THE SOFT STATE CONVENTION.

ALBANY, Aug. Ia, 1860.
Tomorrow fhe Douglas Democrats viii meet in State
Convention at Syracuse. The leaders of that faction
have for some time been busy in preparing the way,
which they have found uncommonly rough for thrust
ing upon the public the schemes that have been elab-
srsed in secret The question whether the Mozart or
Tsmnany delegation paris Of both shall be admitted
may prove rock upon which, as in former days the
Convention will split. That question disposed Of the
great work Of arranging coalition, or rather OF con-
summsting the arrangements already made for a Goa
Elton with the Bell and Everett people, will be taken

teal difficulties. There are some of the Union
kaSers who hesitate at the proposed coalition. Frank

people without party distinction that will present an

been entered into for procuring signatures by the

such sort and numbers, as will override all other pro-

accomplish the forms of their undertaking.

A Democrat residing in Richmond stepped into this
Office yesterday morning and stated that he had voted
the Democratic ticket invariably for fifteen years. but
that he had determined vote for Bell and Everett and
desired to make contribution Of money in aid Of the
glorious cause Of the Constitution and the Union? And
he did shell out his dollars, and having formed par-
oc resolution and performed patriotic act he no doubt
went his way rejOicingl
This is only Of thousands upon top OF thousands Oh
similar straws that show which way the wind is blow
ing We doubt not that nearly half Of the members OF
the Democratic party in Virginia and throughout the
countryside patriotic and honest rank and he oil the
party who look SELF but alone to the welfare ana
happiness Of the couny-are even now almost persuau
ed and will be quite persuaded before the day OF cleo
ton to vote for Bell and Everett They are beginning
10 see and know that the contest is between Bell and
Lincoln and that to for either Douglas or Breckin-
ridge is equivalent to throwing their vote away, and
equivalent indirectly, to voting for Lincolnl
We believe there are hundreds and thousands OF Dem
ocras in every portion of Virginia and the South, who
will initiate the patriotic example of the gentleman to
whom we have referred and who will come out, boldly
and fearlessy for Bell and Everett as the only means
under Heaven, of defeating the election Of Black Re-
publican President And we invite them to come-we
invite them all to come-and heartily and zealously aid
the conservatives of the country in putting down Adolf
ton fanaticism and Southern Disunonism. We can ac-
commodate and take care of them ALL and let them all
comel There is no time for triing. Neither Breckin-
ridge nor Douglas stands the ghost Of chance and 1t Is
the duty-he solemn and imperative duty-of all good
men and patriots everywhere, to rally together as
hand of brothers, in support Of John Bell and Edward

The news is, indeed, cheering enough from Alabama.
An intelligent correspondent writing to the Memphis En-
gurer from Florence in that State closes his letter with
the following acceptable and have no doubt perfect
ly reliable information:
'Our cause is cheering in its prospects in this

enthusiasm for Bell and Everett is not less than that Of

the State.
Douglas certainly strongest in North Alabama, and
his friends will yield. Several counties however,
will 90 for Bell and Everett in this part of the State and
they will certainly lead in the South. The Breckenridge
men say that Bell will beat Douglas, in the State; and
the Douglas men say that Bell will beat Breckenridge II
their testimony is TO be believed land in this instance
thAk s the State will certainly go for Bell and Everett
1t is now almost absolutely certain that the South with
tie exception of the thoroughly Dsunon State of South
carolina will vote as a unit for Bell and Everett Push

HulIdIng Of n Club House ]

There committee appointed at the meeting even
ing before last to consider the expectancy OF erecting
Club House in convenient portion Of the city, and
collecting money for that purpose. We hope the COM
mstee will discharge the duty assigned them without
moments delay We deem it most important matter
and we trust il will be attended to at once.
The cost of the erection CT Club House, including
the Of site for it. will not exceed We understand
the amount which should necessarily be compelled to
pay for the of the African Church often it is
deemed ezpedent for the Club to meet. A lot for a
Club Hocse be rented, learn, for about $3.50
SuppOsing the Club to meet only week at the AZ
rcan Church. during the canvass the Church rent would
amount to nearly $780, But it is important that the
Club should meet oftener than once week. and eonse-
queniy the erection Of Club House would be cheaper
than renting the Church Tho lumber used in its
strueton could be disposed Of AFTER the election at only
little less, perhaps, than the original cost.
But eonceding that the Club House would cost three
or four tunes much the rent OF the Church, we
should still favor the scheme upon the highest grounds
Of party eKpedency. With House capable OF accom-
mOdating comfortably two three thousand persons
We should have the most rousng and enthusiastic meet
lgs that were held in the State and the influence
OF our demonstrations here would be felt all over the
Commonwealth. Besides ifa Speaker from abroad should
happen in the city any day. instead of OBTAINING him and
waiting to give notice through the papers, the boys with
their BELLS a-rngng and achming would rally the
members Of the Club together and we should perhaps
have eloquent and stirring speech two two
or three times week. Besides large bell might be
put on top of the Club House and used occasion may
ARISE to ring the people together
Entertaining these views of the subject and others
might mention deem the suggestion for the erection
Of Club House capital one, and we hope it may be
carried out without delay The Revolution has COM
meneed Let it go forward with mighty strdel

The Augusta COnstituiiondiist, Democratic paper,
admits that Bell and Everett will get the votes of Della
ware, Virginia North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri, 60 in ALL That is pretty well for Democrat
aud indicates the steady regular and healthy growth Of
the Constitutional Union party At first these Democrats
hooted the idea of any body supporting Bell and Ev-
erett. After while they admitted that possibly they
might &c; Maryland As weeks rolled by, they thought
that Bell might be likely carry Tennessee, his own ma
tive State The Overwhelming msjority of Coombs, in
Kentucky compelled them to add that State also to the
list of Union States. Next came North Carolina and
Missouri And now they give US little Delaware. We
trust that the Democracy will keep on and by November
they will themselves elect Bell and Everett, by over
whelming majority of the popular vote Roll along the
ball!
