News : Imagine our surprise in reading tho News tho oilier day as our eye fell upon this 44 audacious" stalomont? 44 Some of our lumber manufacturers, in stead of attempting to dispose of their lumber at tbo old, worn out markot of Chicago, are turning their attention east ward to tho Albany, Troy and Buffalo markets, particularly for tho salo of tho best varieties of pine, cherry and black walnut lumber. A cargo en route for Albany, by way of tho lake to Buffalo, loft tho wharf of E. L. Fuller last week, and other cargoes aro waiting shipmcut thitherward. This lumber is manufactur ed mostly by who Lansing Company, at Blcndon, in this county, and is as fino a lot as we haro soen for a long time at our shipping docks." J 44 Tho old worn-out market of Chica go,"b! Vho has worn it out? That 44 Lansing Company" havo an undoubted right to ship their nico lumber to tho point whore it will bring them tho most money, and so havo tho rest of you over in Grand Haven, but don't talk about our market being 44 old" and 44 worn-out" just yet. There is land to bo fenced, and houses to bo built still on tho west sido of Lako Michigan ; and tho day is not far distant when wo shall havo the money to pay for tho 44 thing" to do it with. Our crops look promising on tho prairies. Thero is more land under cultivation than ever before. Men havo learned, or aro learning, to work moro and speculate loss, to crcato and produce something, and spend less money for boor and whisky, and moro for schools, and churches, and books, and Ne wj-papors, and tho results will soon bo manifest. Our people gave a monster concert for tho relief of tho sufferers by the great tor nado, in tho western part of this Stato and Iowa, last week, in tho 44 Wigwam." It was a splendid 44 success" in every par ticular, in money and artistic music A large delegation loft tho city, on Thursday night last, for Baltimore, ac companied by tho Great Western Band. What will they do! Tho fact is tho great light of tho Republic have gone out, and amid the scramblo for office tho bartering away of principlo, tho almost universal corruption which abounds, wo turn back to read onco and again of tho early toil, and self deuial, and patriotism of the founders of this government. It seems as if tho teachings of Calhoun, Adams, Jefferson and Webster, ought to bear bolter fruit than division, and strifo, and threats of dissolution. If our statesmen would act more under tho in- fluonco of tho toachings of theso great men, and less undor tho influenco of bad whisky, we should havo better legislation, and steer clear of tho breakers which loom up just a-hoad. Wo havo been led to this train of thought by looking over tho Fourteenth Volume of Benton Abridgements of the Debates of Congress, published by D. Apploton & Co., New York. Wo wish our pcoplo would tako hold of this groat national work and read and circulato it, Griggs & Co. aro tho gener al western agents, and tho volumes com prise, each, sorao V50 pages, which aro furnished for $3 per volume. Tho most solid merit of those volumes is, that they givo to tho Stalosman, the Lawyer, tho Politician, and tho Scholar, a clear and intelligent view of tho politi cal progress of our country. They con tain tho cream of Debates which have been accruing for nearly sovonty years, and which fill moro than 100 volumes, not purchasablo for less than $500. Tho work is thercforo a natioual enterprise, deserving tho cucouragomeut and claim ing tho respect of ovcry iutolligont Auicr ican. It is endorsed by all tho distin guished men of tho country, of whatever party, and is universally rcgardod as tho greatest political text book of tho ago. Tho man to perform the labor ronuirod to condonso and classify theso Debates, was Thomas Hart Bknton. His knowl edge of tuo olitical history of tho coun try was more comprehensive and thor ough tnan that of any other man living. His memory was wonderfully stored; and ho posscssod, in an extraordinary degree, tho rare and statesmanlike faculty of sys tematizing facts. For a longer period than any othor man had served in Con gross, ho had been tho most industrious and the best generally informed man in in that body. Its history was as famil iar to him as his own personal experience. Indeod, ho claimod, with reason, that his history and that of Congress were inex tricably involved. This work, therefore, is a monument to tho memory of Col. Benton, moro lasting, moro honorablo than brass. It will live in tho libraries of tho nation as long as tho language endures. Every man, and most of all, every public man, should havo this work. It is tho best history of tho United States that will ever bo written. It is in fact, tho living, breathing panora ma of tho timos ; showing tho steps by which tho nation has steadily advanced in prosperity and power. Our young men who buy two or throo cigars each day, or who drink a glass or two of 44 Lager," by cutting off those worso than uscloss expenditures would find themselves with tho whcro-withal to buy not only this great work but other similar useful works. But my letter is getting too long, and tho ro&t I will say in my next. l ours, J. 1J. M. "The Rail Maker " A Keen Re- lonT. Mr. Logan, of Illinois, spoaking at tho recent New York Douglas meeting of tho boast of tho LincolnitC9, that thoir caudidato onco mado rails, replied: 44 1 have only this to say in referenco to the makiug tho rails. If Abraham Lincoln mado rails, it is no disgraoo; but if ho has no brains put in his head by God Almighty, tho makiug of rails will not put them thero. ' He would mako a poor President, if ho havo no other than a rail making qualification. Cheers. However, blcphen A. Douglas was also a working man onco himself a cabiuct maker. I havo, then, this proposition to make; that wo nominate Douglas at Bal timore, and lot tho cabinet makor run ngainst tho rail maker; and I predict we will send them both back to thoir origin al employments Lincoln to mako rails, and Douglas to Cabinet making. Pro longed cheers. Didn't split Rails after all. An old citizen of Illinois, a man familiar with all parts of tho Stato, and particularly with that portion of it whero Abo Lin coln is said to havo mauled rails, says that tho wholo thing is gammon, that ho never split a rail in his life : that in thoso days, tho people never thought of such a thing; that they went into tho swamps and cut hoop poles and saplings for fenc ings, and usod them round as nature made them. T.ho old chap that made tho re publicans beliovo that tho rails on his farm were split by Lincoln moro than twenty years ago, mado a good thing out of tho operation. Ten dollars a pair for old de cayod rails is not to bo winked at. Tho owner of that farm is sharp.

IT Tho New York Tribune savs: 44 Mrs. Douglas has becu for a few years over sinco her marriage, in fact one of tho queens of Washington society. Whatever neonle think of the Lfttla fli ant, it is settled by a unanimous volo that Mrs. Douglas is charming. If Bbo wcro a candidate for nomination, no con vcnlion would ignoro her claims. If sho wcro running for President, sho would unite all suffrages, unless somo fanatics went against her on religious grounds: for Mrs. Douglas is an carnost practical, Roman Catholic." 2.iT Tho Sentinel and tho Fret Dem ocrat each havo a 44 pictur" at tho edito rial iicad, purporting to bo a faithiul hko uoss of Mr. Lincoln, tho republican can didate for President.

The convention met shortly aftor 10 o'clock A. M. Tho Thcator was well filled, boxes being occupied by ladies. Mr. Ludlow asked if thero was any in formation boforo tho convention as to the probable tirao tho committee on creden tials would report. . The President said, not at present. Mr. King, of Missouri, roso to a point of privilege and said remarks had boon attributed to him by tho newspapers which ho never uttered. ... . Mr. Hunter, from Miss., had boasted that he had voted to turn Col. Benton out tho U. S. Senate, but that he, King, desired to wear no such laurels; and in reply to attacks mado upon him ho de sired to say that ho nover votod for any President or any Congressman not a dem ocrat. , Mr. Clark, of Miss., said tho langungo attributed to Mr. King had been uttered by his vcncrablo friend, Ool. Huntor. Ho proceeded to denounco Col. Bonton as recreant to tho democratic party, , Mr. Ludlow, of N. Y,, , roso to a point offered, "saying, as thero was no question before tho convention discussion was out of order. Tho President sustainod tho point, and said, gentleman could not speak without unanimous conseut. Crios, go on, and loud crios of no, fol lowed, during which Mr. King mado somo sido remarks to Mr. Clark, who replied iu an excited manner saying, ho was not to bo intimidated by throats. Information being received from tho committoo on credentials that they would not bo ready to report before 6 o'clock it was moved and carried that tho conven tion tako a recess till 5 o'clock. A ' special despatch received from Bal timore says it is now coitain that thero will bo another broak in tho convention on tho admission of Douglas delegates from Louisiana. Tho following aro said to bo plodgod to go out: 22 from Virginia, 22 from JN. (J., 3 from lonn., 10 from Ponn., undor tho lead of Senator Bigler, 8 from Mass., under the load of Gen. Cushiug, and 10 from N. Y. An altercation occurred early this morn ing between Messrs. Whilcly and Town send, tho former a seceding delegito, tho latter a Douglas contestant, in which Whitcly was worsted after a protty sovoro rough and tumble fight. An an air of honor is siso on tho tapis betwocn two Virginia delegates, and it is said that a hostUb meeting has been agreed upon, and that Mr. Pryor, of Pot- . ... .! 1? . 1 . it 1 tor noionoiy, nas a nanu iu u as mo irionu of ono of tho parlies.

Convention mot at 10 o'clock. This morning, beforo gotting fairly ready for business, the platform diroctly over tho orchostra gavo way, causing frcat consternation amongst tho audience, lany supposed thero was a fight in somo part of tho Theater, others that tho Tho ater was about falling and would bo bur ied in tho ruius. Ono largo sized man clambered thro' tho window and dropped himself to tho ground iu a manner moro expeditious than elegant. Finally quiot was restored when it was proposed and carried that tho convention tako a recess for an hour to admit of repairs to tho staging to bo made. On ro-asscmbling again it was found that another recess would have to bo tak en, to make further repairs, and tho con vention adjourned for one hour. On calling tho convention to order ngain tho President said tho business in order was to hear reports from tho com mittoo on credentials. Tho majority report was mado by Mr. Crum, of Mo. It recapitulated tho pro ceedings at Charleston, so far as tho ad journment and the resolution for filling vacaucics was concorned. Tho committee report in favor of the original delegates from Miss., tho Soulo delegates from La., tho admission of tho original Texas delegates, and of McGoe, Byard and Whitcly from Del., Mr. Cha fer, from Mass., Mr. Fallon, from Missou ri, of half of each delegation from Ga., with half of tho vote of tho Stato for each if cither refuse to lako scats then tho ono remainder shall bo entitled to cast tho full voto of tho Stato. Tho admission of both sets from Ar kansas, the original delegates to bo enti tied to two votes and tho contestants to ono voto, but if cither refuse to tako scats tho other entitled to cast tho full vole of the Stato. Mr. Slovens, of Oregon, on behalf of tlio minority, proscmou a ropon in ivor of tho admission of Mr. Hallolt, of Mass., Iho contestant from Missouri, Bayard and Whitcly from Del., tho original delegates from Ark., tho Florida delegates to tako scats and cast tho voto of thoir Stale in the convonliou The report proccodod to wiy that this was a question affecting the future existence of Iho Democratic party, and arguing against the right of tho con vention to declare seats vacant where States had elected delegates to represent them, even though thoso delegates had withdrawn; that withdrawal was not a resignation. Baltimore, Juno 21. evening: session. Tho convention was called to order at 5 o'clock, having wailed half an hour for New York. Mr. Ludlow, on behalf of that dele gation asked furthor timo for conside ration, mcy woro now in session anu uo begged tho indulgence of tho convention. Mr. Bradford, of Pa., movod a recess till 8 o'clock. Loud cries of no, no. Mr. Randall, of Pa., movod to adjourn. Much confusion, applause and crios of no, no. Mr.Johnson,of Md.,suggcstod that timo would bo savod by taking a voto of all tho other States, and recording Now York when sho was ready. Crios of no, no; put tho motion. Mr. Montgomery, of Pa., on a question of privilego, desired to know whero the delegates hero wcro to got thoir tickets of admission. Ho desired that iho present modo bo changed, tickoU wcro given to others than delegates. Ho could on ly obtain his through a third party, when it was known that ho did not chooso to hold any communication privily with iho chairman of tho delegation. Ho askod that half of tho tickets might bo given to Mr. Cassidy, of Pa., for distribution, and half to tho chairman of tho delega tion. Whilo Mr. Montgomery spoko, Mr. Raudall, of Pa., approached as near him as possible, exclaiming in an excited voice, it is false, its a falsehood. Mr. Montgomery, pointing to Mr. R., said, that old man -loud cries of order, confusion and much excitement. f "Kfnntrrnniftru Lnnninrf 1.1 ia flrvir av- claimod,am I to bo protected against thoso insults; fifty delegates roso to thoir seats and pressed forward. Ono, of Mr. Ran dall's sons gesticulated violently in dumb show and struggled to approach Mr. Montgomery, who remained standing on tho bench. After several attempts to restoro order, Mr. Dawson roso and said, Mr. President if you will givo me tho floor I will get order. The noise then partially ceased, whon Mr. Dawson said ho should uso every pos sible effort to distribute) tickets to mem bers. Mr. Montgomery's tickets had boon applied for by a boy, and ho had not chosen to givo it to any but a delcgato himselfa voice thats right ho thcre foro pronounced tho insinuations of Mr. Montgomery as uncalled for and untrue in every particular. (Applauso aud con fusion.) Mr. Montgomery roso in an excited manner, but his voice was drowned in up roar. (Cries of order.) Several persons endeavored to address the chair. All tho Pennsylvania delega tion and half of tho convonlion were on thoir foot endeavoring to crowd around Mr. Montgomery, whcv exclaimed in a loud voice: 44 Ho lies! It is a baso lie! and tho man who uttors it is a lying scoundrel l" Intonso excitement ensued and con tinued somo time unlil at last order was restored, and a volo taken by States on a motion to adjourn which was carried and tho convention adjourned till- to-mor row, at 10 o clock. As soon as the adjournment look place Mr. Dawson left tho Hall in company with friends, Mr. Montgomery remaining bo- hind. Mr. Randall also left tho Hall accom paniod by his son Robert. They proceed ed down uay sireot to mo corner oi lay ette, and were talking thero when Mr. Montgomery approached, accompanied by a friend. Immediately Mr. Robert Ran dall saw him ; ho loft his father and con fronting Mr. Monlgoraory struck him a powerful blow between tho eves, stagger ing him back and covering his faco with blood from tho noso. Air. Montgomery rccovorod himself and 6truck Mr. Robert Randall on tho ear, knocking him down, and was about to kick him whon a crowd surrounded and separated llioru. Young Randolph was not hurt and proccodod up tho stieet with his lather, who displayod much oxcitomcnt, and Montgomery wont into a house to wash tho blood from his faco. Montgomery is a largo and heavy man, and Randall is small and light built. Somo persons persist that Montgomery drew a pistol, but this is not confirmed by any eye-witnoss. Tho collision causod much excitement in tho streets, which woro at tho timo crowded. Goorgo Mclloury, of Pa., is tho bearer of a postal mossago, to Mr. Moulgomery, from Hon. Samuel Randall, another son and ex-sonator. Mr. Montgomery has been defeated in a slrugglo for nomination to Congress. During tho confusion in the convention, after Mr. Montgomery's remark to Mr. Randall, Gcorgo McIIenry, of Pa., at tho instance of Robt. Raudall, went over to Mr. Montgomery's scat and said : 44 1 havo a mossago for you. Mr. Randall desires to know if tho remarks just made were iutendod to apply to hii father or Mr. Dawson." Mr. Montgomery rcpliod, loll Mr. Randall to go to hclL Mr. McIIenrv said. 44 1 convevod tho mcssago presuming you wcro a geutlo man, but now discover you are not. aud denounce you as a low, vulgar follow, not wortny or notice If 1 had known you wcro a blackguard I should not havo con voyed the message." Mr. Montgomery madono rcnlv. This led to tho assault. At tho ficht Mr. Bovan. of Texas. camoup immediately after blows had boon struck and drawing a revolver from his pocket offered it to young Randall. Tho paruos, nowever, did not got togothor again. The Now York dclecalion have resolv ed to sustain tho majority report of tho committoo on credentials. Baltimohe, Juno 22. Convention assembled at 10 o'clock. Tho reading of yesterday's proceedings was dispensed with. Tho chair slatod that tho main ques tion had been ordcrod. Tho secretary then read tho motions in thoir order. Tho chair stated that tho question would first bo taken on the report of Mr. Uillings, of Maryland, adopting tho wholo majority report excepting tho case of Alabama, and admitting from that Stato tho origi nal Charleston delegation. Mr. Giltings asked consont to with draw tho first part of tho report, so as to leave before the committee as his report only tho resolution admitting tho Yancey delegates from Alabama. Mr. Wright, of Maiisachusolts, raisod a point of order that no motion had ever been mado to adopt Mr. Hitting s rcjort as in amendment. Tho President decided tho point of or der not well taken. Mr. Wright, of Massachusetts, objected to tho withdrawal of the first part of Mr. Gitling's roport. Mr. Giltings then asked consont to withdraw tho wholo report, which was granted thus: by bringing his minority report propor first in order. Mr. Crum, of Mo., on behalf of tho majority of tho commiltco asked leave to fill a record of tho reason for this conclu sion with tho report. Mr. Wright objected. Mr. Crum said, if permitted to fill this stalomont ho would waivo tho right to speak in conclusion of tho debate Mr. Wright, of Mass., still objected, and when tho gont from Missouri com menced his speech ho should raise a poiut of order that thero was uo debate in tho reports of yoslerday and therefore there could bo no right of reply. Mr. Clark, of Md., called attention to tho remarks of Mossrs. Phillips, of Penn., and Stevens, of Oregon, yostorday,which certainly made a debate on tho reports. Tho President decided that tho debato had takon placo and gave tho floor to Mr. Crum. Mr. Crum thon mado a statement showing his reasons for tho conclusion of tho majority of tho committoo on creden tials. He arguod that tho secession del egates did create vacancies ami troublo. Tuo resolutions passed tho Charleston convention regaruod such as vacancies, and called on tho Stales to fill them. Tho minority of tho committco, whilo do nying that vacancies existed, prepared to render their nrgumcnts effectivoby filling tho several vacancies. Tho Statos them selves had regarded such as vacancies by ro-appointing aud re-electing delegates to Baltimore. Tho credentials of tho Miss issippi delegates bear on their faco tho fact that they woro appointed on tho 30lh of May, and many more now delegates. Tho Alabama credentials of tho delegates bear on their faco tho dato of their ap pointment, not to tho convention, but to Richmoud, that they woro appointed on tho 30th of May, and many moro new delegates. Tho Alabama creden tials of tho delegates loar on thoir faco tho dato of thoir appointment, not to this convention, but to the Richmond. Low er down thoy wcro accredited to this con vention. They might as well havo boon appointed also to tho Chicago convention. Tho stateraont also j)roeccdcd to givo similar reasons for tho admission of tho Soulo delegation from Louisiana and ac ceptation of tho delegations from tho oth er Stales. Mr. Brown, of North Carolina, roso to speak but was called to order by a dolo gato from Minnesota, who said thero was no debatcablo question beforo tho conven tion. Tho President rulod debato out of or der. Mr. Stevens, of Oregon, roso to a per sonal explanation. Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, objected, the chair must enforco tho rules of order. Mr. Stevens I appeal to tho gent from Michigan to withdraw his objection. Mr. Stuart, no gent will go further than myself in granting personal favors, but tho business of tho convention has already boon delayed so long that I could uot withdraw my objection. Tho President stated that a call had been mado for a division on tho question as iho motion to strike out aud insert it was inadmissablo. Mr. Cochrane, of New York, hel 1 tlmt
