Douglas and LincOln---The Com
test.

1t is claimed by many that the nomi-
nation of Lincoln foreshadows the nom-
nation Of Douglas, at Baltimore. We
are not prepared to say what, or whether
any effect will be produced on the Demo
cratic Convention by the Abolition nom
nation. We are inclined, however, to
think that it is rather in favor Of, than
against, the prospects Of Douglas. 1t
matters but little to us whether Douglas
is or is not nominated. 1t is we'll known
that he is not our choice, but if he should
be nominated we have no "words to
chew" we have said nothing against him
or any other Democrat that we would
have to take back, and we expect, in the
event Of his nomination, to do far more
toward securing his election than many
Of those who fault us for not urging his
claims. Before nomination every Dem
ocrat is entitled to his personal choice Of
candidates, but after a nomination that
Democrat is not sound who fails to sup
port the nominees, We deprecate the
