accept Seymour.
Mr.. Richardson Of Illinois has res
olution to add to the platform, to con-
ciliate the South.
We take the following from the Wash
ington dispatches of the New York
Herald:
The friends of Mr.. Douglas say that
on the first ballot be will have one hun
dred and fifty votes, and that ultimately
he will have one hundred and eighty
votes. They calculate upon six votes
from North Carolina, and some also from
Tennessee. Virginia is their chief re-
lance, for they expect it to go as a unit
for Douglas; but they made the same
calculation at Charleston, and did not get
those votes.
/ am assured that the North Carolina
delegation win leave the Convention if
the seeding delegates are not admitted,
and twenty-three of the Virginisns are
pledged to the same course. In truth,
it is probable that the whole Of the South
ern delegations will in that event secede.
Mr.. Douglas would then be nominated
without any difficulty, but it would be as
sectional as the nomination of Lincoln.
1t is asserted positively by the friends
Of Mr.. Douglas that letters have been
received by him from the Albany Re-
gency within few days, saying that the
New York delegation will stick to him
to the last. On the contrary, others ex-
pect that after voting for Douglas sever
al ballots, they will desert him and take
up another man. In that event the
friends of Douglas will prevent the NOM
ination of Lane, because of his avowed
hostility to the Illinois Senator. Lane
is the favorite candidate of the seceders.
The candidate Of the Douglas men for
Vice President will be Hershell p.
johnson, of Georgia. Stephens will be
thrown overheard because be is not SO
popular as johnson.
The outside pressure in favor Of
Douglas will be tremendous. Most OF
the Southern delegations are still here.
Several Western delegates are also in
Washington. They will delay their de-
parture for Baltimore to the latest mo-
ment, as the caucusing can be be done
better here. Numerous caucuses are
being held, but nothing can be finally
fixed till the delegates all see each other
at Baltimore

patches
The leading friends of Mr.. DougIa:
announce that if the Georgia delegates
are admitted at Baltimore they will Sc.
cede from the Convention, and immedi.
ately organize independently. Thi:
threat will not attract any support, ant
may repel it.
IT the Convention should be regularl,
organized, Notwithstanding these obsta
cles, and both factions agree to proceed
to balloting. the Administration will en-
deavor to concentrate on Breckenridge
His nomination, however, is wholly i'm
: practicable, while Kentucky maintain
her preference for Guthrie, as expressed
at Charleston, without radical chang,
of opinion, no united nomination need b.
E anticipated. One side or the other mus
D completely surrender to achieve it,
a From the New York Courier and En-
quirer's Washington correspondence:
George Sanders and Colonel Rich
y ardson, both of whom are here, asser
that Mr.. Douglas will have thirty-fiv
more votes on the first ballot, on Monday
2 in Baltimore, than he had at the last on
in Charleston. If this calculation is cor
rect, the chances for the nomination c
MIR. Douglas are better than have bee
= supposed. A significant fact is mention
ed in this connection. 1t is that Nj
Yancey and other leading Southern de
II egates refuse to address public meeting
It until after the Convention. 1t is believe
a by many that the seceders are preparin
to yield graceful support to Douglas
n be is nominated, Notwithstanding thei
e buster. cannot credit this, howeve
b but ] do believe they would be yer
1t willing to allow him to indicate th
l. Southern man whom they should supper
s. even upon the platform adopted +.
