The CINCINNATI CoNvENTIoN.-W Washing
ton, April lot is as plain as q pike-staf
here that there is to be Jolly row at the Gin
cinnati Convention. The Northern patriots
who championed that benehcent measure
called the Nebraska bill, and by it quieted so
signally all agitation on the slavery question,
are all in for the nomination. Neither Doug
las nor Pierce, nor any other prominent mem
Der of the firm, intend to give way foot for
Buchanan. They sold out the North for
consideration, and now they want their pay.
They scout the idea of standing inglorionsly
aside for a man who did not help to engineer
the great surrender The consequences is like
ly to be, therefore, that the scenes of 1852 are
to be played over again, and some other in
significant person is to be the nominee of that
Convention. From present appearances,
none of the old stagers stand any better
chance now than they did in April, 1852.
The handful of highly respectable North
ern Wing hunkers who so longingly desire
to rush to their old enemies under the wing
of some such specimen of ancient federalism
as Mr.. Buchanan, may as well put on their
hats and start, without waiting for such re-
spectacle company. They cannot be accom-
modated, but must take their leader from
among crowd they have long affected to de-
spise. Let them not, however, feel unhappy
at going under any leader The old Demo-
cratic party has met with change such as is
hardly to be found within the mutations Of
parties. 1t has become tie conservative party
Of the country. 1t has taken up the position
of ultra federalism. 1t has turned its back
upon and stoutly resists every liberal idea
1t denies the rights of man ; it calls the De-
claration of Independence m-foolery it
refuses to recognize State rights; it is all
ready with its sedition laws; it utters mes
sages and proelamations against the peaeabfe
proceedings of the people; it threatens to
''sutdpe" the Free States for resisting the
extension of slavery. In word, its leaders
now in power aim at the Capitalization of all
the authority in the federal arm, and the en-
tire subjugation of every democratic idea.
The doctrines Of the Democratic organization
to-day, the doctrines of ultra federal
ism.
The combination, too, of the two great
srbitrary forces of the countrv-the money
power Of the North and the slave power of
the South-so long kept asunder by anoma-
lous causes, is now i'll this change rapidly
approaching. Doctrines of political economy,
now latent, have prevented an earlier fusion.
But this fusion has long been seen to be inev-
table by all sagacous observers. The moment
the repellant power has subsidized, the two
| forces come together by the laws of natural
attrhctlOn. anu now we nave got the great
trading and money interest of the North, the
ancient enemy of the Democracy, joining
| hand in hand with the slave power to sup
| press that Democracy, and doing it, too, I'M
der the organization of the Democratic PARTY
| itself!
The more arrogant the rule of these two
| Anti Republican forces, the sooner will the
| Democratic masses arise and crush their
| power. The consummation is sure to come,
Let tie small leaders of the hour continue
their processes of hopping the boiler, stopping
every vent and valve in the great machine
| they WELD; they will all go together into the
sky when the inevitable explosion comes =
True Democracy will vindjcateits intelligence
al no remote day in way that will astonish
the traitors to Freedom who now engineer the
re-actionary movement in this country
There is power which shall overthrow all
thrones and all despotisms, whether they be
| of Kings or Of Ohgarchies, whether on the old
Continent or the new, and that power is the
Radical Democracy. Its organization should
begin with the present.-Cor. N Y. Tribune.
