from hit campaign of 1858, will.
Douglas, for the U. S. Senate, in wbick
boih stumped the State, the result being
the triumnh of Douglas by a small majoiity
in the State legislature. The interest
of the whole country was enlisted
in the contest, from its peculiar character,
though the South generally stood
indifferent, believing that they weio
Arcades ambo, so far as her interest was
involved in the struggle. The nomination
will not fail to create a lukewarm*
nem among tbe fiieuda of Seward, extending,
perhaps, to tbe entire ultra '
wing of the party. There is, however,
not tbe slightest danger of Mr. Lincoln's
election, even though tbe entire abolition
faction should come up warmly
to his support.
The South has now two enemies in
the field?or will have so aoon as tbe
Baltimore Democratic nomination shall
baveheen made?Lincoln and Douglas. .r.
