AtTKRNOON SESSION.
The Convention was again called to'
order it I o'clock. Tho lion David R
1 Porter, cx-Govornor of Pennsylvania,
here entered the hall, and being eonduct
i< d to the stand, was welcomed with
warm applause; and being loudly called
for, arose and thanked the convention
for the honor done him. He did not j
expect to be thus called on, having only,
, being in our midst, been desirous of be
holding the delegated representatives of j
the democracy of Maryland legislating !
in this manner. He had, ho said, long
been a democratic laborer, but had re
tired from political lito; though at the
i call of the democracy of his State he had
' consented to serve them in the Cincin
nati National Convention, at. tho close of
which ho should again retire to the
| ranks, tjiere only to be found in the
future.
Kx-< iov. T,owe being :d: o loudly called
for, said that it was th- first opportunity
that had been afforded hint of expressing
to the State, through her convention, his
gratitude fur tho favor shown him in
times past. He pledged himself, with
a view to prove his appreciation of their
kindness and to acknowledge the obliga
tions lie was under to the democratic
party, by his efforts in tho future in ad
vocacy of a cause not only of a party,
but the welfare of the nation, through
the democratic party—the sheet anchor
of the natiou’s safety—the nation’s great
ness.
Messrs. Francis Gallagher, George
W. Belt, Daniel C. Diggs and James
M. Raymond also addressed the conven
tion. The three last named gentlemen
announced that, they hail in past years
been identified with the old whig party,
but were now prepared to do battle to
the utmost of their powers for the per
petuation and success of the democracy
—regarding that as tho only truly na
tional party now extant.
The committe on resolutions Imre re
turned to the convention, and through
their chairman, ITon. IF. T. Hamilton,
reported the following as a majority re
port :
Resolved, That we cordially approve
of the administration of Franklin Fierce, ,
both in its foreign and domestic policy: I
and that for his faithful maintenance of!
law, his strict adherence to the true
principles of the counstitution, his man
ly devotion to the just and equal rights
of all sections of the Union, and his ]
stern, uncompromising and defiant hos
tility to Black Republicans, Abolitionists
and Know-nothings, combined or sepa
rated, lie is entitled to the gratitude of
the great party that elevated him to
power, and justly merits the approbation
of all his patriotic countrymen.
Rewired, That in the pending Ptes
idential election the people of Maryland
are to approve or condemn, first, secret j
oath-bound political societies having for I
their objects the supreme control of our j
Government, and the proscription of our
follow-men because of their religion and i
of their birth-place; second, the prinoi- j
pick of the Kansas-Ncbraskabill and the ;
adjustment measures of 1850; and third,
indirectly the treasonable objects of black
republicanism and abolitionism; and
being tho important isms directly and
immediately presented to our people, wc
hold it to he tho highest duty of every
patriotio citizen of our beloved Btnto, of
whatever party, to unite with the Demo
cratic Republican party in tho support
of the nominees of tho Cincinnati Con
vention, whose mission it now clearly i
to strike down Know-nothineism, Black
Republicanism and Abolitionism, and
firmly establish tho principles of the
Kansas-Nehraska bill, thus vindicating !
the great right of the pooplo to regulate !
their own domestic institutions, subordi
nate only to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, ana rescuing our country
from the perils in which it is involved
by fanaticism and political venality.
Resolved, That it is a matter of sin
cere congratulation to thefriendsof civil
and religious liberty that the “sober
second thought” of tho people is now de
livering tho country from the grasp of
irresponsible, secret oath-bound political
societies, and our fellow-men from the
persecution and proscription of a fell fa
naticism, an arrogant pride, and an aris
i toeratic elasßism, and that from tho nus- j
picioiLs indications around us everywhere 1
; we soon again can hail the supremacy of
l law, the security of property, the confi
dence of order, the safety and stability
of the Union and the just rights of all
| protected civil, political and religious,
j Rcsolieil, That the representation of
the Democratic Republican party of tho
State of Maryland in convention assem
bled, relying upon the wisdom and p -
; triotism of the delegates representing the
- Democratic party of the Union iu tlic
j National Convention, that they willprc
! sent candidates for President and Vice
President in every respect fit and worthy
for the high positions, and define the itn
portent issues of the day—we pledge
ourselves and the party we represent to
the faithful support of tho nominees of
that convention.
Resolred, That we cordially approve
; of the administration ofGovernor Ligun;
l and that the thanks of the Democracy
an I other conservative citizens of Mary
land arc eminently due to him for his
manly, independent and able exposition
of tho dangerous tendency and corrupt
influence of secret political societies.
JohnS. Wright, Esq., of Baltimore
city, from the minority of the committee ,
submitted tho following amendment:
R(.Jrrd, That whilst wo conceive it!
to be due to each of the distinguished
gentlemen whose merits and claims are
being canvassed throughout the country
for the honor of a nomination at Oinriu
nati fur the Presidency to declare our [
, implicit faith in their integrity, capacity !
and sound republican conservativeness. 1
and, in advance of the action of said con-'
i volition to signify our willingness to
j cheerfully support its nominee, if lie!
, hold—of which we cannot entertain n '
i doubt—the opinions we have proclaimed
ius our GWuj We nevertheless, following
tho example nf our sister States, and rc
! spoil hive to (he will of the people of Ma
ryland as we understand it. deem it emi
i nenriy proper to announce that the hi*-
i lory of the long, useful and patriotic life
lof James ltuchnuan, of Pennsylvania,
furnishes the most reliable guaranty that
in the present emergency of our country
ho is, in nil the oualities of a statesman. 1
fitted for the highest executive office, and
we avail ourselves of this occasion to
make this opinion known to the pieople .
of the Union. As citizen, legislator,'
National and State; as highest cabinet
I officer and representative of the honor
and interests of our country abroad, his
: career has been mark' d, at every step,
j by sound sense, caution and statesmanlike
j wisdom. Ija it tho people of Maryland j
discover tho hope and security of the
■ future. Under the guide of one so dis
creet and so experienced, it cannot be!
doubtful, with any, that whilst domestic !
peace and prosperity would he secured at.
homo, every interest of our nation, and
its honor, would be sedulously cared for
j abroad. Disclaiming all dictation >ve
most cordially commend his great service-*
and rare i|tiiililicutious to the convention. J
John T. B. Dorsey. Ksq.. of Howard*
county, offered the following as a substi-l
tute for the whole:
Resolved, That it is not the duty of
this convention to declare a preference for
the nomination of any particular individ
ual; nor do we deem such a course expe
dient, and we therefore only pledge our
selves to the firm support of the nominee
'of the Cincinnati convention.
The chair announced the question to be
first upon the substitute offered by Mr.
1 Dorsey. A debate here ensued upon the
several reports submitted, which was
I participated in by Messrs. Hamilton and
It. 0. Ilollyday in advocacy of the ma
jority report, and by Messrs. John S.
i Wright, E. Louis Lowe and Col. Thos.
McKaig in advocacy of the amendment |
i of Mr. Wright, and by Col. George j
j Hughes and Mr. Dorsey in favor of the |
substitute-of the latter named gentleman. ;
i Pending tho discussion a motion to
adjourn was determined iu the'negative j
—yeas 28, nays 78.
A vote was then taken upon the sub- j
I stitute of Mr. Dorsey, and it was rejected
by the following voto: Yeas 10, nays
80.
The vote upon the amendment of Mr. I
Wright was then taken, when it was j
adopted—yeas 51, nays 41.
Tho resolutions of the majority of the j
! committee as amended were then adopt- !
i ed by a vote of yeas 81 ; nays 9.
A vote of thanks to the officers of the |
1 convention and the committee on tho part
of the city who provided the meeting
room was unanimously adopted.
Ex-Governor Lowe offered the follow
ing resolution:
Resolred, That this convention hereby
recommend to tlic Democracy of the State
that hereafter the delegates at largo to
national conventions ho elected by State j
! conventions, and not by a caucus of the
I Legislature, as heretofore.
A motion was made to refer itseonsid-!
I oration to the next State Convention I
which was decided in the negative and ,
| the resolution adopted by a decisive vote, i
The convention thou adjourned sine
i die.
j A Tribute to the Purity and Nationality of
the Democratic Party-
W’o copy from the Pennsylvanian, a
letter from Wm. Her (font, Esq. Mr. j
Horgcnt, of Philadelphia, has always
been an ardent mi l efficient supporter of
the Constitution.
PurbAnKM-mA, April ft, 1850.
Br.ut Btu:—T wish to present through
you, my resignation as a member of the
I Committee of Superintendence, to whieh
position you were pleased to appoint me
at the Inst mooting of tho AVliig City
! Convention.
To prevent misunderstanding, I will,
in as few words as possible, sfato the
causes which impel mo to this course,
j At the first meeting of the Convention
throughout its deliberation, to the best
of my feeble power, 1 opposed the nomi
nation of a separate Whig ticket, think
ing that unless a fusion were effected
with the Democrats it would only be
playing into the hands of the Know-no
things, and so contribute to tho contin
uance of tho misrule which now disgraces
this city.
When the Convention, however, by a
large majority. Insisted upon tlic forma
j tinn of the ticket, T remained in it and
i cast my vote for different persons in tho
hope that a portion of those nominations
might bn incorporated with the Demo
cratic ticket. Desirable as sucli a fusion
was, it lias not been effected. The con
test now is essentially between the Dem
ocratic and Ktiow-uothing parties. The
former, whatever may bo its faults, is an
open constitutional party—the latter with
its grips and pass words—its oaths and
soerct meetings, opposed to tho constitu
tion, and the whole spirit of our institu
tions. This being the issue, it has not
cost me a moment’s reflection whieh side
to espouse— I intend to devote myself as
energetically as possible to the success
of the Democracy at the approaching mu
nicipal election, and, lost my position
• upon the flrtmmitteo of Superintendence, !
might appear inconsistent with such a
course, I rcspcetfully resign it.
Very truly, yours,
WM. HKII OK XT.

da. lie has trotted his mile on the Buffalo
I trotting course in 2 minutes 31 X seconds. He
J also trotted on the Hunting Park course, Phi
i ladelphia, against the celebrated trotting horse
! Rhode island, winning the race in 2 minutes
34 seconds—see Turf Register. Young St.
IrtiwrciH’o’s Dam is the celebrated trotting
Mare Indian Queen of the “Commee” breed,
! which trotted her mile on tho Montreal course
;in 2 minutes 37 seconds. Indian Queen is half
sister to Taeony, the fastest trotting horse on
record.
HENRY HURLEY,
JOHN L. DUFIEF.
The annexed certificate will show still
further, that Young St. Lawrence has not on
i ly descended regularly li oin the fastest stock of
trotting horses, but that he has. in an eminent
degree, fieetness of foot himself*:
“This is to certify that I have driven Young
St. Lawiynce 014 the Red House Track, N. Y.,
a mile in 3 inin. 5 sec. I also certify that said
1 Colt was sired by Old St. Lawrence, from Ca
i nada. His dam, Indian Queen, is half sister

! LEAVITT’S LATEST IMPROVED
COM AND COS MILL.
Von 11" America Excelior.
THE attention of the Farmers of
Montgomery County, is asked to
| this greatly improved MILL for Crushing and
1 Grinding Corn and Cob Meal—Horse feed geu
i erallv—and Meal from Shelled Corn.
It is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use of ground
food, because of its more easy and complete
digestion.
It is now well known that working animals
I for the same reason, are kept in good condition
nt less cost, by the use of food so prepared,
j But while these principles of true economy arc
j so generally understood, many have been un
i willing to procure suitable Mills, because of their
j eximisive construction—experience showing
Hint the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
I the public, with the grinding plates cast solid.
; with the two main jiortiofis of the Mill, in
j grinding for the use of an average sized farm
| will wear smooth and become useless in about
j two years ; among such is the “ Little Giant,"
1 “ Granger’s Magic Mill,” etc.
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this ob
jection is entirely obviated, as it is a Permanent
. Mill. The Grinding Plates, (the only parts
that wear out) being two detached lings, cast
I separate from the main and expensive parts of
the Mill, each bolted-on with three small holts,
and when w orn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at a cost of only $3.
We name among tho other advantages this
Mill possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills
in use, that the regulating of the fineness of
griuding is done ly simply turning one central
set screw. The meal instead of being scattered
around as in other mills, is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rearend
j of the sweep as a balance.
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
been introduced it has superseded all others of
the kind.
This mill will grind from 3 to 20 bushels per
hour, according to fineness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE SSO, including an extra set of grind
ing places ; mhking it equal to two ordinary
Mills. They will ic promptly delivered nt any
point on the Railroad or in the District of
1 Columbia, freight from Baltimore added.

WE RESPECTFULLY inform the Farmers
of Montgomery comity that we have the
EXCLUSIVE AGENCY for supplying them
with this invaluable Machine, for 1850, and so
licit their early orders.
In buying MeCORMICK’S REAPING AND
MOWING MACHINE, you make no kxpkhi
ment. Jt has been long in use and well tested.
Tire whole world know s it to be the beet, rnmt
compute working and thoroughly n fUdde Machine
in use.
It irf very substantially made, with heavy
wrought iron fiuger-beam.serrated sickle-edged
Cutter, very seldom requiring to he ground :
the Reel draw- up the p ruin to 1 lie Sickle, laud
ing it admirubh on the platform to tin- Raker*s
hand. I( i- easily adjusted to cut any height
of stubble, from one inch to fourteen, without
moving a bolt. It does its work perfectly and
j equally so, whether the grain Fe heavy or light,
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, and at ang rate
of speed.
111 Mowing, the Reel effectually clears the
finger-beam of grass and other substances; thus
preventing the sickle from choking, leaving the
grass beautifully spread for curing, and requir
ing uo other hand but the driver. Jt cuts a
' swnrth near six feet wide, and at a fair farm
i work gait does the work of Jive cradlcrs and
! motccrs.
111 evidence of the entire satisfaction this ma
chine gives, we state, that of the 2500 machines
made and sold last year, placed into all kinds
of hands, and over the grain growing parts of
the United States, not a single purchaser has
given Mr. McCormick an intimation of a wish
to return his machine.
About eighty of our Montgomery Farmers
(referred to below) own and use them, all of
w hom will cheerfully bear testimony to then*
thorough efficiency in doing tlieir work well
• for their great economy in their use by saving
labor and cleaner saving of grain and grass :

THE GRAND GOLD MEDAL
Was awarded to this Machine• t the Exhibition
OF ALL NATIONS at Paris last year in coin
petition with the other most celebrated Rcujhts.
(among them “Manny’s” and “Atkin’s Self
linker, ) the Committee after many severe
tests, saying: “This Machine did the Work
BEST IN* EVERY TRIAL.”
This Machine had also awarded to it the first
premium, “The Great Uouncil Medal,” at
j the World’s Fair, in London, in 1851.
Farmers will consult their true interests to
I buy only the Machine that has been well and
thoroughly tested— known to Iw good and relia
ble. “Spit-Rakers” can be expected to do su
* tisfaotory work (uly when the conditions of the
gram arc furor ah},, and from their greater com
plication of machinery are much more liable
to get out of order. New machines may he
good, but you have to run too much risk, and
when the harvest edmes on, you have uo time
then to experiment.
y/. ')-PI.EASE ORDER EARLY, to insure
being supplied. We will give due attention to
putting up and seeing under way every ma
chine sold by us.
