Joe Lane, of Oregon, for the aame offices. It aonounces that both Conventions were in sessien at ths same time, and in the same city. It announces that Caleb Cushing, tbe President of the first Democratic Convention, left the chair, then left the Convention, and with zed another Convention, became its presiding officer, and put in nomination for the highest offices in the gift of this people, the gentlemen last above named. Such is the interesting outline of the news in to-day's issue of the Express news that absorbs the publia mind to a degree of intensity seldom witnessed. For almost half a century has the Demo cratic party lad the control of the affairs of this General Government. It haa been the most powerful, tbe most imperious, and the most corrupt party that waa ever organized in a popular form of government. Ita behests became the law and its political dogmas assumed the binding force of legislative enactments. It did not request, but it commended its members. It used the official positions of the Federal Govrnmnt for the motit COfTUCt DUrDOSeS. and exhausted tbe Treasury of the Nation with a mercenary and reckless hand. The individual whom it made President, haa been proven guilty of official peculations, vice and immorality and wickedness and dishonesty sulks bare-faced through all tbe departments and exults in their corrupt achievements. It haa grown old in sin, and as the crowirg act of its audacity and wickedness.it trowed ita willingness to dissolve this Union, and it haa dUaolatd itttlj That same Frovideiie who gave this government to oar fathers, threw dissentions amoog those men recently assembled at Baltimore, checked tbeir onward course of corruption and dissolution, and will bring back our institutions to that degree of purity which they possessed when our fathers gve them to their children. We recognise more than the Land of man io all this. Tbe political condition of atfiirs in thi government if, at this time, singu!arly peculiar. The Democratic party Laving divided, there are two candidates io the t eld for the Pr?sidency, both clsiming to represent the true doctrines of that party. Mr. Douglas evident!) i the exponent of the Democratic party North, aud Mr. . Breckenridge of the South. The one, on der tbe circumstance, can not hope to carry ore Northern Slate, while the other uay, by poMbilify, carry a large nuui ber, if not all tLe Slatea south of Msaon fe Dixen'e line Am electoral ticket, we have do doubl, will be formed for each throughout the North, and perhaps some of the Southern States. Tbe administration, which is fully represented by Mr. Breck er.ndge, will pi'sh his claims, and stand by his fortunes through the North, bile thf Southern Stare, which are so largely Dr"cri'ie. ill. in all probability, give hioi tlivir riitirr electoral vote. The cbancof Mr. B-ll in the Southern Statea are thus effectually destroyed, aud hence bis friend throughout tbe North will cease to hope for his election. Tbe Democratic party being so largely in the ascendant, in tbe majority, if not all the Southern States, aod bavin? ao popular an exponent of Southern doctrine before the people, must, in all probability, csrry tbe whole South. This being the ease, tbe frieods f Messrs. Bell aud Everett can Lot have the leat hope of carrying any one of the thirty-two State. Under all those circumstances, the pros pect of the uepublican party grown brighter, and the bluest and ioeorruptable man, who, with a unanimity almost onparalleled, wan declared the exponent of . Repallienn sentiment at Chicago, is polit ically certain to be the successor of Jsmes Buchanan: Let aa adopt for our motto, 'friends, "Bejast aod fear not." TVos'roa Aboabd. We received yesterday morning a private dispatch informing we that Slr. Benjsmtai Fitzpatrick after i hariog carefully examined the Douglas acbowaer. has determined Rot to go aboard.

DOlQLAt DEMOSITIUTIOX.
About the feeblest eflort at a desioostra ttoo that could possibly oeeur, took place n I bis city on Saturday ereoiog. When the telegraph first brought the news that the Democratic party had been ahirered into fragtnenti at Baltimore, and. Stephen A. Douglas was the noimee of one of these fragment, a rope wss immediately run from the office of the Terre-Haute Journal I to a grocery on the opposite aide of the street, and on it wae auspended a flag msny thought the flag should be drsped in mourning. Several little stars and stripes, hung from the wiodowa of the office, ana up to 10 o'clock this was the extent of the demonstration. At Wo, a band had been procured, and a squad or toys, ana a lew excitable half grown men followed il along ome of our principal streets, ana squealed out occasionally, "hurrah for Douglas. When the squad, w&icn eurrounaea me music, gos opposite lull ouice, wurir jcu -a . .v-:. I up felinga for the destruction of the old Democratic party, found utterance in aigba and groans, and actually the whole crowd boohooed like whipped children, w neiner the proximity to our otnee produced toia

I certain it is, when uoder our windows, tbe poor fellows groaned and sighed in tbe deepest distress. vVe pittied them, for they looked more like a funeral procession than any thing else. They bad no baunera, no flags, no to-cbligbts. There was do firing of canton, no ringingof bells, no notbiog but a squid of about fifty men and boys, walking io the darkness, to tbe solemn music of the ''dead march." The last we heard of the band, it was olsvin most plsintirely "Auld Lang Syie." crowding up before the exciU'd visions of sincere Democrats, the "days of other Teara" the time when tbe Democratic party was a party which claimed to knnw no North, no South, no East, no West. but only the whole Union. It wss a sad reflection, an J it must have been mur derous to Democratic remembrance, for the musicians to play such a tune, under auch circumstances. We understand some ambitious young men and some fosnils, attempted to make peeches, but the occasion was such a mel ancholy one, aod the surrounding circum st&ncri were so tery dUcouragin g.thtt ereo bad whisky could not make every thing oblivious, and tbe speechea bad tbe soothing effect of a wet blanket to a feverish pa tieut. It was tbe unwilling funeral procession of the once powerful, but now dead Dem ocratic party.

The subjoined article, relating to Mr. Hamlin, the Republican candidate for Vice President, appeared two years since in a western print, before he began to be talked of for the post to which he is now comi nated. Mr. Hamlin's privatelife and habita are aimple as those of Cincinnatus. Such s man is not easily tempted to give up his integtity aa a public man, inasmuch as there is nothing which could b offered him in exchange on which he would place much value: Fromthe st.

and Alabama have taken aeata. Prayerby Rev. Mr. Cummiogs. Mr. Dodge, of Iowa, moved te dispense with the reading of the journal. Agreed to. Mr. Grant, of Ala., moved to have the namea of the delegates from Alabama corrected accordiog to the list sent up. Mr. Caldwell, of Ky., stated, that after the withdrawal of the delegation last eve ning.they held a meetingand re-assembled this morning. The circumstances io which tbey were placed were exceedingly embar rassing, and they were unable to come to a harmonious conclusion. The result is that ten delegates withdraw from the Con vention and nine remain. Those that withdraw beg leave to submit a psper ststing their reasons for withdrawing. Five othera desired for tbe present to sus pend action with the Convention without taking part in any other body. In sus pending their action with the Convention, tbey hope there may yet arrive an oppor tunity to act harmoniously with the Con vention. and. therefore, retain tbeir aeata .nd the ritrht to act with the Convention should such ao opportunity arise. It is the wish of the ten that withdrew that their votes mar not be cast by any other party. The action on tbeir part has been taken without anger and bitterness, and in tbe deepest sorrow. They do not cast censure anywhere. It was not for them to question the action of any independent sovereignty, but it was felt to be their duty and policy to return to their constituenta, tbeni and leave free to act should there be two candidates in the field. He now withdrew the name of that distinguished patriot, Mr. Guthrie, from before the Convention for the Presidency. He then preeented papers from those who suapend action, and also a communication from Oen. Jas. O. Leech, of the retiring delegates, sigmatising the action of the Convention in harsh terms as unfair, undemocratic, aod irregular, and attacking the majority io violent language. The latter paper was read first, and after it had been read, Mr. Payne, of Ohio, moved to return it with the intimation that the Convention declined to receive it. (Cries of yes, yes, that's right.) Mr. Payne did not recognize the right of detegatea aeceding from the Convention to insult the majority, or to impugn the action of the Convention because a majority DSSSed on tbe credentisls of those clsim ing seats in the Convention. Mr. Caldwell assured the Convention that he had no knowledge of the contents of the paper j'ist read. It had been banded to bim While on the floor. The other papers would be found perfectly respectful in language and temper. Mr Payne move I that the psper be handed to ita author. aTr i t T a s.a. . r. oay.es. oi ., nopea toe motion

Mr. Crum, of Mo , hoped that tbe paper would be rece.ved. He desired to defend and justify the action of this Convention on the aubject, and the paper was the best argument against the aecedera. Mr. Richardson, of 111., suggested that the reading of the other papers be completed first. Mr. Leech, of Ky. disclaimed any intention to offer an insult to the Convention or any of its members. He believed that the facta stated in the paper were incon trovertible, and believing them true, he bad stated them plainly, but without in tent to insult tbe Convention . Thereceptioo of tbe paper was unani mously declined, and it was returned to Mr. Leech. Mr. West, of Conn., called for the ques-

Wasbixotojt, June 24. spklcb or mr. docolas. Last night, a procession was formed at the illuroioated Douglas headauarters. and proceeded to the Railroad station, to re cciye the Illinois and other Bsltituore delegates, who were accompanied by tbe great Western Bind, and came by a special train. They repaired to the residence of Mr. Douglas and complimented him with serenade and huzzas. i acknowledging these evidences of j tbeir friendship, he said: Fellow Citizens : I thank you for this manifestation of your kindneaa and enlhu- 1 aiasm. Tbe circumstances under which this vast crowd has assembled spontane ously and without previoua notice, demonstrates an earnestness of feeling which fille my heart with gratitude to be the cho gen standard beerer of the only political organization that is conservative and pow ful enough to save the country from Ab olitionism and disunion. It is. indeed, an I honor of which .nj citl,ell m.y be proud i am fujT impressed with the responsibil ' r l. j a .k-e rv: . I . rroviaence win impart to me ine sirengtu and wisdom to comply with all its requirements. (Applause.) Our beloved country is threatened with a fearful aectionsl an-
tagonismin which the Union itself is in Offices for depositing in tbe aame box letimminent peril. This antagonia-a ia pro- tera for more than one person, and the duced by the effort of one ae..tbn of the maximum rate thua collected for a single Union to use the Federal Government for box ; that it be alao ascertained and reihe purpose of restricting and abolishing ported whether the practice exists at any slavery, and a corresponding effort in the Post Office in distributing and delivering other section for the purpose of forcing letters to box-holders prior in point of slavery into those regions where the people time to the distribution and delivery of
do not want it. (Cries of "that's true.") The ultra men in each aeclion demand Congressional intervention upon the subject of Territories. They agree ia respect to the power sad duty of the Federal Government to control the question, aod differ only aa to the mode of exercising tbe power. ' The one demanda the intervention of the Feveral Ooveroment for alavery, and the other against it. Each appeals to the passions and prejudices of hia section against the peace and hsrmony of the whole country. Cries of "that's so", and applause. On the other hand the position of all conservative and Union loviog men is, or at least ought to be, that of non-intervention of Congress with slavery in the Terri tones. Cries of "that is true doctrine," and applause. Tbis was the position of the Democratic party in the Presidential contests '43, '52. and '56. This was the position npon which Clay, Webster, Cass and the friends of the Uoion, aod a'l political affinities of that day, established tbe compromise of If 1850. Upon this common ground of I non-intervention they contended with, and pot to flight the Abolitionists of the North and the Secessionists of the South in that memorable contest, Cries of "well do it again," and three cheers. It as on this common ground of nonintervention, thst Whigs and Democrats agreed to stand on their respective party platforms of '52, and each party adhered faithfully to this principle, so long as ita organisation was maintained, and the Democrats still maintain it, as the keystone of the arch which binds the Federal Union together, and to this cardinal principle of of non-intervention haa the Democratic party received the pledge of ita faith at Charleston aod Baltimore Cheers and cries of "We'il keep the faith I"J As the choseo represeolativs of that par ty, it is my fixed purpose to keep the faith and redeem that pledge at all hazard and under all circumstances. Three cheers for Dougla The aafety of the Union depends npon the strict adherance lo tt.e devotions of non intervention. Intervention means disunion. Whether by the north or by the south, for or against, slavery (ends directly t disunion. Upon this ideoticsl question ao attempt is now btinj male lo destroy the Demo rra'.ic Prty becaie the minority of inter venlicna'Ut could not intimidate' the majority into an abandonment of the do trines of non-intervention, they have sece.dcd from ihe orgat iralioo of the Demo cratic party, aod are endeavoring to form a new party io hostility to it Cries of let them go, we cau whip the disunionists. North and South secession from the Democratic party means accession from the Federal Union. 'That's so!" and apapplaue. Those who enlist under the secession bsnner now will be expected on tbe fourth of Msrch next to tske up anna against the constituted authorities io certain contiagencies. We are told iu a certain event the Sooth must forcibly reMtl tbe inauguration of the President elect, while we find those who are loudest in their threata of such resistance engsged in the scheme to divide aud destroy tbe Democratic party, thereby securing the election of the Rppullican candidate. Does not this line of policy look lo disunion? Cries of "y eel " Can the seceders fail to peifri bat
their eff irts to divide aod defeat the Democratic party, if successful, must lead directly to the secession of the Southern States. I trust thrt they will see what roust be the result of such a policy, aod return to the organisation aod platform of the party before it is too late to save the eountry. The Union must be preserved, the Constitation must be maintained inviolate, loud cheeriog.l and it is our mission, ander divine providence, as I believe, to save the Constitution and the Union from the assaults of Northern abolitionists and Southern disuniooista. , Enthusiastic applause, aod three cheers for Douglaa . - My friends, 1 have detained you too long; I will close by renewing the expressions of my sincere thanks, Many voices.
