Which the Ex-Governor has been brougnt mp 10 and

Baltimore put forth the declaration that II would

might at some future day be determined, which was
the next Thing to declaring that the Union men OF
New-York bad no faith Tor rather that Washington
Hurt had none in the Union movement; that they
regarded ii Convention and nominees as gross folly,

The Democrats. Und.r such state Of things, one

that he was not OF of the originators OF the whole
thing, and would have been satisfied with nothing
short The Ex-Governor is Understood to be in
ti.ket in this sta,e--the very poiy which he so
! stouty resisted before he presided over the
Convention. Whether the ex Governor feels
himself constrained to support this policy frotn

! Pretty much everybody j. awaiting, with certain
kind of interest, the action Of The Democrats AT Rich
mold and Baltimore do not think there isany suf-
Gent ground for the reported detection from Douglas
Of tie New-York delegates who supported bin at
Charleston. On the contrary, his support from New
York IL likely 10 be stronger than before aud, as
consequence, the nomination Of DougLs and the run

South ard part Of the North is no, altogether i'm
probable. l persuaded that the number Of Hard

quite equal the Wings and other Nationals who will
