WASHINGTON, April 10, $780,
Mr.. Douglas and the CharesoN Conuentiom-A Prediction

apprehension Of the nomination Of the Little Giant

very general belief prevails that the results Of the
Convention will be the reunion and consolidation Of the
democracy but among the sagacious observers Of
the temper and the movements OF Mr. Douglas and his
friends during the last four months, very different Cpl
MON entertained Thus, for instance, in conversation
with IN intelligent Western democrat last evening upon
the subject gentleman somewhat with the
views and purposes Of Mr. Douglas admonished
that explosion and bolt At Charleston and the nom
nation Of Mr. Douglas independent candidate were
mot among the mpsobabiites Of the next ten days. In
deed, respondent, though claiming 70 be neither

his deliberate opinion that the abrupt dissolution Of the
Convention and Of the party, and the independent nom
nation Of Douglas by his wing Of the Convention and his
adoption by the Baltimore third party Convention Of old
line wings and Americans would be all matter Of history
before the 18th day Of May.
