Two Tickets Nominated.
Nomination of Douglas and Fitzpatrick by the Regulars.
Breckinridge and Lane the Candidates of the Seceders.
What is Thought of the Nominations.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.
Baltimore, Sunday, June, 24.
We have assurances from persons who ought to know that both BRECKINRIDGE and LANE will accept their nominations by the Convention of seceders.
It is the game of the Southern wing to defeat an election by the people and carry it into Congress, where they think they are reasonably certain of electing BRECKINRIDGE. The Douglas men here speak openly of preferring LINCOLN’s election to such a result.
YANCEY and other extremists are delighted at the prospect. They say that they can either elect BRECKINRIDGE in the House and thus perpetuate their control over the Government, or else elect LINCOLN, which will give them an opportunity to rally the South in favor of dissolution.
The city is entirely deserted.

Dispatch to the Associated Press.
Baltimore, Sunday, June 24.
The nominations of both the Democratic and the Seceders Conventions, were received well here by their respective friends, but all the outside enthusiasm is for DOUGLAS. There was much excitement last night about the ballots. The nomination of the Seceding Convention was tendered to Mr. GUTHRIE’s friends, as well as to Mr. HUNTER’s, but both candidates declined. It is understood that Mr. BRECKINRIDGE will accept.
A challenge has been sent by A. SMITH, of California, to Mr. NESBITT, of Illinois, who was the Delegate who declared in the Convention, during Mr. SMITH’s offensive remarks, that if Mr. CUSHING, the President, would not protect the members, they would protect themselves.
A large number of persons went to Washington to-day, both the friends of BRECKINRIDGE and DOUGLAS. Most of the New-York delegation return to-night.
