A Pictur* of the Staunton Convention.
It may be supposed that at least democratic
papers have not exaggerated the scenes of dis
order, confusion and wrangling that occurred in
this body, ami the boisterous ami violent wav« s
that broke across it—distracting, convulsing, and
rendering it anything but "harmonio is." And,
taking their own account of it, the t ,invention
was a perfect bedlam, “where c.nfusion was
worse confounded,” disorder reigned supreme,
and into which harmonv never fur once entered.
Hy tho way, thin want of harmony is nl>out a*
visible in tho ranks c»F tho faithful now as it was
in tho convoutioti, which is ominous of a most
awful defeat awaiting *rw renr^ntte ticket on tho
election dnv. The following “picture” if from
tho Valley Democrat:
*• The proceeding* reminded u« very much of
the doing* of Tammany Hall, or some rowdr as
semblies. The convention was “confusion worse
ootifounded,” ami
“Al! that tin* ifevfj ttuu J do, o i in ►Inik m <1—
Wm* Imrr l«*i i*•*!*•<•'
In vain the President rapped ami called to or
der, but no power could check the bubbling, buz
ruing and racket!. Kvery man felt enthusiaftic,
and was full of valorous vapouring*, bombastic
exclamation* and thundering execration*. Kvery
now ami hen. ngnscoeti* orator would explode,
which n minded us of the discharge of a pop gun;
and the «cene that followed could h« lik« ned \ery
much t<- u dog tight, or the wooling of ten thou
sand tom-cats in a garret. It was truly n raging
of the < lenient*, and di-cord and di.-sctnumi
reigned triumphant. We hope never to witness
again such scene* in a democratic convention
Speaki rs gave vent to the most hitter and acri
monious feeling, and the ('onvolition shouting
and bhuxaing like a pack of hungry wolvr* iu
juirsu t of their prey
“Ti;p storm howl'd umdlv o*er the si a,
And cloud* their thunder anthems sang,
And billow*, rolling fearfully,
In concert with the whirlwind rang.”

“It is said tlmt the following are decidedly op

dull, those who wi re too busy ut their desks and
counters to think "f in *11 or measures, are now
beginning in the interim from toil to enquire into
the manner in which the various stewardships
have been executed. With few ex eptious, cor

We have no party to baiid up 01' pull down; no
clique to serve or enemy to maim ; no tooling of
hostility to gratify, or petty spleen to vent. Our
impressions are the honest ones taken from the
facts supposed to exist around u*. support°u
sometimes by the general f**eling of others ami
sometimes standing alone ; but, in any i vent, lia
ble to change with every changing fact.
To illustrate : Most people think the adminis
tration wrong in burning (Jreytnwn, whilst we
think it right. It was a simple question of des
troying a hornets west. When the farmer finds
such an institution in his way, and he cannot plow
round it without getting his horse* stung and his
own eyes bunged up, be generally takes u bundle
of straw and sets tire to the whole concern.—
(Ireytow n was a hornets nest, without any King
bee at that, and there was no way of getting
round the plague sport. Tho difficulty is not in !
blowing up ijreytown, bat in not blowing up a j
a few more places. ^ on will not perhaps favor

This explanation is considered to he due to you,
your readers and ourself, and it is to be hoped
will always be borne in mind when matter is

t hie ot the questions which ha** been put in va
rious form* to Austria b\ the other (termini
Mates caballing ngainst h r was whether, in the j
event ot Ku-sia's Iiecepting the lour po.uts, she
would hind herself to abstain from hostilities and :
ewn throw her weight ngainst the Western Pow- j
er*. The t ’ahinet of Vicuna positively refused !
to contract any such engagement, the effect of
which must have been to tie her down to ’hi* sys
tem of neutrality by the mere acceptance ofecr
t tin general proportions by Russia.
I lie tenor of the four propositions contained
in M. Drouvti de Limy’s note of the Hth of Au
t was necessarily indefinite, for, although
they established the leading principles for which
tin V estern Powers are contending, they did
not iti fine the application of those principles.—
That, it. was felt, could only be done by the prac
tical result* of the war. The conditions are
therefore opo;i to great latitude of interpretation
on both sides, and, moreover, it was expressly
provided by Pram •* and England, and by Austria
herself, that they wi-re in no respect to he ta
ken us a bar to any further claims or stipulations
arising out of the progress*.f hostilities. They
contained, in fact, the minimum of concession,
without which no negotiation could !»«• opened,
but they left a wide margin for the circumstan
ces and considerations which could not fail to
arise iti the present agitated condition of the East
of Europe.
In expressing her readiness to accept those
terms as tin* basis of negotiation. Russia gives
no tirm or precise guarantees to the other Pow
ers, tor everything depends on tin* meaning she
consents to ii iti x to these propositions. The
world has not yet forgotten one. mctmnoraldc in- J
stance in tin* course «*t tin* negotiations, in which !
K i>si » aimoimee*! her acceptance of the terms

her own diplomatic agent*, accepted that note in
a sense hardly differing from tin* original de
mands of Piince Meii*ehik.vff himself, ami with
such reservations ami perverted constructions of
it* meaning ns led to its entire rejection by the
very persons who hud framed the documents.
It. then-tore, it he said that Russia is prepar- ^
ed t" accept tl»»* lour p nuts contained in the note 1
ot the Stli i*f August, we may fairly require to
he t dd in el -nr and ucourato lungung» whether
she accepts tin* abrogation of her former trea
ties with t!i • Porte, the establishment of a joint
protectorate in the Principalities instead of her
toruicr separate convention, the bonn JiiL open
ing ot tlie Doimhe, uml the revision of the Con
vention of 1^41, with a view to the limitation of
her maritime power in the Black Sea. 1 he loose

1 not (infrequently wont to hide tin r real rnenning
is only h sercati for equivocation. und cxprcss
lOU* Oil which tile peuee of lliankilld tuay here
ut ter depend cannot be too clear uud peremptory.
I he ui(edged acceptance id these pro|K)»itU*lis
l»y Russia is, of course, not addressed either di
rer tly or indirectly to the \\ extern States, hut
only t*» Auatiia, l»y whom alone they were origi
nally eommunieiited to St Retcrsburg. \\ hat
evei may he the value of such a declaration, it i
impossible to doubt that its principal, if not Us
side object, i* to prolong that stilt*- id neutrality
which lias thus tar secured to Russia all she could
hope to obtain from the (ici'nlftt1 powers, Mini it
possible, to divest that neutrality of the armed
und menacing diameter it bus assumed *ui tin*
side of Austria. Kike tin* evacuation «>l the
principalities, three month* ago, this apparent
concession i-, no doubt mud** !»v Russ,a t*» coun
teract tlm tendency of Court of Vienna, to a
hearer connexion with the Western Rowers; and
it may serve at least to bring the sincerity ot tin*
Austrian (>overniuent to tin* ted.
It is impo-sible that the Cabinet *d Vienna can
ho the dupe ot so palpable a mun.euvie; uud w>
cannot doubt that Count Houl, who ha* hitherto
resisted and defeated an interminable series *d
Russian intrigues, is perfectly aware * f the
amount of confidence to ho placed in tin oveiture
of thi* nntur* . If, therefore, this communica
tion was regurded *»r repioented at Vienna as the
basis o| any tangible negotiations for peace, we
should be led to infer that tin* Austrian Ministers
were, after all, only waiting f»r som** specious
pretext to prolong their neutrality at the expense
of tin* great, interests of Europe. If, on the con
trary, Austria is resolved to persevere in the
course of p diey she has professed to pursue, this
attempt of Russia to entice ami amuse her with
fresh negotiations will only accelerate her d ter
miiiutioii. In i it her case, the decision of Austria
on such u point can in no wav affect thccour.se of
the hilligereiit Rowers.
To those who are deeply and enrue-tlv engaged
in tlii* great struggle there is something pmiile
uud even revolting in the officious attempts of fy
cron':! *d puny’intriguers to swav the headlong
train of human n.T:dra this way *r that at their :
bidding. The questions whHi this war has open- ,
cd or culled into being are ot maj£’,*tthle il*ld gmv- j
ity which these int*• i loper.s cannot ootrijn eheml. ,
for they involve the relative position and power
of tin* three greate-t empires of the world and
tin* future condition of a fourth empire*, which
can neither return to its former state nor remain
in its present one.
We can foresee no prospect of peace until the
fortune of war has decided win-tin rtlie influence
of Russia < r that of England und Era nee i> here
after to preponderate in the affairs of the East
and of Europe. 77uit is a dispute which nego
tiation will not terminate, i -pecially at a moment I
when the contest is raging with tin* utmost earn- !
estuess against the si rough*dd of power ; and the
'fate of th*‘ allii-d armies before Sebastopol is the
