put in nomination to represent the District
in the next Congress. The nomination had
his best wishes, and he would pledge him

present Members of Congress from this State,

not a majority-aud to speak of the
better prospects in view for the Republican
cause at the present time. Mr.. Royce was

him speaking, when the necessities Of travel

BRECKENRIDGE y DOUGLAS.
Mr.. Breckenridge formally accepts the nomi-
alton, in a letter dated July 6, to the Hon.
Caleb Cushing President ofthe Democratic
National Convention. His letter is consid-
erably longer than that of Mr.. Douglas, in
which he accepted the nomination Of the
National Democratic Convention. " The two
differ in essential points about as much as
do the names of the two fragmentary bodies
which nominated them.
Mr. Douglas lays down as the essential
living principle of policy on which the
conservative and patriotic men Of the
Whis and Democratic parties of 1850
