The honorable course pursued by Senator
DOUGLAS towards his competitors for nom.
ination at Cincinnati has won for him the
admiration of every candid man in the coun-
try. The Convention adopted the wo-thirds
rule. AS soon however, as Mr.. DOUGLAS
received word that the Convention was d.
vided, and that the continuance of his name
might prevent an early choice, he telegraph
ed to Col. Richardson, desiring his name to
be Withdrawn, and counseling his friends to
go for the person having the majority. To
use his own language: "the triumph of
principle was of far more importance than
the triumph of an individual" In this man.
