Political Conventions.

Several important political Conventions
are neld in the coming month, and large
number of delegates are appointed to the
Charleston Convention for the nomination
of President and Vice President of the
United States. Ohio has her Democratic
State Convention FOR this purpose on the
9Th of January, 1860. Illinois elects on the
4th of January, Kentucky on the 9th of
January, Indiana on the 18th of January,
Minnesota on the 18th of January, and
Tennessee on the 18th of January. These
States send one hundred and fifty delegates
to Charleston, which is about one quarter of
the whole number. Nearly all of these
States will send DOUGLAS delegates, and
instruct for him. After January the popu-
lar ball will have acquired such an impetus
that the politicians who are opposed to
DOUGLAS nomination will see the impotency
of their efforts.

Hon. JOHN G. BRECKINRIDGE, the Vice
President of the United States. delivered on
the 2lst ult., at Frankfort, KY, an able
and exhaustive speech upon national affairs.
His audience was large and profoundly
attentive. Mr.. BREcK1NR1DGE, as pre-
liminary topic, required to the history of
territorial legislation. and justified his vote
in favor of the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise line, and in support of the Kansas
Nebraska BILL He endorsed the views of
the United States Supreme Court upon the
rights of slavery 10 the Territories the
bred Scott decision, and with the bred
Scott decision he regarded the territorial
issue as settled. The Territories, whether
North or South of the erased line, will be
peopled by slaveholding or non>slaveholding
communities, without regard to political or
federal influence. In regard to the present
condition of national politics, the tone of
the Vice President was respondent. The
great danger to the Union lies, he thought,
in the existence of Republican party,
whose principles, avowed three years since,
have long been abandoned in the heat of
anti-slavery feeling, and others involving
direct war upon slavery, not only in the
Territories, but in the States. substituted.
To sustain this, Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE quoted
from Mr.. Stewards Rochester speech, and
from Helpers compendium; alluded to
the Republican approval of the latter COM
pilation; and confessed that he saw no hope
of salvation to the Union, so long as the
Republican organization continued to exist
The only redeeming aspect to Northern
society is the existence of the party Loyalty
devoted to conservative measures. In con-
clusion, Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE exhorted the
South to keep itself strictly within consti
tutional obligations, and in that connection
denounced the efforts of those who were
laboring for the restoration of the slave
trade. The speech will be read with pro-
found interest, independently of the respect
cue to the digni6ed official position of the
orator.
