Democratic National Convention!
baltimore June TO a. M.

We are in, perfect Of excitement The
whole city is scene of political juggling Stran-
gers are here from every quarter. The hotels
are overlooking. Nearly all the delegates viii be
in attendance in the Convention. have never
before seen so much maneuvring caucusing,
&c The friends Of General Cass are using every
exertion. So also are Mr.. Buchanan's friends
Douglas stock appears to be rising pretty rapidly
and it would by no means astonish me to see him
get the nomination. The chances for General
Cass are very slim He has but one chance in
twenty to be successful. There is a decided and
almost bitter opposition to him by many, and
they would seem imperyious to Cancellation.
The Buchanan men are moving heaven and
earth. They had caucus at Carroll Hall last
night, and held a kind of general levee at their
quarters.
An immense meeting was held in Monument
square last evening, and several speakers adj
dressed the multitude but all were guarded,
ana urged only the support of the nominee, after
he shall have been announced
1t IS not yet known who will preside over the
| Convention. The Hon. Cave johnson is prom-
nently spoken of also, Hon John w Davis, Of
Indiana. The Convention meets at IL o'clock
to-day.
The two delegations, Union and Disunion, OF
Georgia, are likely to give trouble. They have
thus far been unable TO fraternize or agree. The
matter will have to be decided by the Convention
Mississippi stands ready to give five votes for
Mr.. Buchanan. Louisiana, though instructed to
vote for Glass; will be glad of an opportunity to
take Douglas Such is the fact, Enthusiastically
The two-thirds rule will unquestionably be
adopted this is certain death to Cass
General Commander, of South Carolina, is
here lie has registered himself as a delegate
from the Georgetown district He is the only
South Carolina delegate, but will not take the
responsibility of representing the whole State
