Will the SOfts be Admitted.

The question, whether the Softs or Freesoil del
egates from New York, will be admitted into the
Cincinnati Democratic Convention, is becoming
daily of more absorbing interest," and the public
mind is quite anxious to have it properly answered.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, who is usually very well posted as to the
progress of events in political circles at the Capitol,
aware of the public anxiety, thus responds to the
inquiry through that journal; .,y
"Southern Delegates, except few from Vir-
ginia, have already decided to give the VAN buren,
Softs of New York, their seats in the convention,
to the exclusion of the Hards. .,Ass
The Southern delegates have decided, have they,
to fellowship and affiliate with the Free-solers p
Nor is this all, they have decided to repudiate the
Hards2 This excites with us no surprise--it is in
perfect character with the leaders Of the party. IL
their past history affords any data upon which to
predicate a conjecture as to their future course,
they will affiliate with the Buffalo platform men Of
New York, as soon the Southern Americans, If
in their opinion such an alliance be necessary to
secure the spoils, which are the only common bond
Of union. And they would do more, they would
have the cool effrontery to 60 before the Southern
people, and ASSURE them that the Buffalo platform
men were s0under upon the slavery question than
their Southern opponents The case OF the Hon.
A. II. Stephens affords an apt illustration. The
very men with whom he is now in full fellowship,
two years ago denounced him before the people of
less ,lable on the slavery question than John A.
Dix, of New York one of tho most prominent
OF the Buffalo platform men; and thus affecting
TO believe, they vindicated Dix sound on the sa-
very question, and denounced A. H. Stephens as a
Free-soilerl What act of such party, unless it
savored of disinterested patriotic devotion to the
country, could excite any surprise in any intelll-
gent mind? Can any one, in the face OF such factsy
doubt for moment that they will take the New
York Free-soilers TO their embrace--or that they
will as readily repudiate the Hards, If they deem
such a course necessary to their success a4
Prince Oscar, of Sweden, is expected immedi-
atey in England, on Irritation trip, TO WOO the
hand Of Princess Mary of Cambridge, sister Of the
present Duke of Cambridge, and first cousin of
Enpland's Queen. The. Princess Mary is young,
and the fairest of all the females Of the English
Guelpbs. She is tall and Of fine figure, like her
mother with profhson Of brown hair, and very
ioyous INGENIOUS expression. With this Inst
match all the Cambridges will be welded but the
Duke who lives after the fashion Of his uncle, VIII
liam the Fourth, with beautiful actress, Miss Fair
breAhof. by whom he has fve children, and for
whom no chershes an unwaveripg love. The for
tune Of the Princess Mary is somewhere about that
OF fashionable Fifth-avenue BELLE three thousand
pounds year.
