THE ADJOURNED. DEMOCRATIC NArIoy.1 Cow.
VENrIoN-We need hardly state that the parti-
Ldns OF Senator Douglas, here and elsewhere. are
moving heaven and earth, as it were, to commas
the exclusion from the ad journed Democratic Ma
tonal Convention, ofthe delegations from the ee ht
extreme Southern States who sat in the same Com
ventlon at Charleston. One and all they freely
admit that such is their purpose because all hone
OF even the pretence of Democratic nomination
OF Douglas hinges upon its success Msnv ,round
us seem to fear its success in which belief w.
not share, because, If il succeeds its succes, ,yilI
make assurance doubly sure that Douglas, TIM.
dominated, Will not receive single electoral vote
In November next. The first consequence of its
success cannot fail to be the withdrawal from tn.

EDITOR OF The STAR notice that an evening
paper Of this city of Tuesday last makes the as
sertion that Maine had held a convention and
mass meeting, and instructed the delegates of
that State to vote for Douglas This is mistake
Maine has held no State Convention. A district
convention Of Douglas men had the effrontery to
pass resolutions Of instruction, which will have
about as much weight with the delegates as the
men composing the convention have with the
people. MAINE.

NEW DENOMINATIONS OF POSTAGE SrAMrs-
In order to facilitate the prepayment Of postage
on letters addressed to foreign countries, and TO
avoid the necessity Of afixing thereto large
number Of stamps, which would in some in
stances increase the weight so as to subject the
letters to additional postage, the Department has
ordered the issuing Of new stamps of the denomi-
nation of al, 80, and 90 cents respectively. The
24cent stamps will be ready for strbution NEXT
week, the 3O-cent stamps soon thereafter, and the
SO-cent stamps as soon as they can be procured.

The GOVERNMENT AQUEpucT.-We learn, with
deep regret, that yesterday tie (House) Committee
Of WAYS and Means refused TO recommend the
concurrence of the body of which il is the fnan-
cial organ in the recent action of the Senate ap-
propriating s5OO,OOO for the completion of the
Government NV ashine toni Aqueduct, than which
the completion Of no other public work is of more
pressing importance to the future of the Govern
ment's interest here. The disinclination of the
majority Of the Committee of Ways and Means to
making the appropriation is alleged to have
grown out Of their apprehension that, If made
the workmen that will be assembled in conse-
quence of 1t will be drilled into solid political
force, and voted after the fashion in which that
was done with some five or six hundred Of the
hands employed upon the same work, in the
Washington municipal election two years ago
on this occasion, in the Maryland general election
to come off in November next
For our part, we apprehend no such conse.
quences at this time which we need hardly assert
would, IL attempted, meet as hearty reprobati on
from the Star as from any Opposition journal in
the country for all know well that we oppose the
connection of those employed on the Government
or Corporation works here with politics, a,
earnestly with our own political friends in power
as when the American party welded our Corpo.

privileges.

again occur, because very certain that the atten

MEXICO.

II the statements of the Vera Cruz papers in re-
latOn TO the mediation between the Church and
Popular parties, lately proposed by France and
England, are to be relied upon some result may
yet be expected from it. In reference to the En-
gish propositions it is stated that Juarez agreed to
the proposed armistice and the assembling of a
National Convention but preferred rather to leave
to that assembly itself the question Of civil and re-
ligious liberty. The French propositions included
only the armistice and the Convention. They
were rejected by Juarez, but We are told, rather
from personal dislike to the medium, NJ. de Cab
rac, the French Minister, through whom they were
made, than from any objection to the proposals
themselves, which, indeed, in the reply made to
the English naval commander, had already been
accepted. AS NJ. de Gabriac has been recalled and
a new Minister appointed in his place, this diff
Guilty would seem TO be removed.
Both parties TO the contest are so short of
that their disposition for further hostilities
must be good deal dampened. Juarez still has
some hopes that the ratification of the McLane
treaty may yet put him in funds and that probably
is the explanation of his delay in accepting the
proposed attempt at peaceful solution of the
pending struggle. When he finds that the treaty
cannot be ratified and that any expectation of
money from that source must be relinquished, he
viii probably come into the proposed arrangement
for new National Assembly. 1t seems to be
pretty certain that, if Mexico is to have peace,
some middle term must be hit upon between the
unrestricted domination of the Church and the army
on the one side, and the extreme democracy of the
Juarez Constitution.
