THE MOVEMENT FOR MR. DOUGLAS.
The number of communications from all shades
of politicians at Charleston to all shades Of poh-
sians here has been immense. The DRIFT OF them L.
that the general, or outside feeling il for Mr.. Doug
las.
An enthusiastic meeting of the friends Of that
gentleman was held last evening, after which Ok
Governor Aiken was serenaded.
Ihear reliably that Governor Willard and other
prominent Indianians have lately antagoDizcd The
Administration, q fact which perhaps accounts for
the intelligence from Charleston, that the Indians
delegation are now for Mr. Douglas. If this be 50,
the effort of the Administration to allay the hossli
ties created by the appointment of Mr. English as
Marshal Of Indiana. have not availed. Ia other
words. no plan could be devised as to the appoint
mept of persons to take the census In that State.
which could satisfy the parties above referred 70.
The dispatches from Charleston to-day, to the
Douglas interest, do not speak of anything Ike
settled purpose on the part of the delegates from
several Southern States to refuse their support to
tbe Little Giart, if nominated. Such resolution,
ears Mr.. Toombs, would aid Mr.. Douglas. But Is
is certain, that after the admission OF the regular
delegates from New.York and Illinois, resolution
will be proposed pledging each candidate to the
support of the nominee; and it is alec certain that
the introduction of save-code resolutions viii be
promptly follo.e ed by motion TO table them.
Mr.. Buchanan laughs at the idea Of the nomiaa-
ton of Dir. Douglas, saying that be cannot get
AID froU fhuaa
whose treachery to the feeling of the Democratic
masses is counted upon as certain, an idea exists in
official quarters that part of the Connecticut dele
cation occupies like position; but hear, S CON-
ing from wellnforned Democrats that such
count ia idle. An immense official pressure has
also been made upon the Maine delegates, through
Messrs. Wisgin, Moor, Paris, Mcdonald, &c,
but probably without avail. New.York, too 10
counted by the Administration as against Mr..
Douglas
1t is reported here to-day that the Pennsylvania
delegates have decided, by vets Of % to "a, not
10 cart the vote of the State as unit. Also that
Mr.. Craig of Missouri would nominate Mr.. Douglas
in Convention, five out of the nine votes OF that
State being for him.
The editor of TIE augusta Constiaaionaiist writes
here that Mr. Douglas has friends in tue Georgia
delegation. But thus much may be said Of several
Southern delegations. That they viii cooperate
with the true friends of Judge Douglas in reseoting
the threats of the Disunion DULLES is q matter Of
great doubt.
The Hon George Briggs talks publicly Of sup.
porting Mr. Douglas to the extent of his means, II
lie be nominated.
MR.. GUTHRIE's CHANCES.
II has been assumed here that there was no real
feeling for Mr. Guthrie on the part of the Kentucky
delegates; but late and reliable information dissi-
pates this delightful Illusion of the ardent friends Of
Mr.. Breckenridge.
DECLARATIONS.
Things at Charleston may be complicated bys
declina.ion of Mr.. Jefferson Davis to be candi
date for President before the Convention; and 50
also they may be by Gov. Wise's intimation that
Mr.. Hunter is not the choice of Virginia.
THE JAPANESE EMBASSY.

Embassy has been vested in Capt. Dupont u

INSANITY OF JUDGE YOUNG.
II ia stated that Judge Young, formerly Ccmmis
soner of Patents, has become insane.
THE EFFECT OF GOV. WALKERS DISCLOSURES.
The Constitution has made some sorry attempts
to defend the President from the implicstcns Of
wrong raised by the disclosures Of Gov. Walker
but the course of The Herald on this point, ia veT
dishearteppg to the few that still care for the Presi
dent. Nobody supposes that ho ~as Ignorant

Walker.
