could squeeze in, took look at Mrs. ID
and many of them decided that she wa!
the most magnificent woman they ever
saw. The remarks of the softer sex whicl
fell on my ear as moved down the streets
through groups of them, were not quite S,

The Judge met an enthusiastic reception a.
our spindle city and at Nashua. He has
left an impression behind him that will new

supported the 'proviso' of 'Davy Wilmot
1t was also we'll known here, that prior to
the nomination he had written letters to his
friends in the northwest, Seren of which
had been collected and brought to the con-
vention. They were couched in smooth
phrases, yet said in substance, that the
only course to save the party from inevita-
bic ruin was to nominate S. a. Douglas

orally does not so state) that not only were

it was proposed to take the third ballot by
| States, a southe n member proposed as a
substitute that every member in favor oil
the nomination Of ID. should rise, which
was done, and ecery member rose, which
made him the the unanimous choice of the
convention. Upon such state of facts, it
was no marvel that the trained regulars
who had in every contest stood by Pierce

Poor old Bay State, what can we say O
her? The politicians and nearly all thu
papers Supported by the Custom House
are against Douglas, while the Democratic
masses are about as unanimous in his favor
These politicians are very able men. They
can change politics or religion as readily a:
Tallyrand or Sunderland. In those thing:
they excel all the tribe in ability, in an ut
ter destiution of all moral or political prin
ciple, and in facility for change. 1t woult

keep their stripe in power, and then to re
