The proceedings at Baltimore-the factious
character of both Conventions, the recklessness
of principles, and the selfish devotion to men
which marked th,ir action, have demorslized
the party and disgusted the country There
will be at the outset some little enthusiasm at
the nomination of Douglas, but it will not be
ba cked up by any earnest convention of his
superior qualifications for the place, or any con-
tdeut expectation of his success in teaching it.
The action ut Baltimore has very greatly in
creased the chances Of Lincoln's election, by
convincing the county that the Republican
party, while it is no more sectionsl, is much
more compact, and better able 10 assume the
responsibilities of administering the Govern
ment than any other.
[From tho Baltimore American, IS
The distinguishing characteristic of the two
nominations is that each is strong as against
the ..other. AS against Mr. Douglas in the
North, Mr.. Breckinridge can only hopelessly
divide the Democrat tic party. Whilst in the
South, with Mr.. Breckinridge formally and au-
thoritstively nominated by majority OF dele
gates from the Southern States, it may be taken
forgranted that Mr. Douglas cannot receive from
that section OF the country single electoral
vote. IT, therefore, the battle is fought out up.
on the programme indicated by the present po-
tition OF the conteHding forces, the election OF
the Republican candidate Is a foreordained
certainty; only 10 be avoided by the determin.
alton of The conservative masses of the Demo
cratic party to allow their leaders to fight out
the battle in which they have engaged whilst
the people unite in grand national effort to
elect Bel and Everett.

It was immensely funny on Saturday night to
mark The rejoicings OF the Douglas Democrats
over the nomination OF Douglas and Fitzpatrick,
and the rejoicings of the Anti-Douglss Demo-
Gratis over the nomination Of Breckinridge and
and Lsne The two factions both knowing
that they had no chance IN the world tried
which should kindle the biggest Btndfres, which
should utter the noisiest' shouts, and which
should shoot the nolSiest cannon. They remin-
ded us OF two bantam cocks trying to outcrow
each other IN the barnyard, or two rival dinner
bells trying to outring each other at an eating
station upon railroad.

Our full tclegrsphic dispatches bring the glo-
riOus tidings that Bre ckinridge has been nOmi-
mated by the National Democratic Convention
at Baltimore, for President and Lane for Vice
President. There is no isi in this ticket. 1t is
one TINT will be indoTed by every patriot in
the lsud, These nominations are a dea th blow
TO Douglas and to his sqlatter sovereignty doc
trinrs They were made by a Convention com
posed Of large majority ofell the States, and so
far as we are now informed Of a majority of all
the delegates. Those eft in the Rump Con-
ver ton represent States that will, in nearly
every instance, give their votes for Black Re-
publicans, md can well be spared.
Writing as our paper is going 10 press, we
have only time 10 congratulate the people on the
nomins tion, and to heartily indorse Breckinridge
and Lane.
From the Louisville Courier, June &C. Dem.l
Some Democrats who have not carefully
surveyed the field are disposed TO concede the
election of Lincoln as the inevitable result of
the detection of Douglas and his friends from
the Democratic parry. Things look badly, we
confess, and a Black Republican triumph is
grest tly to be feared; bnt still we have stroRg
reasons to hope and believe 30 disastrous ca
lamity as the election of q sectional President
will be averted.
To begin with. California add Oregon may be-
regarded as perfectly safe for Breckinridge and
Lane. Pennsy ylvsnia and New Jersey have al
ways been among the most conservative States
in the Union. Breckinrdge has always enjoyed
a large measure Of popularity in both of them,
and with Lanes great strength added TO his
own. We have a strong faith that true union
and conservative feeling will give the votes of
both those States to cur candidates, These
with united South will elect them easily.
But many persons say Douglas will receive
enough votes in Kentucky. Tennessee, Virginia
aud Maryland, to give those States to Bell an1
Everett, and that even some other Southern
States will be rendered doubtful. They msgn
