siderable excitement ensued.
Mr.. Fisher denied the right of dele
gates from New York 10 speak on the
subject, and said that when tire letter was
read he had resolution to offer.
Mr.. Cochrane demanded the reading of
the resolution. The question was put to
the Convention whether the letter should
be read. 1t was decided in the affirma-
tive
Mr.. Cochranc mo, cd that the rules of
the last Convention be adopted.
Mr.. Fisher claimed that he had the
floor--immense confusion and cries of
"order."
The President decided that Mr.. Coch-
rane was entitled to the floor.
Mr.. Fisher would not be tramplcd up
on; he had his rights and would main
tain them.
Mr.. Clark, of Alabama, protested
against the decision of the Chairman
The confusion increased
Mr.. Walker, of Alabama, came for
ward, mounted the Clerks table and de-
manded that he be heard, appealing from
tho decision of the Chair.
The question was put on the appeal
and the Chair sustained. Immense
cheering.
Mr.. Fisher again arose and offered TO
present the letter from the Wood delega-
ton.
The President decided the reception of
the letter out of order.

TO appoint committee on permanent or
ganzation.
Mr.. Barksdale, of Mississippi, offered
an amendment, that the committee shall

which there is no contest.
Mr.. Richardson, of Illinois, spoke in
favor of harmony, and urged gentlemen
to keep cool and preserve order
Mr.. Cocbrane did not desire anything
but fair hearing.
Mr.. Cook, of Ohio, offered resolution
excluding only New York and Illinois

egates have been admitted to the floor.
[Cheering and excitement.
Mr.. Cook contended that those who were
admitted to the floor had right to par
ticipate in all the acts Of organization OK
cept the committee on credentials. A

The Registry Law Nullified in Holland

We understand that the board of In
spectors at our Township meeting refused
to examine the Registry book for the
names of persons offering TO vote before
receiving their ballots. An excess of six
ballots more than there were names on
the poll list were found in the box, but
instead Of disposing of them according
10 law, they took vote of the handful
of bystanders, and counted them all IN.
The Higher law is in full blast.

A YOUNG MoTHER-Among the lille
gitimate births in Massachusetts in 1858
there was one case worthy of especial
notice, in consequence of the extreme
youth of the mother. Elizabeth d.
was born Of native parents in the aims
house at Taunton, Nav 25, 1s47, and at
the same place she became the mother
of healthy boy on the first of Februa-
ry, 1858, being only ten years eight
months and seven days old. This ap-
pears to be rare case in this climate,
but it is well attestcd by the physician of
the almshouse at Taunton, who ofiiciated
personally both at the birth of the young
mother and at that Of the child. This
boy weighed eight pounds at birth, and
at the age Of eighteen months weighed
373ibs., and was in the enjoyment of ro-
bus. health.

The Breckenridge and Lane meeting at
the residence of Mr.. Daum, in German
township, yesterday afternoon, was not
largely attended. We judge there were
about 100 persons present, many of them
Douglas and Lincoln men. The Convention
was called to order, and on motion George
W. Mcbride was appointed chairman, and
Geo. Harrin, Secretary.
A Committee consisting of Geo. Finch
of &c s1an township, Mason Newman of
Perry, S. N. Gibson of Center and DR.. Bray,
Major Hughes and Joseph Prichett ofPigeon,
were appointed to draft resolutions.
During the absence of the committee who
retired for consultation, the audience was
addressed by DR.. Sherrod, one of the elect
ors on the Breckenridge ticket. He spoke
at some length, assigning reasons why be
could not support Stephen A. Douglas, He
termed that gentleman traitor to Demo-
cratic principles, and unworthy the support
of Democrats. We made an abstract of his
remarks, but have not the room for their
insertion this morning.
After the speech of DR.. Sherrod, Senator
Fitch made short speech. He, too, was
quite bitter upon Douglas and his adherents.
He said every proffer of peace rendered the
Douglas men by the friends of Mr.. Breck-
inridge had been rejected. Mr. Douglas
seemed only to desire war, and he could
have it to his hearts content.
h. &c fin
ished his remarks-reported series of reso-
lutions which we will publish on Monday.
These resolutions authorized the appoint
ment of a county committee, composed of
one from each township and three from Pig
con, with power to question the candidates
on the Douglas ticket, and if dissatisfied
with said answers to call County Conven-
ton to put other names in nomination
Another resolution propounded an inquiry
to the Douglas candidate for Representative
as to the course he would pursue if elected,
| in regard to the U. S. Senatorship.
The resolution called for pledge from
" Whit yet pledged nothing in return.
Whittlesey, however, thinking the time had
"arriv " to secure the support of the Breck-
inridge men, stepped up promptly and gave
in his adhesion to the requirements of the
resolution. We may have some comments
to make on the position which our aspiring
young friend now occupies, hereafter.
After the short speech of Whittlesey, and
the transaction of some unimportant bust
ness, the meeting adjourned.

DOUGLASS ABUSE OF Henry CLAY.-The
Enqu,rsr says the paragraph we lately pub
lished from the Peoria Democratic Union,
confirming the statement of a Carrolllon
(Ill) paper, that Douglas formerly denounc-
ed Henry Clay, at that place, as a "bLack-
hearted traitor, and the only American
statesman who ever sold himself for British
gold" was copied by the Union for the sake
of denial, aud that said intended denial was
accidentally omitted Well, such a counter
statement, had it been made uusustained by
proof would amount to nothing. 1t is I'M
deuiable that Douglas used similar and still
stronger language, in regard to Mr.. Clay,
in various parts of Illinois
We have already given reliable testimony
as to the outrageous abuse which Douglas
showered upon Mr.. Clay at Jacksonville,
in that State, still more malignant and men
dacious than that of which he was guilty at
Carrolltou. The Enquirer, on the other
hand, has nothing but empty assertions to
offer in reply. and such as are entitled to
no weight whatever. Douglas is unques-
tionably guilty of all that is charged upon
him in regard to his treatment of Henry
Clay. That abuse he has lately very char
acteristically changed into honeyed coaxlng
of the old supporters of Mr.. Clay, because
of tender yearning after Wing votes.

EDITORS JOURNAL The present condi-
ton of political affairs is quite amusing
The Douglas men have a hard time. Situat-
ed gas they are, they are obliged to with
stand the opposition of the Breckenridge
party, yet, worse than all, the great Republi-
can party, aided by the Bell party $50 far as
the State ticket is concerned), are SO strong
as to almost discourage the poor Douglastes
In fact they are so hard run for means o
get along with, that they are obliged to re-
sort to "slippery tricks" as will be seen in
the case which will mention.
On last evening Hon. VIM. Jones of thi q.
County, according to previous arrange
ments, met the citizens of "Old Luce, at
her great metropolis (Eureka), for the pur-
pose of delivering Republican speech
His speech was characterized by great truths
and pointed arguments. Several Democrats
were present, and were so uneasy that they
could net sit still, especially one prominent
merchant, Mr.. l., and n few of his
friends, who used great exertions to disturb
the speaker.
After Mr.. Jones had finished his well
ranged speech, one Dr. H of Rockport
arose and claimed a few minutes to reply TO
it, He proceeded in his usual stereOtyped ar
guments and made n perfect failure. His
friends here express themselves that if he
continues to canvass the county, they are
surely defeated but if be will keep still,
they have slight hope of carrying it by a
small majority. EUREKA.
