THE NUMBER PRESENT.

The size Of the crowd is yariously
estimated I heard it placed by a
Douglas Democrat at twenty thousand.
Candid people set it at from double to
quadruple the number present at the
Douglas demonstration. According to
the ordinary rules of estimation, the
crowd to-day numbered fifty thousand
persons. BY the Esaquirer's standard
of reckoning, it reached two hundred
thousand.
As l write, the Wide-Awakes are
marching with lighted torches, and the
streets resound with shouts and music.
Senator Trumbull is to be the speaker
al the Wigwam tomorrow night.

asaz"It is an axiom with me that in
every free government an unfair election is
no election at all."-DOugIas' Springfield
Speech.
The willy Senator evidently knows how
to make a distinction without a differ
ence between an election and a nomina-
ton, for it is notorious fact that the NOM
ination made at Baltimore, which he with
such alacrity accepted, was the result of the
admission of bogus delegates from several
Southern States without the votes of which
he stood just about as much chance of a
nomination, as he now has of an election.

Items,

From the Cincinnati Gazette's Eastern cor
respondence:
The Constitution is out vigorously to-day
for Breckenridge aud Lane, in quite num-
Der of strong articles.
The papers, generally, of the Democratic
faith, throughout the Eastern and Southern
States, seem to recognize Breckenridge as
the true Democratic candidate.
The Democratic National Committee has
broken up, and two new Committees have
been formed-one for Breckenridge, and
one for Douglas. Mr.. McClusky, Secretary
of the old Committee, is Secretary of the
Breckenridge Committee.
The Administration will now amuse itself
during the warm weather in decapitating
the few Douglas officeholders who remain.
The ak is sharpened and will be vigor-
ously used.
From present appearances Douglas will
get scarcely any votes South. Clingmau,
and few others who were favorably dis
posed towards him, are preparing to give
him the go-by. -t
Caleb Cushing's name is mentioned in
connection with the vacancy on the Su-
preme bench, and is warmly pressed, bnt
Buchanan hesitates
The President has determined not to fill
the vacancy in the Supreme Court till next
winter.

LONDON, June 16.-The Weekly Press

to give the Danubian provinces to the Grand
Duke of Leuchtenberg, and also says Rus
STA and Austria refuse to recognize the an

gz5- The Enquirer seems to be in doubt
as to whether the Journal is a Lincoln and
lLalnlin, or Lane and Breckenridge paper.
We don't care what our neighbor considers
US; but we are sure that if we favor Breck-
inridge and Lane over Douglas and John
s(Don, we favor the genuine Modern Demo-
cratic candidates.
1t is a serious question, by the way,
whather the Enquirer and other Locofoco
papers are not trying to become Bell and
Everett organs We do not imagine, how
ever, that they can make good Union mu-
sic. Their pipes, stops, fnger-boards, bel
lows, and other fixtures are too leaky and
wheezy TO make music to suit the gallant
Bell and Everett men. If their own Bell
gets cracked, they will prefer Lincoln har-
mony and concord to Locofoco discord

In AT THE EDEATH.-Humphrey Marshall,

of the party to witness its death struggle
There is a report that lie is now engaged

zens for the appropriate celebration of eur
natal day Of independence. We learn that
many Of the ladies intend decorating the
front of their dwellings with Flags Pictures,
Evergreens, &c, which will lend additional
charm to the procession of our mechanical

as was never before seen in any city in our
State-one that will impress our visitors
favorably. The only way it is to be done
is, for all classes to enter into the spirit of
the occasion with enthusiasm. None are so
poor that they cannot spend something in
commemoration of the day that gave us
freedom. Start out Young America, put
our National Flag in their hands, and pat
riotic Thoughts in their heads, and the Union
will be safe for the next generation at least.

The war between the rival roses-the
Breckinridges and Douglases-waxes hot
and furious. The preliminary skirInish took
place last night; tonight the "tug of war :"
will come.
The skirmish between Recorder George
Washington Mcbride and Sheriff John
Smith Gavitt was fierce display of pugilist-
ic skill. 1t occurred at a late hour last
night, on Main street. For the benefit of
the sporting community, we shall try to get
a technical description of the "plug muss,"
when we can find person who was so for
tunate as to be present.
We presume the belligerents will be ar
rested and tried this morning. Being both
conservators of the peace, the law has been
deplorably scandalized in this proceeding.
Their punishment will therefore probably
be exemplary.

Democratic Convention

DETROIT, June 29.-Most of the nominal
tions were made by acclamation. The pro-
ceedings were generally harmonious. 1t
was announced that Gen. Cass was in the
city A motion to invite him to attend the
Convention, was laid on the table. A subse,
quent motion to recall it was voted down
by a decisive majority, as was a resolution
endorsing the foreign and domestic policy
of the present Administration.
Resolutions approving the nomination Of
Douglas and johnson were enthusiastically
passed. Notwithstanding the rain this
evening, ratification meeting, large and
enthusiastic, is being held, and addressed by
several speakers from different stands.

half an average one. Oats, and, believe,

never better. The wheat in the Miami val

BS~ Samuel c. Wilson, Esq, of Craw-
fordsvihp, was nominated by the Democracy
of the Eighth District for Congress, to be
beaten by Isaac A. Rice of Covington, the
Republican nominee. Capt. Lew. Wallace
was offered the nomination, but was too
sharp to accept it.
The Enquirer, in speaking of Mr.. Wilson
nomination, says he was formerly the law
partner of Hon. II. S. Lane. SO it seems
that even to have been a partner of Col
Lane is regarded a high honor by our Demo
cratic friends. How much more honorable
to them and the people of the State will il
oe when Col. Lane is made Governor.

country into the gulf of poverty and mis-
