The only way by which the Southern rights or

Union wings and democrats into grand Union par
ty. To maintain this organization, they must drop
their old whig democratic affinities, prejudces
and principles, and bury all their old measures and

whig ticket, or the democratic ticket the Union
party expodes and the secessionsts will stand be-

neither of these conventions can those States be
counted upon, and Florida and Arkansas, it is pro-

opposition to Scott and Canada will have ticket

The policy of some of the Southern confederacy
leaders OF the South, outside of South Carolina, of
compact body out Of the Union, and into South
ern COME teracy, is the policy of annexation; and
continuing annexat ton until the grand object Of a
disruption is effected. Cuba may do it-Canada
certainly would but if Canada is omitted and Cuba
is acquired, and fails of producing a rupture, st.

The strong policy of necessity will demand an out

further annexations of slave territory will tend t.
hasten rather than delay the experiment.
The letter of Ex-Governor M'Donald, just pro-
mulgated, accepting his nomination the cond-
date for Governor of the Southern rights party of
Georgia, will sustain what has been foreshado wed
in this despatch; and sustains everything urged by
your correspondent in his South Carolina and
Georgia letters, as the principles and views of the
Southern ultras The most import ant point in this
letter, for practical se is the declaration of the
right of State to secedc. If South Carolina Gu
only get another State two formally to declare
the right of seces,ion-the right Of State to 60
out OF the Union, peaceably and at her own option
she may not wait for further cooperation on the
part of her neighbersthere will be necessity to
wait any longer. declaration of the right is a
pledge of cooperation in the act of secession.
The worst of it is that, from all indications this
question Of the right Off State to secede will be
made a question, in all the cotton States, from
Georgia to Texas, inclusive in the new. Presidential
is but the beginning of the fight that issue. He
may be defeated, but the contest will widen; and
the great apprehension is, that too soon, in all the
cotton States, the right of state to secede will be
endorsed and when that is done, if not before,
South Carolina will retire in disgust from her pre-
sent connection with the abolition States of the
North. She is alienated from the Union The love
of Ireland for Great Britain is the affection of South
Carolina for this union. And the declaration of
Governor MDonald, Of the right of secession, has,
thus far, an important meaning in South Carolina.
Ii may possibly involve the decision by the State of
Georgia of the secession of South Carolina, for the
declaration involves the obligation Of assistance.
What notifications this question Of the right Of
secession may give to the campaign of 80, will be
disclosed next winter. In the meantime pending
all the uncertainties of the succession, il seems to
us that the ambition Of so many distinguished can
didates for the chances Of n wing or democratic
nomation, is perfectly absurd The best to be ex-
pected is scrub race, in which the veriest "out-
slider" IL about as likely to win the regular old
bunker favorites. Let us watch and pray. w.
