The National Democratic Convention.

From an article in the Southern Press Of yes
terday we should infer that the State Rights
and Secession wing Of the DENocRATIc party
Of the South are not altogether content with
the aspect uf the Presidential question. As
things look, the old VAN BUREN clique are in
the ascendant. Mr. BESToN, Messrs BLAIR
and RivEs, Mr.. DIX, Mr. p. KrNG, and the Al
bany Regency, seem 10 have obtained the mas
terry Of the present DENoCR,Trc organization.
They controlled the recent Congressional eau
Gus, and they IS II probably control the Balti-
more Convention. II is now well understood
that WLLfAM o. BUTLyR is to be put forward
as the especial representative Of this inter
est and there is every reason to believe that
the effort to make him their Presidential can
didate will be successful. How Ear tho extreme
men Of the South will be disposed to adopt
the candidate Of the Frccolers and AbOilionisis,
remains to be seen. They will probably CON
sent 10 any thing thatprOmiscs to re-unite and
restore the DEMocR,rfc party. For while
they will dissent, and possibly dare TO rebel !;
but they will come quietly into the fold at last
with R,NToUL, CHksE, CLEvELAND, MoLoNY,
GrpDfyGs. and their sssDcates. In illustration
of the present views and feelings Of the South
ern Democrats, we think II well TO transfer 10
our columns the following extract from the
article n the Southern Press, to which We have
above alluded
''The pas, history oitbe Democratic party abounds

all aspiring disciyl,s Of tho Dcmoc ratio faith.

but temporary. and all acts Of submission TO irre-
gularities in their historic programme only are.
for the time like the submission of the royalists OF
England to the protoctorate of Cromwell, or Of tho
Legitimists OF France to the ursurpation Of Louis
Napoleon Patience and vigilance may still effect
the work of redemption"
! The Democratic National Committee, at
their recent meeting in this city, determined
that the delegation from each State to the Bal
timore Convention should be only equal in num-
bers to the representation of each State in the
Electoral College. This mode of organizing
the convention the Press considers matter of
great moment, and its speculations on this sub
ject we copy for the especial benefit Of the
Young Democracy" BY "legitimists" of
the party, the Press means the little cabal Of
corrupt politicians who were SO signally de-
feated by General HARRISON in 1910, and by
MIR. Polk in lS44; and who compensated them
selves for the latter defeat by the Buffalo con-
spirary for defeating General CAss in 1913. 1t
is odd enough, to be sure, that after this sue
cession of calamities and left handed triumphs,
they should have managed to get the control of
the organization again, and to govern the move
ments of DEMoCRArIC caucus:
HeCetoforc the States have been very irregu-
larly represented in the Democratic National Con-
vention. Those most convenient have had gene
rally large excess over tho Electoral College
presen taton, while those States at inconvcnent
distance have not unfrequcntly depended upon the
precarious chances of luck for even delegate
to take upon himself the burden of representing the
vote of an entire State. The new plan may tend
to abolish these Inequalities, and may effect regu
lar representation from every State in the Union.
But TO the lfs'imsts Of the purify TO the ddvo~ates
Of restoration, the reduction Of the delegates to
the representation in Congress from each State
is Of the last importance. Where the vote is
given by large delegation, the young Demo-
eracy seldom iail of majority; but where the
delegation is limited to the electoral vote. the
extraneous influences of popular proclivities
substantially excluded Thus, see, that by
the plan of organization. the ligitmists of the
party given advantage in the convention, of
which they have been disposessed since the nomi
nation of Colonel Polk in 1914. including the con-
vention which made that nomination in the face of
the regular order of succession. The late Demo.
cratic caucus at tho Capitol it will be recollected,
tacitly turned the great sectional issue be.
tween the Democrats of the North and the South to
the Baltimore Convention. At that caucus, it will
also be remembered, few southern States Rights
men present. The National Executive Com
mttee have acted with similar reserve. So that
this bone of contention will b. thrown into the con-
vention, upon its meeting, and may still destroy
all the anticipations Of harmony resulting from the
pending armistice. This element in the canvass
gives to the whole matter aspect Of doubt, uR
certainty, and unusual gravity"
The republic., 1852-01-06
From the Providence Journal.
I{OSsnth.

There is a melancholy tone in the latter speeches
of Kossuth that is most touching. He sees, ,-what
il does not require his wonderful power to per-
ceive, that his mission to this country is failure
that he can expect neither the intervention of
Government nor any considerable sum of money ;
and he turns his eyes from this land of happy free
dom to bis own beloved and bleeding country and
is preparing TO go back struggling with the pre-
sent hopelessness of the contest but still ready for
any exertion prepared for any sacrifice, even
| though he can do nothing more than attend
mourner at the "funeral Of freedom"
Kossuth is one of the great men Of the age, one
OF the great men OF modern times, and he possesses
an element of strength that is too often wanting
in men Of lofty intellect and of commanding abili-
ties-the element of purity OF character and sin
gleness of purpose. No selfish object enters into
his designs. He lives only for his country and
for freedom. This it s, even more than bis mar
velIous ability, which wins the hearts Of the peo-
pie, and makes even those bless him who cannot
aid him. Holding firmly to the doctrine Of nom
Intervention, as delivered to Us by Washington,
and as taught by the fathers of the Constitution,
we have struggled against our sympatbies, and
have followed the line of duty in opposing the
proposition which he advances with so much elo-
qucnce, and urges with such generous fervor. For
him, and for the holy in which he is engaged.
we have only good wishes; and we fcrvently hope
that he may live to the leagued despots of Eu-
rope driven from the lands which they have op-
pressed, and the people restored TO the rights of
which they have been deprived. And yet VIC
sometimes doubt If much can be done to hasten
the event which, in the order OF Providence, we
look upon inevitable. The very exertions OF
Kossuth in this country have given warning to the
powers which he hopes to overturn, and long be-
fore single blow can be struck against them they
are prepared to meet the rising of the people.
revolution such as lie desirable in Europe must be
sudden, and its immediate almost accidental.
The rulers must have notice, and the people,
prepared by long hatred Of the Cover nment, aud
impatient Of their wrongs, will start by electric
sympathy, and turn with instructive unanimity TO
the common object. Then rises a popular fury
which nothing withstand, yet which no organ
lied effort can prepare. Thrones and nominations
will sink before it,, leaders will spring up direct
and If wisdom be found to control il after its
cess, there will be good hope for freedom in Eu-
rope.
