We regard it as very probable that few scat
tcring votes from the South-perhaps 30 in all
might be mustered tor Douglas, il there were
any chance that such support could secure him
the nomination. Were the majority vote agreed
upon, there would, therefore, be some reasonable
chance for Douglas to succeed. In like manner,
it might be possible to secure ten or fifteen votes
for him in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. But
as all the votes that can with any plausible
ground whatever be reckoned for him lin our
opinion) will leave him far short Of the required
eoa, we greatly doubt his getting over l4o votes
at any stage of the balotings. We conclude
and leave this opinion. along with our above
estimates, to be compared with the event-that
Douglas will not be nominated for the Presiden-
cy. As make-weight with Southern nominee,
il would not greatly surprise US to see him as
signed the Second Place the ticket, and accepting
that as compromise.
To be more definite as to who wW be nomina-
ed at Charleston next week, we think the prOba-
bilites are in favor Of either Hunter, Lane or
Guthrie, with the chances in the order We have
named. Such is our opinion from present ap-
pearanccs, which may, however, be materially
changed by the first day of the Convention.

DOUcLAs' PROsPrcrs.-Thc Cincinnati Gazette
Of the elst instant, differs materially from the
New York Tribune in its calculations Of the
chances Of Douglas for the nomination at Charles
ton. We have before given the Tribune's csti-
mate,-it considering l7O votes for him on the
first ballot to be moral certainty,-9O2 being
the number required to nominate,-and that ON
the second or third ballots he would probably
get 254, or 80 more votes than required. The
following are the views Of the Gazette =
We have closely watched the appointment of
