The following is the ticket of the Northern demo- For President. .. Stephen A. Douglas, of Minois. For Vice President... Benjamin Fitzpatrick, 0 Alabama, The seceders, making 118 delegates, met and or- Ranized by appointing Caleb Cushing to preside” over their deliberations, assuming theirs to be the regular National Convention of the democracy, The ticket nominated by the seceders is as fol- lows:— Jobn C. Breckinridge of Ky. -Joseph Lane, of Oregon Great enthusiasm prevailed in both Conventions when the nominations were declared. After the usual closing proceedings the meetings adjourned sine die. There are now no less than five Presidential tickets in the ficld, as follows:— Black republican. -Abraham Lincoln, of Tl. Northern democrac phen A. Douglas, of Tt. Southern secession democracy ..J. C. Breckinridge, of Ky. Nationa! Union..... john Bell, of Tenn. John Brown abolition dorrit Sinith, of N. Y. And it is not unlikely that Sam Houston will yet be nominated as an independent democratic candi- | date. In Congress yesterday the Senate received a message from the President vetoing the Homestead bill. The President says the small sum asked for the public lands by the bill—twenty-five cents per acre and a credit of five years—is equal almost to a donation, and that Congress has no right to give ‘way the public domain to States or individuals. Dasthenmors, aotty Qua ee vvuscuuonal objec- tions, the bill is unjust to old soldiers who hold military bounty lands, as it greatly reduces their value. It opens a large field for injurious specula- tion; makes an unjust discrimination between Americans and foreigners, by prohibiting the former, if single, from having the benefit of the bill, while the foreigner, without being the head of a family, is given those privileges. The bill draws partial distinctions between pre-emptors, and seriously affects the revenue from the public lands, ‘The memehrty: trbrdgen. of the bill, notwithstanding the jent's objections, and the veto of the President was fsustained. The vote Stood 28 to 18, two-thirds of the votes cast being required to pass the bill over the veto. The Post Office Deficiency Appropriation bill was then taken mp, and a long debate ensued on the proposition to restore the mail service discontinued by the Post- master General last year. The Senate refased to restore, and thus the bill has failed, unless the ac- tion of the Senate is reversed on Monday morning. ‘The bill embraces appropriations to the amount of $13,000,000, and it is not unlikely, should it fail al- together, that tho President will call an extra ses- sion of Congress. In the House a motion was adopted requesting the President to communicate to Congress, at its next session, whether information can be obtained rela- tive to the disposition of Africans captured by British cruisers; also, the disposition made of the officers and crews of the slavers captured. A number of private billa were passed. The Presi- Gent sent in a message recommending an altera- Qion of the existing law, in order that the Postmas- Ber General may provide for carrying the Pacific ©cean mails on terms reasonable and just—sevoral companies and shipowners declining to perform the service for the compensation to which the department is now restricted. The Chair- man of the Committee of Ways and Means ssked leave to introduce a bill in ccordance with the President's suggestion, but Mr. horace F. Clark made an explanation, which con- vinced the chairman that the bill would not ace om- plish the purpose desired, and he accordingly with- drew it. A second effort to bring forward the bill ‘was defeated by a vote of fifty-six to sixty-two. The Japanese visited the Hsxavp office and va- rious other places yesterday, and were out shop- ping os omal. An account of their visits and vis- ters, a sketch of their hotel life, and further partic- nlars in regard to the grand ball to-morrow even- ‘ing, wil! be found in another column. ‘The Friendly Canadian Society of St. John the Baptist celebrated the eleventh anniversary of their organization last evening atthe Apollo Rooms, Broadway, with an excellent supper and a number of eloquent speeches. Monsieur Franchere, the highly respected President of the Association, oc- coupied the chair, and M. Bachiller, the French @rammarian, acted as secretary. Among the other gentlemen present were the editor of L'Hpoque, M. Pabren, Mr, L. Verges, and a number of others. ‘The proceedings did not begin antil long after ten O'clock, and in consequence did not terminate until ® very late hour, Our report is therefore unavoid- @bly deferred. ¢ Police Commissioners yesterday removed from the force Isaac Messerole, keeper of the Hlouse of Detention, and transferred the late Pro- erty Clerk (Mr, Warren) to fill the vacancy. No Other business of importance transpired. Bight licenses were granted yesterday by the Excise Commissioners. For one to A. J. Stetson, of the Astor House, fifty dollars was charged, and for the remaining seven thirty dollars each. The Board adjourned till Monday next, when they will hold their thirty-sixth session. ‘The steamship Arago sailed from this port yes- ferday for Southampton and Havre, with 219 pas. sengers and $313,410 in specie. The Vigo also sailed yesterday for Liverpool, with 19) passengers and $597,837 in specie. ° ‘The cotton market continued dull, and sales were limit ed to some 200 a 300 bales at unchanged prives, We still quote middling uplands at about 10%c. a 107%{c. There was hardly enough doing, however, to give «lair basis for quotations, and the week through has been among the dullest of the season. Both buyers and sellers seemed disposed to hold off for later foreign advices. Should the weather now become more favorable to the crops in Eug. land, with less apprehensions of political disturbances growing out of ItuJlian affairs, it is supposed that some reaction will be realized, The China war, even if protracted, by being confined to only: a portion of the const, is not expected to produce any serious disturbance in the trade, Flour was firm yesterday, and in good demand, but less active, Wheat was in good request, but somewhat less buoyant for the common grades; the sales embraced pareels for both milling and export. Corn was better, with @ good demand and tole- rably free sales, Pork was firmer, with sales of new mess at $18 37 a $18 50, and of new prime at $13 6254. Sugars were steady, with sales of 1,200 hhds. at steady prices. Coffee was firm, with limited sales of Rio and Laguayra, Freight engagements were steady; among the shipments to Liverpool were 95,000 bushols wheat, in bulk, at 734d. and 2,000 bbis. flour at 1s. 9d. a Ls. 10%4d., with some lots reported at 25., and 2,000 boxes cheese, by steamer, at 50¢.; and to London, 3,000 bbis. flour at 2s. Od. The Baltimore Rump Convention—The Nomination of Douglas—The Prospect. The nomination of Mr. Douglas yesterday by the Northern rump of the Baltimore Convention created no surprise in this quarter, for the event had been regarded as a foregone conclusion, with the secession of the Southern States. There is nothing, however, very consoling to the friends of the “Little Giant” in the circumstances at- tending this nomination. The whole clectoral vote of this rump Convention voting for a Presi- dential candidate was— 192 oe the*whole electoral vote of the Union, which is. 303 Our reports of the proceedings, ending in these results, will give the reader the small fractions of the Southern vote frateryizing for Douglas, and the several detachments of Northern dele- gates who operated against him. Substantially, Mr. Douglas is confined as a Presidential candi- date to the Northern States; for doubtless the Seceders’ Convention will put up a ticket on their Southern rights platform which will carry all the Southern States that are not carried by the Bell and Everett ticket. This ticket has now a very good prospect of carrying, not only Maryland, but Delaware, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken- tucky, and even Old Virginia, which, thus fur, has never failed as the Southern bulwark of the democracy. It is the general impression that the Seceders’ Convention will nominate some such ticket as Caleb Cushing and Jefferson Davis. This, or any other respectable ticket, upon the platform embodied in the late resolutions of the United States Senate on the slavery question, will com- mand the bulk of the democratic popular vote of the Southern States, and a sufficient vote, perhaps, in every otherwise doubtful Northern of Van Buren in 1848—without a solitary electo- ral vote to compensate him for all his troubles. On the other hand, in the border slave States, where a portion of the democracy are pretty strongly tinctured with that sort of free soilism known as squatter sovereignty, Douglas will take away from the Southern democratic ticket votes enough, beyond a doubt, to give those States to John Bell. And so, if the elec- tion be thrown into the House, Mr. Douglas will not be the third highest candidate, but Bell will be the man. But with the election carried into the House, the “irrepressible conflict” thero will unques- tionably continue from February, when the question will come up, till the 4th of March, when the session expires. In that event the power of the House over the subject expires, and the man from the two highest candidates from the people, who may be elected Vice Presi- dent by the Senate, will become the President of the United States. It follows, then, that if this Presidential contest be thrown into Con- gress, the House will fail to make an election in the brief interval to the 4th of March, and that the Southern or anti-Douglas democratic candi- date for Vice President will, in all probability, become the President. In any event, therefore, Mr. Douglas has be- come a negative quantity in this election. He may operate to carry the contest into the House; but there he will have only one vote, that of Illinois, resulting from his present ma- jority of five to four in that delegation. The election, then, will go to the Senate, unless the republicans should strike a bargain with the Southern opposition—a thing which it will be very difficult to bring about; and once in the Senate, the result will be as we have described it, unless Edward Everett should come forward as the second highest Vice Presi- dential candidate, But to carry the election into the House thirty-one votes of the Northern States must be taken away from the republican ticket. New York will do, or Pennsylvania and New Jersey; but how are these to be carried against the re- publicans? They can only be taken from them by a joint stock electoral ticket of the parties opposed to Lincoln. The prospect, however, for any such joint stoek combination is dim and dubious. The shortest way to a rational con- clusion is from the assumption that, under the circumstances, the elements of opposition to the republicans will be frittered away. Lincoln will thus be our next President by a majority of the electoral votes. We have no regrets, meantime, to express over the broken down democracy. We con- gratulate the American people that this corrupt and demoralized party of juggling and swin- dling spoilemen, with political vagabonds and vagrants as its managers, has at last been broken to from their quarrels over the spoils. For the last twenty-five years we have been laboring for a sweeping’ re- volution in our political parties. We hailed the beginning of this revolution in the downfall and dispersion of the old whig party. in 1862; we accepted the dissolition of the senseless mushroom Know Nothing party as another in- stalment of this revolution; and now, with the disruption of the demoralized democracy, we have only the sectional republican party to dis- pose of, in order to havea clear field for a new order of things. The defeat or the election of Lincoln will be the beginning of the end of this republican party. Assuming that Lincoln will be elected, we know, from the experiments of the last twen- ty years in President making, that he will break down his party from his inability to make one office do for ten applicants, Before six months of his administration shall have passed by, he | State, to leave Mr. Douglas in the exact position * NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 24, will be reduced to the condition of poor Pierce, and in the next succeeding election his party will be ewept away. Then these scandalous party Conventions will cease to divide and wrangle over the spoils and plunder, for the blows which these corrupt assemblages have received at Chicago and at Baltimore will be the death of the whole system, o Tur SappaTH Comrree AND THE SuNnDAY Qvestion.—The Sabbath Committee appear to be spending a great deal of money on the publi- cation of documents setting forth their exclusive and puritanical notions upon the Sunday ques- tion. They have been deluging the city with pamphlets, which they have recently compiled in a volume for general circulation. These documents present a fair share of all that has been said for and against their idea of the due observance of the Sabbath—the arguments in favor of the Committee's views possessing in quantity what perhaps ‘an impartial critic would decree the arguments against them contain in quality, in Christian charity, and in common sense, The Sabbath Committee lay great stress upon’ the running of railroad trains on Sunday as sub- versive of morals. They appear to have a strong objection to permit the humble and poorer classes of the community to escape from the temptations of the metropolis—the crowd, the heat, the agony of confinement within a Bastile of brick and mortar upon that day which the Creator himself set apart forest and recrea- tion. They are willing enough to afford the rich, who can select their own time for pleasure, to enjoy the luxury ofa cushioned pew in church, and the pleasurable excitement of listening to a sensation prescher; but they would debar the poor from the enjoyment of nature, as she offers it to them in the green fields, the shady wosds, and the cool breezes of the country. The first principle of Christian charity is to befriend the poor. The very essence and spirit of the Christian religion is to extend blessings and comfort to those who are denied a share in the material prosperity of the world. The social condition of thousands in this metropolis prevents them from participating in any outdoor enjoyment upon any day but Sunday. The loss of a day’s work in the week is almost equivalent to a day's absolute want or starvation to many families. Yet the Sabba- tarians would impose upon this class the alter- native of no rational enjoyment at all, or enjoy- ment ata sacrifice which they cannot afford to make. To cut off the opportunity of sharing the bountiful gifts of nature, which the open country offers to the harassed mechanic anid his family, is to reduce them to the baser plea- sures of the drinking cup, the gaming table and the haunts of vice. Human nature demands variety and recreation—human nature as repre- sented by the toiler and worker with hand and brain, and human nature as represented by the Sybarite and sensualist, alike. Fifth avenue nature demands them asa relief from ennui, and the humbler avenues and streets as a means of recuperation for energies exhausted in the great battle of life—the struggle with present necessity and prospective want. In all the Christian countries in the world excursions into the country, by railroads and otherwise, are more frequent on Sunday than on any other day. And why? Because Christian civilization, where uninfluenced by the narrow spirit of Puri- tanism and hypocrisy, recognises among its first duties and most brilliant evidences the ministra- tion of comfort and enjoyment to the poor—the elevation of the humbler classes above the gro- velling pleasures of vice, which are alone within their reach in a crowded city. Give the people an opportunity to get into the country on Sun- day by every cheap and available means, and the baser excitements of the grogshop and the lager bier saloon will soon be abandoned. We perceive that the Grand Jury, acting in the spirit of the Sabbath Committee, have pre- sented the Liquor Dealers’ Association, under the Revised Statutes, for conspiring to commit an act injurious to public health, public morals, and so forth. This is mere folly, The Grand Jury might, with as much reason, and perhaps more justice, present the Sabbath Committee for conspiring to establish a religious oligarchy. Nothing can result from such action on the part of the Grand Jury but to lessen the efficacy of that body in correcting evils and suppressing crimes which militate fearfully against the morals and peace of the community. Foren Arrrectation oF AMERICAN ART.— It is gratifying to find that our school of land- scape painting—which we have always con- tended had s marked individuality—is begin- ning to be properly appreciated abroad. The knowledge that foreign connoisseurs of American works was extremely limited until the success that attended the @hibition of Church’s “Heart of the Andes,” in London, at- tracted general attention to their merits, and induced other artists to send pictures there. ‘The part taken by the English press in encou- raging this movement is exceedingly creditable to their candor and discrimination. One of the warmest, but at the same time justest, criticisms of Mr. Church’s great work was that which ap- peared in the London Times. It recognized the distinctive superiority of our landscape paint- ers over those of the English and continental schools in those features which contribute most to the formation of a true and natural style, and it at the same time admitted the great advance they had made in technical excellence. In ® recent criticism on Mr. Cropsey's large landscape, “Autumn on the Hud- son,” we find the London Athenarun re-echoing these opinions in more qualified but scarcely less flattering terms. After stating that the scenery is so vigorously rendered that English artists who are timid about painting up to the tint of nature, even in these pre-Raphael- ite days, might well take a hint from Mr. Crop- sey’s practice, it pays American art this hand- some tribute:—“It is a fine and promising sign of the healthiness of a young school like that of the United States, that while it cannot be de- nied that painters are a little coarse in dealing with color, they persistently alm at rendcring Nature herself im a manly, straightforward way, and have completely ignored the ridiculous whims of the old masters of landscape art— men who may be said to have been afraid of their own color boxes.” This ix forcibly expressed; but the English critic might have added to the effect of the com- everything else, the American gressive, and refuses to be trammelled by tems ond precedents. It is this of character whieh has given us political 1860. commercial greatness, and it will win for us pre- eminence in art if our sculptors and painters only continue to follow the bent of their natu- ral genius and refrain from imitation. A Monat War Axovt “Tommy.” —Great oaks, they say, from little acorns grow, and we are all aware that the most serious political and secial complications arise from sources of apparent in- significance. Of such character is the war now going on between the hypocrites of the daily press as to the amorous adventures of the enfant gate of the Japanese Embaagy, redoubtable “Tommy.” He is made journalistic Mawworms the text whereon to hang certain homilies of a character which would have de- lighted the heart of Tartuffe himself. The young and volatile Japanese boy is pushed for- ward asa blind behind which the “unco gude” journals intend to fight out their relative claims to sanctimoniousness. It is a very pretty quar- rel as it stands. Tet us see how it comes out. _————= Failure of the Post Office Dofi-. ciency Bill. Prospect of an Zixtra Session of Congress. VETO OF THE HOMESTEAD BILL. The Veto Sustained by the Senate. THE PACIFIC MAIL SERVICE, e., de. ae. Our Special Washington Despatch. Wasurvaton, June 23, 1860. DEFRAT OF THE POST OFFICR DEFICIENCY BILL. ‘The Pest Office Deficiency bill has failed in the Senate. ‘To-night that body reconsidered the vote whereby it ro- stored the mail service last night. The next question be- ing upon concurring with the House on the same amend- ment, the Senate non-concurred, and the bill is defeated. ‘The Deficiency bill contains about thirteen millions of money, and contains 80 many important provisions that it is believed the President will reassemble Congress to consider it. ‘THR VETO OF THE HOMESTEAD BILL. ‘The veto of the Homestead bill to-day surprised every one, inasmuch as the bill is substantially the one originat- ed in the Senate by Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, who re- plied to the President's opjections in severe terms. ‘THE CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL, The Civil Appropriation bill, containing the amendment making Capt, Meigs Superintendent of the water works, will not be vetoed, but, it is said, the President will sign the bill and return it with his protest against the right of the House to take a subordinate officer out of the ranks of the army anc piace him out of reach of his commander- in-chief, in violation of the regulations of the army. Rua- mor says the President will cause Meigs to be ordered on military duty, and the Secretary of War will proceed as ‘before to complete the water works in defiance of the act of Congress, which is believed to be unconstitutional. ‘THR PRINTING BUREAU. ‘The bill to create a printing establishment has been signed by the President, but it is said he will remove Mr. Hart, the present Superiatendent of Public Printing, who is designated as one of the parties to purchase a building and material, fearing that Mr. Hart would give the preference in the purchase to Mr. Wendell. The only answer tothis is that Mr. Wendell does notat present own any estabfishment here. The property formerly owned by Wendell is in possession of Messrs. Larcombe & English. Besides, Mr. Hart cannot make any purchase without the sanction of the printing committees of the wo houses, ‘ THE POST ROUTE BILL. It t generally conceded that the Post Route bill, which i loaded down with jobs, will never be allowed to pass in ita present form, and there will not be time on Monday to modify it. THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wasmcton, June 23, 1960. Several private biHs were passed. ‘VETO OF THE HOMESTRAD BILL. ‘A message from the President vetoing the Homestead ‘bill was received and read at length. After reviewing the general provisions of the bill as passed, the President @ays that the smail eum asked for lands per acre, twenty- Gve cents, and credit for five years, equal almost toa do- nation, and he therefore contends that Congress has no power to give away the public lands to States or indivi- duals, This opinion he expressed in the veto of the Agri- cultural College bill, and the it he used there ap- plied with greater force to this case. There was more of consideration in the former case, but owing to the late hour of the session he will not review those views. It must be admitted, as a general proposition, that Congress does not possess the power to donate money to States or individuals, and this would be the case in giving away the means of the public revenue. The advocates of this bill supported tt under that clause of the constitution which says that Congress shall have power to dispose of the public lands; but he did mot read those words to mean giving away.
