STATE K I .ECTI ( )S.
From the returns received, we are inclines! to believe
that Van Huronism his received 3 signal defeat at the
recent elections in this State. We hive no doubt but
tint there will be a decided majority of auti-Yaa Hu
ron men in the next Legislature. The f dlo; ing ehan
tes from list vear have been ascertained:
The Whigs hive gained 13 members, and lost I.
Tne Vein Kurenites hive gained I, nnd l:t I'.i.
A char gain for the Whites of members.
The represents ;on in Congress stin Is the same as
last yeir, in n'liiiVr, 7 U'h's to 0 Van J$ iren men
though twi)r!nn.'i;.s have been made, on"er, the other
against Van R iren. Dr. Hall (V. B.) his lieen turned
out, and Mr. 1. ttigrue (W.) put in. In the Raleigh
district, Gen. Birringer (W.) has Iwen turned out, and
J)r. Montgomery (V. B.) put in. The l itter change i
truly to be refitted; Gen. Birringer has shown him
self to b- n fiuhrul and independent repreent.it ive of
the people, on, w':o never ould be brought to worship
at the shrine of unholy ambition; henre the unceasing
edorts of the V;tn II iren party to defeat him. They
hive been pernitte.l to aecompu.sti i ie:r o'yect, ami wo

TIIE ADDRESS OF THE BALTIMORE CON
VENTION Occupies neirly ten closely printed colu-nns of the
Globe. As a composition, it has little merit; as an ar
gument it is incoherent and inconclusive. This wordy
document appears intended partly as a defence of the
Convention, and partly as a cajoling' appeal to the preju
dices and prepossessions of the ignorant in favor of the
office-holders' party and their candidates, Van Burcn
i and Johnson.
i In prosecution of the plan regularly and systemati
cally puttied lbr some time, by the Kitchen Cabinet,
to dts-troy the confidence of the pimple in the Seriate, a
base and insidious attack is made on that bdy. The
Senate is the Representative of State Sovereignity, and
the citadel cf the Rights of the States in the Federal
Government; and while this branch remains as it is at
present constituted, we cannot readily become a con
Siili Jul nl nation. By this oinVe-holders Committee
. who harp on their Republicanism to nausea, and profess
the titrongest regard for our in-titutions, it is asserted
that in the organization of the Senate "THE ECiCI-
TABLE PRINCIPLE of REPRESENTATP )N WAS
; DISREGARDED! and calculations are nude to excite
'the hostility and jealousy of the larger States against
! t'te sin iller ones. That it may be seen how audacious,
' how anti-rejntblican and traitorous are the designs of
; the' millions of oliice, we quote the fallowing extract
' entire :
; la its organization, are not the IIoueof Representa-
tiven and the EXECUTIVE alone regarded as the po
I pulir branches of the Government, and immediately re
sf: isible to the People! Hut not so lh' Semtlr. There
' the KQl'ITARLK TKIM IpI.E F Ri:pKfKTATIO'X, founded
ion contribution utid population, ws, as a matter ot coin
i promise, iusitto akddu. In that Branch of the Govern-
merit, eacli State oo the seore of its sovereignty, has j
eiju ll rivals. its legislative jiowers are ro-exi endive
witii the popular branch, with the exception of money
bills! No laws can pass without its concurrence ; the
ni-t important proceedings of the Executive are sul
ject to its revision ; nil important appointments require
its absent. Tiiere is the power to ratify tr alios, and
try all imiachtnents of the high otHcersof the Govern-nr-nU
Executive and Judicial! There the Miiall State
of Delaware, with a imputation of 70 thousand, has a
representation equal to New York, witfi more than two
iiiilhoti! There tour States with a population of more
than five millions, are only entitled to a representation
epical to the four smallest, with a population of less tiian
tour hundriM thousand ! There one half of t ie mt.on,
residing in tour or rive of the largest States, has a re
presentation only equal to about the thirtieth pirt, resi-
id ng in the four smallest States! There one half of
(the wliole American People residing in four or five
j States, are represented by eight or ten votes only,
' whilst the others are represented by thirty-eight or tor
j ty! Would the Convention have been willing, or would
the people ever have consented to give such powers to
!o'V branch of the Government, an 1 that ton constituted
as the Senate is, unless it had ln-n intended to leave
t th others to the immediate action of the popular will,
I an l especially one so important as that of electing the
: President !M.
I
j We request the reader to pause ami inquire what
j means such an attack on the Senate of these United
States, in the address of this Caucus recommending their
cm.
'-"e. tor the Presidency and Vice Presidency!
' 'j ' -r that De ware has as mn'rh influence in tli:
S.-n.it. s New York, coiiii-ft?l with th election of
,' Martin Van B iron? If he be elected, is his influence
to be exerted to amend the ixji n ni.K rRit!i.i: nis
Rff ri:o in the Constitution of the Kenjte! Do the
' neop'e want the re ores-Mi tuion of the Senate changed?
, Is not the influence f Ne.v York already surticiently
'preponderating! Tiese self-styled, fil.-dy sfyled Re-
p iMicans have unwittingly betrayed their cloven fimt:
;th rej iddanlsm on their tongie-s, they are the most
j t!esperate consols' iationis's at heart.

b:red dr fence ef the caucus system. Ha I the Com-

how a New York delegate direct from an Bnren j
then in Washington, was enabled to turn a whole de
legation 44 fresh from the people," in favor of R. M.
Johnson, it would perhaps have been more to the pur-
pose. But the Committee had a tak greater than they
, were eoial to, to defend caucuses in general.
I A reader ignorant of the affairs of this country might
i isntil near the cbseof the address, readily suppose that
', General Jackson was to lie again a candidate, from the
' f ulsome adulation paid him and the frequent recurrence
i to the superlative merits of his adinmistration. But nil
this electioneering on General Jackson's popularity is
' in the last column, adroitly transferred to hi nominee
' .Martin Van Burcn whom the Committee then first in
! ti oduce to us.
BALTIMOllE RIOTS.
j We publish, in another column of today's paper, a
' partial account of the destruction of human life and
I property by riots and mobs which took place in Balti
! more on the lOlli instant. For violence, outrage, and
wantunne.-s, we think that these riots exceed any that
, have ever been periw.-trated in this country. It must
1 produce lamentable reflections in the bosom of every
i pitri: t, en seeing the frequent recurrence of these acts
' of lawless violence, by a part of our population. The
j mobs appear now not as formerly, confined to a few in
; dividuals of degraded morals, the dregs of society, but
S men of influence and standing in society no longer scru-
pie to engage in them, and some times they become lead
ers of these bands of enraged murderers. This has been
the case with the Baltimore riots. Unless something
j shall be done to aid the civil authorities in suppressing
i these fretpient outbreaking of molxtcracy and violence,
j a serious change may soon be etTer ted in the elements
1 of society and in the very nature of our government, if
the former has not already been done.
The cause of these tumulous proceedings seems to
be the bankruptcy of the Maryland Bnk, as the ohi
,ctm who were unfortunately connected with this insti
I tution appear to have been the chief objects of the mob's
vengeance. But the rioters can have no excuse for
their conduct, in taking the matter out of the hands of
j the law, where it was undergoing a legal investigation,

Presidential Movement. A meeting of a portion of
the citizens of Ohi6, opposed to the election of Martin
Van Buren to the Presidency, was held in Columbus
Ohio, recently, at which Resolutions were adopted re
j commending a Convention of the Whigs of that State
I for tlie purpose of forming an Electoral Ticket, and
j adopting such other honorable measures as might be
deemed necessary, to defeat tlie election of the Caucus
Candidate?.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN THE SOUTH.
Under this head, in to-day's Carolinian, the reader
will find some iurwrtant articles on a subject of the
most vital importance to the Slaveholding States. The
Report and lies dutions adopted by the Richmond and
Charleston meetings are couched in terms, and embo
dying a tone of manly firmness and indignation that
should characterize every politician and public press in
the South the sentiments they contain are those of
every patriot and philanthropist who loves and cherish
es the blessings of peaceful liberty.
But we never expect to see a general union and de
cisive course in the public pi ess while the People shall
remain silent. Why is it that the People of North Ca
rolina have not held meetings to express their opinions
upon this exciting subject to warn their northern bre
thren of the dire consequences which will inevitably
result to the Union at large from the incendiary course
of a portion of their population. Are the people of this
State less interested in the agitation of the taibject of
Slavery than the people of Virginia or South Carolina !
Certainly not. There are causes for this apathy among
our people; and we believe they are to be found in the
fact that the public pres throughout the State, until re
cently, have withheld that light from the people which
was necessary to inform them of their perilous condi
tion, mill arouse them to action.
We are pleased to see that our friend of the Char
lotte Journal has taken up this subject, and i handling
it as it deserves.
The following letter of Postmaster-General Kendall
is in answer to one addressed to hiui by the Postmaster
at Charleston, S. C, asking his opinion in regard to
the course that should be taken to arrest the circulation
of the seditious publications which .Have been flooding
into every town in the Southern country. We think
the views of the Postmaster-General are very correct,
and give him praise tor his honesty in avowing them, and
own that we did not look for such a course on his part.

7o the I'ostmast r at Churl stan :
Sir: In you r 1 et t e r of the t h n 1 1., j ust recei veil , you
infirm me tint, by the steam boat mail from New York,
your otlice had been filled with pamphlets and tracts
upon Slavery: that the public mind was highly excited
upon the subject: that you doubted the safety of the
mail itself out of your poMsesioa: that you had deter
mined, as the wisest course, to detain tiiese papers:
and you now a-k instructions from the Department.
Upon a careful examination of the law, I am satis
fed tint the Postmaster General has no legal authority
to exclude newspapers from the mail, nor prohibit their
carriage or delivery on account of their character or :
ten lency, real, or Hippused. 1 robahly, it was not 1

Mr. Blanehard was in U-d in the fourth story; he

not have survived, having been so severely injured by
the fire that his skin came off in the hands of t;ise who
raiseil him from the side walk. He diei soon after

that Miss Potter was an only daughter, and we feel
that any attempt at sympathy with the atHicted fa-
ther, ami the other mourners on this occasion,
would but fall fr short of consolation.
It is stated that five of the bodies were found on
Sunday.
We learn that the lives of the survivors were
preserved through the instrumentality of a young
negro man, the property of Mr. John Dozier, (bro-
ther of the deceased) named Fortune. We trust
that his great exertions, in the exercise of duty and
affection, will not go unrewarded.
