stead Of a project 70. bargain aad corruption"
with the free soilers. The Southern rights news
r,pers, we are somewhat fearful, will make a war
Of determination upon this corrcspondencc, and all
concerned in the Houston scheme. We hope, how

tie party; and By all means DEMOCRATIC National
Convention TO be opened with fasting, hu niliation
and prayer, in vie Of the iniquites and transgrss
sions that have crept into the party since the de-
Seetion of the barnburners in ISIS. We arc appre-
kensive Of trouble, but VIC hope they viii come 70
