DOUGLAS IN MAINE.

spouse. His reception was most enthusiast
tic. On his way, at Brunswick, he was
stopped an hour to receive the courtesies OF
the people Of that vicinity, where he also
made speech. Maine gives every indica-
ton of political redemption this fall.
NEW YORK DOUGLAS DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Douglas Democratic State Conven-
ton re-assembled at Syracuse, New York,
on the 10th, and after adjourning from time
to time to allow the Committee on Electo-
raj Ticket to complete their labors, finally
selected full ticket which is satisfactory to
the Committee of the Bell and Everett par
ty, who have been present during the entire
session negotiating for representation o.
the ticket that would bring to it the support
of the Americans of the State. One-third
of the electors are members of the Ameri.
can Organization. The electors at large are
Reuben H. Walworth, of Saratoga, and
Heman j. Redfeld, of Genesee. The reso-
lutions endorse the non-intervention doctrine
of Douglas and the Front St. Theatre Bal
timore platform, deprecate as disastrous the
election of Abraham Lincoln, deplore the
mal.administratio of the State government
by the Republicans, and urge its restoration
to the sworn enemies of corruption-the
Democrats. The resolutions were generally
of local character.
OHIO UNION STATE CONVENTION.
The Bell and Everett State Convention
for Ohio, met on the 10th, and nominated
full electoral ticket, and candidates for
Attorney General, Member of Board of
Public Works. No nomination was made
for Supreme Judge. Resolutions were
adopted condemning the conduct of the Re-
publican party in Ohio, in their effort to
nulify the laws through the agency of the
Supreme Court. Speeches were made by
Gen. Trump, Hon. L. D. Campbell, Combs
and others.
IOWA BRECKENRIDGE CONVENTION.
The Breckenridge and Lane movement
in Iowa is most absurd fzzle. A State
Convention was held at Davenport, on the
18th, at which only about seventy delegates
were present. Thig small squad of office
holders, however, went through the farce
of endorsing the disunion platform, and oil
nominating an electoral ticket for the
State.
VIRGINIA DOUGLAS AND BRECKENRIDGE
CONVENTIONS.
Two State Conventions have been in
session in Virginia at the same time-the
Douglas convention at Staunton, and the
Breckenridge convention at Charlottesville.
Neither had adjourned at our last dates.
The Breckinridgers were exceedingly anx.
ious to form fusion of the two elements,
while the friends of Douglas seemed to be
unwilling. A dispatch says that, on the
10th, proposition for compromise was re
ceived by the Stanton convention from
that at Charlottesville, which was instantly
and overwhelmingly rejected. Each side
will doubtless ego it alone in Virginia
this fall, thus securing the electoral vote
Of that State to Bell and Everett.
THE NEW YORK STATE TICKET.
1t is reported that both Democratic
State Conventions in New York have
agreed to the effect that Brady, the Brock
inridge Gubernatorial candidate, shall re-
sign in favor of Kelly, with the contingency
of going to the U. S. Senate.
THE VAN BURENs, PRESIDENT AND PRINCE.
Ex-President Van Buren, and his son
Prince John have not yet taken formal
ground on the Presidential nominations. 1t
is generally understood that they are waiting
to see what is to turn up. 1t is reported
that Prince John favOrs Breckenridge, while,
TIE Elk President rather inclines to Douglas
"a statement which the following incident
favors A few days ago, at Sharon Springs
in conversation with a friend on political
topics, the venerable ex- President remarked ::
" l am not much given to making political
predictions, but you may bear this in mind,
which l now predict, namely, that Mr..
Douglas will carry the State of New York
in November. In making this prognosti-
cation, the Sage of Lindenwald exhibited
bis usual perspicuity. He knows very we'll
that Judge Douglas is the only Presidential
candidate who has any hold on the popular
heart, and it is vain for the partisans of Bell
OR Breckenridge, in that State, to attempt
to stem the great current that has set in ia
vor of the Little Giant. Mr.. Breckinridee
has scarcely any supporters in the North
besides the federal Office. holders, and even
among them he is damned with faint praise.
The elections in Missouri, North Carolina
and Kentucky, have paralyzed the whole
regiment Of tide>waiters, and they probably
admit that their man is dead cock in the
pit.
