The Baltimore Contention—Threats of the Seceders Possibility of No Nomination

The New York Times, June 15, 1860

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.

Washington, Thursday, June 14, 1860

The city is again filled with Delegates, discussing the chances of candidates in Baltimore. The friends of DOUGLAS are still sanguine, while the ultras swear terribly, and threaten to break up the Convention, if DOUGLAS does not yield. The Georgia Delegates have declared their intention not to enter the Convention, but to remain here and await the result. The Delegates are steaming freely, and a collision among them, in advance, would cause no surprise here. It seems to be quite certain that DOUGLAS or no one, will be nominated at Baltimore. The Republicans can draw great encouragement from the prospects of a Democratic explosion. The most bitter partisan feeling is displaying itself on the floor of the House, and the Opposition vote down everything indiscriminately that they do not themselves propose.

Mr. YANCRY receives a serenade to night from the Southern fire-eaters.
