Measrs. Richardson nnd Dyer, the two princi-
pal nauaeers for Mr. Douglas, reachcd here last

milton WIS regarded as certain. Their conf
dcnce here is less positive from the absence Of

nion!, Win parts Of massachusetts,, md Con-
neclcut, The rest Of which are conceded to Mr..
Toucey, complimentary. This count is con-
aidefed e1travagant By weil-informed pcrsons,
,..: y safe opinion can be formed of tie result
Till Q larger number of delegates hare arrived
and compared opinions.
The Vice, Presidency has been held out Is a
ba't to North and South Carolina, Tennessee,
sHginia, aud Georgia, with some personal ef.
feet, but no decided influence The game is
well understood, and will he blocked.
4 partlal tcEt will be made on the question of
whether tue platform or the candidate shall first
de agreed on. The Douglas interest and South
ern extremists favor the former, but from differ
ent motives. Vthcrs urge candidate in nrcEeE-
cnce, intending ltc shall personally indicate the
spirit Of the platform.
Most Of the kentucy delegates hare arrived.
They intend adhering tcnaclously to Mr. Guth-
RE, and discourage emphatically any move
ment for Nj: breckenridge, which will impair
his strength when urged by a minority Of the
Pennsyl'anin delegation. Mr. Bigler will find
himself cornered upon reaching here. Ali;
Guthrie finds favor with the conservative cla1!S
who are nncou,mitted and not partisans, and is
urged judicious'y by bis friends rs con,pro-
mise can aidute.
Outside there is . very snail and inconsilcra-
ble interest ielt.
Mr. Lane is not named for the Presidency.
and the suggestion is ridiculed.
Mr. Orr is here surveying the ground. having
achieved victory ut the Statc Convention orer
tAe uitrss. With eng Northern cuud,da.o for
President, he would be prominent for the uomi-
nation for Vice President
Nr. staart, Of Michigan, is proposed, among
others, for President ot the Convention. but lis
Douglas proclivilics may interfere That selec-
tton, however, will not be considered Test Of
strength.
Three hundred delegates and visitors from
the North. West arrived this evening, to swell
the Douglas chorus, which had become weak
ened.
