The "Baltimore Argus" of this morning publishes the proceedings of the democratic convention of the 3d congressional district. "It will be seen (says the Argus) that Mr. Ligon has been renominated for a seat in Congress by our democratic friends. This must be to Mr. Ligon a matter of pride and gratification, inasmuch as it conveys to him the assurance that, in consideration of the past, the people are willing to trust him for the future. No member of our party has been more firm and consistent than this gentleman. When first a candidate, he boldly avowed his doctrines, and with equal firmness carried them out when elected. He wasted none of the public time, and consumed none of the public money in idle and useless harangues; but spoke only when the occasion required, and then in an able and parliamentary tone. He chose the path of the true statesman, and not the polluted way of the blustering gladiator. Such conduct cannot fail, under all circumstances, to command the admiration of friends, and constrain the respect of foes. Such a man is now before the people again; and their united action will again place him upon the floor of Congress."
The delegates from the last five wards of Baltimore city, Howard district, and Baltimore and Carroll counties, forming the third Congressional district of Maryland, constituted the convention which met at Reisterstown, in Baltimore county, on Saturday, the 24th.

On taking the chair, the venerable president made some exceedingly appropriate and patriotic remarks, which were highly applauded by the convention.
On motion, the following gentlemen were proposed for nomination as a candidate for Congress: T. Watkins Ligon, of Howard district; Wm. P. Maulsby, of Carroll county; Wm. Frick, of Baltimore city.

Mr. Ligon having received a majority of the votes cast, was then, on motion, declared the unanimous choice of the convention.
