OUR SPECIAL BA, TrMoRE DESPATCH.
AraoRE, June II, 1850
When the news Of the propoed sale of Douglas by the
Albany regency reached Baltimore from Washington, this
morning, there was tremendous exctem,nt among the
Douglas portion proper of the New York delegation
Zone denounced the treachery and others refused
10 believe il, swearing that the nomination of
Douglas was as fixed fate--as for the re-
gency they denied II point blank, because they had
been Immediately before oongratuating the real friends
OF Douglas that they had game and boosted that
the gain in the delegation for Douglas from 70
nine votes since the Charleston Convention. But 1t Is
nevertheless that the Regency have been negotiating
the subject Washington yesterday, and have been
engaged In the business here today. They want
the South TO propose Seymour; and then with it's votes
in favor OF him, how could New York stand In
the way Of the elevation OF her son even for Mr.
Douglas. The argument is irresistible But if
this game is played with Douglas there will be
another secesson-the secession of the Northwest a
statedhat this Is accordance with the wishes Of the
LitsleGiant himself. On Friday night caucus S>s held
at his house when he agreed u bet the northwest have
its vay was decided that he should be nominated
assni hazards If not by two thirds, then BY majority,
or;breakup the Convention BE is to be nominated by
resolution.
II Misunderstood Mr. Cushing will object to this not
being a regular democratic nomination; but he will
be- ocourse overruIed and be will perhaps be found at
last wthkhe Southern men at Richmond
When the nomination is thus carried, then the Ten
nesscesoution will be proposed but II will not satisfy
the South.
Some.ofheovirgnia delegation intend 10 propose two
resolutions excuse for their remaining in the Con-
ventou They in substance as follows
Frst-The decisions Of the Supreme Court the sub
ject of slavery in the Territories binding on all
secondf the people the authorities of Territory
dsobeyhe decisions Of the Supreme Court then II is the
duty Congress to annu the organic act and reduce to
the direct government Of the United States
This wiltbe3pressed against Douglas as his own doc
trne promulgated at Springfield, when he said that
the Mormon difficulty ought to be got rid Of that
way; but from all I can learn this resolution
will not satisfy the cotton States and will hardly please
the friends OF Douglas, who are nibbling at it.
senatorlason is here counseng the Virginia delcga-
ton to stand by the other Southern States opposition
Of thirty are in favor Of Douglas Mason get new
lease Of his and he backs the seceders and the South
Charles w. Russell, of Wheeling, chairman Of the dele
cation wants this place, and takes the opposite track
and is therefore working hard against the secession
ment.
Some Of the Georgans say that II any delegate from
their State should for Douglas he will be driven out
of Georgia II he dares to return.
The bogus Alabama delegates have offered 10 compro
mise with the regular delegates by admitting hafof EACH
but the proposition was rejected.
Te vote upon the admission OF the seeding delegates
NAV be regarded as Of the harmony or breaking up
of the Convention and also of the fate Of Douglas the
New York delegation intend to slaughter him they will
vote to admit the seeding delegates If not, they will
vote TO reject them
But the policy Of the Douglas Is to cause them
10 10 out voluntarily rather than to reject them, and this
may be done either by attempting TO pledge them to
stand by action OF the Convention upon the aucs
,oo Of the PLATFORM or on the nomination Of Douglas
The truth is the New xork politicians, who smell the
spos arc greatly embarrassed by the Southern delegates
Offering 10 return, sent back they have been by
the regular democracy. On the other hand they admit
| them their plans will be deranged.
In the case Of the New England delegations there Is
gain for Douglas OF votes one delegate has
since been instructed 70 vote for Douglas but viii not
obey A point is TO be raised this In connection
there said 70 be gain for him Of vote and half In
| Massachusetts, there Is o loss OF half q vote.
Rhode Island Is the same, but New Hampshire, IL Is
stated, viii vote against him a unit still Maine ex.
| pec,ed 10 vote as a unit for him.
The bnerest feeling prevails between the North and
| South. The crowds and the excitement immense
Angry discussions in the streets. There viii be nothing
done but the appointment oil Committee on
| Credentials to report the contested seats
Is generally believed that both sets OF delegates win
be rejected This the knotty point upon which very
| much depends.
The Richmond Convention is 10 assemble the 21st,
but the seeding delegates will probably remain here ill
| the nomination is made.
Is understood that the South Carolina delegation will
meet and adjourn from day TO day till the delegates
rive.
