New Jersey, the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas
was nominated as the Democratic candidate
for the next Presidency. The Hon. Garnett

of the meeting.
The Louisville (Ky.) Daily Courier ad-
vocates the nomination of the Hon. James
Guthrie as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in 1860.
Hon. John Minor Bolts is still in New
York. On Monday evening he was waited
ON by the Ashland Club, political organl-
cation in favor of his nomination to the
Presidency. ;,
The State Council of the American"
party in New York, is in session at Geneva.
Messrs. Ullman, Erastus Brooks, Dean,
Scroggs, and other prominent leaders. are IN
attendance. The chief point of difference
appears to be as to the time of holding their
State Convention, whether on the TN OF

Convention is heidi or the Dist of Septem-

one for union with the Republicans to defeat

We judge from remarks in the Baltimore
papers that the outrages committed in Bal
timore and its neighborhood, by the assas-
sins, villains, and rowdies there, are stirring
up feeling which it is difficult to repress,
and which, if suffered to increase, may lead
to the most summary measures to rid the
community Of such nuisances. There is no
division of party in relation to the matter.
Every body agrees that something must be
done to "put down" the rowdies.
