The Union Spirit in Missouri--ReIl
and Everett.

There IS no mistaking the direction in
which the current of popular feeling is be-
ginning to set in Missouri. nor the significance
OF the cordial aud hearty unanimity that pre-
yades the ranks of the Union Opposition par
ty. While the hitherto united Democracy is
hopelessly divided by an irreconcilab!e dis
sension, into Douglasites and Anti-Doug-
lasites, each hating the other with all the i'm
placnble bitterness of personal feud
the Union men at the very sound of the
names OF Bell and Everett, fall with exultant
shouts, into rank and are ready for the cam
paign. They are united as one man. They
know no enemy but their old foes, and ey-
cry Impulse; feeling and sentiment conoen-
trate in an ardent, answering devotion to
the Ipbie patriots whose names compose our
ticket. Throughout the state. in eyerv eouu-
ty, the old spirit that exhibited itself SO glo-
riOusly in the last gubernatorial race, under
Rollins, is rousing up, with an emphasis and
resolution which show that it has lost none
of its former visor. bat is prepared 10 enter
the field with even more confident hopes of
rredeeming the State from the debasing tbran
dom of Democracy than in the contest of
1857.
There is no hesitation i'm the support
which the opposition in the interior ac-
cord to Bell and Everett. The names of Lin
coin and Hamlin excite no other emotion
than disgust. outside of ST. Louis, even here,
it requires incessant appeals and all the arti-
fetal devices OF Climb organizations, to pre-
vent the Republicans from lapsing into ute
indifference. In the country, all who voted

Ihe 1olIowlng despatch TO tue CINCINNATI
Commercial gives the latest speculations, &C.,
as to the proceedings at Baltimore this week.
WASHINGTON, June Is.
A host of Democratic politicians are con-
centrating here. The Washington hotels are
excessively full.
There is great and singular confusion of
rumors. The Douglasites are very conf
dent, and his opponents bitter. The Ad-
ministration encourages a disruption of the
party if they cannot defeat Douglas. The
Douglasites will try hard to start early at
Baltimorr.
Their tactics arc not to drive off the whole
crowd OF fire eaters, so as to make the ad-
journed Richmond Convention ineffectual.-
Therefore they will not oppose the seecders
taking their seats on the floor, and to get up
an excuse for the Southern men 10 stay with
| them, will consent to AID compromise res
olution to the platform.
The iire-eaters declare their indifference as
| to their admission. They are rather anxious
that the Douglasites should be insulting, so
as to draw off IA greater fol e with them when
| they go.
| Douglas friends appreciate this point, and
| will try to cOnciliate the fire-eaters, and do
| the job in workmaulike manner.
TIE South suffered at Charleston from
bad Tactics. They will have the benefit of
old experienced Congressional fighters at
| Baltimore.
| Ny impression is that Douglas will be nom-
mated at Baltimore.
The New York vote will be decisive, and
Douglas gains two votes by Fowler's dafalca-
ton. Douglas gains also in the change
of delegates by the pre- sure of these regulars
at Baltimore, who had substitutes at Charles
| ton.
| If Douglas is nominated there will GER
| tainly be another candidate : most likely
Gen. Joe Lane. of Oregon. There is a
prevalent imp; ession, howeT r, that the Gov
| ernment is about 10 pass into the hands of the
Republicans. This is, indeed, almost con-
ceded.
| The Baltimore Convention must last five
days, and probably the entire week. Mon
! day will pass in buncomb speeches. Tues
day, the committee on credentials will be
heard from. ALI OF Wednesday at least will
be spent on the smendation of the platform
Thursday, trial ballotiLg. Friday, nominal
tion.
| Pierre Soule, John Forsyth. and other
strong Southern men are here for Douglas
Florida, South Carolina and Texas will not
be represented at Baltimore. No fight will
be made against the seats of the Mississippi
delegates. The great fight will come on
contesting the seats and of the double dele
cations from Georgia, Alabama and Louisi-
ana

Interesting. from Washington.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, June Ia.
To Tie Editors Of The Cincinnati E5aquirer:

To the Editors Of Tho Cincinnati Enquirer;
The city is crowded with delegates to Bal
timore, and those of the adjourned Richmond
Convention who have come on to consult
with the prominent public men. The enc
mics of Judge Douglas are active and untir-
ing. hui his friends feel strong enough to de-
fly all their Vaccinations.
Occasional" OF the Philadelphia Press,
says, that the opponents of Douglas will
make an earnest stand to defeat him at BAL
timore, is apparent on all sides. Mr.. Slidel,
Mr.. Bright, Mr.. Benjamin. and Mr.. Bayard
will be early in the field. The latter having
been reelected, and expecting TO get his seat
without objection, is relied upon TO lead the
Admi forces inside, while the gen.
tlemen named will marshal them outside.
General Cushing i.as i.cc closeted with
these gentlemen for two days past. and al
though extremely sensitive ut the attacks
which have been made upon him. and greatly
disturbed by the newly-awakenCd feeling for
Douglas in New England, he has gone too
r to retreat. Since he left Char lesion those
served there have shown no signs of repent
ance or of moderation. They will hold him
sternly TO his record.
Yesterday the Vice-President's room was
quite levee, which was attended by Senator
BigIer, General J. l.. Dawson. W. II. Witte
Alfred Gilmore, of Pennsylvania, and d..
Texas. aud Others General Dawson, who has
been designated to throw the vote of Penn
sylyania in the National Convention. was
sure he could get unit vote Tor Breckenridge
from Pennsylvania at Baltimore, after few
ballots for Douglas. Mr.. Witte thoughtDoug-
las would he nominated, aud Mr.. Wigfail in
dictated his determination to stump Texas
against him if he was. The .c--President
being indisposed, was serious ard silent.
The Corode Committees testimony will
make terrific volume. Among the interest
ing evidence impeaching Mr.. Buchanan's Ad-
minisiration is letter from Judge Black to
former United States Marshal. Davidson OF
Illinois, some two years ago, demanding OF
him TO oppose Douglas for United States SEN
ator. even to the extent of helping the Re-
pubicans. For refusing to do SO Davidson
was removed. This letter has made the Black
