Cass has spoken OF the aemocruuc triumph Do
matter of ascertained certainty. We
are well persuaded that the result of the next
| Presidential election will depend on the nomina-
t;ops made by the two parties. The Democrats
have fixed the time for holding their National
Convention The Wings, we presume will select
a later day, and govern themselves in measure
by the action of the Opposition 1t seems to us
that the Democrats win find difficulty in select
ing candidate whom the Wings will find great
difficulty in defeating,
"They suppose that the masses will sympathize
in their shameless combinations, and aid in the
restoration Of the Van Burens and Bentons IN the
person of Gen. Butler. This scheme failing and
| the ground of their hope and confidence crumbles
beneath them. Dyest the party of the support
of Sumner, Giddings, Hale, and the Van Burens,
and their confidence has nothing to repose upon
Gen Butler out of the question, the coalition
breaking down, and what's left Gen Cass and
Mr.. Buchanan, Judge Douglas and Gen. Wool,
Com. Stockton and the two Walkers--run through
the whole list, and where will you find a man
who can stand against the united and harmonious
movement of the Wing party?
q The policy of the friends Of the administra-
ton is obvious. Stand frm-co-operate-ar
| range differences--harmonize conflicting senti-
ments-or ganize--understand each other-sacrl-
| fee personal interests and animosities to the
cause-and unite on the Wing candidate most
acceptable to the people. If the administration
| party will act together in this spirit the oppo
stion will discover that the people are well con-
tent with peace, good neighborhood, observance
of our own laws, and non-interference with the
affairs of other nations"
CoMMENT.-We quote these remarks from the
"Republic" because they show that the Wings
are resolved not to surrender the government
without struggle, and that the State Rights
party of the South may see that if they are firm,
both parties will do homage to their principles;
for it is true that the result of the Presidential
election viii depend on the candidates put in
nomination.
Such being the fact, what is proper for the
State Rights party to do2 We find our views
forcibly expressed by the Richmond (Va.) Exam
iner," as given below:
SIN the approaching Presidential campaign,
the Democratic party will inevitably be defeated,
if there be not entire harmony and active co-ope-
ration between its Northern and Southern divis-
ions. The result of the contest in '48 furnishes
melancholy confirmation of the truth of this asser-
ton. But for the detection of the Buffalo Barn
burners, even the military renown Of Taylor could
not have prevented the election of Cass. Looking
back upon the campaign of '48, is there a Demo-
crat in Virginia that would have consented, even
for the sake of success, to proptiate the prejudi
of the Freesoilers, by the sacrifice Of even the
most unimportant of the principles upon which
the welfare of the South depends? 1t is crafty
ing to the ambition of man to triumph the pos
session of power is agreeable; but the dauntless
adhesion to principle in the face of defeat reflects
more honor upon human nature than the gilded
trappings of the highest office in the universe.

election of men hostile to Southern interests; but
the Democrats of Virginia viii rather suffer in |
'52 the disasters Of '4s than aid in elevating to
the Presidency man whose loyalty to the con-
stution and the interests of the whole country is
mot abundantly warranted by his past history.
The Abolitonists consented to defeat and disgrace
for the sake.of their cause, and shall we manifest
less principle than they
| We speak the resolves of the Democracy of
Virginia and the whole South, when VIC declare
our determination TO repd Nth scorn the candidate

confidence and support Of the truest friends Of South

the North, By conSenting TO keep silence upon
the questions IN controversy 6etueen the 4boit0Rtsts
and tie South. These are the stern resolves of
! the Democratic party of Virginia at least and it
| is better to proclaim them now, that they may
control the calculations Of the chiefs of the
party.
Prevalent throughout the North as is the fa-
naticism of Abolition, we still confde in the JUS
| tice and patriotism of the great mass of the
Northern Democracy. We doubt not they will
consent as heretofore, to specific recognition, IN
the Baltimore platform, Of the immunity Of The ipSti
tutions of the South from federal dggressions. We
doubt not they VU cheerfuly dcquiesce, ifnot aid IN
| the nomination Of a candidate IN achom the South
may trust But, if we should be disappointed in
these expectations and the Northern division of
the Democratic party should force upon the con-
vention man upon phom the South may not rely
for the protection Of its rights the Baltimore ConUel-
ton may be assured that the Democratic party Of
| The South aciU pay no regard 10 its nomination
than to the nomination of The Buffalo BdynbarnerS
| s'The Southern Democracy are not altogether
powerless. Their will is to determine the result
of the campaign of 1852 And if their support
is desired, respect must be paid to their feelings
and their principles. They do not claim the
nomination for one of themselves They will
concede the nomination to q Northern man, but
they make it a condition indispensable to their
support that he be true to the constitution and
just to the South. Men of this stamp abound
among the Democracy of the North. Such arc
Douglas, Buchanan, and Stockton---either of
whom can secure the jealous and undivided sup
port Of the Democratic party of the South.
sin conclusion, let the truth be spoken, that
| the nomination of the Baltimore Convention will
give to no man an absolute and indisputable claim
to the support of the South. The South will not
elevate to the Presidency foe to its rights and
institutions"
