Hamilton OonventiOn.

The district convention which assembled
At Hamilton yesterday, was well attended,
and its deliberations were characterized BY
great harmony and good feelings. We have
,oarcely ever attended meeting where
there might have been room for difference
Of opinion, that was so unanimous in all its
proceedings. The feeling was strongly and
irresistibly for Judge Douglas, Even the
few who preferred some other man as first
oboice for the Charleston nomination e1-
pressed great good feeling for Judge Doug
las and submitted to the decision Of an over
whelming majority, with true democ ratio
patriotism. The delegates selected are, all
of them, staunch democrats, and will in any
emergency, oct for the best interests OF their
constituents and Of the whole country We
saw to the Charleston Convention, give us
good man, upon good popular sovereign
ty platform, "a candidate whose life and
position upon the questions Of the day,u
the subject of popular sovereignty is an em'
bodiment Of the sentiment Of the liberal de
mooracy Of the country, and who can COM
mand the enthusiasm Of the West, and we
will elect him triumphantly.
We are sure the next president must ell
ther be a liberal, progressive Democrat oi
q Black Republican, therefore let the south
the north the east, and all the "rest of man
kind" take notice and act accordingly.

The Tide For Douglas

The force of the opposition clamor is be-
ing spent against Senator Douglas, while II
other Democratic aspirants for the Presiden-
lial Office are at all mentioned, it is for the
purpose Of showing that their chances for
the nomination by the Charleston Conven-
lion are infinitely superior to his. If Doug
las have no possible chance to get the mons
ination, and could not be elected by the peo-
pie The should get it, why do the opposi-
sion so persistenty abuse him' Why do
they expend all their ammunition upon him,
ifhs be so completely harmless in political
point Of view
Just in proportion as it is indicated by
the Democracy in their individual capacity
or through their primary conventions, that
they favor the nomination of the Illinois
Senator for President, the Opposition press
abuse him. Their purpose is easily divin-
cd feeling that he is at the present time
the choice Of the masses Of the democratic
party for President, they are labOrlng to
,ut him down. The task is rather dis1our.
lging; for the more they misreprssent, abuse
and villify him, the brighter his prospects
become. If they improve as steadily be-
tween this and the meeting Of the conyen-
ton as they have during the last six months,
there will be little question as to who will
be nominated at Charleston.
We are for the nominee of the Charleston
Convention, no matter whom he may be-
We have confidence to believe that the del
egates to that body will do what they con-
ceive best for the party and interests of the
whole country; but we cannot ignore the
signs Of the times while considering the
question Of "who will be nominated ?" We
desire that the will Of the people be obeyed
by their representatives at Charleston; we
will acuuiesce in their choice At present
the voice of the people, as well as the clamoi
of the opposition, indicate that Douglas il
the imam for the times and there is nc
sense in denying it. What the interim be-
tween this and the sitting Of the convention
may bring forth, we cannot divine but We
believe the democracy will be found equa
to any emergency which may be sprung up
on them. In the mean time let "IIarmony
be the watchword of the Democracy, and lie
every democrat 90 to work with a determin
alton to elect the nominee of the Charles

With all the water they could throw, the
heat several times kindled and burst into
flame on the wood work of the buildings.-
Everything was very dry, and cinders flew
over the space and lighted in showers on the
roofs, setting fire at various points. All this,
however, was speedily extinguished and the
flames soon spent their fury on the boats,
