Delegates " the Baltimore Convention, on the
18th u June are already beginning to rryc in
Washington. The first question u 10 decided
will II course be the application Of the seeding
delegates 10 DO admitted to seats in III II body
although the true course TO pursue would be to

South who have beca elected to their places, and
will be . death,blow to Stephen A. Douglas.
Should New York vote " admit dies seceders.
and should the delegates who acted AZ ainst Doug
has a. Charleston, and did not secede. vote To do
the same thing, then tbe mschinatio ns against
the gallant statesman FROM Illinois sill be Iium-
phant; but l have every reason ia believe that
New York will stand firm. and THAI the Efforts to
bring back tho reoreanis will fail Good and true
men from Alabama, Mississippi. Georgia, aud
other seceding States. will be welcomed into tho
body, and Douglas put forward as the represe TIA
tive champion Of the doctrines Of popular ave
Ieignty.
This harmonires iully with tho view prcsst ted
by tbs States, regarding the platform. questo as
settled 40 further additions can be made TO it,"
Tia, matter being 6xed. the Press then adds that
Douglas will be put forward az tie sepres enta

rsignty" Ann 50 he will. despite all the b uste'
that has been made. and the schism in tho party
