Baltimore Democratic Convention.


Q anxiety continue to increase. This only, ho~eve
lean be SAID at the time Of writing.
The outside press ire in favor OF Douglas is Serl
strong, and the general impression 10 that lhrg
portion of the delegates in favor Of his nomination
will oppose the admission of the delegates who Sc
! cede6 from the Charleston Convention, and faVo
: the admission Of all new delegates who may pre-
sent themselves in their places.
The whole matter however, will be referred u
the Committee on Credentials, who will not repor
! before Tuesday morning.
ifthey report against the seceders, the latter will
20 back to Richmond and there make nomination.
for President and Vice President
If, on thel other hand, the committee report il
favor OF the seceders and that report not through
the action of the Douglas delegates, approved By
the convention, the same result will follow.
In either case, it is probable that several OF thu
Northern delegates, who are opposed to Douglas
will also withdraw and unite with the seceders a
Richmond, 10 making nomination. II, on thu
contrary, everything goes on smoothly and harmo
niOusly, and there is no secession, it is believed
J that new candidate will be brought forward and
nominated In no case will Douglas be nominated
The Douglas men, however, stand firm and I'm
yielding as yet, and claim for him I56 votes on The
first ballot, As regards the feeling Of the Cohven
tion personally, both factions appear to be more
bitter and exciable towards each other than wher
at Charleston.
