No CONFERENCE.-THE New Jersey Douglas
men are not at all satisfied with the PROPOSE
tion of the Breckenridge men to run but one
electoral ticket in that State. The ticket
nominated by the late State Convention con-
tains five electors who are Breckenridge men
and only two who are for Douglas; and the
Douglas men say they intend to submit to no
such nonsense as that. In Philadelphia, too,
the same spirit is apparent. The Douglas men
held their ratification meeting there on Sat
urday night a week. and no one who reads the
resolutions adopted can doubt that they are
resolutcly in earnest, and the prevailing SEN
timent, especially on the part of the active
leaders, is against any concession to the rival
branch of the party. There is much less like
lihood that the feud will be compromised than
there is that the battle-cry will be sswar to the
knife" If the resolutions mean anything,
Cancellation is out of the question. We find
a vein of malice running through them all.
The delegates who formed the Convention
which nominated Breckenridge and Lane, are
stigmatized as men who "o,ce labor and serrfce
to the decaying dynasty which was created by
the National Democratic Convention Of 1856"
and as .sfugitives from the regular organiza-
ton of the Democratic party, aided by disu-
nionists and new converts to the Democracy"
We are sorry out of the deep regard we have
for the party, that these brethren should man
ifest such an unforgiving spirit.

THE publishers of the TRUE DEMOCRAT propose to issue "tri-weekly edition" of their paper, in addition to the weekly, and com mence it's publication about the first day of June next, or sooner, if 1,000 subscri- bers be obtained.
 The great battle of the age is to be fought in November next, and it is necessary that every man in the community should be kept informed of the movement of the enemy. The very existence of the South is at stake, and it becomes every Southron to be up and doing. Intending to be firm. and decided, yet calm and prudent, it will be our aim to defend the rights of the South without buster or bravado. The times demand increased activity on the part of democrats, and that full and speedy information should be spread before the pub lie. This is the first enterprise of the kind in the State-is demanded by the exigences of the times, and we confidently look to the DEMOCRACY for it's support. avH0

Mr.. Morris ofIll., offered resolutions
calling on the Executive and houds Of
Departments, 10 communicate first the
names Of persons appointed % office by
the present Administration in lllinois,and
copies Of all petitions, letters, remon-
strances, and other papers, on which the
appointments and removals were made.
Mr. Barksdale objected to the further
reading of the resolutions.
Mr. Morris said the information should
not be suppressed.
Mr.. Barksdole said when the resolu-
/ ton was in order nobody would object.
| Mr.. Sherman, from the Committe on
Ways and Means, reported hack the
Post Office Appropriation bin; where
upon the House resolved itself into
Committee ofthe Whole on the State of
the Union on the subject; Mr.. Grow in
the chair, Mr.. Sherman said the Senate
amendment providing for the printing of
the Post Office blanks by contract was
one which ought TO be adopted in an in
dependent law, and all the members of
the Committee of Ways and Means were
in favor Of such legislation, but they are
opposed TO lis incorporation in an Appro-
priation bill TO carry out an existing law.
No new legislation should be inserted
therein. Such practice had been grow
ing up for a few years past, and the Com
mittee want TO put stop to IL. He would
therefore recommend that the House con-
cur In the amendment.
/ Mr., Phelps said that Mr.. Sherman had
correctly stated the opinion of the Com
mittee, but he differed from It's actions
aud was willing 10 concur in the amend
ment under protest. IL was measure
Of reform and 20 per cent. would by il be
saved TO the government.
Mr.. Lovejoy expressed the hope that
the House would concur in the amend
ment.
Mr.. Millson opposed the amendment
abolishing the franking privilege.
Mr.. Cobb advocated the giving out Of
printing ofthe Post Office blanks by con-
tract.
Mr.. Florence said il was mistake that
10 per cent. would be saved, but about
30 would be.
Mr.. Cobb replied that that was worth
saving, He also advocated the aboli-
ton Of the frahking privilege. The
good in the system was not equal TO the
evils.
Mr.. Stanton favored the striking out Of
both amendments. He was undor an OBJ
legation thus early 10 vote so as to pre-
vent the evil practice of incorporation Of
Independent Legislation in appropriation
bills.
The debate was continued on the pro-
priety Of abolishing the franking privi-
lege and relative 10 the giving Of the p.
o. blanks 10 the lowest bidder when the
committee rose. No defnite action on
tho bill was taken.

Something Of the falling or in his almi-

gathered from the following extract from
a reyiow Of Mr.. Douglas political career
in late number Of the Press, wherein ho
suys;
Much thRt stephen A, Douglas has
done in all these things has not met our

sisted and opposed. We 90 not agree
