it, previous decisions, aud has decided that the
persons nre still slaves. e., the law of "A slave

Core Apondenco II y. Y Commercial
WAsuINGToN, April GA number of mem
bers of Congress have latcly held consultations
Mt the private lodgings of Southern member
on the subject of the nomination Of nv. Pierce
at Cincinnati hey not only agreed. it is said,
ihat Mr. Pierce is the most suitable candidate for
the Southern Democracy. but also took meas
ures to use influence in the South To promote his
nomination.
Nearly all the Southern nsprants for the
Pre- sidency desire Mr.. Pirrce's nomination. 49,
Mr. Hunter Mr. Cobb Of Ga. Mr.. Rusk, and
Col. Orr, each have some chance of succeeding
Mr. Pierce, ms the choice of the Democracy for
the term commencing ia lSGl. They ARE all
young enough To wait.
Mr.. Douglas, on the other hand. would prefer
tho nomination Of MIR. Ilunt,r or any Southern
man, hoping to succeed him. 1t is understood
ia the Democratic party that hereafter the North
Is To hnve the Presidency alternately with the
South This is great concrsson certainly, on
the part of the South, which will contribute mos
of the electoral votes Ia the election of Demo
crnt ut the coming election, and probably in fu
tur" elections.
As matters stand, Mr.. Pierce's chance for the
nomination is, | think. better than that of any
other Democrat Northern or southern. There
j. but one difficulty about it, and that is the up
prchension that, it nominated, he will not he
