The Hartford (Conn.) Times, leading Dem
ocrOtic journal which still occupies "fencs.
viswlng" position, says:
1t is claimed on one hand, that Mr.. Douglas
is regularly nominated; on the other, that his
nomination was in violation of The usages of
the Democratic party, alter refusing seals to u
large number of delegates who had legitimate
right to participate in the proceedings of the
Convention. Al the same time Mr.. Breckenridge
did not get a nomination under the rules and
regulaio of the Democratic organization, and
Os President Buchanan suggests, neither having
been nominated under he rules of the party

lists; and it is evident to every impartial obser-
er that Mr.. Breckinlidge will carry full one
third, il not quite one-half, of the Electoral
votes of the Union. But in the present condi-
tOn of the party it is dffcult to say where Judge
Douglas can gel.one Electoral vote.

In speech delivered near Boston the other
day, MIR. Douglas used the following language:
II we only remain faithful to that fund amen
tai principle, (Popnlar Sovereignty and leave
the people of each state and each territory free
TO manage their own nffiirS in their own way
without interfering with those OF their neigh
bors there can be peace forever between tn,
North and the South, the East aud the Wesl.
Now contrest this with the same mans
speech, at New Orleans, in December 1858:
Slaves are regarded Us property and placed Oh
an Equal FOOTING with all other property.
Hence the owner Of slaves, the same as tho
owner ofany other species OF property, HAS 4
RIGHT TO MOVE TO ANY TERRITORY
AND CARRY HIS PROPERTY WITH HIM.
These two statements one made near Boston
and the other in New orlesns-show what eff
ect climate has upon on oflios.seeker.

The Mtetltgcncer has the following in regarp.
TO the Democratic party:
in view ol the consistent opposition which
we nave IeIt 1t our duty to wage against the
democratic party since its organization by Pres
ident Jackson, II would be needless for US TO re
cite ut TINS Junclure the long catalogue of errors
and abuses, which, in our judgmonr should have
wrought its overthrow long before the present
day. CheeriuIIy recognizing the patriotism of
the masses who composed ii, as lso the ability
oil tho chleltnins by whom it was marshaled, wa
have too often been compelled TO dissent from
the wisdom OF its measures, to find any serious
cause OF regret in the prospect OF its voluntary
dlssolnilon-a dissolution accomplished under
circumstances which leave 10 room for re-
ptooch against any suvc those who are OF its
own household
- party defeated and crushed by the weight
OF superior numbers on the side of its sntago-
nlstS. may find in its misfortune a source OF
lrrttu lmpatieHce against the latter; but u party
which Tails to pieces under the pressure OF its
own dissensions, is stripped OF all pretext for
any sentiment except self-accusation.

ReconstructiOn of the Demoarn

Necohatructioh OF the democratic Party.
| The s.. Louis Demucrat has an article en,i
tied 'Reconstruc ion Of the Democratic party. -
III which il takes view of the present Struggle
IN the ranks OF the party which facts seem to
warrant. 1t says, The struggle between Doug.
las and Breckinr.dge ia not for the presidency,
but for the henship," and that, judging from III
lcations, Brecklnridge is undoubtedly the right
ful heir to the ruined party-the true prince OF
the deposed dynasty. He has seventeen states
to back him-lilteen slave states. with Caliior-
MIA and Oregon. In all these states the Senator
has yet to be named who supports Douglass
Mr.. Clingman was said to be for Douglas prior
to the rump convention al Baltimore but there
is no evidence that he ratified its nomination
The Democratic press Of the South with but
few exceptions, support Breckinridge. In view
Of these facts the Democrat says:
We feel assured that when the smoke of the
Battle shall have cleared away, when the returus
OF the presidential election shall have been com
pared, it will be seen that the Douglas faction
has been utterly routed and dispersed-in fact
annihilaed. There is no probability that he
will carry sing state. His chances are bet
ter here in Missouri than anywhere elsa, and
ycl IL - Hslhll pDSslU6 tIuI lie Will receive
plurality in November next, or that Jackson and
Reynolds who have declared for him. can be ell
ected Governor AID Lieutenant Governor i'm Au-
gust. With his defeat his party ceases to exist
No so with Breckinridge. The party that sus-
tsins him is yet dominant in the S.nate, and
will be far from impotent in the House. That
party through its minority in one branch Of
Congress and its MAJORITY in the other { Bre ckin
ridge himself being one of that majority will
have potential voice in the legislation and
government Of the country. For the four years
of Lincons term it will be propaganda Of the
slave code theories, the head aud front of the
Opposition 10 the Republican Administration,
and before the next Democratic Convention
shall be held, the Douglas heresy will be com.
pletely extirpated, while Douglas himself will
have receded from public view as completely as
Martin Van Buren, after the election of Taylor.
The Douglas followers will then bear the same
relation TO the furnace tried Democrats that the
Barnburners bore to the late Democratic party
The present is the season Of trial. Years of H.
deity TO the party hereafter will not compen-
safe Tor days OF adherance to Douglas now.
