POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.

The friends of Douglas are moving, in Washing
ton City and elsewhere, with great deal Of spirit
and activity. We learn from the Washington
States-the metropolitan organ of the Douglas
wing Of the Democracy that a.. National Execu-
tive Committee has been formed there, consisting
of one member from each of the thirty.tHee
States of the Union and also a Resident Campaign
Committee, consisting Of nine members, whose
duty 1t viii be to stay In Washington during the
canvass, send or documents, and otherwise look
after the interests Of Mr.. Douglas.
The Chairman oi the g ExecntiveH Committee is
August Belmont, Of New York. The member for
Louisiana is Dr.. Coflman. OF Donaldsonville-
Arkansas, Major Fiournoy-for Alabama, o. Fl.
Bynnm--f Tennessee, j. Knox Walker. The
names of those fer Mississippi and Texas are not
given.
The Chairman Of the Resident Committee is Mr..
Montgomery Dc Pennsylvania. The remaining
members Of this Committee are Messrs. Pratt of
Connecticut, Craig Of Missouri, Vallandigham Of
Ohio, Rust of Argansas, Taylor of Louisiana, Lar
rabee Of Wisconsin and Banks Of Virginia. Won
der IL this Is Hon. Miles Taylor our Representative
In Congress
The following resolutions were adopted by the
National Committee
| Resolred, That the resident committee be re.
qnested to prepare an address to the Democracy OF
the country giving true history Of the character
and proceedings Of the National Democratic Com
veution, held AT Charleston and Baltimore and the
4 secessions therefroD.
Resolced, The crisis demanding that the organiz-
alton of the Democratic party shall be preserved
intact against open well secret enemies of the
Constitution and the Union that it is therefore re-
4 commended to the several State committees that
they take measures to secure the adoption OF an
\ electoral ticket in their respective Suites pledged
National Democratic Convention, Stephen d. Doug
las and Hersehel v. johnson.
Resolred That ii any State Committee shall omi
take the proper steps for securing such an elect
oral ticket, then the member OF this committee il
that Stats is hereby authorized either in conjunc
Il ton with members of the State committee by hi
own ACT, to take such action as he may deem neces
sary and proper for that purpose.
50 1t appears, from the second resolution. that
Douglas electoral ticket is to be formed in ever,
State, South and North. As the present electora
ticket in this State is supposed to be for Breckin
ridge, We may soon look out for another one
sspledged to the uaeqnvocaI support of Douglas
On the other hand, tho Breckinridge men ar
equally as active, and the Bell and Everett mel
,l are very far from being asleep. Touching th
8 prospects of Douglas, the Harrisburg (Pennsyl
& sania) Intelligencer-a decided Douglas organ
d rather exagerates the thing little, We think

Oh Stephen A. Douglas viii carry every Sonther

I carry New York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey. /
