on the 29th ult., and adopted series OF
resolutions deploring the divisions in the
ranks of the Democracy, and recommending
the nomination OF al ONT electoral ticket in
the State of New York, to be supported by
the united Democracy, and if such an union
cannot be effected, to support Judge Doug
las for the Presidency.
HOLDING off, and waiting for bids: the
Winona Democrat. The last number does
not contain even hint as to which candi-
date, Lincoln, Breckenridge, Douglas, or
Bell is to receive the support OF the incor-
ruptible Cotton.
THE Lexington (Ky.) Observer says sit
is regarded as very questionable by those
who profess to be we'll informed of the feel
ings of the party [Democratic], whether
Douglas or Breckenridge is the favored
candidate of the Democracy of the city Of
lexington" 1t adds:
at is very certain that Douglas has many
warm friends here, and that they do not
hesitate to express their preference of him
to the Vice President; and as an evidence
of the spirit which prevails, it is stated that
prominent gentleman of the Democracy
has already made heavy bet that Brock
inridge will not carry Kentucky. He may
we'll afford to wager upon that proposition. u
JUDGE DIXON, of Wisconsin, who was
last spring elected to the Supreme Court of
that State, has come out for Douglas. He
was formerly Republican, but, not being
able to endorse the course of that party in
notification and abolitionism, came out
from among them, and was taken up by the
Democracy as an independent candidate for
Chief Justice, and elected. Wisconsin is
good for Douglas in November.
Gov. WILLARD, of Indiana, is hard at
work for Douglas and johnson. The Indi>
annapolis Sentinel says:
Since the nomination was made, large con-
ventions have been held in three Congressional
Districts, the third, fourth and eighth, and in
each of which resolutions were unanimously
adopted in approval of the platforms and nom.
nations made by the regular Conventions of
the party at Charleston and Baltimore. There
can be no doubt but that this is the almost
unanimous sentiment of the HOosier Democra-
cy. They will stand firmly by the usages of
the party, abide the action Of the majority, and
sustain the regular nominees. We shall carry
the State and Presidential tickets this year by
the largest Democratic majority ever given in
Indiana.
JUDGE DOUGLAS was expected to visit
Philadelphia, Cd Saturday night last, en-
route for New York.
The n. Y. Times says -" Nearly all
the leading politicians in the city declared in
Douglass favor. Capt. Rynders said, en-
phatically, that although it would favor his
interests to favor Mr.. Breckenridge, still
that regard for principle which bad ever
governed his political life, obliged him to
declare for Douglas"
Our Democratic exchanges from every
quarter come to US filled with glowing &C.
counts OF demonstrations made on the recep-
ton of the news of Douglass nomination.
There is scarcely village or city in the
whole country the Democracy of which did
not publicly rejoice and fire salute of guns.
There were probably more guns, by ten to
one, fred throughout the different States on
Saturday and Monday, following Douglass
nomination, and in honor of it, than ever
before marked any event in the party history
of the United States.
The n. Y. Trib,lne's Washington cores
pendent asserts that Breckenridge will meet
with the most bitter opposition of Guthrie
and his friends in Kentucky. As the demo-
cracy of that State are all attached to either
Guthrie Or Douglas, Mr.. Breckenridge will
not have party there sufficiently large to
hold an inquest after the completion Of bis
political suicide.
THERE is considerable comfort for Joe
Lane, in the last news from Oregon, in re-
ference to the election for member of Con-
gress and members of the Legislature, which
took place early in June. The telegraphic
despatch states that 'the returns are encour.
aging to the Republicans, and indicate pos.
sibility that Legislature has been chosen
which will in August elect two Republican
U. s. Senators"
DOUGLAS will carry New York. Every
prominent Democrat in the State, and ev.
cry press supports him. Dickinson friends,
the Adamantines, are for Douglas to man.
The Buffalo New York; Courier of June
25th, in an article upon the nomination of
Judge Douglas, says:
eff the election were to take place within
a week, Judge Douglas would carry New
York by an overwhelming majority. But,
as be stands upon the rock OF principle, we
believe he will gain rather than lose by the
discussions and incidents of a more pro-
tracted canvass"
The Albany New York; Argus and
Atlas, a cool and sagacious print, says:
eff all the indications of popular opinion
which preceded this convention do not
prove deceptive, we shall be sustained in
this position by majority of the electors Of
our OWE State.''
There is scarcely doubt that Douglas
will beat Lincoln TWENTY-FIVE Thousand votes
