This, in brief is the outline programme Of v,
Loco-Foco Convention, to be held at Baltimore a,

that great results may hang upon the action Of the
vention. They are the stone which the builders
of the party platform are to reject. They have
the power to become the head of the corner. Sc
far as events are now Swallowed forth, il appears
that they may hold the election of President il
their own hands, if they have the spirit to exert
their power.
Things are, we lament TO say tending strongly
toward sectional issue in the Presidential cant
paign The Loco-Foco Candidates for the Presi-
dency acting as to encourage the south in
this suicidal policy. The Northern Wings and the
great body of the Southern Whss are periodically
stirring to avert it, but they may not succeed The
sectional issue may be forced upon In this great
event, the power of the Northern " Free Demsc-
racy," as they love to style themselves will be con-
trolling. They can defeat any Loco-Foco candidate
they choose. Mr.. CARTIER, of Ohio, uttered soma
vital truths Yesterday in the House, which told
powerfully upon this view of the subject. lie
warned his Democratic associates, Of the ease with
which they could lose Pennsylvania, Ohio aud

manner in which this announcement was received
BY the men who propose TO control the Baltimore
Convention, was indicated by the interpolated de-
risye remark of Mr.. Polk, Of Tennessee" Let
them 90, we do not want them" Whether the
Loco Foco candidate wants them or not, he is not
likely to get them. Their electoral vote is be-
spoken for Gen. ScorT. We do not need any aid
from the Free Democracy" to secure these
States. But il the sectional issue is coming those
gentlemen know how some embellishments may be
kicked away in few questionable States that
will turn the entire vote Of the North in one dIrec-
ton. Herein is their power. We shall SEQ
whether they have pluck enough at Baltimore to
declare their determination to WELD it. The ns-
ture ofthings, as well as the posture of affairs,
makes it impossible that the Wing Convention can
ape the political genuhexons Of which the Loco
Foco Convention is capable. And il that body
should undertake to see to how low a point OF
abasemsnt it can descend, we believe it will, It
should at least have the fatal consequences OF It's
humiliation pointed out in advance.
The Wing Convention we have no doubt will be
national in its action, and will repudiate Sec
tionasm on the one hand and on the ether. lift
is to suffer for this at the South it ought to find
it's compensations in the North. Ii must do this
or fail in its aims to be just to both North and
South. ,. s.P.
