That the announcement of Judge Douglas, in 1866, to the Cinotnnati Convention, that whoever re ceived the vote'of the majority was entitled to the nomination, secured the nomination of Pennsylvania’s candidate, and Allayed the bitterness of opposition by producing harmonr of aotion, resulting in ocmplete sno oe*s; and in view of this fact, with the. other that Judge Douglas had a majority of, the votes ofthe Charleston Convention, du*ydem*Bds that tho de’egates from the home of Buohanan should oast their votes at Baltimore inbiefovor,' . • ’ * ' Rttvlved, That the nomination of General Foster at Ramdinf. made br tbo people* and ratified by the Con vention as our candidate for Govornor. iras one fit to he made; a good man and true—as worthy of the honor aa be will prove true to his trust.

Raldkhail the Relegate to the Charles ton Convention from the Banphis diatrlot, was next Introduced, aod presented the issue between Douglas tfnd h!s foes most forcibly. Be spoke of the present National Administration, in Its de parture from, the landmarks of the' Democratic party, mere in sorrow than In censure. He asked his andienee'if they were prepared to leave the ground upon which they battled and were victo rious in 1866. He referred to his visit Bontb, and said-that his intercourse with the people there, and, in many eases, with the' politicians, before they had been tampered with by Slidbll, Bayard* and others of politics! Botej, led him, from admira tion of the great Illinois Senator, into the most enthusiastic and determined support. The speaker next proceeded to review the course of the delegates at Charleston, and showed clearly that the course of many Southern members* aided by rroreant delegates misrepresenting their con stituency, would, if suoeeesfnl, have placed the Demoeratie party'in-the position of sanction ing the opening of that most barbarous of all practices—the African slave trade. ’Mr. Hal dshaw skid he went to Charleston prepared to vote for other candidates than Stxphin A. Douglas, but' after seeing the intention of, Douglas’ 'foes, he 'was prepared to stand by! Douglas to the crack of doom. [Long and loud! applause, j ’ The speaker then read an extract-from the' Montgomery Confederation, one of the organs of Mr Tavoey and his colleagues* as follows: “ij want the cotton States precipitated into a revolu-' tion.” - He then compared- the case of Douglas, with that of the great Jackson* and concluded by arsuring his vast audiODO© that, like “ Old Bioko tj,” he would crush his foes beneath the weight of 'the mighty troth he ft ably represented. ; ’ Mr. L. 0, Cassidy was then introduced by the chairman as the gallant defender of the pledges of the Reading Convention. Mr. Cassidy com-' menoed by a reference to the man who, but a short time ago, had*’declared that Stephen A. Dou glas was the head and front of the Demoeratie party/ Now these these Dawsons, Biglers, Benjamins, Ao., saw fit to denounce Mr. Douglas as the worst of men He then proceeded to review the harmony of Mr. Douglas’ views with those of Lewis Cass’ Nicholson letter, with those of ail tbo leading Democrats of 1860, and with those of good Democrats in 1852. He asked If he (Douglas) was not applauded as a good Democrat in 1854 ? And in 185fe, at ftie Convention in Cincinnati, Mr. Dou glas was sustained by every Southern State, wbioh, after they abandoned Mr. Pierce, voted for Mr. Douglas. Mr Buchanan was elected, and was enable to boar a rival near the throne. He did not believe that Mr. Buchanan was no candidate for the succession, and it was because Mr. B. knew that Douglas was the great man before the peo ple that he has been pursued with such uncom promising bitterness. . He said the Almighty held the ‘ weal of this, great country in Ms hand, ana has always in his wise provi dence raised up the right man for the emer gency., He believed; aa firmly as he lived* that Stephen A. Douglas was the man designed by the Almighty to crush out secession at the North ' and South. Mr. ,Cassidy changed the nntl-Douglss men belonging to the Pennsylvania delegation in the Charleston Convention, with voting in the oau ous In direot opposition to the resolutions laid down at Reading. He reviewed the history of the Penn- Bjlvanla delegation' in. caucus, and referred to the resolution offered by Mr. Bigler to pro tect persons and property on the high seas. He showed that Bigler knew it meant the Go vernment of the United States must protect the slave trade on . the high' seas. Mr. Cassidy said he wished it distinctly understood that he was opposed to the admission of the men who volunta rily seceded from the Charleston Convention. They were no longer members of the Convehtion whioh will,meet at Baltimore. They had*out adrift, and could never agree to taking them back unless they entered the party and worked their way up in good fattb.

From' Washington. ' Washington, June 7.—-The report made by Se nator Bayard, from the Judioiary Committee to* day, accompanying the bill, for the ,execution of the process of the Senate for the arrfiit of Sanborn and others, assumes the ground that the serving of; a warrant for such a purpose Is the execution of the process, and on the authorities oited, is a purely ministerial aot; and, therefore; both on the princi ple, and by authority, may bo lawfully executed by any person authorized by the officer to perform the partfoular aot. It is not contended that a Ser geant-at-Arms oan appoint a general deputy, vest ing all his own functions In him, but that ho may, on the general priooiples of the law, depute the au thority to perform a merely ministerial aot to a third person, who may be only as to that aot bis special deputy. The legal intendment must be that the Senate intended that the process issued to the Sergeant-at-Anns' by its President'shall he served by a deputy. . This MU is based oiple, and grows out of the unsuccessful effort to arrest Sanborn and John Brown, Jr. The recently published statements relative to Mr. Cox. of Ohio, to qonn.?otion with the Lecomp ton and Kansas bills, and whioh insinuated somei corrupt advances to Mr. Cox, were thoroughly re fated oy the sworn statements' of that gentleman. The Govode Committee fully exoulpated him from any shadow of improper influences. The state ment that the postmaster at Columbus was imme diately appointed on Mr« Cox’s voting for the Eng lish biU is a mistake. It was eight months after wards, and had no connection with that measure. The vacanoy was sot ereated till the autumn of 1858. ~ ' Notwithstanding the Senate has oonourred in the House 'resolution to adjourn Congress on the ]Bth inat, it. is tbo-opinion of various members of both branches that tho time will have to bo ex tended at least till the 25tb, in order to dispose of all the pending public business. A private despatch states that the Democrats of the Second Congressional dUtriot of Indiana havo nominated General James A. Cravens as their Congressional oandidate. The district Is at present represented by Hon. Wm. H, Enel tab, who de clined being a oandidate for renomtn&tion. Charles G Baylor has been nominated by tbe President to tbe senate as consul at Cologne. This appointment is considered important in connection with the development of a direct trade between Germany and the tobacco and cotton States of this oonntry, Mr. Baylor being prominently identified with this oommeroiai enterprise. The Japanese. RELIGIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH THRU FROM* - Washington, June 7 —Sundry persons here, having interested themselves in the spiritual wel fare of the Japanese, they have formally declined all religious communications, on the ground that but one religion is known and recognised by tbe laws of Japan, and they are forbidden in any man ner to take part or be present at the celebration of any other. They, however, express their acknow ledgments for toe Interest and kind attentions of their Amerioan friends. After this expression of their views they were assured that, while It was tbe duty of tbe officer In charge to communioate to them the fact of the offers of religious bo6ks, and Invitations to attend places'of worship, it was not the desire of the Government in any way to force their inclinations, and that their wishes would ho respeoted; at whioh assurance they oxpressed their, gratifi cation. i - - The Pacific Telegraph Bill* THE EOUSB AMENDMENTS. Washington, June 7. —Mach disappointment is felt by those who desired to hasten tbe consumma tion of so important a commercial and political event as the telegraph connection of tbe Paeifio with the Atlantio the present condition of Senator G win’s bill. The provisions of the bill are not considered to be more than just and liberal by tbe most disinterested parties, when it is con sidered that It proposes the building of 1,800 miles of telegraph at a cost of from one to two millions of dollars ; and yet it has been so badly emascu lated in the House by amendments, that it is now very doubtful whether tho parties who originally stood ready to oarry out its provisions will have anything further to do with it. And it U evident that when aach experienced and wealthy telegraph ers as Hiram Sibley, John D. Gabon, John H. Ber ryhiil, Herman Green, Frederiok A. Bee, Charles M. Stebbios, Thomas R. Walker, and Zen&s Bar num propounoe the House bill impracticable, no other parties will feel disposed to touch It. Under all tbe eiroumstances, it is to bo hoped that tbe House in its next action on this biU will recede from its amendments and pass the hill in the shape in which itleft the Senate.

FlaunUe* roy to the troeps not to attack the Indiana if it could be poFsibly avoided. Six companies left Pawnee Fork on the Ist Inst., as a scout, and if they do not receive countermand ing orders, they will no doubt drive the Indians from the road or whip them into submission.
