MOhE NOMlNATlONS.


In the present crisis of affairs bnth no roorora
the Democratic party and the best interest ~ tbo
country, 1T is the duty of every true Democrat and
honest patriot to announce his opinions fearless
and explicitly; to declare the which he pur
| poses to pursue, without equivocaton or reserve
and to indicate the candidates whom he intends tC
| support in the approaching presidential contest
| with decision and firmness


For ourselves we mean to perform that duty fully
| and faithfully. We place at the head of paper
to-day, and shall keep them there until the people
decide in November next, the names of John C.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for President and 10
sePh Lane, OF Oregon, for Vice President.
From The Charleston Ereniaq NewSl
IL must form subject of general congratulation
that, IT disruption became inevitable of the De-
mocracy North and South, the reunion of the dele
gates from 0enfy one States preserves an organiza-
tloh retaining those principles of constitutional
democracy which are founded on the equality of
the States in the Union 1t =


The nomination made of these two citizens are
emlnently proper and propitious of success.
From the Charleston Courier


Alter unparalleled struggles and contentious and
dlssensions and after two cases of secession from
so-called National Democratic Convention, A
Convention has presented to the electors of the
United States the names of two citizens worthy of
the two highest Federal offices. Referring to our
Geographic column and to our reports of proceed
lngs for the details far they have reached u.s.
we present summary of facts and particulars con
cernlng the subjects of this most acceptable nomi-
q
Presidency may be redeemed from the grasp of
availability" expedients and double faced decep-
tiors in platforms


From the Charleston Mercurul


Inc Seceders, 1t appears, have nominated John
Z. Rreckinridge, of Kentucky, (the present Vice
President) for President, and General Joseph Lane
OF Oregon, for the Vice-Presidency. This is re-
spectacle ticket in point of ability and has the ad
dltiona merit so far present recollection of
the past course of the nominees u.s. of being
entirely safe for the South. Had it been nominated
at Charleston, we should have been much inclined
to advise the voters of the South, of all parties to
make a common cause of its success in a straight
out fight with the Republicans 1t comes to us
now, though, in very different aspect. 1t is the
ticket OF mere faction that has split off from the
democratic party, and, so far as appears from the
record, Is without the prestige and credit of ma
'ionanty. Gentlemen from several northern States
participated IN the action of the Convention, but
there was not one, we apprehend, who went there
uuiy u accreulted by the people at home 1t remains
20 oe seen whether or not the popular sentiment at
the North will redeem the ticket from the sectional
character with which it is ushered to the country
Unsupported in the North, it is Obliged to do harm
oy dividing the Anti-Republican strength, and
thereby rendering certain the election of Lincoln
1t cannot be elected even should it carry every
Southern State, which is not to be presumed for
while the Democratic vote will be divided with
Douglas, the Wings have ticket in the field fully
equal to 1T In its devotion to the Constitutional
rights of the South, and immeasurably it's superior
in point of ability, craftsmanship, experience and
public service


Upon the whole, regard any nomination at
all by the Seceders unfortunate step for the
cause of conservatism.


From the NelU Orleans DeIta.l


Our full telegraphc dispatches bring the glorious
tdings that Breckenridge has been nominated by
the National Democratic Convention at Baltimore
for President, and Lane for Vice President. There
is fail in this ticket. 1t is one that will be en-
dorsed by every true hearted Southerner, as well
as by every patriot of the land.


From the Alexandria Tirginia Sentinel


so Tar as 1t may be in contemplation to organize
Douglas and Breckenridge war in Virginia we
wish to say in advance that we shall be most slowly
and reluctantly drawn into it. We have no stomach
for such a fight. 1t would be war between the
right hand and the left-a of mere suicide
We urge the Democracy, those with whom we have
fought many campaign, to consider long before
they embark in such course.


From the SdUdnndh Ne1uS


We hear but one opinion of the Democratic nom
nations for President and Vice Presdent-Breck-
enridge and Lane-and that is unqualified and cor
dial approval. The Democracy has within It's
ranks many sound statesmen, who would command
the hearty support and confidence of the party
but none more worthy or acceptable than the dis
tinguished citizens who have been placed in nomi
nation. The selection indicates the disinterested
patriotism of the South in opposing Douglas and
his pernicious heresy, and will do much towards
cementing the South and West in bonds of mutual
interest and friendship. Better nominations nor
stronger presidential ticket, could not have been
made.


From the Nelo Orleans True DeItal


The announcement last night by telegraph of the
nomination Of Stephen A. Douglas, at the Balti-
more Convention, drove the masses of this city into


furore of exutaton, such as never before occurred
in New Orleans. As soon as the True Delta flag
was thrown to the breeze, with the words attached
to its graceful folds "Douglas triumphant" rush
was made to the office of the Organ of the People,
and in less than ten minutes afterwards the streets
were crowded with living, moving mass of human
whose cheers
