Number One vs.. Number Two Democracy.
These are the titles fAcetiously bestowed upon
the two wings OF the Democracy IN Mobile by the
editor Of the ddUertser. Number One Democracy
Is in favor Of a reorganization oil the party upon
the old platform, which was known to be rotten
many years ago, and was supposed to have entirely
disappeared, leaving ''not a wreck behind" Mum
Der Oae will support Cass, who "prayed for the
abolition Of slavery everywhere" not many years
since, or any other leading Democrat of the same
stripe; and accordingly twenty five delegates have
been sent TO the State Convention, which meets in
Montgomery next Monday, to represent the true
Democracy of Mobile in that body.
Number Two repudiates all this, and the ire OF
the ''chvalry, the e-eaters, secessiOnists and
disunonists, waxed hot and furious. meeting
was at once called, aud resolutions denouncing the
Compromise as f" illibera, unfair, and unjust" to
the South, and declaring that the members Of the
meeting would vote for no man who sustained
those measures. either for the Presidency or Vice
Presidency, were passed with great unanimity
Fifteen delegates were ale chosen to represent the
meeting in the Montgomery State Convention.
Now here are two sets OF delegates. which VIII

q matter Of much doubt and the question will as
suredy cause much discussion and excitement in
that body. The Mobile Register, the ancient
gan of the Democratic party OF Alabama, expresses
It's indignation of the presumptuous conduct Of the
fire. eaters in the following terms:
"The action OF this meeting must speak its char
acter to the State. As far it was intended to
counteract the proceedings of the regular Demo
cratic meeting on the 81 instant, IL will have no
effect. The delegates from that meeting have been
appointed, and will go TO Montgomery. No doubt
can exst as to their right to seats in the conven
ton. Whether the delegates from the Demo-
cratic Southern Rights" party will have admit
lance, is for the convention TO determine. We
apprehend that that body will be unwilling to
affiliate with segment who would only carry dis
cord into the party ranks, and entail defeat upon
it, by the revival Of doctrines and measures which
SO large majority of the people have already re-
pudiated and put to rest"
The quarrel between the two sections is very
entertaining to the Wings, as it stands. We
feel the most complete indifference as 10 which side
triumphs. But if we were compelled to express an
opinion. our preferences would be found on the
side Of the REGULARS" for the very good reason
that they are opposed by the "fre CATERS As il
