Democratic National Convention.

The signs of the times indicate that the
National Democratic Convention, which is
to meet, at Cincinnati. on the first Monday
in June next. will be any thing but harmo-
nious. Already murmurs Of discomfort are
heard in various quarters in the South. and
We should not be at all surprised if they
ended in open revolt South Carolina has
declined to be represented there, and seye-
raj other States of the South will send dele
gates instructed to withdraw from the Con-
vention. unless stringent resolutions in favor
of Southern rights are adopted in the plat
form. On the other hand. New York will
doubtless send two delegations one of which

while the other will consist of the Dickin-
son Or Hard Democracy In deciding
upon their claims to seats in the Convention,
one or the other is sure to be driven off to
the support of some other party. If the
Softs are admitted, the Hards will coalesce
with the National Americans-if the Hards
WIN the day. the other party will side with
the Black Republicans and Frecsoilers.-
Without Union of these two wings. there
is NO chance for the Democratic party to

that State. there is not much probability of

The task of constructing a platform to
suit the Northern Freesoil Democracy, and
the Southern Rights Democracy will also
be of an extremely difficult character
One or the other will be compelled to yield
their prejudices, or the Convention must
inevitably end in a fatal disunion of the
party. As before stated, many of the dele
