The StaatsStitung thinks the defeat OF the 90
called Democratic party in Connecticut and Rhode lei
and will have wholesome effect on the Charleston
Conventions e. it will tend to secure tho nomination
of Mr.. Dougss or some other popular-sovereignty
man of the North 1t is curious that the interest Of
Douglas and the popular soveregns should lie in the
defeat of their party in important State elections
However, their wishes are lkelyto be gratifed
-" Occasional" writing from Washington to For
news Press SAYS that rumor which he is disposed to
believe after thorough inquiry is in circulation there to
the effect that the Administration has advised and will
support secession othe Southern delegates from the
Charleston Convention should Douglas be nominated
A Cabinet Minister is said to have stated to dis
tpguished Northern Democrat two three days ago,
that this scheme was arranged and he did not hesitate
TO add that it was very far from improbable that the
South would take possession of the Union Consitu-
tional Convention which is to assemble at Baltimore
on the 9th of May in order to array the Southern peo
pie against Douglas should he succeed in overcoming
his opponents at the National Convention. You need
not be surprised if this project is carried out That u
in contemplation do not doubt
Various State delegations TO the Chicago Conven-
ton are already securing quarters at the different
hotels. The delegations from Massachusetts Missouri,
Ohio Indiana Connecticut, and Iowa, well as the
National Republican Committee, have already engaged
Quarters at the fremont House. The Maine delega-
ton has engaged quarters at the Briggs House. The
Republican National Committee at their last meeting
in Albany adjourned to meet at the fremont House on
the 18th of May the day preceding the Convention.
The Herald correspondent says:
Every day produces some evidence from
Charleston that the landlords Of the hotels and board

for quarters during the session Of the Democratic Ma
tonal Conven ion. A Member of Congress received
letter day or two SINCE in reply to application for
quarters stating that he could have room provided

twelve dollars for it from the 18th of Aprleght days
before the Convention meets. lie declined taking it.

The Charleston Mercury of the 10th says
CAN intense excitement prevailed in the city yester
day. on the publication of second Washington dis
patch. which in some measure cast a doubt over the
meeting of the Convention. Arrangements, which
had been in rapid progress, were suspended IN many
instances and in others family carried on IL Is, IN our
opinOn but the preteXt seized by the friends OF Mr.
DOUGLAS to transfer the Convention, if possible, to
some city where they will be in the ascendent. This
movement commenced many months SINCE when tney
praed of the danger to be apprehended from personal
violence in Charleston. This is however, their last
csrd, and this will fail. Mr. Douglas friends see
plainly that Convention in Charleston will preserve
Southern aspect and cannot be brow-beaten or bulied
The six hundred and fifty gentem who compose the
Convention will be taken good Of and the prefer
epce given them. About one hundred have already
been invited TO accept the inequalities OF our ctHens
aud many more undoubtedly will be. But me myradd

CORventon must take their CHARGES for Jeed and Steep
1t is greatly to be desired that their number may be re-
duced to as email i0GIe as possible. The Conven-
ton will meet in Charleston; but if Mr.. Douglas aud
bis friends desire Northern Convention, let them call
one"
The Charleston Courier of the 18th says
"Our leading landlords, as we have already stated
have been djligeut aud active in making preparations
ct largely increased expenses to themselvs 80: Iney
now assure us, positively and authorltatively, that
FIVE dollars per day for board Will be the maximum oil
charge TO or for any delegate member OF the Com

for over three hundred delegates on terms, we are
assured satisfactory to the parties Interested 6ut our
landlords do not consider Themselves dbie or o6gaed
