Just as we Predicted.

Our readers will rccollect that some weeks
since in specializing upon the humbuggery
Of the Union party, and the certainty of its
speedy dissolution, we adverted to tire posi-
ton of Cobb Of Georgia as an inscperable
obstacle to its policy of EARNED neutrality"
since he was not only chief director of the
Union party, but was also too largely inter
ested in the national democracy to give it
up. As we all along supposed, if Cobb
could not use the Union party to subserve
his interests as a national democrat, why
then he would have no farther use for it,
1t was certainly very successful enginery
when it came to the manufacture of Gov.
ernor, but when the Vice Presidency wa.
concerned, other balances were to be found
Events have however precipitatcd earlier
than we expected the Union abortion. The
proposition of the Union caucus Of Georgi;
to send delegates to Baltimore having me
with considerable opposition, and being prob
ably doomed to defeat, the Union democrac,
with Governor Cobb at their head are sound
ing the signal for another onslaught OIL
whiggery--not disunionism, while Toomb
and Stephens are no doubt pregnant with
question which perplexcd Webster himself, :
"where am to go?" While Cobb is prot
ably in a direct line to the Vice Presidency
and we may thus have occasion soon
quote the very many handsome compliment
recently paid him by his wing allies, tn
latter, to borrow scriptural expression, al
strangers to the covenants of promise, an
aliens to the commonwealth" Of Cnionisn
Cobbs' good fortune and skillful tactics h;
helped to kill whiggcry. The Union pres
and politicians have given him an infucnc
which will tell on the whig masses of b
State, while against the Union party itsel
his decree has gone forth, the Baltimol
Il Convention--or death.

The Governors Attempt to revive Agitation
Rebuked.

1t will Jerecollccted that in our last weekly
edition, we deprecated the introduction of the
compromise issue into the Legislature by
Gov Eoote, in an extraordinary message,
which he communicated to that body. We
stated, that to securehis object, a select COM
mittee in the house reported a series of reso-
lutions touching the compromise and recon-
mending the printing Of five thousand copies
Of the message. The resolutions did not
fully meet the approval of the minority, on
whose behalf Mr. Barry, the eloquent and
talented member from Oltibbcha, proposed,
90. d. IS, ,e second resolution Of the
I,o>eiuI.r convention which was elected by
the people for the sole purpose Of recording
their views and intentions on this subject
This gave rise to very animated debate, in
which tie asporticS that marked the late
canvass were revived, and topics entirely
foreign totbe subject matter under consider
alton, introduced. No definite action was
taken in the session set apart for its eonsid-
Grafton and it was never again called up by
those to whose special charge it had been
cNRwittod. So the Legislature adjourned

the Governor. lie had urged that rcsolu-
tons should be.adoptcd in relation to the
compromise, in the most earnest terms.

lengthy and carefully prepared message, de-

Presiasntial Controversy il tie House.
rnE YOUNG DEMocRAcY.

The House has been entertained within the
last few days on this subject By the speeches
Of two new members, who are also young
men. And we have seldom seen that body
listen with greater attention or pleasure
Mr.. Breckenridge is an elegant, courteous,
fluent and logical man. Gen. Butler, and all
tbe others, who felt aggrieged, were exceed
ingly happy in having such an advocate
And such is the power of eloqoeneo that if
the controversy had ended with the speech
of MIR. Breckenridge, the sentiment Of the
House and the party would have settled heay-
ily against the ReoieD and against the sort Of
progress of which Judge Douglas is claimed
as a representative. But the thing did not
stop there On Thursday last Mr. Marshall,
of California, made speech. 1t was not so
elegant in style, nor so consecutive in argu-
ment, nor so web regulated in temper as Mr..
breckenridge, but it was nevertheless one
of the most powerful, skilful, witty, intrepid
and captivating discourses we have had the
good fortune TO hear. 1t took possession of
the House. Its illustrations of the doctrines
of progress were so happily made that tho
most inyeterate conservatism began to feel
uneasy, and the progressives actually began
to suspect themselves of too much m0dera-
ton, and to doubt whether Judge Douglas
was a man young enough to be President
One Of the most striking circumstances of
theaffair was, that Mr. Breckenridge himself
appeared to enjoy the hits Of his opponent,
quite as much as any of the young progress
sives-his sympathies as man Of genius O.
yercoming his feelings as an Antagonist
Both gentlemen have taken high rank as de-
baters, and may always expect in future,
what is very rare, the fixed attention Of the
House. They afford, however, in themselves
some curious and paradoxical illustrations OF
progress and conservatism. Both are Dem
ocrats. But Mr.. Marshall, the progressive,
lis of the third generation, in descent, from
the brother of the Chief Justice, said to
have been equal, if not superior in natural
geniusto the Chief Justice himself, and of
the same federal politics. And Mr.. Brock
enridge, the conservative, isof the third gen
Grafton, directly descended from the Brecken-
ridge who introduced the Resolutions of '9S
into the legislature of Kentucky. Both of
the present members were born not far from
Lexington, Kentucky-a region as remarka-
Bile for its fertility of talent as of soil--as
celebrated for its hospitality as for its agri-
cultural wealth and beauty-and among all
its people no two families have been more
distinguished for talent, than the Marshalls
and breckenridge. s. Southern Press.

Res0lved, That We present james Buch :

with the full confidence that the democracy
of our sister States VIII coneede 70 the Key
stone State the honor to which she has 20

Jeffersonian doctrine Of State rights foe
to the unconstitutional doctrine OF eentFaiiza-

adviser Of the immortal Jackson--the lead
ing and successful opponent of dangerous
national mencyed m6nopolies-the supporter
Of the economical administration of govern
ment--the friend and promoter of agrlcul-
ture and commerce, Of domestic manufac-
tures and mechanics. The services of Mr..
Buchanan in the cause of the party aud Of
the country are recorded in the hearts Of the

tive branch Of the government in bis hands,
equal Justice would be awarded to all the
great interests Of the country, and our be-
loved Union be safe against the inroads Of
foreign aggression and the dangers of intes-
tine eommotion.
Resolred, That the delegates elected by
this convention be, and they are hereby, in-
structed to vote for him from first to last,
and to use all fair and honorable means to
secure his nomination.
Resotyed, That We congratulate our fell
low citizens upon the successful termination
of the late gubernatorial contest The cleo
ton of his excellency, William Bigler, as
the chief magistrate of the Commonwealth,
has secured to the people an able, enlighten-
ed, honest, and economical administration of
the government, and redeems our glorious
old Commonwealth from the disgrace which
has been brought upon her by the late reck-
/ less and cxtravagant administration that for

bic and critical for the country, and which
condueed to the glorious result, the democra-
cy of Pennsylvania and of the United States
! owe him debt of gratitude equally difficult
to be estimated or discharged.
Reso1pe7, That all vacancies that may cx-
list in the delegation at Baltimore now Sc.
lected shall be filed by majority of the
whole number there present, and that the
said delegation shall have full power and au-
thority among themselves to regulate by
whom and how their votes shall be given in
the convention.
Resolcea, That the president and two first
vice presidents do nominate and appoint a
State Central Committee, consisting Of thir
teen, and that they may announce the ap
pointments before or after the adjournment
of the convention.

The South.

We have more than once urged the fol
lowing views:
" A few years ago, says the Albany (Ga.)
Patriot, there were no important differences
Of opinion among Southern men concerning
our National policy or sectional rights. We
were Republicans-in other words Democrats
holding and practising the Republican
creed-reeognising the States as sovereigu;
binding the government to a strict construe-
ton of the Constitution and requiring that
all its acts should find their authority in that
instrument; equal rights and privileges to
all classes of citizens; economy in the public
expenditures, and honesty and efficiency in
public Office.
Since 1910 circumstances and the artful
selfshness of few political leaders, have d.
vided the great Southern Republican Party,
and have carried part of them into the sup
port of men whose acts have been in conflict
with our principles and our rights. The last
two years experience, has convinced most
Southern men-indeed we might say all, eX-
cept those who are locking forward to fedora
honors or emoIuments-tha it is our duty to
re-unite and battle together for our Old prln-
lciples. As evidence of this It IS only ne
cessary to refer to the almost unanimous re.
nunciation in Georgia, and other States, OF
any utilization or association with the wing
party North; the death and burial OF the
/ wing party South, " common consent; the
acknowledged necessity for national party
Isorganization upon correct principles; and the
acknowledged fact that such an organization
can only be had in the National Democratic
! Convention.
The recent association Of Wings and Dem
ocrats in new, though temporary, organiza-
tons, upon simple question of policy which
has been determined and acquiesced in by all,
has tended to soften political asperities, and
prepare the way for return to our ancient
brotherhood in feeling and in action The
Eonly obstacle to the cordial union of all the
old States Rights Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, whether they have been wings or deln-
ocrats, in national Democratic convention,
/ is mere pride of opinion or desire to APP
1 pear consistent, which is kept aliyeif not en-
gendered, BY few political deinagogues who
would sink the South and her interests il
they could but rise upon its ruins. Men are
imperfect at best, and he is most consistent
who always follows what he believes to be
j Truth, and always does what he believes t
Il be Duty The trath is, the great body O
the South are State Rights men and Demo
Gratis at heart; our duty Is, to unite as Dem
ocrats upon the old Republican and Stat,
:. Rights principles.
