Here are materials enough for very interesting
contest. The proceedings Of the South Carolina
Convention will only add fuel to the fame, and be-
fore the time for the nomination Of President
comes it Is impossible to tell where the South will
be, or the parties Of the South.
While politics in Georgia and politicians are in
state of transition, Mr.. Yancey, in Alabama, .
thorough secessonist, and his party, seem to have
wakened up powerful reaction against the federal
government and the Unisn, a re action rhich
scarcely leaves doubt that the democratic party
Of that State will be merged in o Southern rights

In Mississippi, Gen. Foote occupies exactly the
position Of Mr.. Cobb in Georgia. lie is the candi-

so fattering as those of Cobb. Mississippi, like

Meantime, FROM the dislocated and mangied con-

potential power of the slavery question, and the
Refrigerated agitation Of the abolition inoen-
diaries Of the North, cannot expect the Seuthsr m
States to pledge Themselves either to the Pniadel

Presidency. The wings may eject democratic
