their stumpsl Where 10 the Princel Whist has be
been about, that Mr.. Pauldng il thus permitted to
dive headlong into the dismal swamp Of secession
Look at It, Does not this letter raise the question,
20 i~stami, What's in the wind 1t may not be
surprising to the Southern Rights Association Of
Charleston, nor to the editors Of the Charleston Mr
curry and the Southern Press, by whom this procla-
nation Of Mr.. Pauldng is highly commended; for,
if We mistake not, Mr.. p. was, for some time past
contrbutorto the latter journal, in the character
of Northern man with Southern principles. Bat
this letter win surprise barn burners from Kinder
hook to st. Louis, andmay possibly play the very
deuce with their calculations.
Mr. Paulding, IL will be recollected, is literary
gentleman of strong political aspr ations. He is
the author Of" Salmagundi and " Nimrod Wild
FIRE ;" and was Martin Van Buren's Secretary Of
the Navy. According to the editor ofthe Washing
ton Union, when President Van Buren, took his pill
grirage to Tennessee and the Hermitage, accom-
panied by Secretary Pauldipg, the noisy enthusiasm
ofthe " "unterriied democracy " gave the honorable
him uncomfortable to all concerned. Says the
tnion:-

Major Donelson-not c. H. Donaldson, of Tex
as-supposes that, in some such f. as this, Mr..
Paulding must have written this South Caro-
lima letter; but we apprehend it is the cool
product Of deliberate calculation. 1t is bid for
the chances Of the Presidency. If the State rights
party Of the South, including South Carolina,
should recede from secession and combine for an
independent ticket for the Presidency, it will n
doubt be good policy to have Northern man the
first or second On the ticket. Things may come to
that-no telling. One thing is conclusive what
ever may co me to pass, Mr.. Paulding has put in
the strongest bid for the support of the Southern
ultras The doctrine Of General Cass of inter-
ventior-the doctrine of Mr.. Buchanan, Of the line
of 36-30-the liberal views of Judge Douglas upon
the colt CROP in his late agricultural oration at
Rochester, are all completely cut under by .he bid
Of Mr.. Paulding, in setting forth and recommend
ing the doctrines Of secession pronounced to be or
thodox by the leading secession organs of South
Carolina and Washington.
What effect this extraor binary letter is to have
upon the harmonious democracy of the State, is the
next consideration. The political relations between
the Van Burens and Mr.. Paulding hardly be
the same as on the occasion Of the Tennessee pill
grimsge; nor is there much affinity between the
Rufalo platform and the South Carolina project Of
secession. The barnbuiners and the hunkers have
nominaly agreed to coalesce at Syracuse; but the
tide and the current appear to be against them.
The plan Of the coalition, to many Of the oldest Of
the old hunkers, is not satisfactory. 1t no more
suits them than the whig platform suits the Castle
Garden Union Safety Committee. We suspect
there is . screw loose in Tammany Hail. and that
it will require all the tact and talents Of Prince
John and the Post to keep the machinery in work.
Ing order. The letter Of Mr. Paulding must exert
some influence over the hunkers while the existing
detection in the ranks is quite enough for present
encouragement. In word, We see no prospect for
harmonious mingling of the democracy in an
other National Convention, whstever may be the
time and place appointed-very little prospect for
John Van Buren or for Mr.. Paulding. Let US wait
and see.
