INC Charleston Convention.

Narious estimates are made Of the chances
OF Doughls in the Charleston Convention but
all agree that lac goes into that body with at
leasta minority Some reckon as high al
ready as 1913, nearly two thirds vote. But,
there are two or three Northern States which
seem to have elected delegates not altogether
committed in one way or another. We be-
lieve, however they are for Douglas. Going
into Convention with this great positive
strength. the question of his availability is at
once decided, nnd with the South at this time
no other question can enter into eonsidera-
tion, for they cannot hope to elect any man
upon a strictly Southern platform. Such
platform would not he Democratic one,
and the country is not yet ready. and 1t Is TO
be hoped never will be. to sectionali@e the
Democratic purity. The Douglr' Democracy
have the principles Of the Party with them,
and they cannot be driven from their posi-
tion.
Douglas with but little doubt, has the
whole of New England, ana the entire North.
west. We have good reason to believe that
he has New York and he is well nigh certain
of New Jersey. This gives him l49 votes to
start with, Add to these Maryland, which
he has already got, and Arkansas and Mis-
souri, which he will get, ION the score Of avail
ability and add to them Kentucky and Ten
nessee, (fvr he will obtain them as their Sec
ond cho ce) and he has lS4. No other man
goes into the Convention with anything like
such formidable strength, and claims like
these are not TO be ignored. Texas has not
fully defined her position nor has Louisiana.
But it is very generally believed tat a State
which has Just elected an anti-Slave Code
man like sam. Houston, Governor, against
the anti Douglas and strong Southern Ultra
influence, is not likely to oppose the Popular
Sovereignty candidate We shall hear from
Louisiana now in short time, and she will
send delegates, if not absolutely favorable to
Douglas on the score of principle, at leas; on
the score Of availability.
The signs of the times are undoubtedly in
dcatiye of the nomination of the Illinois
StatesInan Certain it is, that if he is not
nominated, it will not be his loss but that OF
the Party, to throw overt oard a man who
goes into the Convention with a two-thirds
vote, lacking only fifteen or eighteen votes
would be such piece of stupendous folly
that we do not believe it could possibly be
committed. Therefore, we announce it as a
thing as certain as any human probability
can be that Stephen A. Douglas will be the
nominee Of the Charleston Convention for
the Presidency of the United States And his
nomination is equivalent to an election.
y. B. Let it be observed, too, that we have
not counted the votes of California in his ia
vor in the Convention. But, it is hy no
means certain that those unpledged Latham
delegates, who have been elected. will not
prefer him to Dickinson when they come tc
compare the relative chances ofthe man.

After the dag was raised, James Bumgard-

say, that his speech merited the appreciation

Wings repaired to The School-house for the
purpose of forming d Bell and Everett Club.
vhereupon, on motion, John Churchman,
SEN, was called to the Clair. He returned
many thanks to his fellow citizens for the
honor conferred upon him, and concluded
his remarks by introducing Powell Harrison,
Esq, to the meeting. who arose, and at
tempted to make powerful effort; in the
shape of speech. but his harangue was
composed chiefly of slurs at the great De-
mocratic Administrations. Mr.. H. attrib-
uted the large increase Of the Republicans
to Mr.. Pierce's Administration. and asser-
ted that under Mr.. FilImore's Administra-
ton the Republicans had diminished con-
s'deraply, while under Mr.. Pierce's they
had increased to the great number of lOO,-
241. He next alluded to our rational De-
mocratic champion, Hon Stephen A. Doug
las. His remarks on Judge Douglas were
simply opposing his Squatter Sovereignty
views. He stated that he stood no chance
OF election, and that we should sacrifice him
on the altar of his country. and rally around
the standard of Bell and Everett and save
the Union Well, Mr.. Editor. we do nc.
believe any such arguments as Mr. II s.
Ho would have us believe that Judge Doug
las stood no chance at all il this contest,
and that Mr. Bell was the only man who
could preserve the Union of these States
Why it was he did not tell US John Bells
principles, we do not know. but, happily;
we know something about the man Who was
opposed to the anEexation Of a slave State,
(Texas) and cried out. during polk's war
with Mexico that lie hoped the hlezicar's
would welcome our soldiers with Bloody
hands to hospitabie graves Did hot the

Mr.. H. next took up the BreoIinrdge
wing, and assailea them as d!sunionists,
and traitors to their country and asserted
that any man who voted for BrcokiIridke
was unworthy to be called freeman. and
in such like language did he tssail tie
Breckenridge wing, whilst lie dealt more
gently with Judge Douglas friends. Per
baps Mr.. Fl thinks there is slight cIlancs
that the Douglas men " II unite with the
Bell men. If he etitS:tans any such orin-
ion, we would say to him that we IN tits
