puJiicaus are TO manufacture enthusiasm
for breckenridge At Bloomington, in
this State. where there are VIGOROUSLY not
three Breckenridge mon i'll the city, they
actually got out the big gun and fired 100
rounds, telegraphing it over the country
;,s a genuine Breckenridge demonstration.
Tho same game was played al Madison,
Wisconsin, and at Albany, y. !.
Vt It Louis the thing was attempted to
be managed more adroitly. One or two
travelling Breckenridge orators were known
to be at the Planters House, and band
was quietly hired to 60 and serenade them.
This was expected TO attract a crowd, who
were then to be harangued by these ora
tors The plan worked to charm until
the orator appeared but when he struck
up the tune for Breckenridge the crowd
commenced hurrahing and calling for
Douglas speakers, nor could they be per
suaded to desist until the BIeckenridse
sr,nad retired in disgust

and was therefore returned to him. Part
. OF the Missouri delegation Withdrew, part
Of Tennessee. North Carolina, all Oregon,
one from CALIFORNIA; &c The Convention
then voted to proceed 10 bailoting when
Nj Cushing arose and announced his with
drawal from the Chair. and that Mr. Todd
of Ohio, Vice President, would take his
place. The announcement Vas received
with prolonged applause, ard cries Of

The Chicago Democrat, with more candor
than most Of its republican cotemporares
dare evince, comedies that instead of being
weakened. the fact that Douglas is aban-

great strength in the North" And it will
give him great strength in the North still
