opinions, fearlessfy and explicitly; to declare
the course which he purposes to pursue, with

the candidates whom he Intends to support in

For ourselves we mean to perform that du ty
fully and faithfully. We place at the head OF
our paper to-day, and shall keep them there
until the people decide in Novem Der next, the
names OF John C. Breckinridge, OF Kentucky,
for President and Joseph Lane, of Oregon,
for Vice-President.
The Boston Post adheres to the Breckinridge
ticket, on the ground Of its regularity aud its
nationally. The Douglas nomination, it says,
was not only made by a Convention irregu-
larry constituted, but was in itself a sectional
nomination. at had not the support Of the
Old Democratic States and thus, lacking in
its mode the essential quality of nationality,

can be made against political party" The

The Detroit Free Press (Gen. Ca.s' home
orgah) enthusiastically responds 10 the nomi-
nation OF Mr. Douglas. It proclaims that 1t
cannot
convey more welcome intelligence to the
Democracy Of Michigan than that the Demo-
cratic National Convention has Nominated
stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency. On
the nrst vote yesterday he received the req
sue two-tnirds OF the Convention, and was
tnereupon nominated by acclamation. Thus
nave the wishes of the vast majority of the
Democracy of the country been responded TO
II Is true that the delegates from several of the
StAtes Withdrew from the Convention before
tnis result was reached, but upon grounds
wholly unwarrantable, unjustifiable, and in
defensible."
The Free Press adds that
"The crusade Against Mr.. Douglas has been
inexcusable. wicked, devilish. Thed,fiic ulty
about the platform has mostly come of this
crusade. Seeing no other way which promised
