their rights, interests and honor, were thus unjualy
invaded. -.


We believe that before six weeks roll round 1t VIII be
universally acknowledged; that broad ana eqii.aoe
platform Of principles will be laid down by the Na'onsi
Democracy of the Union on which Northern ana
Southern men can alike confidently stand; that 'ne
Democratic banner will be given to the breeze WIN All
eta tirnc-hororcd notices inscribed in letters OF living
light upon ts ample folds and that standard-oearer
will BE- selected who " would sooner be rght tiiah DC
PRESIDENT" to whom ambition and power ana iame
are ALWAYS subordinate to honor and principle, ana III
whom all classes and sections Of the Democracy can
repose implicit confidence.
From The Chicago Timt'--tMr Dorglas'' orsan.)
When the intelligence was first received herethat inc
Charleston Convention had adjouned TO meet again 81
Baltimore we warned our Democratic readers through
ont the State to beware of the attempts that would be
made in Illinois to nure Judge Douglas. Wecautioned
the Democracy against the attempts that would be
made by the Danitcs and the other agents Of Slidel
and Bright 10 get up an opposition here at home 10
stepben A. Douglas. Our caution, which we confess
was predicated upon general estimate OF the men
who compose the Dante party, was not unnecessary
he mask is thrown Off disgnlse II abandoned, ana Tue
Dans OF Chicago and their confederate are busy at
work III their business. The State Convention meets
in June next; it meets Jeore the reasscnblng OF the
National Convention at Baltimore IL ~ ,hc design OF
these men to get as delegates into the State Con-
venion rs possible, and there, THEY ARE TO DE-
CLARE against DOUGLAS, and thus seek to weaken the
now unanimous voice OF the Democracy OF Illinois.
Democrats OF Illinois, be careful OF this mean but per-
fecy Characteristic trick Beware Of the men who
are seeking TO get on your County Committees, and
your county organizations. The scheme ~ boasted OF
publicly by TIE Danites here that VIII be carried
out essfuy In Chicago there has been for months
a gang of men waiting with anxiety for Douglas to be
killed nj Charleston They had their cannon prepared
10 fire n salute the nomination of another caadf-
Gate they had Therapeutics written in which Douglas
WAS 10 be declared very line man, but not man VINO
could unite the Democratic vote They bad candl-
date for Governor, who, not being Douglas man. was
to be urged upon the State Convention az one who
could unite all factions. Douglas was not killed
ut Charlefton. The prospect Of his nomination was
brilliant as now. Ffty-One OF his opponents,
unable 10 defeat him fairly, abandoned the Convention.
In their places at Baltimore will be found other dele
gates Democrats WHO, representing the Union senti-
ment of the South, will vote for Douglas.
From The Madam (Ui,) Patriot
The friends Of Judge Douglas have everything TO
hore and nothing fear by the adjournment to Bali-
more and giving the Democratic masses full time to
let their delegates know what their wishes and feelings
are in the premises. Meanwhile the Opposition Con-
yent;on, comvosed Of Kn0w-Nothings, South Amer
cans and Od- inc Wings will meet at Baltimore onthe
9Th Of this month"; hoping to present some name for the
Presidency that the Republicans ut their Convention az
Chicago On the 10Th win adopt. We shall see how
this billing and cooling will come ou-ths 6dckey and
IrhIfcy kissing in the dark.
The friends of Stephen A. Douglas are, az they
slould be- ioyOus and iublan Their fayoritc carried
majority ct the entire electoral vote in the Conyen-
Cn; while Guthrie, who was next highest, carried but
little over oneffh Of the vote his highest ballot,
which was co. votes out Of total Of OJ. Four years
ego hen Dir. Buchanan reached majority of the
Convention, Judge Douglas promptly telegrdphed To
his friends Withdrawing his name a candidate, and
urging tie nomination of Buchanan-and it was
promptly done. Ii now remains 10 be seen whether
The fame unselfsh generosity will be extended to

From The CiaeiHa0d Jqui,er
If the Southern delegates could have been in the
North during the tendency OF the Convention, and
the JOY which the Republicans manifested when
Mr. Douglass prospects couded, and their gloom
when they were bright they would have hesitted
a moment in their choice. After the many battles
which Mr. Douglas has fought for the Constitutional
rights of the South, opposition TO him and his friends
from that quarter seeKs the hight OF ngratitude and
injustice.
We rely upon the appeal TO the people Of the South,
which has been made and anticipate bis nomina
ton at Baltimore OF the cerinties of the future.
1t is not question of men, but of principle. Shall
few bullying and clustering secesslOnlss and dsun-
onsis be able to thwart the emphatic expression of
majority OF the Democratic citizens OF the United States,
and thus annihlae the very idea upon which gov
eminent il based We gay no. never
From The Boston Herald
One Of the most gratifying features of the late Con-
venton is that the traitors have shown their hands
and PLAYED themselves out. The friends OF Douglas
held the right and left bowers backed by the nee, and
the LaaRce all trumps; while those who thought they
could go it alone have got euchred. The delegates
bring the most cheering accounts from the Southern
States, WHO pledged themselves to atone at Baltimore
for the mistakes made at Charleston, by Faying 10 the
support of Stephen A. Douglas In the mean time,
let tie people watch the traitors. All honor the del
egat.s from New-llampehire who were true in every
emergency. The question, Tar the Platform s
concerned, is now settled, and settled empaatlcaliy.
No new doctrine will he Incorporated INTO the Dem0-
cratic creed and those Northern aen who have played
toady to Southern anatcism, and given the Southern
extremists to understand that the Northern delegates
would back down and submit T. anything which might
he required of hem have proved 10 be .lse prophets
though their Misrepresentation have TO doubt de-
ceiNtd Southern men and led them on TO the suicidal
course of seeding. We are aseGfcd, however, that
the seceders will not be sustained by their constituents
but will send delegates to Baltimore who viii more
truly represent them. We shall gee.
From The Albany Aaas ss! Argus.
II is not pretended in any quarter, so far MS we
know and we presume il viii not be alleged that the
Convention, in its platform, far relates to the
subject OF Slavery, asserted any political hcrey 1t
simply reaaImed the Cincinnati Platform. No Dem
ocra,s North or South repudate that. They all stood
On in 1856 and all now recognize sound doctrine
1t is true there s difference of opinion in relation to
the Interpretation of portion Of it, But the recent
Convention did not pretend to give it an interpretation
IL left all Democrats free exercise their own opinions
ard their own liberty in that respect. Ii simply de-
oined to give il the Interpretation which portion Of
the delegates urged, and that refusal docs not even
imply that the Convention thought that Interpretation
wrong. All that can be egitinatey conferred from it
is that the Convention did not deem il wis, to enter
upon the work Of settling disputed interpretation
Tie Convention does not therefore stand obnoxious
to The charge Of having adopted usound doctrine or
sf ggf tnis,.
