The Democratic Nominations.

| Notwithstanding the spasmodic attempts of
Democratic politicians to manufacture popular en-
thusiam for their new ticket, it is evident that
! they have cause to congratulate themselves on
the success ofther efforts in this behalf The ex-
travagant and boastful prediction of the Washing
/ ton Union, that the nomination of Gen. Pierce
would be hailed with an enthusiastic burst of ap-
plause from the Democracy of every portion of
| the Union, has not been realised.
| The Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury, neutral writer gives the following
description of the state of affairs in the Demo-
cratic ranks, which, coming as it does from an i'm
partial source, presents, doubt, truthful pic
ture:
1t idle disguise the fact that the action of the De-
mocratc Convention has inspired either confidence
enthusiasm Although there is good deal of loud crow
ing the nominations yet there unmisakable
symptoms OF trouble In the camp The two extremes of
the party both dissatisfied and the equally dis
concerted by the slaughter of its leaders, The
Southern Rights had to bolt the Compromise resolu
tion, candidate from New Hampshire, fraternity with
ther home opponents, and Mr.. Calhouns
Mexican war policy and that of his friends They had
also to adopt instead of jeff Davis Col King who boasts
of having been the first politician of that party acqu
esce in the Compromise though believing it unjust
The other extreme is rrtated at the election of Ran
tout. which was manfesty unjust, well the Com
promise resolution and portion Of them already pre-
parng Tor bolt The other portion at the head of which

platform was formally adopted by the Convention all
declares it to be fraud and trick that the resolutions
through and bind nobody and that there
fore they will support the candidates. but repudiate the
principles laid down in that platform That organ goes
further to when tainted by the Tribune that Franklin
Pierce Is not Northern with Southern feelings and
cites his votes In Congress to show that he stood by John
Quincy Adams in voting steadast in favor of the reception
OF Abolition petitions when that made test question
in Congress.
The Central Abolition organ here, has pronounced
phaticay against the Democratic party of its
endorsement OF the Fugitive Slave law and is under
stood to be sustained by the leading Democratic Free
soiers Sumner and Ranou Chase and Doty, and those
who have already comen talk of backing off again. The
centre OF the Party the original Compromise

OF securing restoration; while Young America failing

macontent. Neither Mr.. Pierce Mr. King will

the great whole termed the Democracy and the echoes
are looked Tor with great anxiety. Those which have
come from the strongest organs of the two extremes
coupled with the grim silence of the Southern Press

We also hear the deep mutterings of wrath
and disappointment from the friends of Mr. Buch-

State, on the Democratic omination, aud from

According to these organs, Pennsylvania's favo-

slaughter house
The Lancaster Inteligencer, the home organ of Mr.
Buchanan, comes to us this week with a gloomy and
disappointed countenance; and its columns are iljed
with bitter complaint of those Of its party in this State
