when Broderiek received a similar invitation.
There Is ne sort Of question as 10 Douglas po-

It is evident that Seward will be a candidate in

The friends OF Douglas are attempting to Gre
ate the impression that be is the only man that
can defeat Seward, as was the case in Illinois
that be alone could defeat Lincoln, and if they
can get hat impression 10 become general,
the Democracy as a choice Of evils be-
tween him and Seward, will support him. This
drop-game was so successful in Illinois .hev
believe It win succeed al the South, claiming,
as they DO, a strong Douglas influence there
already, that il is understood will advocate his
nomination By the Charleston Convention upon
tins very ground-that he e the only person
with whom the party can defeat Seward.

have not effected their object. To the contest
Seward in 1850 the South must have d
candidate on sectional issues whose sounduess
is beyond csvil OF doubt. and her position must
be forced into that Of a choice Of evils. and
hose who suppose she viii submit to such a
degradation have read her past history with
little profit It nav be mentioned that the
Republicans and Know-Nothings here
are in e~ostaeies at the course Of the Chicago
Times and Mr.. Douglas, and do not regard It
as a personal matter between Douglas ard the
Administration, but as against the Democratic
party, nine-tenths Of the members Of which in
both houses sustain the Administration.
