US from wicked aud sinful generation -
There 'oas not at GnSatime during Saturday
night fUe hundred persons in front If the. En-
qairer building, and in fact we believe that
three hundred, including speakers, would be
very large estimate of the largest crowd as
sembled there at any time that night. The
impudence of our Douglas laudator is sublime
beyond all possibility of exaggention.
1t would be foolish to indicate all the mas
terly misrepresentation Of our excited neigh
bor-its report of the effect of the nomination
on Change, its bonfres, illuminations, its pro-
ceSsions, and other phenomena "n buckram."
They were "all of piece" with its show bill
head lines, advertising tremendous quantity
of merchandise upon empty shelves. The
Enquirer can take the belt, and strut before
an admiring world confessedly the champion
Of political Munchausens.
Alabama.
The Mobile Tribune has the following:
THE RESULT AT BALTIMORE. The final
catastrophe of the exciting drama which has
turned all eyes towards Baltimore for the last
week, is now before the country. The disor-
ganizing and reckless spirit Of the Douglas
faction has wrought its legitimate results
Their exclusion from the Convention Of the
genuine representatives Of the Democracy OF
several Southern States, and the admission in
their stead Of spurious Douglas delegations,
left no doubt of their desperate purpose to
carry their objects with high hand and ut
terly regardless Of the sentiments and de-
mands of the South. The representatives Of
the whole Southern Democracy, together with
a large portion of the delegates Of the North
ern Democracy, including the distinguished
President of the Convention, satisfied of this
and in thorough disgust at the unreasonable
course Of the faction, thereupon renowned all
further associations with them, and organizing
themselves into separate Convention, pro.
ceeded to the adoption OF platform and the
nomination of candidates for the party. They
adopted the platform known as the Majority
Platform at Charleston-a sound Constitutional
platform, which asserts the rio hts and equality
of the South in the Union-and nominated
as candidates for President and Vice President
John C. Breckenridge and Joseph Lane-twc
men, than whom none more sound in then
political opinions, and none more loyal to the
South, can be found within the broad limits
Of the Union.
As to the prospects respectively Of the Breck.
inridge and Douglas tickets for success in the
approaching contest, th4re can be no compari-
son between them. 1t is hardly possible that
Douglas can carry single State in the Union.
The voice of not one Democratic State was
given for his nomination-the bogus delega-
tons from the South of course did not repres-
ent the voice of the Democracy in their States.
On the other hand Breckenridge and Lane
were nominated by the united voice Of every
Democratic State. There cannot be a doubt
tT:T the vote or ssverys Democratic State of the
South, together with Oregon and California,
will be given for them. They have Virginia,
Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama, Missis-
sipp Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Ar
kansas, Oregon and California, as certain capt.
tai to start with. 1t may reasonably be ex-
peeted that Missouri, Tennessee and Maryland
will go with great body of their sister States
of the South. The masses of the Northern
Democracy, seeing this array of States sup
porting Breckenridge and Lane, and that there
is not the slightest hope for Douglas, will, it
is reasonablefo suppose, rally to the standard
of the former and thus sufficient vote may
be given for the ticket in the North, in con-
junction with its certain votes enumerated, to
insure its success Thus there is bright and
cheering prospect of the triumph of Breckin-
ridge and Lane, the chosen standard bearers
of the Southern Democracy, and the faithful
and true champions of the constitutional
rights of the South while, on the other
hand, there is not single CLEAN of hope for
Douglas and Squatter Sovereignty faction.
The Mobile Mercury, lately inclining to
Native American principles, defines its posit-
ion in the following unmistakable language:
We can imagine the satisfaction it gave our
neighbor (The Register) last Saturday evening
upon the authority of reliable dispatches
from Baltimore to feel himself authorized to
run up the name of his favorite for the Presi-
dency, to his masthead. 1t was the GROWING
joy which came to reward the long and ar
duous labors, and we can fancy the happy
mood of mind he was in when he gave the
order. up with the Douglas flag, and nail it
to the mast! Despite the disruption Of the
Convention, we imagine that his soul was lit
I'D with some pleasant visions OF victory. In
our own State, at least, with one Of our own
distinguished citizens on our ticket tor the
Vice Presidency, we have no doubt he felt a
considerable degree of confidence that if he
lost the general fight he would carry the day
in his own State at least. That would be
some glory. But who can tell what day
NAV bring forth to darken the brightest hopes
that cheered and nerved us yesterday That
distinguished citizen of Alabama, in Difference
to numerous deprecating dispatches from his
constituency, imploring him not, is reported
to have determined not, to accept. With that,
away goes Douglasism in Alabama-in the
O. FTba inf uopoo
of such declining upon his prospects every
where, will be sufficient, we should think, to
bring Douglas himself down.
Upon the whole, our Douglas neighbor has
gloomy time before him. 1t was light
some and JOYOUS task to run up Fitzpatrck's
name for Vice President, but it will be hard
work for him to take it down, and leave its
place as blank as must be his hopes. We can
almost find it in our hearts to condole with
him in this hour Of his adversely.
Texas.
The Texas (MarshalD Republican, the most
Influential Democratic paper in the State, out
side OF Galveston, says;
The efforts made by the friends of Douglas
to get I'D demonstration in his favor In the
Southern States has turned out miserable
failure, and has demonstrated conclusively
that even with the prestige OF party nomi-
nation, he could not obtain the electoral vote
of a single Southern State. In the cities,
where the great body of the people are lamen-
tablv ignorant in relation to the political is
sues, before the country, and where there is a
large freesoil element, meetings have been
held, several of them respectable In point of
numbers by far the largest of these in the
Black Republican city of St. Louis; but in the
country, where the people are better informed
and more thoroughly indoctrinated with the
true theory of the Government Mr.. Douglas
has but few supporters The only matter of
surprise is that he should have any. Be it
said to the credit of the Democracy of this
State, that there is not a prominent public
man and but one press belonging to tho Dem
cratic party which condemns the course OF the
seeding delegates, or gives any countenance
to the Illinois Senator. The only commenda-
ton and the only support come from the op-
position.
Tennessee.
The Nashville Union and American thus
supports the nominations Of the
Southern Constitutional Convention
