Sor,o of the more active democrats have
rroDosed to give Gen. Butler public recep-
tion on his return to Massachusetts in testi
monv of their appreciation of his pluck under
somewhat trying circumstances at Charleston.
1t is intended il carried out, to operate as re-
buke of those delegates who gave their sym
pathies, and whatever aid they could, 10 the
advocate of the slave code and the disunion-
lists. Mr.. Gushing, who lost ground so much
at Charleston, that the common courtesies at
the close of the convention were refused to
him. will find no laurels awaiting him here,
whatever he may find among his congenial
companions elsewhere. 1t is not certain, how
ever, that, besides being the more learned ora
tor, he is not also, in this exigency, even, the
more philosophical statesman than the general
who is now on the fortunate wave. If there
is anything in democratic pretension on the
subject of savery-if the policy of that party
wherever it has executive power is not
mere sham, then Mr.. Gushing sees much
farther into the milestone than Mr.. Butler, and
is doing the party much better service than
he. Its record for twenty years, and when
ever material issues have not been in the field
reveals its great and overriding purp~se-
everything pledges, and compacts, and plat
forms--to preserve. the equality of slavery in
this republic against the contingencies of nature
and the laws OF God. And if, in his inscruta
Bile Judgment, the party itself should survive
this presidential campaign, Mr.. c., and not
Mr.. B., will be found on the winning side of
it. 1t is impossible for sectional branch of
that party to exist, without slavery clause in
its outline of policy. Discarding that, Othello's
occupation is gone at once. There is nothing
for ii to do. The issues which are not taken up
and believed in by the democratic party i'll the
states where their strength is of some service
to them, are already adopted by an Organiza-
ton whose broad and catholic platform COM
mands the approval and allegiance of men of
all parties. 1t is pleasant however, to see the
better elements of the party of the past upon
the surface, and it Gen. Butler does not make
the most of it, while the phenomenon con-
tinues, he isn't the wise man wo take him to

FoREsTDALE.-The work of building a cot
ton mill at Mansfield & Lambs Scythe Works,
near Slatersville, is progressing with vigor.
On Friday, last the cornerstone was laid, in
the presence OF prominent citizens from
Satersville and vicinity. The occasion was
one Of peculiar interest, aud at the suggestion
Of VIM. S. Slater, Esq, new name, Forest
daLe,' was given to the village, which has
heretofore been without name; and hence"
forth the public will recognize it as one of the
beautiful dales which line the Branch River
throughout its entire length. The heavy
sound Of the trip-hammer, which we were wont
to listen to in our childhood, is about to give
place to the hum Of the spindle and the loom.
"ForestdaLe" is a pretty cognomen and as ap-
propriate as pretty. We trust it will soon rival
in size and importance some of its sister viii
lagos.

| was unwilling to run the risks OF detection
after reaching majority points. His more jul
| dlclous and Influential friends declared last
night, if any prominent southern man would
make the issue on the question which led to
the disruption, they would nominate him at
baltimore, whether he was successful or not.
Ihey have the power to turn the tables on the
south by the selecting of some candidate not
desired by tie seceders, but yet unobjectiona'
bic TO that section.
The seceders' convention last night was ma
terially damaged by the withdrawal of MIR.
Bayard from the chair, and the reasons he as
signed, as well as by the whole discussion
Their diSagreements upon both material and
minor points proved conclusively that no Sc
ceders' movement can succeed. They differ
among themselves as much as with the other
convention.
Correspondence of the y. Y. Evening Postl
WASHINGTON, May 3d.-Some OF the dough-
face democrats say that Forney has killed
Douglas, that if it had not been for his friend.
ship the South would have shaken hands and
made up with him at Charleston. 1t Is I'M
questionaby true that the fact that torney,
Hickman, Haskin and others have acted the
past winter with the Republicans, has had
great effect in all the slave states against Doug
las but it must be remembered that without
these men and the class of democrats they re-
present Mr.. Douglas had not the chance Vi
triumph in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or even
Illinois. If he had joined the Constitution news
paper in making war upon these gentlemen ne
might perhaps have got the nomination, but he
would have been the weakest candidate OF all
who have been named. Mr. Forney, it is said
is very indignant at the conduct OF the South
at Charleston. and much disappointed at Doug
lass failure to get the nomination at an early
stage Of the balotting.
1t is reported here that the administration
will join the Union party, and advise all good
democrats to do the same. If the Union men
should have wit enough to put up Sam Hous-
ton, they will be almost sure OF the support of
the Administration. Why do not these gen
tlemen take up Mr.. Buchanan himself? He
has refused to allow the use of his name in
any future canvass, it is said, but he would be
willing, for the sake OF Sdvulg the Union, which
is the profession of these politicians, to waive
all personal considerations and reserve, and
run once more.

The QuarreIlng Conventions.

Correspondence of the New York Herald
WASHINGTON, May 4, 1860.-All sorts of
specuations are being INDUCED in by politi.
clans in regard to the two democratic conven-
tons, the northern at Baltimore on the 18th
of June, and the southern at Richmond on the
18th of June. The Richmond convention has
the advantage on account of being called ear
lier. The opinion among the shrewd polit-
clans here is, that the managers of this con-
vention will abandon every thing that looks
like sectionalism, and that the delegates OBJ
posed to Douglas will be elected to it from ev.
cry northern state not already represented
there, and that the convention will nominate
either Guthrie, Hunter, or Breckenridge and
thus destroy the Douglas movement at Balti-
more on the 18th of June.
On the other hand, it is reported that dele.
gates in favor of Doulas will be elected in all
the southern states not represented in the
northern convention at the time of its adjourn
ment. Quite number of delegates have re-
turned from the seige at Charleston, and speak
In very discouragig terms of the prospects of
the party. They can see nothing but evil in
the division. OF course the Douglas men
curse the opponents of their favorte, while
the other side say they were not going to yield
to squater sovereignty and to the demands
OF man who could not pledge single cleo
toral vote north of Mason and Dixon's line
1t IS generally believed that the administration
will take sides against Douglas, upon the
ground that he is wholly unacceptable to the
south.
The friends of Judge Douglas, however, are
in good spirits, and have already commenced
the work of sending out documents. They
believe that the adjournment of the conven-
ton will strengthen Douglas at the SOUTH
while he will lose none Of his popularity at the
north. lie will now be claimed as the union
candidate.
Correspondence of the New York Tribune.
CHARLESTON, Friday, May 4.-Before the
final step was taken, yesterday morning. dis
patches were received from Mr.. Douglas,
through his friends at Washington, advising
an adjournment as the necessary move. He

RoBBERIRs IN MILFoRD.-We noticed several
days ago the committal of several robberies in the
town of Milford. One of the heaviest losers, Leon
ard j. Wilson, apothecary, has recovered his money
He charged the robbery upon suspected per-
son, under such circumstances as led him to make
clean breast of the whole affair, and give up por
ton of his ill-gotten spoils His does not ap
pear in the record The pocket book, with some Of
the papers and money which the thiefhad over look
ed, were subsequently found where he had thrown
them, and restored without loss or harm to the
owner. In connection with these often-repeated
crimes, the Milford Journal arraigns the billiard
rooms, the propriety of licensing which the coming
year is to be agiated in the town meeting to-day
There are said to be thirty men in that town who
are not known to be devoted to any honorable call
ing for livelihood, that they, probably, maintain
themselves by gambling, and that they frequently
allure the novice to their dens The result, the
Journal claims to be only vicious, and lift does not
end in robbery it is not because the influence is not
bad enough.
