Douglas delegate from the Greenbrier District 10 the
Democratic Convention in Baltimore passed through this
place on Wednesday last on his way home. He was full
of Douglas zeal and confidence, aud poured denuncia
ton hot as yro upon the beads Of the friends of the
nomination OF Breckenridge aud Lane. lie positively
asserted that the Of ect OF that Convention to effect
a dissolution Of the Union, to prccpitatc the country
into revolution and drench it in bloOdshed in civil
war.
He said that Breckenridge and Lane had not the slight
except South Carolina and that it more than folly
it was treason TO support that ticket
He denounced Hon. Caleb Cushing in unmeasured
terms, saving that he prosutcd bis position as Chair
man Of the Convention the heinous purpose of disor
sanziug the Democratic party.
lie said the OF jsc Of the Richmond Convention was
to corrupt the Virginia delegation and that that object
was effected
lie asserted chat thousand persons had been offered
the appointment of Judgeshp in the Supreme Court to
supply the vacancy oecasoned by the death of Judge
Daniel.
That Washington City under this Administration is the
'most corrupt place this side the Asphaltes"
lie SAYS the peope ios Douglas, and that it only
the politicians who are for Breckenridge aud Lane.
We do not profess to quote the language, but think we
have correctly given the substance OF his remarks as
they we're poured fourth with the rapidly of electricity
The vim OF condensed steam, aud the heat Of molten
lava.
When asked his opinion of the Massachusetts, deega-
ton be said that if he owned negro within twenty five
miles Of the border he would be afraid he would be
stolen by that observation-disclosures Spectator.

We certay cannot wonder Il our sagacious and fair

In quarters well informed regarding diplomatic affairs

by Spain against Mexico-as has been reported-the be-

The C.mnaIgn I'm the South,

The irrepressibe conflict between Douglas and Breek
nrdge in Georgia, was opened on Monday last at Allan
ia, by scathng speech from Gov. Herschel V. John
son. He poured hot shot into the ranks of the Disun'
onisis The Atlanta Coneisraey and the Augusta Con-
stiutondlist have hOisted the flag of the Little Giant
and are rakng the enemies of the Union fore and aft
The friends Of Douglas are said Outnumber those Of
Breckenridge very largely in Georgia. Between the two
there is no reasonable doubt that the vote of the State
will be cast for Bell and Everett. So it will be in Vir
ginia, so in the whole South, with the solitary exception
OF South Carolina We heartily congratulate friends
on the glorious prospect Let the conservative masses
of the North do their duty and the of natiOnasm
and of constitutional Government will achieve splendid
triumph

From vel, Informed privats source, We learn that
this game has been systematically pursued in the North
All the powder burn, there pretendelly in honor Of
Brecknrdge has been burat the expense Of the Black
Republicans The o5ec: is manifest They want to pro-
dlce the impression that B,ecknrdse has friends in the
North-thereby induce the South to vote for him, in
stead Of Bell and Everett the oaly ticket they fear They
know that If the people OF the South unite Bell and
Everett they viii be eeced-whia if they be trick

gallant knight, prancing steed and Queen of love and
