Never was word better applied than this word .'humbug' is to the Baltimore Conven- ton. Never was the business of sshumbug- ging' carried on more extensively than it was at the meeting of that body. It was gotten up for the purpose of preventing the freedom of the elective franchise, and of sad ding a President on the people, not of their own free choice--but one made to their hand, by the President and his back yard advisers thus making the Convention only the mouth-piece of their will. But the most fn- teresting part of this s'humbug" is the man. ner in which the vote was taken By a re- solztionof the Convention, each State repre- sented was allowed as many votes as she.is entitled to by her electoral college for Presi- dent and Vice President of the United States which made the State of Georgia, that had but three Delegates in the Convention, give eleven votes for the successor to the Presi- dential chair-and Tennessee, which had but one Delegate--a Mir. Edmund Rucber- give yifleen votes fer the successor. This was certainly very Hbcrat on the part of Mir. -Rucker, and no doubt he will receive the thanks of the freemen of Tennessee, for the handsome manner in which he has disposed of their votes, without giving them any trou- ble at all about the matter. But we give be, low an abstract of their proceedings, that our readers may see the manner in which the country has been ''humbugged" in the mat ter.
