h is almost unnecessary to direct attention to
the details Of the proceedings in the Democratic
National Convention, for not only the politicians
Of all professions, but every other class of society,"
viii read them with great eagerness Judging from
the past, the tremendous turmoil and excitement
In the convention augurs rather well for the final
subsistence Of all sectional difficulty Every exer-
tion is being made by the different ciques to
place their favorite candidates in the ascendency;
and when they are satisfied that they cannot
succeed, it is not improbable that they will adopt
the old system of compromising their difficulties,
by giving " a long pull, strong pull and pull
altogether in behalf Of him whom they consider
the most available. But, then, the opposition to
the admission of Mr.. Rantoul, the great Boston
freesoiler. may possibly cause portion of the
Northern freesoers to withdraw their support from
the regular nominee and set up for themselves, upon
the ricketty and unsound Buffalo platform Of 1918.
The resolutions in favor Of the compromise measures
will also have tendency to arouse the Indignation
of the out-and-o abolitonists; but their opposi-
ton would be more than overbalanced by the

resolutions would take to the polls. As
TO whom the Convention will ultimately settle upon
for the Presidency, it is preposterous to hazard
surmise. The Geographic dispatches TEEN with
representations of all sorts; and the diversity of
opinions expressed. render it apparent that the
writers forward merely the views entertained by
the numerous coteries, without being able to throw
glimmer of lightu what will be the final result.
One thing is very certain, large number of the in
huentia wings quietly doing all in their power to
secure the nomination Of Judge Douglas. They seem
to feel conscious that, with him opponent, G en-
Scott would calmly sit down and partake Of his
hasty plate of soup, without any fear of not being
elected-while, on the other hand, they do fear the
tried craftsmanship of Buchanan, Glass; and Others,
as well as the military reputation of Gen. Houston.
Nevertheless the Cuban and free. farm movement
In favor of Douglas, together with the eoquence Of
Hon. Mike Walsh may possibly secure his nominal
ton. Time will tell.
