One year from the presen, time will find the we OF
another presidential contest. The premlnsrles on all
sides already progress but with less public demon
s,ra,ion than usual Candidates are anxious and busy
political wire pulers socious and perpexed while
the grea, mass OF the people are attending TO their own
| concerns, as usual.
| Both parties will hold national conventions and il
any nominations there be made, each party will an.
doubleday support its own nominee But the political
signs OF the times not propItious The skies are not
halcyon The old party lines have been so far super
seeded that old party will no, have their accus-
toned weight New will be presented new pledges
exacied, combinations formed and perhaps new re-
suits attained. We shall have chapter opened in
political history what may read there will become
| evident in due time.
The great mass Of beth the wing and democratic parties
in The northern States DESTROYS Of dropping all
growing out OF slavery IN the coming contest They
ures and regard for the peace OF the country require
them do Various signs indicate that they will no,
be permitted TO pursue this course. Organizations have
formed Tor the purpose oil forcing the slavery issue
into the contest The election in Pennsylvania shows
that large body OF wings claiming 10 be friends oil the
wing administration, break loose from the wing organi
zaon and defeat the wing candidate for governor The
Ohio election shows that great numbers OF wings desert
the whig ticket because IT ~ not sufhceny opposed to
the extension OF slavery In the southern States the
wings have elected democrat governor OF Georgia, and
will elect another democrat governor of mississippi
These facts show that the old political organizations
sadly shattered At the South they have been com
petey blown up and al the North their cohesion threat,
ems TO yield at any momen, TO new combinations An
electric shock often pfecipiaies chemical substances IN
aolu,on, and produces new aHiniies lbe approaching
national conventions likely 10 exert similar power
on The political organizations OF the country
We publish in another column a letter IRON Governor
Brown, Of Florida upon The sublec, of wing nomna-
tios for the presidency He thinks that convention
ought to assemble and that the southern wings ought 10
nd delegates TO itlbat resolution should be oHeed
requiring nominee pledge himself TO The snppor,
OF the compromise measures, and cspctty me Jng,nve
iaw and his disdpprova Of any repeal OF modnen-
ton Off" II the resolution should not be adopted he
advises the southern delegates to rdau from The con-
vention. We have little doubt that this course will be
pursued IL accord. with precedenis already established
In the wing congressional caucus at the opening o. the
session OF 1850. II will be remembered that resolution
was offered pIsdgng the wing party against the Wilmot
pfoviso was Land upon the table by an almost ananl
nous vote whereupon Messrs. Toombs, Stephens, and
Iaylors administration. The example thus set will
undoubtedly be followed Such a resolution as 10 specl-
led by Governor Brown will probably be introduced.
What pai be done nth ~
j will probably be rejected II il should be adopted the
whigs could not carry Ohio (as the recent election
shows) las resentmens bred the recent
election would concnsvely prove) New York las every
body will concede,) nor any Wing New England State
a ADOPTION therefore, would be death TO all hopes OF
whiQ success And as political conventions are held for
the express purpose of securing success infer ba,
such resolution will not be adopted IL is rejected
the southern wings will withdraw, and then shall be
AT sea again with some sort of port perhaps. in PLAIN
sight The convention might proceed and make noni-
nation without any reference to the Souh-openy hostile,
perhaps to the very measures which the revolving south
ern delegates had most AT heart This would then stand
before the county the northern nomnaton-the South
having efnsed 10 have any hand IN IT.
But there il also to be democratic national conven-
ton how will IL fare in this matter sm,lar resolu.
