Election of President by the House.


In the present condition Of parties it is impossible
to predict the result of the Presidential election in
November. The election may go to the House Of
Representatives as it did in 1924 In that event it
may be we'll to anticipate the result The House
will vote by States-that is, majority of the Rep
resentatives from each State will cast the vote of
the State, each State having one vote. The States
as now represented stand as follows: Republican
15 Democratic IA, American l, tied 8. 1t will re-
quire II votes to elect the number of States being
49, The House will commence voting in February,
and if no choice shall be made by the 4th of March,
1861, the duty of electing Vice President who will
be the President, will then devolve on the Senate
We take it for granted that the name of Lincoln
the Republican candidates will go to the House,
should there be no choice by the people. Who the
other two highest will be it is impossible to foresee
We are consolved, however, by the reflection that
either would be preferable to Lincoln.
If the election of President should devove upon
the Senate that body will have to choose between
the two highest candidates for Vice President. The
choice will, therefore, in all probability be between
Hamln and either Lane, Johnson or Everett The
Senate is Democratic That body will certainly de-
eide against Hamlin and it may be that Judge
Douglas, as a member of that body, will have the
privilege and the pleasure Of voting for one Of the
three last named against Hamlin, the candidate Of
the black Republicans.

A letter was read from Judge Douglas to Gov.

as candidate, if necessary to secure the ascendan-

WASHINGTON, II P NJ,
Private. June 20, 1860. ( ::
My DEAR SIR: learn there is imminent danger
that the Democratic party will be demoralized, if
not destroyed by the breaking up of the convention.
Such an event would inevitably expose the country
to the pers of sectional strife between the North
ern and Southern partizans of congressional inter-
ventlon upon the subject of slavery in the Terrific
ries firmly and conscientiously believe that there
is no safety for the country-no hope for the pre-
servation Of the Union-except by faithful ard
rigid adherence to the doctrine of nonintervention
by Congress with slavery in the Territories Inter-
vention means disunion. There is no difference in
principle between Northern and Southern interven-
tion The one lntervenes for slavery and the other
against slavery but each appeals to the passions
anu pfeJuulceS vi Ills Owu seCllOn against tne peace
of the whole country and the right of selfgovern-
ment by the people Of the Territories. Hence the
doctrine of nonintervention must be maintained at
all hazards. But while can never sacrifice the
principle to attain the Presidency will cheer
fully and joyfully sacrifice myself to MAINTAIN the
principle. II, therefore, you and my other friends
who have stood by me with such heroic hrmness at
Charleston and Baltimore shall be of the opinion
that the principle can be preserved and the unity
and ascendancy Of the Democratic party maintained
and the country saved from the perils of Northern
abolitonisn and Southern disunion, by withdraw
ing my name, and uniting upon some other non.
Intervention, Union-loving Democrat, beseech you
to pursue that course. Do not understand me as
wishing to dictate to my friends have implicit
confdencein yours and their patriotism, judgment
and discretion. Whatever you may do in the pre-.
misses will meetmy hearty approval. But conjure
you to act with an eye single to the safety and vel
fare of the country, and without the slightest re-
gard to my individual interests or aggrandisement
My interests will be best promoted, and my ambi
ton gratied and motives yind,cated by that course

Want Of space prevents US from dwelling more at
length to-day on the proceedings Of the Convention
but in our next we will resume the subject.
Much enthusiasm was manifested in both Conven-
able and patriotic Democrats. We believe the Con-
stitution and the Union, the rights of the South,
and the best interests of the Democratic party
would be entirely safe in the hands of either Breck-
inrdge or Douglas-and we may add the same as to
johnson and Lane 1t is not our purpose at present
to express any preference for either, but to abide
such action in this respect may be taken by the
Democratic party Of the State. )
We declined to secede at Baltimore; but, out ha
respect for the opinions of the fifteen delegates whs
did, and because of the pending elections at home
being anxious to do nothing which would prevent
us from cordially cooperating with our Democratic
friends in the Gubernatorial, Legislative and Pre-
sidental campaigns-we declined to act or to vote,
after the President of the Convention and so many
of our codelegates had retired. five had acted or
voted at all, we would certainly have voted for
Stephen A. Douglas. We are now free, however,
to make own choice, not considering ourself ir.
revocally bound by either Convention. We thought
we had no right to secede and enter new Conven
ton; and if we had left the original Convention we
should have returned home and surrendered oul
commission to our constituents Far be it from us
however, to question the motives or the patriotism
of those who pursued different course. That they
acted honestly we entertain no doubt We only
claim for ourself the same integrity and honesty o
motive which we freely accord to them. In tb'
language of our friend of the Wilmington Journal
1--WE now counsel harmony"
