26,32O, or q little over eighteen per cent.
in ten years. The population of the city of

s@r Gov. Bonham, of South Carolin

s1 Gov. Bonham, of South Carolina, now Representative in Congress from the Fourth District of that State, has recently written a letter in favor of the represen- tation of South Carolina in the Demo- cratic Convention al Charleston. We quote the following, from the letter, which shows his detes,a,ion of Douglas:
 believe it is admitted that by the aid of the votes he will be able to get from the Black Republican States, and others, which will probably go against the Demo. cratic party in the election itself, he will go into the Convention with larger vote than any other candidate.
 But let us anaylize this vote. The one hundred and twenty Southern votes and the seven votes of the Pacific slope Judge Douglas cannot obtain, in the first instance before the Conventions so that if he gets the entire remaining Northern vote [whct is very probable) ), he will enter the Con. vention with one hundred and sevenly-six votes. Ninety-one of these, as before stated, neither he nor any other Democrat will probably get in the Electoral Col leges. The remaining eighty-five votes are from the doubtful States ot New Jer. sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, one half of which, al least, will support the Republican candi- date for President, and the other hall would as soon, perhaps sooner, vote for sound Southern Democrat than for Judge Douglas himself; so that the probable available vote with which Judge Dougla: will enter the Convention will moi exceed forty-two.
 Ii is an insult to the South to ask her tc vote for him, for it implies that she vii sell her principles for false triumph, o yield them through fear of her enemies
