ling ambition of his life, to wit seat in the
British House OF Lords
The states which will have unbroken dele
cations for Mr.. Seward in the Chicago con-
vention are New York, So votes, California 4,
Michigan 6, Wisconsin s. Minnesota 4, Kan.
sas 8. The friends OF Mr. Seward confident
ly claim that he will receive 8S votes on the

The Boston Post says:-"The election of Mr..
Cushing was a marked acknowledgment by
the nation oil the purity and nationality of the
masses of the Democracy of Massachusetts,

take counsel from wisdom, and can rise above
the littleness of small contrivances" This is
the way Douglas men are whistlcd down the
wind.

the Southern ultraists are drawing it rather
strong, when they prevent the nomination of
the only Democrat who stands any chance of
being elected president, and also threaten to
resist the Inauguration of any Republican who
may be elected
The national convention of the German re-
publicans of the country, consisting of three
delegates from each state is to be held in Chi
cago on the 14th Of May, two days prior to the
general republican convention. These dele
gates have already been elected in nearly all
of the states, the object being to represent the
Germans of their respective communities, and
secure the proper action of the general conven~
ton to meet the demands of the large number
of Germans who now form part of the Re-
publican party.

Hon. Eli Thayer will on Monday, make the
attempt in the House of Representatives to or
ganize Arizona as a land district, to divide
Utah between Nevada and jefferson, and es
tablish Nevada and Jefferson and Dacotah as
land districts, and Immediately admit dele.
gates from these four land districts, thus recog-
nizing the independent government already
existing in all these districts except Dacotah.
He hopes thus to get ahead of Douglas by re.
cognizing squatter sovereignty from the start.
