DExoCRAuo NOMINEES.
The public and private history of nominees const
suites their eulogy Both now and for years have
been In high places in the government Mr. Breckenridge
an able, intrepid and popular statesman, and General
Lane has written his name upon his countIy's history
and free from expediency clap traps the day They
placed In nomination by the operations Of public
sentiment and not forced upon the public BY the process
sf political machinery They will carry seventeen States
by scclamaton with fair chance for others in addition
REGULARITY NOMINATIONS.
When all other Spcdients fall We are reminded that the
ncfnnaton OF Douglas and johnson Is entitled TO support
the other for lis rguGity; and have observed
that tain gentlemen who regular members OF the
rpocked Buffalo Convention OF ls4s most emphatic in
swearing allegiance to regularity The Convention which
made this nomination had sign show
shAdow of regularity. The delegated Convention at
Charleston had no power " adjourn to Bal: mcrc--a
distance Of hundreds OF miles, IN another state, and
nearly two months afterwards. No such thing was
ooutempated such power discretion delegated
by the most far fetched implications. \ good nomi
nation BatmoA would have been entitled To respest
and support but not the Of regularity FOR had
even the sembsnce Of t. The regular delegations
mr. large number Of States rejected ana bogus
contestants some Of them thout pretencc OF regularity
delegated authority admitted In their places,
while regular delegations from numerous other statcs,
because Of this outrage, withdrew and this pretended
regular Convention fraction OF partly but
not wholly filled up with unauthorized persons from the
outside Il acted in violation OF the uniform rule Of dc
mocratic National Conventions, which II had itself
ADOPTED, requiring two thirds % nominate and then
dsregarded Il in making the nominations for at time
a
two thirds vote lts nominee for Vice President
Mr. Fitzpatrick, who declined 10 accept such a
Ron nation, and the regularity Of ar Johnson, VINO

adjournment, that he should ruin snd which request
seems, he cordially united. (Chcors) The regular
President the Convention Gen Cushing lctt his chair
and went away and presided the Convention which
nominated B- smrdge and Iancso that the regularity
the nomnatos OF DouFas and johnson may be summed
up this that Mr. johnson not and has not yet been
animated by any convention; tina, Mr.. douglas was

body, but a mere skeleton, half son, hall republican
