An exchange says that when Mr. Douglas
was recently asked to consent to stand as a
candidate for nomination, 40 the Charleston
Convention, be declined. On being pressed
for a reason, he said "1He Opposition are
sure to succeed Ia the Hert Presidential election. '
This bitter confession, Of the ablest man in
the Democratic ranks, gives us, in few
words, the clearest idea of the complete de-
moralization Of the Administration. Its pow
orof evil IS comparatively speaking, at an end.
1t is generally conceded, in political circles,
that Douglas and Hunter have come to an I'M
derstanding, by which the latter is to have
the honor of being defeated by the opposition
in lS6O-the former awaiting the chances
Of 1864. This opinion receives additional
strength from the fact, that the last three
candidates of the Democracy have been taken
from the North, making the next due to the
South.
The Suites, formerly strong Douglas pa
per, is now evidently under the control of
Hunter, with a kindly feeling towards Doug
las and the editor is Nirginian of the Hun
ter school The silence of Hunter, during
the recent opular-soyereiguty debate in the
Senate, is also considered ominous of the as.
