At least half of the democratic voters of Massachusetts favor the. clec- tion of Breckinridge and Lave. The country party pa- pers are, with few exceptions, in favor of that ticket; ‘and the Boston Post, the democratic organ of 4, iss been for a considerable time zealous iv its opposifion’ to Douglas, and is now as carnest in sup- pert of Breckinridge. ¢ Boston Herald, a penny pa- Per of considerable circulation in Boston and vicinity, is, of the papers which support Dougiss in New jand, perhaps the most influential. In Maine, New Hampshire und Rhode Island the Donglas men are considerably étronger than the other wing of the party; but in Connectient, though there may be a majority favoring Douglas among the rank aud le of the party, the weight of personal iviluence is believed to be with the friends of Breckinridge and Lane. Throughout the several States there is every indication that the faction fight will be most bitter and uncompromising. There is a deal of cursing among Douglas men at the action of the Massa- chusetts delegation in the National Convention in sup- porting the seceders, but in disregarding the preferences of their constituents, as in some instances they probably did, they have doubtless consulted what will be for the best interests of their party finally, whatever the present reeult.

The ratification meeting of the democrats was one of the largest and most enthusiastic political gathering~ ever held in the city, It was announced to take place in Rua. ford Hall, but the press was so great an adjournment to the State House was resolved on. The chairman of the mect ing (Hon. Thomas P. Treadwell) delivered an uddreas, in which he took occasion to declare his satisfaction that the paper which some of the party in the North have re- garded as their organ, the Boston Post, had gone off with the seceders at Charleston and Baltimore. That paper ruled and ruined the democratic party for years. He was glad it had gove off, and that the party was rid of it. That paper bad been eu on goveroment pap for forty years, and with its desertion an incubus would be removed from the dem eratic party of New Eugland that would be truthful and beneficial to the organization forever. Those democrats of the North who had gone of with the seceders, with the government hireclings, be would treot as traitors—enemies in war. Mr. Tread- well spoke highly of Mr. Breckinridge, but said he was in the wrong house, and he could not support him, nor would the democrats of New Hampshire. Colonel John H. George was in pretty much the same strain, without characterizing any of the parties by name. Judge Minot’s remarks were of a conciliatory character. He did not wish to revive the acrimonious feelings exist- at Charleston and Baltimore, but would “let the dead arty bury ite dead.”” He hoped the party in Virgivia, Fraceyiventa, New York and the South would learn wis dom from the past, and if they did, the clouds that now hovered over thet would be dispelled. In any event he said there was but one path of duty for Chat was to «a ton or Haltimore with the avowed determiuation of having Donglas nowipated, or to break up the Convention. This had heen cbarged, but was false. They went there to con- ejlinte, to harmonize, to sacrifice everything but the prin- ciple 10 which the cemocracy of the State hat been cour initted—that of non intervention. Hon. Walter Harriman sait the war on Douglas was a war on the Northern democracy ; and he warned Southern disunioniets that ip their course to strike down Douglas they must walk over budies of bis friewls, the Northorn democracy. Nine-tenths of tho le of New Hampshire, he sail, were in vor of the principle of non intervention. The seceders had |cft thetr bed and board without saffeient cause, and he would forbid all persons from trusting them on the account of the democracy Col. John H.

On the contrary, the evening previous, whenever the name of Douglas was ment! , on ee, cceurrence hailed with a general and hearty outburet cheers, and other demonstrations of enthusiasm. Whether this be a safe criterion upon which to judge of the popularity of the two candidates time will tell. Although the cnthusiasm among democrats ts hy where in town end country for Douglas, there begins be foreshadowed indications that a reaction, to some ex- tent, may occur before November. Some of the leading wen look pale, weak, dispirited. They seem to bo obliged to keep faith to Douglas, as a patient would keep down a dove of calomel and at the command of bis yeician.

All these things considered, the Bougias men must not rest upon thoir oars if they’ would make a strong stand in New Hampshire. There is much work for them to do; and, although it is up hill to contend against so many partice, they must do it, or they may anticipate defeat in this State, hopeless and inevitable. ‘The people are much incensed against the publishers of the Boston Post for having induced them to subscribe to their campaign sheet, and then deserting the party, as they allege. ‘Thousands of copies have been returned to the office of the Post from this region alone, P.

From the following extract from your editorial of this day on “The Southern Opposition,”’ I perceive that you of New York persist in keeping yourselves quite ignorant of Delaware politics. I suppose it is 80 small you cannot rert the metropolitan eye upou it long enough to obtain a judicious view of it:— “At the last clection in Delaware the numbers stood 7,868 against 7.452. Who does not sce that, with two de- miocratic ca in ) the opposition ticket must be elected by a large plurality?” ‘Now the error of your conclusion consists in the fact which you ignore, that there are two ion tickets in Delaware, which will divide the opposition vote prett early in aif. Bell may beat Lincoln one thousand or fit. teen hundred votes, but not more. Mr. Donglas, on the other hand, will not receive more than one thousand votes iv the State, and most persons fay much ieet. The personal enemies of Bayard a fow disappointed office seekers and a limited number of Catholic Irisbmen form the must active and influential of his supporters, pot including a single democratic orator in the State.
