and that nothing but a factious opposition,
unprecedented in the history Of Demo-
cratic Conventions, has defeated bis nom
%ination.
The Athens ALA Herald, Of the lllh
inst, had a strong article denouncing the
characterization and secesyionists Itsays
Of the secession: ~ ri
awe can look upon this movement in
no other light but as the first step toward
revelation and disanion-if the leaders
were sufficiently i%ngraGated intoIhe con-
fdence of the Southern people to COM
mand their support to their mad schemes
of dissolution; bur of this there is no dan
ger; the greatzmass Of the people in this
State are not nth them in this reasonable
attempt at revolution. This movement
on the part of the seceders is as much a
sectional m~OUement as any of the Republi-
cans at the North, and isintended so pre-
cipitate the cotton States into revolution,
and upon a majority Of the Southern del
egaies rests the responsibility of the dis
astrous results that will grow OUT Of it.
The Buffalo Republic thus responds to.
the general sentiment Of the Democracy
Of the Empire State in ~refereLse TO the
stand taken by their delegate at Chesles-
ton:
They voted for Douglas from first to
last, and will continue the process as SOON.
as the Baltimore Convention will allow
them to resume. They have taken their
stand nthe light Of an intensely earnest
popular sentiment; and we do not believe
that any political combinationcan be made
strong enough to drive them from their
position. They have obeyed the popular
will, and have shown themselves IN their
integrity and u~nalerable frmness worthy
the entire confidence of the Democrats
party. The Democracy of the Empire
State could not have seleeteda more fear
less and i|ncorruptible set of men to rep
resent them in the Convention. That
they comprehend the necessities Of the
Democratic party has been clearly dem
onslrated, and that they had the integri-
" and courage to respond to those neceS-
slties, must be patent to the most careless
looker-on." 1-s
The Baltimore Despatch after giving
the seceders a most bitter, scathing, says:
douglas is the maj of the people
because be is from the people-and be-.
cause he is the ardent defender of the
principles the people love. Hence he is
hated by the arrogant, would-b be lordlings,
who have nothing to sustain them but
overbearing ~pretensions, and success in
plundering the country. They denounce
Douglas, because they know he is not of
their tribe Of political gamblers.
We hope that his friends will stand like
faithful men to their position. If they
yield now, The independence of the coun-
try is lost forever; and submitting to the
despotism Of men who are determined to
rule or ruin, must sink a witheFed and
despised thing, TO everlasting contempt"

Grafton, writes:
81 do not believe, upon a fair and open
issue before the people, that there will
turn out one hundred votes in this county.
in favor Of sending delegates 10 the disun-
ion Convention at Richmond. We are
all on one side up here, sure. We stick
to lhe-old Democratic ship of the Union,
ard will fight for it. If South Alabama
wants to leave the Union, she will have
TO go without North Alabama"
The Augusta, (Ga.) Con%stitutionatist,
says:
Mr.. Douglas has got rid Of the fac
t%ionists, and having received one hundred
and ffiy.two votes. which is a majority,
he is nominated by two-thirds. We now
believe that the nominee of the party in
National Convention, and the next Pres
ident Of the United States, will be Stephen
A. Douglas, Of Illinois"
