In the Philadelphia Press, of the 29th
ult.. we find the following dispatch from
Mr.. FoRNEY:
WASHINGTON, August %, 1850.
Ihave only time to say few words to you
as to the effect in Washington of the fearless
speech Of Judge Douglas at Norfolk, on Satur.
day evening. 1t has taken the Disunionists by
storm. Much as they had reluctantly credited
broad.side like this. He has raked them fore
and aft, and. more daring than ever, has fired
upon them from their own ground.
The questions which he answered disposes,
and, l think, effectually and forever, of the
common threat that the election of any man
can ever be efiectually resisted who fairly and
constitutionally administers the government.
The Republicans ought to feel before such q
demonstration as this the injustice of all their
assaults upon Judge Douglas. Now, what will
Mr.. Breckinridge say? Will he face the music
on the LIST of September? Will he say no to the
questions put to Judge Douglas. as Doug las
said no.. If he does, he loses the Secession
vote, and il he does not, he will baptise his
whole party as Disunion conspiracy.

RALEIGH, Aug. 80, 1860.
holding caucus in the State House. The State
IS largely represented. Anticipations of a
Douglas vote in the Electoral College are be-
coming general. '<-@
A resolution has just been negatived, that in
the event of Douglas not receiving the electoral
vote of the State, the electors be instructed to
give their vote to Breckenridge. A warm de.
bate is going on. The charge that the Douglas
party will rule or ruin has been repudiated and
repealed. The result will prove that. so far as
the action OF North Carolina goes, the Union
will be preserved from the dangers which the
South breads in the event of the election of
Lincoln, by the good sense of the people Goa
inridge is no where in this State.
A prediction, just uttered, that Douglas will
receive the vote Electoral College of the State,
has been warmly applauded.
A later despatch says that the Douglas
electors at large are Hon. R. P. DICK and
ID. K. MRAE. BRECKENRIDGE stands no
chance in the old North State.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press announces that Mr.. DOUGLAS will soon
proceed to Pennsylvania, and will address
a meeting Harrisburg on the 7th, Read
ing on the 9th, and at Philadelphia on the
same evening thence to Easton and other
towns of the State. He then will return to
New York, where he is to address monster
meeting of the Democracy.
From New York, Douglas will come
west. He is to speak at Indianapolis, and
at monster meeting in Chicago during
this month.
In regard to Judge DOUGLAS visit TO
Minnesota, many contradictory rumors are
afioat. The Central Committee has no as
surance he will visit the State during the
canvass. An invitation has been extended
to him, to visit St. Paul, and address the
Democracy at grand State Democratic
Convention to be held here, at such time as
will suit his convenience. We trust he will
accept this invitation and if he does, we
will give DOUGLAS such welcome as will
astonish the natives" But if he can be
more useful elsewhere, in advancing the
glorious cause, in which we are all engaged,
we will, as becomes true Democrats, ignore
our own desires, and bid the gallant chief
tain God speed wherever be may 60.
