WASHINGTON, June %.

My DEAR SR;--I have received your let
ter inquiring whether my friends are at lib
erty to present my name to the Charleston
Convention for the Presidential nomination.
Before this question can be finally determined
it will be necessary to understand distinctly
upon what issue the canvass is to beoonduct-
ed. If, as | have full faith they will the
Democratic party shall determine in the Pres
dential election of 1860, to adhere to the
principles embodied in the Compromise Meas
ures of 1850, and re-afirmed in the Kansas
Nebraska act of 1854, and incorporated into
the Cincinnati Platform in 1856 us expound-
ed by Mr.. Buchanan in his letter accepting
the nomination, and approved by the people
in his election-in that event, my friends
will be at liberty to present my name to the
Convention, if they see proper to do 50.
If, in the contrary, it shall become the pol
| icy Of the Democratic party (which / cannot
anticipate) Sto repudiate these their time
honored principles on which we have achiev-
ed so many patriotic triumphs and in lieu of
them the convention shall interpolate into the
creed of the party such new issues as the re-
vivNl of the African slave trade, or a Con-
gressional slave CODE for the Territories, or
the doctrine that the Constitution of the U
S. either establishes or prohibits slavery in
the Territories peyond the power of the peo-
pie, legally, to cOntral it as other property,
it is dut to candor to say that in such an
event could not accept the nomination, If
rendered to me. Trusting that this answer
will be deemed sufficiently explicit, l am
very respectfully your friend,
s. A. DOUGLAS.

BOSTON SOUTHERN srEAMERs.

Our readers are aware that steamship company
has been organized 10 Boston, with George w.
Thayer-not Eli-at its head. This company de.
signs establishing line of steamers between that
city and New Orleans. We learn that there is all
90 an idea on foot Of establishing steam line be.
tween Boston and James River. We should be glad
to see these lines established. We think It would
do Boston no harm to have more free intercourse
with the South. She would be mach enlightened
as to her interests, aud fanaticism would likely
give back little to those more important consid-
erations. At all ovents If the solid men of Boston,
after opening their Southern lines should not mend
their behavior, we could make their lines of little
avail to them.
