Who is the Nominee?

r. F. Lakenan, of Hannibal, one Of the dele
gates 10 Charleston ana Baltimore, writes 10 the
Hannibal Democrat, to correct its assertions that
Douglas was regularly nominated. Says Mr..
Lakenan:-
At the time the resolution was introduced de-
claring Douglas UNANIMOUSLY nominated, several
delegates in expressing themselves, gave as a rea-
son why the resolution should be adopted, that
there was not two-thirds of the entire electoral
college present taking part in the Convention, and
that from the necessity of the case, they had to
change the rule adopted at Charleston governing
the President in declaring the vote, otherwise
they could make no nominations. This was the
reason of the resolution. and but for this the
oluton would have been meaningless. was put
AMI carried as in mass meeting. The negative
of the resolution was not put to the Convention.
In this am sustained by my co-delegate, MIR.
Shortridge, who was voting in the Convention,
and he will state that he was present and would
have voted against the resolution had the mega
tive been put. As one of the Missouri delegates,

Douglas Sympathizers.

What is better calculated to undeceive the
south as 10 the real effect of Douglas squatter
sovereignty views upon the institution of slavery,
than such expressions of Freesoil sympathy as the
following:
sSPL1r IN MIssoURI.-The ''irrepressible con-
fict'' is driving its powshare through the ranks OF
the Democracy IN Missouri. The regular candi-
dates for Governor and Lieut.. Governor having
declared in favor Of Douglas, the Breckenridge
men have nominated Hancock Jackson for Gov
ernor and NJ. NJ. Parsons for Lieut. Governor
Regarding the Douglas men as our 'Freesoh' al
lies in Missouri, we must regret that this nomlna-
ton by the regulars dlminishes sadly 'heir
chances of successful Lawrence Republican.
The Lawrence Republican office was demoi'
ished by the pro-slavevy men of Missouri. wher
they were in Kansas Territory, settling the slave
~ question on the squatter sovereignty principle

Breckinridge in New York.

There was great breckenridge Ratification
Meeting in New York, a few nights ago. Hon.
Danl. S. Dickinson was the principal Speaker
He was the fayorte of Missouri democrats, for
President, previous TO the meeting of the National
Democratic Convention, and some of them may
desire 10 know where he stands now. To give
them this information, we make single extract
from his speech, which not only shows where he
stands, but shows what he thinks of the Douglas
nomination, and the Douglas adhercnts. Said
Mr.. Dicknson:
The regular President Of the convention, Gen.
Cushing, left his chair and went away, and pre-
sided over the convention which nominated Breck-
Inridge and Lane-so that the regularity of the
nomination of Douglas and johnson may be
summed up in this: that Mr. johnson was not
and has not yet been nominated by any conven-
ton; that Mr.. Douglas was nominated by dele
gates of an irregular fra ctiona, broken up con-
vention, without head, without a democratic
body, but mere skeleton, half soft, half republi-
can State deleg ations aid d bogus tail. No one
pretends that the nominations OF Breckenridge and
Lane have the authority of regular National
convention, according 10 the usages Of the party;
but they have no more clam 10 regularity than
the other. This convention had a head in the
President of the whole convention. II had d
democratic body in the regular delegations from
all the sure democratic States-a majority of the
States of the Union-lt had no bogus extremity,
and it had platform Of manly principIes-of lib
erty, equality and fraternity upon which every
true democrat of the whole Union can stand TO-
gether. The question recurs, what shall we do?
DO! Why, stand resolutely by principle, and let
the storm rage on-thcre is sunshine beyond the
clouds-shun all entanging alliances of every
name and kind The readiest, surest, cpeediest,
most honorable way to success is TO repudate all
fuscns, all factions, all patchwork, all devices,
all expedients, all efforts 10 be upon both sides,
and stand by our ndidates and our creed. We
shall then commence 10 deserve success, and if
we persevere in this stern path of constitutional
rectitude we shall preserve self respect, CON-
mand the respect of all others, and our efforts
will be crowned with triumph for our party and
our principles. the good influences of which will
last when party managers and tricksters and their
vile schemes are forgotten, or remembered only to
be hated and execrated.

by Legislature,

SPEAKING AT CAMsMDGE.-We went over to
Cambridge yesterday, to hear the candidates. The
county candidates spoke before dinner, and We
did not get over in time 10 hear them in full. At
Ter dinner Messrs. Reid and Mitchell, candidates
for Congress, spoke. Capt. Reid led off, and
made one of the best democratic speeches We
have heard for years. Democratic orators. gen.
orally such as it has been our fortune TO listen TO-,
were afflicted with drunkenness, bad humor or
black -guardsm, or all, and it was refreshing to
hear straight forward, decent speech, such as
Capt. Reid delivered. So much for his manner:
his matter was democratic, however, and could
not stand before the eloquence and logic of Mr..
Mitchell, who IS one of the most eloquent and
graceful speakers in the State. He was scorching
on the appeal of the Captain TO the democracy to
stand firm, when the Captain himself refused to
say whether he was Douglas or Breckenridge
democrat. His defence of Bell and Everett was
mastery piece of work, and if excelled al all, il
vas by his dissection of Douglas squatter-soVe.
reign-free soil-demOcracy.
We have not time for further remarks. Mitch
ell will be triumphanty elected, as will the Uuior
ticket in Saline.
