The Convention was unanimous for DOUG.
LAS, and the delegates are ranked as bis
warmest friends. Hence the production in
the Convention, Of the following extract of
letter from the Postmaster at Milwaukee
to delegate, created no little merriment:
81 think it would not be good policy to
prescribe the Douglas men. Put few of
them without Instructions, but be careful
not, to get enough to control the delegation.
Judge Larrabee is coming home, ard is very
anxious to go, but L am anxious that he
should attend to his duties in Washington,
and let the people manage their own matters
in their own way. Mayor Page is also try
ing but he is an abolitionist and no Dem.

OPPos1TIoNI CONVENTION IN PENNsYLyA-
N1A.-The. Peoples State Convention of

in Pennsylvania met at Harrisburg, on the

MARYLAND FOR DoUGLAs.--At the cleo.
ton in Baltimore, on the Dist, DoUGLAs
delegates from that city were elected to the
Charleston Convention.
The Cincinnati GQsette's dispatches from
Washington say:
1t is understood here that the Pennsyl-
vania delegates to the Charleston Conven~
ton will support the nomination of Mr..
Breckenridge though they are not yet ap-
pointed. Mr.. Bigler will 60 as one Of the
Senatorial delegates. The action of Judge
Blacks own county, Somerset, in rejecting
the resolution recommending him for the
Presidency and electing Douglas delegate
to the State Convention is regarded as a
most pointed rebuke of the Administration
by its own political adherents.
The dispatch to the Enquirer says:
The news from Connecticut and Rhode
Island strikes terror to the minds of the
anti Douglasites in Washington; both be.
ing gallant States, have sent straight Doug
las delegates to Charleston, while the action
of Somerset county, Pennsylvania, the home
of Attorney General Black, increases the
panic, and shows which way the wind is
blowing in the old Keystone. In Somerset,
at the County Democratic Convention to
send delegates to Reading, the delegation
were instructed by four to one for Douglas,
and the body by the same vote refused to
indorse Black so much for Buckingham.
In all these manifestations of popular
feeling, will not politicians learn lesson
1t is not Douglas that eXcites this enthusi-
asm and this tumult- in the Democratic
masses it is the ideas he typifes and rep>
resents, viz: consistency, sound principles,
and an honest adherence to the solemn COW
enants of the party.
