T H K B ALT I MORE DE LEG ATE The Dfmocrats of Virginia, it appears, have l terniied to appiint not le tluo four Dtflegates from each Cp)creciutiat District t tUe Baltimore Convention ; aotl the Dfwocracjj of. other Southern SJatr Sri w.l7e.r-Sglt disregarded tlie iuggesliiiB of the 4f 0 vention and -appointed -inure than one Delegate from a District..' . - So long as it was probable that the other States woultl conform to the aujigestioii of the last National Coovention, we were content to pursue the same course ; but the matter has assumed a different aspect, and we think our friends in North Carolina owe it to themselves and to the cause to claim the same right w hich is being exer cised by their brethren in other States We would therefore respectfully suggest, that the District Conventions to be held, appoint at least four Delegates each to Baltimore. in the last Convention there were five Delegates, we believe, in atten dance from this District, and seven or eijjht from the Ninth District. The rule adopted by the Delegates from this State in the last Convention, was to cast the vote of the State for a candidate without a div ision, the vote of each District being determined by a majority of the Delegates present. This is a good rule, and we hope it may be adhered to in the next Convention. When a State divides her vote in Convention she voluntarily impairs her just weight in the common council, antl fails, as a matter of course, to command the influence to which she is entitled. The Democrats of Virginia have taken a similar view of the matter, aud have recently determined to maintain this rule, so far as they are concerned, of vot ing and acting as a unit in the next Con vention Iialeigk Standard. The Georgia Southern Rights Demo cratic Convention assembled at Millede viile on the 30th ult. aud adjourned on the 5 1 st. after appointing forty delegates to the -Baltimore Convention, and re affirm ing the Baltimore platforms of 1B44 and 1848. The delegates will go instructed, but no preference was expressed for any particular candidate, although it was understood that a large number of the members were in favor of Mr Buchanan as their first choice. Wanted Work. A white man name unknown, was discovered early yesterday morning industriously placing obstructions across the track of the Kail Road not far from town. On examination before Jus tice Miller, he said that he was fond of work, and wanted something to do. and not having any tiling else to occupy Ids attention, he had concluded to enoiiae in the business which had thus ended ip an arrest. From the appearance, actions, and declarations of tiie hard working individual, the Gsmrt end spectatois came tu the couclusion, that he was de mented, clearly so; aud the tribunal shortly broke uu. while, to nrevent ac cidents or a repitition of the offence, the poor fellow, whose industry was thus in adequately rewarded, was seen under escort, to t;ike up his line of march down town in the direction of a public house, built for the accommodation of the unfortunate.- If'il.

A Rich Cash. Some years ago an Irish man was knocked down and robbed, list accused a man of having committed the' robbery; in due time t lie case came u pi for trial. The Irishman being upon, the stand, was cross examined after having swom positively to the guilt of the prison er, by one of the keenest lawyers, ' and something like the following was the result. You say that the prisoner at the bar' was the man who assaulted and robbed yu rv - , . .. -Yes." Was it moonlight when the occurrence took place ? ' Not a bit of it." Was it starlight ? Not a whit ; it was so dark that you could not have seen your hand before you ?" Was there any light shining from any house near by ?', " Not a bit iv a house was there any where about." Well then, if there was no moon, no starlight, no light fiom any house, and so dark that you couldn't see even your hand before yu. how are you able to swear that the prisoner is the man? How did you see him ?" Why your honor, when the pa I pee tl struck me," the fire flew out tv my eyes so bright you might have seen to pick up a pin ; you could, be j ibers." 1 he court, jury, counsel anil spectators J exploded with shouts at this quaint idea. and the prisoner was directly after declar eJ not guilty. A Curious Fact about Winters. The Philadelphia Bulletin mentions, as a curious fact, that whenever the winter is unsually severe on this side of the Atlan tic, the season is uncommonly mild in Kurope. The warmest winter we remem ber was coincident with one in the Old World so severe that it has almost passed into a proicrb. The present season, which has been here so intensely cold, has proved so genial in Paris that apo- j plexy. caused by the high temperature. has become as it were, an epidemic. Cannot some scientific friend furnish a so lution to this r'nl die ? When a Hindoo priest is about to bap tize an infant, he utters thu fallowing beautiful sentiment: "Little babe, thou enterest the world weeping, while all around vou smile, contrive so to live tmt you may depart in smiles, while all around you weep, Remrdt for Grubs, or Bottb m HorScs.
