Li .. -- J Democratic National Conven tion, 1858. To the Democratic Party throughout the Union. Washington, Jan. 1, 1852. A concentration of opinion from all the States, as far as practicable, upon some time and place for holding the next Na tional Democratic Convention, is indis pensable to the union and organization of the party for the presidential canvass for 1852. With this view the Democratic Na tional Committee," consisting of one from each State, appointed by the Democratic National Convention of 1848, 'to promote the democratic cause," and with power to till vacancies, assembled in this city, in pursuance of a well considered call for j that purpose, at which meeting, on the 29th and 30th of December, 1851, and the 1st of January, 1852, the thirty -one States of the Union were represented. And, upon conference with democratic members of Congress, and consulting the action ef State conventions, a far as they have ex pressed any wishes on the subject, the committee, - with entire unanimity, have arrived at a conclusion, which they res pectfully submit for your ratification. The Democratic National Committee accordingly recommended that a Conven tion of the democratic party throughout the Union, by delegates duly appointed by the democrats of the several States, be held in the city of Baltimore on Tuesday, the first day of June, 1852, (at 12, m.,) to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, to be supported by the democratic party at the election on Tuesday, the second day of November, 1852. The National Convention of 1848 adopt ed the following recommendation as to the number of delegates to be chosen in each State : Resolved, That it be recommended that hereafter each State be entitled to as many dele gates in future democratic national conventions as it has in the electoral college, and no more." By order of the Democratic Nation.il Committee: B. F. HALLETT, Chairman. Wm. F. Ritchie, R. H. Stanton, Secretnries. Journal if Proceedings of the Democratic National Committee. In pursuance of a circular call of No vember 1, 1851, addressed by the chair man to each of the members of the Demo cratic National Committee,'' to meet at Washington the 29th day of December, for the purpose of obtaining a concentra tion and unanimity of the view of the democratic party as to the time and place of holding a National Convention to no minate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, according to the usages of the party,' the committee met in the city of Washington at 1 o'clock on said day. Mr Croswell, of New York, read a letter from the chairman, Hpn. B. F. Hallett, of Massachusetts, apprizing the committee of his inability to attend the meeting of to day on account of detention at Philadelphia by sickness and signifying his expectation of being able to be present on Wednesday, and desiring the committee to proceed with their organization. Thereupon, The Hon. Robert Strange, of North Carolina, was called to the chair, and (neither of the Secretaries being present) II. II. Stanton, of Kentucky, was appoint ed secretary On motion of the Hon. W. A. Richard son, of Illinois, it was voted that a com mittee of three be appointed by the Chair to ascertain what States are represented by members in person, or by their sub stitutes, and to recommend what measures shonld be taken to supply vacancies, if anv. Messrs Richardson of Illinois, Penn of Louisiana, and Riddle of Delaware, were appointed that committee. And the committee adjourned. Dkcembeh 30, 1851. The committee again met at 7 o'clock, p. m., and acted upon the report of their committee, from which it appeared that the following delegates and substitutes were present, or in the city : Massachusetts B.

FORNEY. Florida N. P. BEM1S. It also appeared that there were two vacancies by death of the members from Texas and Iowa, and that no members or substitutes appeared for Georgia and Mississippi. California has no member, not having been a State in 1848. For these States the committee reported : Texas V. E. HOWARD. Iowa O. VV JONES. Georgia JOSEPH XV. JACKSON. Mississippi J. D. FREEMAN California E. C. MARSHALL. On motion of Mr Seymour, of Connecti cut, it was voted that the action of the ub-committee be ratified by this meeting, and that the substitutes by said committee reported be considered members of the Democratic National Committee, and that the vacancies be filled in conformity to their report. After taking an informal vote as to the time and place of holding the National Convention, the committee adjourned. Note- The appointment of Mr Free man, of Mississippi, was made to supply the vacancy from that State, which was supposed to exist so far as the committee were advised. After the final adjourn ment, the chairman received notification pf the appointment in writing, in pursuance of his power of substitution, by Mr Duncan, the member for Mississippi, of the Hon. John J. McRhae, of the United States Senate, as his substitute, which appoint ment had not reached Washington season ably for Mr McRhae to take his seat with the committee. Mr Duncan was at New Orleans when he received the circular that had been directed to his residence at Grenada. January 1, 1852. The committee met at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning Hon. B. F. Hallett, of Massachusettss, being present, and tak ing the chair. William F. Ritchie, esq., of Virginia, first secretary of the committee, also appeared Hon. J. S. Barbour having been previously appointed to act for him in his absence The list was called, and it appeared that all the States were re presented in the committee, except South Carolina. The chairman announced the receipt that morning of a letter from Gen. James M. Commander, the member of the committee for South Carolina, regretting that he should be unable to attend the meeting of the National Committee, and authoiizing the chairman to vote for the second Monday in June as the time, and Haltimjbre as the' place, for the assembling of the convention, with the hope that the deliberations of the committee might be harmonious. This completed the representation from all the States. Mr Croswell, of New York, having been obliged to leave the city for his home, Hon- David L.. Seymour was authorized to cast his vote. Hon. Mr Johnson was also empowered by Mr Howard, of Texas, who vas absent on account of sickness, to vote for him Mr Hall, of Missouri, offered the follow ing resolution : Resolved, That this committee recommend Baltimore as the place, and the day of- as the time, for holding the National Democratic Convention. The question being taken on filling the the blanks, all the States but Texas, Louisiana, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and South Carolina, when called, named Tues day, the first day of June ; and, before the votes was declared, it was made unanimous. Mr Hathaway, of Indiana, moved to strike out Baltimore and insert Cincinnati; which was not agreed to. The resolution was then unanimously adopted. The chairman submitted to the committee the form of notice to the democratic party of the recommendation of the National Committee for holding a Nationa1 Con- t vention ; which was adopted, and it was - ordered that the same be signed by the chairman and secretaries, and published in the democratic newspapers of the Union. Mr Freeman, of Mississippi, ottered the following, which was adopted : Resolved. That the entire proceedings of this committee be signed by the chairman and secre taries, and published in the democratic presses of the Union. The committee then adjourned. B. F. HALLETT, Ch'n. Wm.

London, he had the pleasure of seeing specimens of the Chatham Coal, and of enjoying the fires made of it. Mr London, with the true spirit of enterprise, which rejoices to aid in developing the resources of the State, has provided him self with a suitable grate, and warms his parlor altogether with this Coal. The Coal burns freely, emitting a fierce blaze and intense heat. It is of the bituminous species, and so excellent in quality that. when burning, the bitumen seems almost to flow out of it like the turpentine from light-wood. We do not pretend to much Knowledge 01 ioai, oui mere can De no mistake as to the valuable properties of that which we saw, both as regards its ignitable and its heat-giving qualities. We have the confidence that the discovery of this Coal will be a great source of wealth to that section, which we trust will infuse a life-giving influence throughout the whole State. W e are pleased to add, that a part of the Coal we saw burning, was from the Taylor fields the purchase of a company in wnicn some of our most estimable cm zens are interested, iz..

Walker was compliment ed by a public dinner at Manchester on the 9th ult. HUNGARY. The mother and sisters of Kossuth. We read in a letter from Pesth, of the 1st instant, in the Corresponded Blatt: The house occupied by the mother and sisters of Kossuth, opposite the Karory palace, was surrounded in the night, and perquisi tions were made in their apartments. Kossuth's sisters, Mesdames Rutthay and Messelengi, and the tutor of the latter' s children, were afterwards removed to another part of the building. The mother of Kossuth obtained permission to remain in her apartment, but she was placed un der the surveillance ef the police. The tutor was subsequently put in irons." FRANCE. f The French President has rece,vctn letters warning him to be on his guard against assassins, but he pays little, if any, attention to them. His friends con sider that he exposes himself too much. It is impossible to gain any clear knowl edge of the actual state of the French provinces. The government uses every means to suppress all intelligence unfavo rable to the usurpation. A journalist has the following remarks. "Louis Napoleon permits the world to know only iust as much as it suits himself and his creatures to tell. .The French press is extinguished, at least for the pres ent, public meetings are pronounced treasonable; and while lore in 11 journals are prohibited, the correspondents of the London papers are obliged to put up with such intelligence as the police may choose to communicate. If they write more or less their parcels are stopped, and them selves threatened with expulsion." Notwithstanding the precautions which have been used to prevent the transmission of intelligence from the disturbed districts, we have been able to learn the following particulars, which show that r ranee is by no means what the government organs represent her to be "perfectly tranquil." All the country papeis are stopped at the post office, and extracts favorable to the government are selected by a govern ment agent, and sent to the three or foir papers still published in Paris. As far as is known, the following appears to be the result: For the first five days after the news of the revolution reached Lyons there was seiious uneasiness. A strong display of troops prevented an actual outbreak. At Bordeaux a great number of persons had been arrested. At Toulouse an attempt at insurrection was made, out it taiiea. A protest against the coup d'etat,, signal bv about fifty persons, was published, anq those who signed have been arrested. The AHier has been the theatre of fresh troubles. An attempt at riot was made at Moulin, sixteen persons having been arrested "At Agen a troop of 1,600 peasants marched tin the place, but were unable to make any impression, the National Guard having assembled and repulsed them." - In the Var it is said that the insurgents number about 5.000 men. The Alps arc in a state of insurrection, the insurgents numbering about 10.000 men. They are already in the possession of several places of importance. The peo ple of the Alps are a hardy race and should they undertake a guerilla warfare, they would be able to give the government considerable trouble. 1 lie socialists are in a state of insurrec tion in many parts and have got possession of Pert. us, Brignulles, and oilier places The whole of the right bank of the Durance is in a state of revolt. There has been a conflict at Toulouse between the students and the troops Upwards of 30 on each side were killed. Progress of the Usurpation. The Moni- teur of December 9th contains a most decided symptom of an intention on the part of the government to dispense with all laws. Upon the plea that no penal statute of sufficient severity exists to ena ble the government to deal with seditious offences, a decree is promulgated which empowers the Executive to transport for ten years any obnoxious person. The arrested Generals. Among the favorite subjects of gossip are, of course, the recent arrestations of the military leaders. It is profoundly remarked tnat the characters of these individuals were well illustrated by their various behavior when informed that they were prisoners. General Bedeau, whose disposition is stated to be of a wily, scheming, and managing" order, entered into argument and discussion, insisted on considering the matter in a variety of lights, for improvement of his captors minds, and finally arrayed himself en grande tenue in order to avail himself of whatever 11 a" - r nuences nis unuorm should chance to possess with those whom he might meet on his way. Not so General Changarmer. As the officials entered, he snatched up a brace of pistols, and exclaimed, 'e suis arme.,i The chief quietly replied that he saw such was the case, and that he was well aware that General Changarnier by discharging his weapons could kill a couple of those who had come to take him. But he su .... a. a . zested this course would scarcely be at tended with appreciable advantages, inas much as the house was tnteure by soldiers, so that the General's escape would be im possible, and as, moreover, the ultimate result wo'tld assuredly be a prompt tria and a dishonorable execution. These ar gumentshad weight with the hasty but sensible Changarnier, who thereupon laid CA BOOMIAFJ down his pistols and surrendered his person. Not so, again, with the amiable Cavaig nac. The gentler occupation in which he had lately been engaged had probably softened hit heroic spirit, and upon his being aroused from his ltunher and in formed that he was an t,i.l, he placidly remarked, ''Vest juste." and, rubbing his eyes, requested to be apprized whether he might be permitted to dress himself, add ing, in the roost courteous manner, that his toilet would not detain him long. He ine entreated to make his arrangements precisely in the way most agreeable to himself, he rose, went through the toilet duties with the most perfect composure and completeness, and then, presenting himself with a bow to the officer, politely declared himself A vos ordres. It is, I trust, not below the dignity of history" to add that General Cavaignac forthwith adressed a letter to the young lady whom he was so shortly to have es poused, in which he chivalrously declared that he conceived that the event which had occurred had entirely deprived him of any right to consider her bound by engage- Unents made with a free man, and he for mally released her from any such ties' If I mtr ctrtto this I unlet rlaini lujra t r add, for the admiration of all who can appreciate high-mindedness, that the lady promptly and gracefully replied that, so far from considering the event in question as having released her from a tie in which she took so much pride, it had, if possible, rendered her engagement more binding than before. From this little romance let us pass to the very unromantic conduct of Colonel Charras, who being also captured in bed, refused to get up, refused to dress him self, or to allow himself to be dressed swore that, if taken at all, he would be taken en chemise and was, into the bar gain, taken at his word, being bundled up with such bed-clothes as came readies!. and in that unseemly guise thrust into a vehicle and conveyed to prison. General Lamonciere made a determined resistance of a more soldierly kind; but the impres- sion seems to be that the account of it which found its wav into print was much exaggerated, and that no particular harm was done. AUSTRIA. Manv w ho are well-wishers of the Presi dent assert that the coup d'etat was long since arranged between that high function ary and the representatives of the northern powers; although, as a matter of course. the exact moment at which it was to take place was to depend on circumstances. It is deserving of mention that early on the 3d the dajr on which the Paris occur rences became known here the Vienna garrison was suddenly put on the alert by order of the Emperor. The whole of the troops appeared under arms at the appoint ed place within half an hour, and were rewarded for their prompiituJe by three days extra pay. The sole excitement caused by the r rench events is that ot curiosity, and Vienna has never been ibre profoundly quiet than at the present iiOiuent. Mill the military governor has considered it necessary to publish a no tice, in which those possessing or circulat ing revolutionary documents are threaten ed with condign punishment. The papers have also received orders not to make mention of any persons who may be ar- rested. A' Beautiful Passagb. We find in the Home Book of the Picturesque, the following beautiful passage by Washington Irving: And here let me say a word in favor of those vicissitudes of our climate which are too often made the subject of exclusive repining. If they annoy us occasionally by changes from hot to cold, from wet to dry, they give us one of the most beautiful climates in the world. lhey give us the brilliant-sunshines of the south of Europe with the fresh verdure of the north. They float our summer sky with clouds of gor geous tints or fleecy whiteness, and send down cooling showers to refresh the pant ing earth and keep it green. Our seasons are all poetical; the phenomena of our heavens are full of sublimity and beauty. Winter with us has none of its proverbial gloom. It may have its howliug winds, and chilling frosts, and whirling snow storm; but it has also its long interval of cloudless sunshine, when the snow clad earth gives redoubled brightness to the day; when at night the stars beam with intenset lustre, or the moon floods the whole landscape with, her most limpid radiarce, and then the joyous outbreak of our spring, bursting at once into leaf and blossom, redundant with vegetation, and vociferous with life! and the splendors of Our summer its morning voluptous- rness and evening glory its airy palaces of sun-gilt cloud piled up in a deep azure skv: and its gusts of tempests of almost tropical grandeur, when the forked lightn ing and the bellowing thunder volley from the battlements of heaven and shake the sultry atmosphere aud the sublime melan choly of our autumn, magnificent in its decay, withering down the pomp and pride of a woodland country, yet-reflecting back from its yellow forests the golden serenity of the sky, surely we may say that in our climate "the heavens dclare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth forth his handiwork; day unto day uttereih speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. We met with the following in a Chicago paper : VVhat ought the United States do if Spain unjustly condemns Mr Thrash er r hcho answers: I hrash her." This is saying a good deal in a few words. The Directors of the Seaboard and Roanoke Rail Road Company have de termined to re build the bridge over the Roanoke river, recently destroyed by fire, immediately Additional stock amount ing to $100,000 is to be issued. It is ex pected the bridge will be completed in three months. IVUmington Journal. I ine an rrancisco rieraiu, s pea King 01 the subject of slavery in California, says: It may startle those who happen to be rvt - -wti v v t a a n U: ka inrnrin.il . k at , slavery now exists, and has always existed, in California since the adoption of the Constitution. In the mining counties, and even in San Francisco, there are many slaves, and vet there is no manifest usituuiuu mil suuicvi iv umwi - i - j 1 derangement of the public morals in conse- quence, nor do the people generally seem 1 to give themselves much anxiety on the subject. There is no attempt to incite the slaves to run away, and they them selves, catching the healthy tone of public sentiment, never entertain a thought ot such a thing. We know some of them whose earnings amount to as much as the pay of a post captain in the navy, and who can purchase their freedom at any time, but are perfectly content with their pre sent condition. These facts go to prove that it will be difficult, without persever ing agitation, to generate bigotry in the minds of the people of California on the slavery question, or to convert it into an element of discord; and such persevering agitation we hope never to see. C7" Thos U. Walter. Esq.", the Archi tect of the Capitol at Washington, has, in compliance with the request of the Com missioner of Public Buildings, at the instigation of the Secretary of the Interior, made an examination of the burned premi ses, from which it appears that the fire was caused by a defective liue connected with a wood fire in one of the Committee Rooms. A timber entering the wall from the Library, exactly where the fire was first discovered, was found also to enter the flue and was thoroughly charred. There are indications also that the chimney uniting with the ame flue had been on fire. The timbers were too far above the fire-place to be set on fire in any other way than by the burning of the chimney, and such an event could not have occurred at any time without communicating fire to the Library. The alcoves of the Library were formed of timbers filled in with "brick Hogging," The horizontal pieces were let into the walls for the purpose of strengthening the structure, thus a Hording the means of communicating the fire to the vertical scantling, one of which was placed against the wall in each partition. Mr Walter also states that the evidences ol the fire having occurred in this way are too conclusive to admit of a doubt, and are sufficient to remove all censure from those who have chaige of tlfe building. No hu man forethought of vigilance could, und.-r the circumstances, have prevented the catastrophe. Extract from an article in the London Times of Dec. 12 A. 'Beyond the question of lai ill's and finan cial disputes Mr Walker casts a prophetic eye at the great conflict between military absolutism and constitutional government, which every day assumes a more serious aspect, which every day draws nearer to this island, a-nd which will oneway divide the whole world. It is not for nothing that we possess a position giving us be tween the New and the O.d World a stepping-stone from the Old to the New, and an outpost of the New in the Old. It is not for nothing a gigantic State is grow ing up in the New World, inheriting from us the principles ot constitutional freedom, somewhat mollified to its peculiar circum stances. There are no two States in the whole world, and never have been, so bound to one another, so mutually benefi cial, and so able to work together, as the British empire and the United States. At present it seems impossible but that the whole of the continent of Europe should fall into the hands of military despots, it seems equally impossible that we, with our American brethren, should lose our institutions or our enthusiasm for liberty. Here, then, are the two parties in the great cause that threatens to divide and convulse the whole world. W hat will be required of us? What attempts will be made on us? What crusades ought kv spontaneously to undertake? What as sistauce in any case are we to expect from America? For our islands we have no fear. Despotism is great on land, out impotent and craven on the sea Wherever our ships can go, there we h.tve no com peer. As on the former occasion referred to by Mr Walker, we can protect the New World from the tyrannies of the Old. What, then, remains to be done? Are we expected to land on the continent of Europe, and fight single-handed with four huire military monarchies, mustering two or three millions of armed men? What degree of assistance are we to expect from America in marching into the centre of Europe? None, we should think. How ever, there are manv things tt bt consider ed. A hundred years ago what was Rus sia? A hundred years hence what will be the United States? An empire, with not far short of two hundred million soul. Should anything happen to us, should we ever be exposed to unmerited indignity and oppression, and our services to Europe be forgotten, we have only to pray blxor tare aliquis nostris ex ossibus ultor, and that prayer will one day bring across, on accasion, the messengers of a State that can apply to its purpose the resources of a continent and two oceans.. Social Intercourse. VYe should make it a principle to extend the hand ot fel lowship to every man who discharges faithfully his duties, 'and maintains good i order who manifests a deep interest in the welfare of general society whose de portment is upright and whose mind is intelligent, without stopping to ascertain whether he swings a hammer or draws a thread. There is nothing so distant from all natural claim, as the reluctant, the backward sympathy the forced smile the checked conversation the hesitation compliance, the well -of! are too apt to manifest to those a little down, with whom in comparison of intellect and orincioles of virtue, they frequently sink into insig nificance' Daniel Webster.
