    Re-election of Senator Douglas.

    Mr. Douglas was re-elected yesterday as Senator from Illinois for the term of six years from March 4th, 1859. The vote in Joint Convention stood, 54 for Douglas: 46 for Lincoln. The Democracy made as much fuss over it as though the event had been dubious and unexpected. Mr. D can now finish his wanderings, take his seat and uncork his vials of wrath.
