Samson of Pa. stated that nine delegates

adopted, declaring Douglas nominated, ac-
cording to the usages of the Democratic
party and the rules of Congress, by two
thirds vote.
Cheer upon cheer now arose, every person
in the Theatre rising and waving their hats
and handkerchiefS, and evincing the utmost
enthusiasm. The scene could not be eX-
ceeded in excitement. In the upper tiers,
banners long kept in reserve were unfurled
and waved before the audience, which
appeared a number OF banners, one of
which bore the inscription, '' Pennsylvania
good for 1000 majority for Douglas"
Cheers for the Little Giant were responded
to by the people outside, till all was at per-.

a unanimous vote the Democratic condi-

cheering tremendously.

conv ention took a recess until clock.
Richardson of Ills. presented a letter from
Douglas, dated Washington, goth inst, ask
ing the withdrawal of his name if it would
produce peace and harmony in the Demo-
cratic ranks. But Mr.. Richardson said that
the course of the Seceders had been such as
to prevent the friends of Mr.. Douglas max

Fitzpatrick of Ala. was nominated for
Vice President by a unanimous vote; after
which the convention, after passing several
unimportant resolutions, adjourned SINE die.

New YORK, June 23d, P. NO. S. Wood,
one of the oldest and most accomplished
telegraphers in this country and who has
had for several years the charge and man
agement of the Canada lines, went to Eu-
rope on business connected with his pro-
fession. During his sojourn in London Mr..
Wood made many inquiries touching the
prospects of the newly-proje ojected telegraph
cable line, between England and America
by the way of Greenland AMI Iceland. The
result of these enquiries, he sums up in the
subjoined paragraph extracted from one of
his letters to his friends in this country.
"They (the new company will accomplish
nothing except making surveys. We shall
never see Europe and America connected by
telegraph by the way of Greenland and
Iceland. The more inquiries l make, the
better l am satisfied, that we shall soon
have direct line working successfully across
the Atlantic, and l hope you may live
years after it is accomplished"
Wood strongly deprecates the difficulty
which has recently sprung up between the
Press ofthe United States and the American
Telegraph Company, on account Of theextra-
ordinary measures of the latter, and predicts
that the inevitable result of the quarrel
will be the establishment of rival lines
throughout the country.

WASHINGTON, June %, M.-HOUsE.-On
motion of Mr.. Bonham, the President WAS
requested to furnish the House at its next
session with all the information that could
be obtained as to the disposition by the Brit
ish Government of the Africans captured
by the British navy and its disposition of
the officers and crew of the Slayers thus ta-
ken.
HOUsE.-Much time was consumed in
calling the yeas and nays on a suspension of
the rules, for the purpose of taking up pri-
Vate bills, some of which passed.
A message in writing was received from
the President, which recommended an al
teration of the existing laws in order that
the P. Nj. General may provide for carrying
the Pacific Ocean Mails on terms reasonable
aud Just. The several companies and ship
owners declining to perform the service for
the compensation to which the Department
is now restricted.
Sherman, in response to the recommended
ton in the President s message, asked leave to
introduce bill authorizing the extension of
the present contract for the carrying of the
mails between New York and San Francisco,
via Panama, till the end of the next session,
Curtis and others objected.
Blair Of Mo. spoke against ocean service.
The mails could be carried over and daily,
for $780, 900 per annum.
Clarke of n. Y. made an explanation of
this.
Sherman said this satisfied him that the
bill will not accomplish the purpose desired.
He withdrew the bill which Mr.. Wiuslow
reported, and moved a suspension of the
rules to enable him to accomplish it. Dis
agreed to-52 against 60.

Who shall Decide when Doctors
Disag gree:

The st. Anthony Erpress ridicules the
idea that the resolutions adopted by the late
Democratic State Convention,-endorsing
DOUGLAS as the first choice of the party for
the Presidency, and epjoining upon the dele
gates to Charleston to support him so long
as such support may prove available to him,
and for the general interests of the party
amount to instructions.
The Henderson Democrat, which Joined
the Express for weeks before the Convention,
in announcing Instructions, or an expression
of opinion, and which went even to tie ex-
tent of bitter denunciations against DoUG
LAS, and his supporters, now announces the
result of the Convention 10 an article headed
" Douglas Men Elected ;" and introduces
the names Of the delegates with the remark
that the following gentlemen were elected
delegates to the Charleston Convention,
Wih instructions to support the claims OF
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS for the Presidency"
There is evidently screw loose among
the Administration organs. One says the
delegates are instructed, and the other scouts
the idea. Our Senator, when here, organ
izing in person the raid which was made
upon DOUGLAS before our Convention should
have left behind him warrant of attorney
comforting upon some friend the power to
regulate the expression of his mouthpieces
after the Convention. We should be dis
tressed at the idea of any serious discord
occurring among the members Of the "happy
family,''

Slightly Presidential.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes that paper the
following choice bit of news:
Mr.. Buchanan talks quite unreservedly on the
subject Of his re nomination at Charleston. He
thinks that there is no other man who will be SO
acceptable to North and South. and az to his
age, which he, short time since, considered
too advanced to remain longer in public life, he
cites General Scott, who is still older than he.
and who IS quite a prominent candidate tor
the Presidency in 1860. IF Scott is young
enough, am not I?"
Certainly. But there is another difficult
ty If SCOTT is not too old, BUCHANAN is
not old enough! SCorT is BUCHANAN s
senior by quite broad margin. SCOTT
showed admirable discretion recently in the
San Juan matter and it is fair to presume
that when BUCHANAN shall have attained
SCoTrs present age he too will have reached
the years of discretion"

Amendment of the Constitution of tn
United States.

Gov. LETCHER, in his message to the Vir-
ginia Legislature, abiding to the attempts of
several Northern States to defeat the execu-
ton of the fugitive slave law, suggests that a
Convention of all the States be summoned
in order that full and free conference may
be had, to ascertain if the question in con-
troversy cannot be settled on some basis
mutually satisfactory to both sections If
the differences prove to be irreconclable,
then let the question of peaceable separa.
ton be discussed. He recommends that the
Virginia Legislature adopt resolutions in
favor of call for such a convention as is
provided for in the fifth article of the con-
stitution, and appeal to the Legislatures of
the several States to unite in the application
proposed to be made to Congress, in pursu-
ance of the provisions of this article. If the
free States fail or refuse to unite in the ap-
plication, Gov. LETCHER asserts, it will
furnish conclusive evidence of determi-
nation on their part to keep up the present
agitation of the slavery question.
Article S, Sec. l, of the Constitution,
provides for its own amendment in the
manner following, to wit: "The Congress
whenever two thirds of both Houses shall
deem it necessary, shall propose amendments
to this constitution, or, on the application

posing amendments, which in either case
shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as
part of this constitution, when ratified BY
the Legislatures of three-fourths of the
several States, or by Conventions in three
fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode
of ratification may be proposed by the Con.
gress; and that no State

that I. M. Griffith, Esq, the engineer who
built the Suspension Bridge at st. Anthony,
is building bridge over Rum River, at

Thus, it will be seen that, to initiate any
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, two thirds of both Houses of
Congress must concur, or else two.thirds of
the States must make application to Con-
gress for Convention, and the amendments,
whether proposed by Congress or made in
Convention, must, to give them validity,
receive the approval Of three.fourths of all
the States. 1t is quite doubtful, we think,
whether in the present State of the public

The Editor of the Mankato Record desires
us to correct statement made in this paper,
on the authority of Mankato correspondent,
to the effect that he refused to publish the

that such refusal had reference only to an
