Cincinnati Convention Sag Nicht Har-

m0ny. ~,
The NewberTy Mirror (South Carolina) is
olt against South Carolina going into the Gin
cinnati Convention. The South Carolina dis
unionists are SO devoutly attached to President
Pierce, that they are unwilling to leopard his
nomination before the Cincinnati Convention.
They have SO little confidence in the profes-
sions Of the Northern Sag NIGHTS, that they
far even the spoiIs and public plumber has not
sadearod them sufficiently to Pierce to insure
him their support
The Mirror says:
The idea Of nominating General Pierce is al
together too uncertain, rather hopeless, to base
any argument upon. These conventions consider
aoaiiabiify the first of all qualifications General
Pierce is available for the South, but not for the
North" tR 88 s .s{-.,. -
The Mirror seems very willing that South
ern availability should constitute qualifica-
ton, and at the same time manifests its fears
that Northern availability will predominate at
Cincinnati. So it will; but that will not dam
age Pierce's prospects any, for while these
South Carolina fire-eaters are advocating his
Gains with such ferocity, Cochrane, Rynders,
Slckles, and others of the Black Republican
school of politics, (nearly all Of the Soft dele
gates from New York to Cincinnati are Barn
burners of 4S,) are equally as strenuous in
urging Mr.. Pierces Northern availability So
that Pierces peculiar merit seems to consist
in the fact that upon him the disunionists Of
the South and Northern Free-soil spoil plum
derers canunte
But the Mirror has as little confidence in
the Southern delegates to Cincinnati as in the
Northern. 1t says:
" The Southern politicians Of that Convention
viii not object, for their object is also availability !;
they are after the loaves and fishes OF this
enough evidence has already transpired. In Geor-
gia, Pierce has been given the 90 by !: and its
delegates have been appointed with the erpress
understanding that they are not committed to
Pierce. Straws show which way the wind blows
Pierce is hated by portion Of the Georgia De-
mocracy, headed by Cobb. who has not forgot the
wound still ranking in him, caused by the nomi-
nation of Pierce over his favorite, General Cass,
at the last Baltimore Convention"
Cobb, then, is not Pierceite. In this lies
the secret of the famous Clancy Jones Sag.
NIGHTS caucus resolution, which killed off both
Richardson and Orr. Cobb concocted the
scheme to effect that result, and also to iniure
Pierce's prospects, and he played his cards
very adroitly but Cobb, with little manage
ment, can be won over to this South Carolina
abstraction just agree to put him on the
ticket, and we venture the assertion that he
will turn Pierceite, for he has strong personal
attachments, but for one man-himself.
The Mirrors objections do not only arise
from want of confidence in the MANY aspi-
rants for the Cincinnati nomination, but from
the principles likely to be ennnciated by that
convention. 1t thinks glI n
Platforms are pieces of paper, and no sensible
man reles upon them as binding party. There
are two ways of treating the subject Of Southern
Rights, remarked Mr. Calhoun caustically. one
by talk, the other by acts Platforms are talk.
There are men at the North who talk, but their
acts are seen in such measures a. the admission of
California as State - s.tt4
What unity Of sentiment exists among these
Southern Sag-Nichtsl Alabama and Georgia
have laid down their platforms and instructed
their delegates to the convention to withdraw
unless their respective platforms are adopted
before any nomination is made; but the South
Carolina Pierce abstractionists 90 for Pierce
and against platforms. Sensible men Pierce
Is the very man to unite the Northern and
Southern disunionists, disunion being the only
point of agreement between these two sects of
traitors besides, the Mirror knows that if
Pierce is put upon platform he will violate
every word of it, as he has heretofore.
Beware (says the Mirror) Of the cry that we
should go into the convention with the other South
ern States. There will be no States there In per-
son or by proxy; any more than the Lord was
present IN that Parliament which Cromwell drove
out by force, at time when 1t professed to Crom
well that il was seeking the Lord The conyen-
ton will be a collection of demagogues and Office
seekers, seeking neither the Lord, nor the good of
the country, but the loaves and fishes Of Office
The convention will be a collection of dem
agogues and ofiice-seekers." We cannot, then,
appreciate the objections Of the Mirror to South
Carolina going into the convention. Dema-
gogues and office-seekers are also Pierce men.
and the Pierce men are all demagogues, office
seekers, or office-holders. Pierce's nomination.
then, is beyond doubt Besides, the material
OF the convention Is commodity with which
the political market is oveNstocked; and if
South Carolina, which is just now seeking a
considerable investment in Piercism, would
condescend to send ON few bidders to this
great auction of ofice-seekers, holders, and
demagogues, she could buy herself rich with
small capital. Cochrane and Rynders will be
there, authorized by Pierce to invest literally;
but the trouble with them is, they are them
selves inferior specimens of office-holders and
demagogues, and may be bought cheap, and
Mr. Pierce's custom-house funds thrown in the
bargain. South Carolina had better send Mr..
