’’—the latter an entirely original feature with the New York Weekly—which two departments contain an amount of useful knowledge not to be gained from any other source. It is safe to say that in the course of the year two thousand items of informa- tion are given, running over the whole field of useful knowledge, embracing valuable recipes and suggestions on every imaginable subject And this is entirely independent of its literary matter, for, besides from two or three continued stories weekly, it manages to give from eight to twelve first-class sketches, half a dozen poems, and a great variety of entertaining matter, em- bracing splendidly written editorials, miscellany, and items of general interest, making up a total of forty columns of original tirst-class reading matter, at a cost of only four cents per copy. Of course the proprietors of the New York Weekly have not accompiished all this without a vast outlay of money, but it has been capital well in- vested, for their journal now enjoys a circulation which is exceeded by only one other literary paper in the United States, and still its readers increase t] idity which t i wards left the ball. Sen staves ey EEE te setoniet (ee 2) F ] "The Dougiia delegates remained, and admitting Persenal. delegates from all the disputed wards, they pro- ceeded to elect Robert J. Brent and ‘Taomas M. Lanahan to represent the district at Charleston— those acting in this body claiming to represent the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Thirteenth, Four’eenth, Seventeenth, Kighteenth, and Nineteenth Wards The right of these delegates to seata will be here- after shown. The following day the convention again met, the committee on credentials having found tbat delegates had been legally elected in all the wards except the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Thir- teenth, where the stutting of the ballot boxes and the operations of the Know Nothing clubs had vitiated the result ‘The convention then perma- nently organized, with full delegations from the Twelfth, Fifthteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Twentieth Wards—those from the Fourteenth and Nineteenth, the remaining two wards where legal elections had been held, not appearing in the convention. The convention then proceeded regularly to elect two delegates to the Charleston Convention, the choice falling on ov. Philip Frank Thomas and Charles J. M. Gwinn. Above I promised to show the right to seats of those whom the Douglas win adinitted and acted with. At the primary elections already aliuded to, the same delegates from each ward were charged wjth the double duty of representing their tenphtive wards in district conventions, and in a general city convention to select dele. gates to tbe State Convention to chose the two Senatorial delegates to Charleston. This yeneral convention met on Mongay night last, and bya unanimous vote admitted to seats a!! the delegates who had acted with the Administration party in the district convention, while. by the same vote, it declared that the two delegations from the Sev- enteenth and Eighteenth Wards, who had acted in the Douglas body, had no right to represent these wards, and threw them out, thereby attest- ing that the proceedings of the friends of Douglas were illegal and a nullity. Relative to the Douglas resolutions ado) on Monday night, itis only necessary to say that they were offered at a time when one third of the dele- gates bad left the hall, and that the bulk of the vote for them was cast by delegates in this con- vention from the first eight wards. which are in the third congressional district, and that the reso- lutions were oifered by a delegate from that dis- trict, they undertaking to decide upon an issue pertaining entirely to the fourth district, in the matters of which they had really no more right to interfere, officially, than have the conventions of another Stite. All these facts are attested by the record, and will be sustained before the Charles- ten Convention. Yours, &c : Observer. -++* The supposed murderer of Dr. W. J.

Administration triumph. Now, the true sentiment of the Convention is to be Sought in the tesolutions it adopted; and if squat- ter sovereighty can cull comfort from them, it can “extract sunshine from cucumbers.’ Mr. Foster ‘was an original anti-Lecomptonite, who supported the English bill as ardently as Mr. English him. self; and in the subsequent contest between the Douglasites of the State, under Mr. Forney’s lead, and the Pennsylvania Democracy, has been as true as steel; rendering, perbaps, more efficiert service to the Democratic cause than any other man jn the State. He was doubtless nominated as a requital for the gallant manner In which he sacrificed his original views upon the Lecompton question, when that course on his part became nee; to the conservation of the Democratic party, and the ascendancy of its principles. The delegation to Charleston was selected to the end of sustaining the position of the Demo- cratic party, that the Dred Scott decision finally disposed of the question of “squatter sovereignty;”’ and they may be relied on to act in the Conven- tion, from first to last, with those who hold that view of the question, which Mr. Douglas would still keep open. +<w0e, —— BaLtimors ANnvaL Metgovist EpiscopaL ConrRRENcR.—Second Day.—Together with other business, the report from the agent of the Tract Society west of the Blue Ridge was then called up and read. ‘The report speaks of the prejudices existing against traveling agencies, and the posi- tive refusal of many ministers to lend an interest in the work, and others giving the agent to under- stand his presence amongst them was anything but agreeable. Notwithstanding all these draw- backs, the agent was hopeful of final success. The report of the committee to reper on the Preachers’ Aid Society, wes presented by the Rev. N.J.B. Morgan. It speaks in high terms of the operations of the Society, and calls for the foster- ing care of the Conference, protesting against the neglect of the worn out ministers, in the name of humanity and this enlightened century. The report was signed by Revs. W. Hirst, W.T. D. Cleram, and Joseph 8 .Carson, Esq. On motion of Rev. Thomas Myers, the third question of the general minutes was’ proceeded with, and the following members were named as entitled to admission into full connection, having served three years: John A.Williams, W.

The class was then called up, and the usual question put by the Bishop, accompa- nied with a number of well-timed and eloquent remarks,which were received by the class as most appropriate. The entire class were then, by a vote of the Conference, admitted to Deacon's orders Thg business of the Conference will be gone throgizh with dispatch, and it is thought an ad- journment may be arrived at on Tuesday night, as Bishop Simpson will have to leave on Wednes- day to meet one of the Western Conferences Special dispatch to the Baltimore American.

He and they have pledged the reversion of bis strength in the Charleston Convention to at least six would-be candidates for the Democratic Pres- idential nomination, and his support, and that of bis party, for the Vice Presidential nomination, to full twenty-two. His condition made for the reversion of his Presidential nomination strength is that the promised recipient of it is to labor with might and main to secure him as heavy a compli- mentary vote in the first few ballottings as possi- ble. With those he tickles with the Vice Presi- dential straw, the condition is, virtually, that his partizans in the convention will vote for the nom- ination of him who is most efficient in securing his (Mr. D.’s) nomination for the Presidency. known were Wm.
