81 The Baltimore Convention assemblies
today. All authorities agree that there will
De warm time, and some predict q worse
explosion than that which took place at
Charleston. The impression has gained
ground, the past few days, that the Conven
'lon cannot agree upon any basis of compro-
mise, and two candidates will most likely be
the result. Both interests are more hostile
than when they separated before, and each
charges the other with the responsibility OF
that rupture. One thing is pretty sure
Douglas cannot be nominated under the two
thirds rule by full Convention, though
his friends will try to move heaven and earth
to accomplish it. 81
Contesting delegations will appear from
Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. Florida
South Carolina I'D Texas will not be repre-
scented. The Washington correspondent o.
the Cincinnati Commercial says the Conven
uon must last five days, and probably tn.
entire week. He lays out the following pro
gramme: MONDAY will pass in buncomb'
speeches. Tuesday, the Committee on Gre
dentials will be heard from. All of Wednes
day, at least, will be spent on the amendmen
OF the platform. Thursday. trial balloting

GREELEY's LErrsR.-Ihe much-talked.o
letter of Horace Greeley to Mr.. Seward
written in 1854, when. both were members o.
the Wing party, has been published entire
1t is filled with winnings and bitter complain
'ngs, charging Mr.. Seward with ingratitude
and Partially in distributing official patronage
1t his command. Mr.. Greeley seems 10 have
written under tie stings Of bitter disappoipt-
.nent, and shows considerable spite towards
rhurlow Weed and Henry J. Raymond,
whom he regards as the especial favorites Of
Mr.. Seward. He claims, in short, to have
oeen selected to do all the hard work for the
party, but, when any favors were to be
bestowed, they were lavished upon those who
lid not deserve them, while he was neglected
md forgotten. He strongly hints that, at one
lime, the Post Office at New York would have
oeen acceptable to him. The letter is unworthy
# the reputation given Mr.. Greeley by the
public as a man of exalted views and dis
in his labors for the cause Of
humanity and equal rights. As . cotemporary
remarks, it is the old story Of ''Mordecai
sitting at the Kings gate" in which the
of the Tribune played the part Of
Haman. The letter shows that Greeley's
opposition to Seward at Chicago was based
upon personal considerations. The discussion
# this gus stion in the papers is what brought
out the letter at this time. As the public
aave now all the facts, it is hoped the
discussion will be dropped.

[Reported for the journal. !

'@@ Douglas Prospects, &c.
BALTIMORE, June 16.
The city is rapidly flling-up. The Doug
las feeling is intensified in opposition since
the Oh ,rleston Convention. Several warm
controversies, nearly leading to personal col
lisions, have already been bad between prom
inent men on the several sides.
The Douglas men calculate on an increas-
ed vote for him, at all events on the third or
fourth ballot, and it seems certain that they
will hold their own on the earlier ballots.
A notice is posted at the hotels stating
that delegations desiring admission to the
hall Of the Convention will apply to Caleb
Gushing to morrow, rendering it absolutely
certain that Mr.. Gushing has decided to take
the power of issuing cards into his own
hands, and will give admission to the seced
ing delegations. ..t,,. -.

seceders remain in denying the right Of thu

Another Lie Nailed.


The Democratic papers are circulating .
story oonsoeted long since and exploded nj
the time, TO the effect that Mr.. Lincoln, ss q
member Of Congress during the Mexican
War, distinguished himself by his opposit'on
10 the war, taking the side Of the common
enemy sgsins. his own country. The charge,
though boldly and permanently maue, is
known BY all intelligent men to be IN in
famous ixlsshood. MIR. Lincoln was not 10
Congress- when the bills for the Mexican
var supplies were before that body, but hue
district WAS repre-, ntsd BY tut FLOODED

these supplies. This story was hrst started
during the oanvsss between Lincoln and
douglas in 1858, at . time when it was
thought the s'ltlls giant was in danger.
and it Was repeated by Douglas himself in
Ms debate With Inooin at Ottawa, and else
at Charleston. The Chicago Tribune proved
.ss falsity BY extracts from the Co''gress'o"a
lG!o6s, showing that after Mr.. Lincoln tool

that was offered to raiee supplies for thu
American army in Mexico. 1t was also
denied by Mr.. Lincoln both ct Ottawa ant

him to give reluctant 'imony to tn
