We would ask our exchanges in this State to notice the mass Congressional meetings called in this paper, or at least, the one called f r their Congressional District. By doing so, they will confer a favor that will be reciprocated. We want the people to attend these meetings! to hear the time National Democratic principles vindicated, and we would like them to have full no'ice of it in each Congressional district. The New York Fusion. The coalition between the Douglas men and the Kiiow-Nothings in the Empire State does not woikas w elt as the contracting parties expected. The contract, by which ten old Bell-wethers were put on the Electoral ticket, with twenty-five friends of the little Sucker, excites a good deal of contention amongst the honest men of both parties. The leaders of one faction tell their followers that if the ticket should be successful, all the electors will vote for Douglas. The managers of the. other faction say that, in such an event, ten of them will vote for Bell. But the rank and file of both factions are not satisfied. They see, plainly, that one or the other must be cheated. The adopted citizens the Germans and Irish, especially who constitute one-third of the votes of New York city almost unanimously resist the coalition. They will not countenance it in any shape. It is said that the Douglas party has lost at least fifty thousand votes in the State by this disgraceful maneuver. It is bound to fizzle out before the election. Another of His Tricks. It is reported on the streets that the leaders of the faction have arranged to have the stump candidate visit this city on the 19th inst., the day set lor the State Military Encampment, jo as to claim the attendance as simpl- and purely to see Stephen. It is cxpectedi of course, that the Military Companies will meet him at the Depot, and escort him to their encain; ment grounds, where he will enlighten them on his peculiar views of squatter sovereignty. Whether this beautiful arrangement will meet the views of the Breckinridge, Bell, and Lincoln men in the companies, remains to be seen. It is a good plan to get cheap music, and a crowd, so as to telegraph to the world that the military of Indiana delight to honor " the rising man." But will it work ? We shall see. How it is in Virginia. The Richmond E inquirer says: "With all the means of authentic information within our reach, and by the most liberal calculation, we find that Mr. Douglas cannot count an average of 50 supporters in each county of the State. Such an average would give him, in all, about 7,500 vote General consent has fixed the u-ual Democratic majority in Virginia at about 10,000. Thus, supposing that the entire opposition vote should be concentrated on John Bell and, supposing, too, that the entire Doug'as vote shall be abstracted from the Democratic ranks, the above figures would leave the Breckinridge ticket a plurality of 2,500 votes." 6T A handsome grove adjoining the town of Anderson, has been secured by Mr. Samuel Seward, for the Congressional Mass Meeting at that place. We can assure Mr. Seward, and all others, that Mr. Bright and Mr. Fitch will certainly be present at all the mass meetings advertised. Are our friends in other rtg preparing places, and giving notice of thete niass met tings ? Let our frii-mls know it. everywhere.

A Tempest in a Teapot." A week or two since, the Editor of the Old Line Guard, feeling a little encouraged at the success he

had met with, said that the number of subscribers who had already entered their names on his books who are all true friends of Breckinridge and Lane were sufficient to do the business for the Little Giant in this State. The paragraph, in which he said substantially tin's, comprised, if our recollection serves us faithfully, about three lines all told; yet this little paragraph has called forth from the editor of the New Albany Ledger nearly a column of abuse not upon the Editor of the Guard, but upon Senators Bright and Fitch. Thc. Editor of viLdge rh in the plenitude of his wisdom, holds these distinguished gentlemen responsible for the course which the Guard pursues against Mr. Douglas, whom Mr. Norman considers to be, or rather says is, the regular Democratic candidate for the Presidency, although no man knows better than he that such is not the fact. The Ledger accuses Senators Bright and Fitch of getting up all the opposition to Mr. Douglas; and upj on the strength of this, charges them with the basest j "ingratitude" to the Democratic party of Indiana, who, it says, has made them all that they are as public men. I But the Ledger does not very plainly show, what con stitutes this "ingratitude" to the Democratic party of (Indiana, or how Mr. Douglas became its embodiment, t or what his claim of fealtv consists of. Does it con sist in the conduct of Mr. Douglas in the Senate, when ho acted and voted with the Republicans, not only to turn Senators Bright and Fitch out of their seats, but to deprive the State of Indiana of its representation in that body? Does it consist in his arraying himself alongside of Trumbull, Seward, Hale, Wade, and other Republican Senators, in their attempt to defeat the clearly-expressed intentions and wishes of the Democracy of Indiana, who, through their delegates in the Legislature, elected Messrs. Bright and Fitch to rep resent them in the Senate? On this occasion, he was found in opposition not only to all the Democratic members of the Senate, but to all the eighty-three Democratic members of the Legislature of Indiana, comprising the majority of that body, who constituted Messrs, Bright and Fitch the representatives of the State in the Senate. He was then found arm-i.i-ann with the worst enemies of the Democracy in the Sen ate, and with its worst enemies out of the Senate, scheming with them in their plans not only to oust the regular Democratic Senators of this State out of their seats, but to put Henry S. Lane, the present Republican candidate for Governor, and McCarty in tljir places. Let us look at the ayes and noes, when the question was taken on Mr. Trumbull's motion, that Bright and Fitch were not entitled to their 6eats as Senators of Indiana. Here they are : YEAS. Messrs. Broderick, Chandler, Clark, Collamer, Dixon, Doolittle, Douglas, Durkce, Fessenden, j Foot, Foster, Hale, Hamlin, Harlin, Houston, King, Mason. Pearce, Seward, Simmons, Trumbull, Wade land Wilson 23. NAYS. Messrs. Allen, Benjamin, Bigler, Brown, j Clay, Clingman, Davis, Fitzpatrick, Green, Gwin, I Hammond, Hayne, Hunter, Iverson, Johnson of Ari kansas, Johnson of Tennessee, Jones. Kennedy, Mallory, Polk, Pug'i, Ried, Rice, Sebaitain, Slidell, Thompson of Kentucky, Thomson of New Jersey, Toombs, Wright and Yulce: 30. Look at the names. There is recorded the name of Douglas, .along with the names of all the Black Republican Senators with whom he then acted. Can the Editor of the Ledger produce any other evidence of the Little Giant's claim upon Senators Bright and Fitch which would entide him to their "gratitude?" . On this occasion Mr. Douglas leveled a blow not only at these gentlemen not only at the Democracy of Indiana but against the whole Democratic party of the Union. Ho sought to weaken the power of th Administration in the Senate, and to strengthen the influence of the Republicans in that body. He made interest with the Republicans in the Senate, and with Horace Greeley, and other leading Republicans out of the Senate, in order to establish some claim upon them, to exert their influence in Illinois in favor of his own re-election to the Senate. Greeley was seen frequently going into the house of Douglas, at Wash" ington, about this time, and it is well known that he advocated his re-election in the Tribune. Now, would Greeley, who never supported a true Democrat for any office, have done so, if Douglas had not given him. assurance that be would continue to act with the Black Republicans, in the event of his return to the Senate ? No man who knows the Editor of the Tribune, and his deep devotion to the Republican in terests his unceasing efforts to break down the Democratic party can for a moment entertain a doubt that such assurances were given. The argus eves of Senators Bright and Fitch W'ere upon these arch intriguers they were watching them, and their coadjutors in the Senat?, closely they saw all their maneu vers in that body and they were well posted in reference to all their doings out of it; and men of their sagacity could not fail to come to the conclusion that Douglas had then premeditated rank treason to the Democratic party. But the influence of Greeley and his Tribune failed to induce the Republicans of Illinois to adopt Douglas a? their candidate for Senator. They knew the man, and naturally thought that if he would turn traitor to the Democracy to promote his individual interests, he would not hesitate to piove recreant to them also, when it would suit his purpo-e. They preferred Lincoln for Senator, and the main body of the party, in and out of the Legislature of Illinois, gave him their votes. This induced Douglas, who had "checked his baggage through," to stop at the " half-way house" on the Republican road, where he is now found, and where he will be left by the Democracy of the country. All this, we repeat, is well-known to the editor of the Ledger. But the truth Ls, he (like the editor of the State Sentinel.') is actuated by selfish feelings altogether in his abuse of Senators Bright and Fitch. His keen appetite for Treasury pup has not been suf ficiently satiated by these gentlemen. They could not procure for him all the Jut advertising jobs from the Departments of the Government which he looked for, to the exclusion of other and more deserving editors. His eye has been almost constantly fixed npon the Washington papers; and when he saw in them large advertisements for Mail or Army contracts, or any other public printing, the water would sponta neously run outof both corners of his inouth. Although he participated in a good deal of this sort of Govern ment patronage, his avarice was not satisfied. He still expected more; and because Senators Bright and Fitch did not gratify him in this respect to his heart's content, he has indulged himself on this occasion, in ' pouring upon their heads the vials of his wrath. But they "still live" and breathe, and will continue o to do, when t'.io little Giant and his fugleman (Norman) are forgotten. Ix-t the ldnr continue to rnme and

froth let it boil over as often ns it will its ravings will amount to nothings Messrs. Bright and Fitch are doing nothing more against Mr. Douglas than all the Democratic members of the Senate, excopt Mr. I'ugh! They are all, with this solitary exception, found in opposition to him as a candidate for the Presidency. They all scout his claims of being the regular Democratic nominee; and what is butter still, they all support Breckinridge and Lane as the true Democratic standardbearei's. So does nearly every Democratic member of the House of Representatives : so does President Buchanan, Ex-President Tierce, Ex-Senators Cass and Dickinson, and the great mass of the Democracy in all the reliable Democratic States of the Union. Are they all ungrateful to Douglas, as well as Senators Bright and "Fitch o? is he recreant "to thorn?

Breckinridge in the South. The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, in reply to the charge that the States Rights Opposition Convention, which assembled in that city early in July, and declared for Breckinridge, was only a meeting of "fire eating Democrats," says that a Convention was called by a paper now supporting Bell, and also gives a long list of prominent Oppositionists and Old Line Whigs who were in the Convention, and declares that every member was an Opposition man in 1859. This shows which way things are drifting-in the .South.'.' The States rights men of all parties are flocking to the standard of Breckinridge. The Old Whig party was really composed of two wings, one of which called themselves the "State's Rights Whigs," and were Democrats in principle, though Whigs by position. This class is now joining the true Democracy throughout the entire South. In Maryland they have already, almost in a body, declared for Breckinridge, and time will witness the same position assumed by those in every other Southern State. The Old Whig party of the South was a Union party, and though the organization has been broken up by the lashing waves of politics, its members are still as true to the Union and equal rights as steel to the magnet, and are daily proving it by coming out for Breckinridge. Douglas' Pilgrimage. It is a little remarkable that the "little Sucker" skipped over Pennsylvania, in his hunt after his mother. Why did he not make some anxious enquiries after her, in the old Keystone State ? The telegraphic dispatches of yesterday furnished the key. His friend there cut but a sorry figure. At the Democratic Convention of the First Senate District, the Douglas men brought forward their strongest man for Senator Vaux. He had been Mayor of Philadelphia, and had, while in that office, distributed a vast amount of patronage. His friends thought that this patronage would have its influence in procuring him the nomination. But it turned out that the honest Democracy at the Convention were not influenced by such considerations. Randall, a true friend of Breckridge and Lane, was nominated for Senator, by a large majority. Whereupon the Douglas men bolted, left the Convention in a body and proceeded to another place, where they nominated Vaux. As it goes in the First Senate District of Pennsylvania, so it goes throughout the State. The jig is up with the "little Sucker," in Old Pennsylvania; that's a fact. And it will be so everywhere else, before he finds his mother. Douglas' Eeligion. The Washington "States and Union remarks that "the statement that Mr. Douglas has forsaken 'the faith of his forefathers,' and is now 'one of the pillars of St. Aloysius's Catholic Church,' in thatcity is en tirely destitute ot truth.-state Sentinel. The religion of Douglas is somewhat like that of Seward, when he first ran for Governor of New York. On Sunday mornings he attended the Catholic church in the forenoon the Episcopal in the afternoon the Baptist and in the evening the Methodist. Previous to the election he contributed liberally to al the churches; but afterwards the number of his dimes to any grew less by degrees. His religion didn't hurt him, and the votes which his contributions influenced didn't benefit him much. When he entered the different churches, there were more side glances exchanged between the members, than prayers ofl'ered for his election. Gov. Weller of California for Breckinridge and Lane. The story that Ex-Governor Weller, of California, is for Douglas and Johnson, is set at rest by the following letter: San Francisco, July 20, 18G0. Dear Sir: In answer to your letter of the 18th inst., I have to say 3-ou have been misinformed regarding the present political position of Gov. Weller. I have been permitted to peruse a letter he addressed a short time since to one of his friends in an interior county, wherein he uses the following language : " As no nomination was made by the late Convention, in accordance with the rules and usages of the Democratic partyj'we are at liberty to go for either of the candidates recommended by our friends at Baltimore. "For myself, as an old National Democrat, I must give my support to Breckinridge and Lane for the Presidency and Vice Presidency." I am rejoiced to learn that his old friends at Napa are in the same ranks with him, battling for the true Democracy. Very sincerelv your obedient servant, C. L. WELLER. Alex. Montgomery, Esq. Another Candidate for President. It will be seen from the following telegi-am, that Gerrit Smith has been nominated for President by the radical Abolitionists: Syracuse, August 29. The radical Abolition National and State Convention assembled here this morning. About one hundred persons, including several women, were present. A letter was read from Gerrit Smith, containing a draft for S50, to aid in printing tickets, &c. He discouraged the expenditure of much time and money alluded to the sad experience of 1S58 and thought there was little ground for encouragement in the future. Delegates are present from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Massachusetts, Ohio, and New York. The following are the nomiuations made: For President, Gerrit Smith, of New York; for Vice President, Samuel McFarland, of Virginia; for Governor, Wm. (ioodell, of New York city; Lieutenant Governor, Sydney A. Beers, of Brooklyn. G3T As it is in Maryland, so it is throughout the entire South. The members of the " Old Jackson Guard" the good men and the true the men ever faithful among the faithless men who battled for principle, and have been present in every fight where the principles of the party were at stake, are for Breckinridge and Lane for the Union and the Constitution. Missouri. Hon. James S. Green has again taken the stump for Breckinridge and Lank, and will, if his health permits, continue to canvass until the day of election. He spoke at Memphis, on the 18tb; at Lancaster, the 20th; at Kirkcville, the 22d; and ppesk at Edina to-lay.

The Breckinridge Victory in Arkansas. We learn from the St. Louis Bulletin that the election in Arkansas has resulted in the success of the following gentlemen : Governor. .......... .Henry M. Rector, Congress, 1st Dist.. . . . Tlios. C. Hindman, Do. 2d " Edward Gantt. These aro all strong Breckinridge men. The Bulletin says :'"'' " We learn from a prominent gentleman of Arkansas, now in the city, that the contest in that State between Messrs. Johnson and Rector was a purely personal one, both being strong supporters of Breckinridge and Lane. Of the two, Mr. Rector, the Governor elect, our informant says, is by far the more ultra States Rights Democrat, and was, therefore, bitterly opposed by Rust, Flournoy and the other Douglas leaders. When it was announced that Johnson

was elected, the Republican and the Cincinnati Enquirer, as usual, claimed it as a Douglas victory. If they had not been in too great a hurry, they would doubtless have claimed that JUr. Kector was a Doug las man, and that he had beaten fhe regular Breckin ridge candidate, " Col. Thomas C. Hindman, over whose defeat the Douglasites have been making merry, is elected byja majority of six thousand, and Mr. Gantt, the ultra Breckinridge candidate in the Second District, is elected by about 3,000 majority." The Washington Constitution says : " The late election in Arkansas was for Governor and members of the Legislature. Both candidates for Governor declared themselves for Breckinridge and Lane. Mr. Albert Rust, Douglasite, announced himself a candidate for the United States Senate. The Democrats have elected a majority of the Legislature, but as far as we have yet heard, there has not been a single Douglasite elected. There is no evidence, indeed, in this election, that there is a Doualasite in all Arkansas, except Albert Rust and Mr. Flournoy, above quoted." Sucker and Bell-wether Fusion Repudiated. At a meeting of the American Council of the State of New York, held in Schenectady, on the 28th ultimo Gen. G. A. Scroggs, President, in the Chair the following resolutions were reported by a Committee, and unanimously adopted : Whereas, during the last twelve months our American Party, born of sincere patriot io impulse and called into action by the paramount exigencies of the nation, has been brought into utter and deserved disrepute through the machinations of its corrupt members in coalition with the demagogues of other par ind Whereas, the remnant of our political organizaties tion while representing no positive strength, is yet liable to be misused for the base purposes ot trading politicians who were once prominent Americans, but who are now fallen very low in the opinion of all who cherish the American sentiment ; And, Whereas, the late shameless attempt at bargain and sale of the American vote to a Democratic faction satisfies us that venal men have been too much trusted; therefore be it Resolved, That it is due to-our reputation as honest citizens to stamp with our merited rebuke the wicked and fraudulent effort to unite Americanism with its irreconcilable political and religious enemies. Resolved, That we indignantly repudiate the action of self-styled American Editors, their coadjutors and instruments, who seek through American support to revive and strengthen the stricken and dying Tammany Douglas Democracy of this State. Resolved, That the action of the so-called Constitutional Union Bell party in the State of New York is totally unworthy of our confidence and respect; that said organization is destitute of all the elements that should characterize a healthy political organization, and that the sole object of its leaders in this State is to secure their own aggrandizement and the success of the Democratic party. Diseases of Douglas. We find (says the Louisville Courier) the following catalogue of the diseases which have interfered with the public duties of Mr. Douglas, in one of our exchanges: . "Where was Douglas when the Homestead Bill passed the Senate ? - He had the gout. ; " Where was Douglas when the tributes of respect were paid to Broderick ? He had the pleurisy. "Where was Douglas when the Davis resolutions passed the Senate ? He had the dysentery. "Where was Douglas when the bill for the admis sion of Kansas came up in the Senate ? He had the bowel complaint. " And where was Douglas when the fugitive slave law was voted on in the Senate ?" He had an awful shaking in the knees. How the Republicans Regard Douglas' Speeches. The Albany Evening Journal speaks of Mr. Douglas's recent speech there, as follows: "Mr. Lincoln, if called out by his friends, would have given expression to these sentiments. They are the sentiments of the Republican party. In all the 'slavery agitations' in Congress, since 1850, Republicans have acted on the defensive. Slavery has been the aggressor. " The ground Judge Douglas is compelled to occupy, shows where things are drifting. His section of the Democratic party has ceased to be the jjro-slavery party. It is now in the position (as to slavery) of the Democratic freesoil party of 1858. . Whether like that party, it will, when the election is over, slide back, remains to be seen. Probably not. The census may influence its course. In the meantime, the prin ciples here announced by Hoiwlas will be vindicated and established by the election of a Republican Pres ident. CaTMr. Douglas fears no section, and scorns to en tertain opinions that cannot be uttered in the South as well as in the North. What he knows or feels to be right, he boldly asserts everywhere. If he has sought his mother in Vermont, he has not feared to visit the grave of his wife s mother in the Carohnas. State Sentinel. What disgusting humbug! The "little Sucker" will be more likely to find his political grave "in the Carolinas." North Carolina, at the recent State election gave the Breckinridge and Lane ticket an overwhelming majority. Maryland All Right. The following brief ex. tract is from a private letter from a distinguished Democrat of Baltimore : " There is no State in the Union more reliable for the Constitutional candidates, Breckinridge and Lane, than Manland. Douglas lias no strength worth speaking of, and Bell lias lo-t a large number of those who were members ot, and have been acting with the party. I do not know an intelligent and truthful man but admits that Breckinridge and Lane will car ry Maryland by a handsome majority." Kentucky. The Douglasites in Kentucky appear to be ashamed of their so-called State Convention. The Louisville Courier says : "The list of the delegates in attendance at the Douglas State Convention in this city has not been published. We venture to add, it never will be. They dare not let the world see who and how few were present To do so, would be to prick the bubble of Douglasism in Kentucky to explode their extravagant and unfonnded pretensions. The names vill never lie given to the public." Oregon. The official tables of the recent Con- ' gressional election in Oregon have been published. 1 The total vote of the State cast for Congressmen was 1 11,161 ; the majority of George K. Mieil, the Demo-! : ctatie nominee, over I-ogan. Republican, wa 103. I

From Hi o Boston Post. Large Meeting of the Breckinridge Democracy at Charlestown, Mass. In accordance with a call signed by fifty-seven leading citizens, all National Democrats of Charlestown "in favor of the election of Breckinridge and Lane as the rightfully nominated and true Democratic candidates for President and Vice President of the United Stales," were called upon last evening to assemble at Union Hall, Chelsea street. The response was quite substantial, as at the hour assigned for calling the meeting to order the crowd was altogether too great for the hall, and an adjournment to (he large City Hall was necessary. Hundreds gathered outside, unable to obtain admission, and the meeting was accordingly adjourned to the City Hall.

The meeting was called to order by Hon. G. W ashington Warren, who was subsequently chosen chairman, and the organization was perfectly! by the selec-" tion of Warran Rand as Secretary. Captain W. W. Pierce moved that a Breckinridge and-Lauc club be organized with the choice of a Pres ident, three V ice Presidents from each ward, and two Secretaries. The motion prevailed. On motion, a committee of five from each ward was appointed to retire and select a list of officers for the permanent organization of the Club. Mr. Charles II. Blanchard moved that the same committee be instructed to nominate a list of delegates to attend the State Convention to be held at the Trcmont Temple, in Boston, on the 1 2th of September next During the absence of the committee, the meetin" invited the Hon. Richard Frothingliam, Jr., to address it, who said he was glad to meet so large a body of the old and true Democracy of Bunker Hill. After remarking that every true Democrat, and indeed every true patriot, must deplore the fact '.hat the grCat Democratic party was divided, he glanced at its past work of governing the country, which it had done in a manner to protect the rights and promote the prosperity of the whole. lie then remarked on the nature of this party, with its comprehensive national principles and national objects, to sustain which the sound men of the North and the South had co-operated, and so in every election were seen the great States of New York or Pennsylvania, or both, by the side of Virginia and her sister States. Had not this parly protected the interests of every State ? AVhat State right had it ever invaded ? The present position of the two divisions of the party were then sketched the Douglas and the Breckinridge wings; citing the predictions of Senator Bright and others, to the effect that Senator Douglas would not get an electoral vote, and urged that Breckinridge and Lane, standing by the great principle of the Equality of the States and common right of citizens to protection, were on the. principles of the Old Virginia School of politics, and f,at tht fcount.r? w?uld T1ral!' ro,1,ld ", and bear them on fo a triumph. Having remarked on the hih character of the candidates, he, in conclusion, alluded to the veteran Democrats who were ever true to the Democratic cause who supported this ticket, naming Generals Cass, of Michigan, and Butler, of Kentucky''; Col. Seymour, of Connecticut, and Senators Hunter and Mason, ot Virginia; ex-Presidents Pierce and Tyler, and hosts of other true Democrats all over the country. Thus, whether the party be tested by the principles or by the men who supported it, there could not be a question but that this was the true Democracy of the present and the future and he expressed the conviction that, as he had acted with a united and triumphant Democracy in the past, so in the future he should meet in this place, the same party in a day of success. Mr. Frothingliam was applauded throughout. Purser Rittenhouse, introduced by the President as of the " old Virginia stock," amid great applause, was the next speaker. He said that of all the subjects of political regret the fact that this great and glorious Democratic party was becoming divided held preeminent position, and the inroads which fanaticism was making presented a spectacle most deeply to be deplored. Were the hopes of America to be disappointed, and was a great national political organization to be broken up and completely obliterated for the purpose of advancing the interests of a single individual ? ' He thought they should not, and deemed the course of action which should uncompromisingly urge the elevation of a man above the caust as bringing a host of evils in its train. He spoke eloquently of the rights of the States of the true doctrine of non-intervention and said we had nothing to fear from the South unless we destroyed their products, and thereby robbed ourselves. He spoke of the influence of the agitation which tended to ruin the business and wreck the prosperity of New England, and refuted the charges of Helper and his associates of the Republican party against the institutions of the South. The South claimed an equal heritage in the noble annals of the country, and was confidently looking for a reaction in the tide of fanaticism that is now hurrying forward and carrying all before it to dire and utter destruction. In conclusion, he expressed his sincere sympathy with the objects of this meeting. Louisiana. Concerning the late rousing Breckinridge and Lane meeting in New Orleans, the Delia says: "It was the largest meeting ever known to be held in this city during the past ten years. From Royal to Bourbon street, along Canal street, was one dense mass of human beings, every one of whom vociferously cheered in the cause of the true Democracy of the South. The balconies along the streets were thronged with the fair sex, who lent their cheering presence to the imjwsing scene, and gave demonstrations of their patriotic feelings by the waving of banners arranged for the occasion, and the cheers of their truthful voices in the good cause of Breckinridge and Lane. We do not remember to have seen such a gala scene. torches in tneir Dniiianey, oaniierg in mcir elegance ' of design, and transparencies, bearing appropriate illustrations and sentiments, caused this meeting to bo the best indication of the true and undivided political sentiment of New Orleans." Even the .Picayune, the Bell and Everett organ, admits the imposing and magnificent nature of the turn out, which seems to have been in striking contrast with the Douglas fizzle which took place in New Orleans some we ks ago. Democratic State Convention. Hartford, August 30th. The Democratic State Convention, held here yesterday, resulted in the nomination of a clear Douglas ticket. There were some four hundred delegates present the Breckinridge wing being in the minority. A good deal of ill-feeling, interspersed with personalities, characterized the debates between the two wings. The following is the eleetoial ticket: Electors at Large Samuel Colt, of Hartford, and Joan J. Penrose. Resolutions were passed endorsing the CharlestonBaltimore platform, and recommending the same for adoption by the Democracy of Connecticut, and recognizing Douglas and Johnson as the regularly nominated candidates of thd National Democracy. An effort was made to offer a clause to one of the resolutions instructing the delegates to vote for some other candidate than Douglas, in order to defeat Lincoln, but it was rejected yeas 152, nays 220. There will probably be a Breckinridge Convention called, and another ticket nominated. Why Fernando Wood Supports Douglas. A Washington correspondent says: "I have just learned positively, what has before been hinted, viz : the cause of Mayor Wood's support of Douglas. Fernando pretend to repudiate squatter Sovereignty, but supports the Illinois Senator for other reasons. These reasons, I learn, are, that he lent Judge Douglas $40,000 to carry his election for Senator against Lincoln, and the amonnt is still owing. As the Judge is well known to be entirely insolvent, the only wav Fernan do hopes to get his money la-k is to elect Douglas President. f3"The Atalanta, Ga., Confederacy the most realous Douglas paper at the South boasts that, through Jlr. Douglas exertions, Mnvcry ha- been extecaea from 86 degrees SO minuti-s to the SSth parallel north latitude.
