Douglas Nominated for President.
YANDARA

The Democrats of Trenton, NJ Jersey, friend
ly to STEPHEN a. DouGLAs. popular severe
iguty, protective tariff, and free lanGs, held a
public meeting on Saturday night last, to re-
joice over the recent triumph in illinois. A.
mong the resolutions adopted was one nomina-
ting Mr. Douglas for the Presidency in 1860,
"subject only to Tue popular will, as expressed
through the balloi-hox.'' An address of some
length was delivered by Augustus Green, urg-
ing the claims of Mr.. Douglas with considera-
bic effect
The National Era, aluiing to the fact, that
the friends of Mr.. Douglas, even before the
snoSe or the battle had cleared Up, claimed
him as the Democratic candidate for The Presi-
deney, says:
"de is to ride 'rough-shoi' over ali compe-
tltors, and to receive the Charleston nomination
by acciamation, as the only adequate reward of
bis heroic and triumphant campaign in the VIM
dication Of Popular Sovereignty, against the
supporters of the 'LseompioB fraud and swim
de We, Of course, claim no right TO inter-
fere in the family quarrels ef the Democracy,
but we cannot but express our admiration 10 ad-
vance, at the spirit Of forgiveness which the
suggestion of nomination of Mr. Douglas at
Charleston implies. Such an event could not
take place without complete transformation of
the characters of the slaveholdcrs. from that of
proud and naughty dictators, into meek and
submissive dough faces. The old prophets, we
know, have foreshowed period when the lamb
and the lion are to lie down together, and we
rejoice 10 believing them; but our latter day
seers would have US believe that the sheep are
10 conquer the wolves. and lead them cap
tive :"
Ii is scarcely to be expected that the Al
minisration and its friends will abandon the
war against Douglas; nor will he (Douglas) treat
them kindly for the nnmerciful war they made
upon him during the past summer The Wash
ingfon Union, foreshadows the feelings of the
Lecompton wing Of the party against It's oppo-
nen!s, when it says Douglas victory in Illinois
was victory. won upon charge of fraud and
delinquency Of principles, against the 'Domoo
racy.'
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes that the tone of feeling
IN Administration circles in that city Is as bit
ter as ever towards Douglas. The prevalent
opinion there is, that be will be rejected by the
Charleston Convention, and will run as an in-
dependent candidate for the Presidency, in the
hope Of throwing the election into the House Of
Representatives,
