The New York Hard. and SON..

proaches it becomes subject Of vast interest to
know what that convention intends doing in the case
of the New York Ilar,ls and Sots Both of these
factions have appointed delegates, and both claim TO
be the simon-purc Democracy. 1t will devolve up
ON the Cincinnati Convention TO decide between
them-to say which wing constitutes the true De-
mocratic party in New York. and which is spurious
| The question has to be met and disposed of The
alternative OF admitting both sets OF delegates will
prove failure. The lizards bent upon being
cognizcd and admitted to seats in the Convention or
else they threaten to return home, and instead Of
supporting the Cincinnati nominee, they propose 10
themselves to take "a Ittie repo>e" In other words
they will rest their oars AMI take part the
Presidential contest.
II becomes interesting to inquire just here what
course the Virginia delegation will pursue in refer
cnce to the admission of the New York delegates
Will they for the admission of the EardS or the
Softs. Or will they vote To admit bothy The En-
gtirer. We know is rather in favor of admitting the
Van Buren, Softs. At any rate, it declared long
ago that the Softs had been ''sinncd against
than SHINING" OF course, its sympathicS-if that
DC so-are all with the SOftS And, Of course, it
would have the Virginia delegation vote to admit the
Softs and to reject the HardS. But we shall see
what we shall see in three four weeks. We shall
see whether the Virginia Democracy prefer the
citation of Van Buren, FreesoierS, or the association
OF national Dickinson DemocratS-men who have
been outraged and prosecuted by the Pierce admin
stratiOn because they would have utilization with
the Van BureniteS. We confess that we have our
fears on this subject We believe the Virginia dele
CATION will decide the question between the HardS
and Soits, not principle or from regard to the
rights of the South, but from views Of expectancy
entirely IF it turns that the Harris may be re-
iected with less danger to the success OF the party
than the SoftS why the SotS will be voted into the
Convention in double quick time, and honored and
caresSed the very salt Of the party.
The Hard Shell organ in the city of New York. in
its Wednesdays issue, addresses zone more word to
the South, and forth the feelings and purposes
of its party in the of rejection Cincinnati
in distinct and emphatic terms 1t will be seen, too,
that it stouty insists upon the Convention deciding
the question, once for all, between the IIards and
the Softs-that it cannot be evadcd or postponed.

extract from its article in order to illustrate the tenn
