He had one more word to say. He was given to understand that this reception was tendered not only by his own party supporters, but by men of all parties.--This is as it should be. If Judge Douglas had been elected and had been here on his way to Washington, as I am to-night, the Republicans should have joined his supporters in welcoming him just as his friends have joined with mine to-night.

The domestic produce trade is limited for want of supplies prices are firm at former rates. The work on the new Almaden quicksilver mines has been resumed. The attempted caucus of the Douglas Democrats on the United States Senatorial question has failed. The tendency of parties still favors a coalition between the Republicans and Northern Douglas sites on the one side, and between the chivalry wing of the Douglasites and the Breckinridge Democrats on the other, thus reducing the Legislature to two parties of about equal strength.
