PREsIDESTIAL-1'he Washington CORES.
pendent of the New Orleans Crescent, thus
writes on the Presidential question:
The belief is gaining ground here that Mr.
Buchanan will be choked off by the com.
bned exertions of the other Presidential as
pirants. There has been, of late, n very de.
cided manifestation of hostility to Old Buck
My impression is that what Is left undone
by the politicians here will be finished by
the two thirds rule, and that Mr.. Buchanan
will he again shclved. If so Pennsylvania is
good for Fillmore against any other man BY
thirty thousand majority. The same two.
thirds rule, will probably kill off Pierce,
Douglas, and IIunter-and then the Dcmoc-
racy will have again to fish among the min.
nows for Presidential candidate As Tom
Corwin said, after the nomination of Pierce,
"no man is safe now"
To illustrate the temper of the people in
Virginia with respect to the nomination of
Mr.. Fillmore will give an extract from
private letter from Democrat friend in
Northumberland county, which was received
yesterday. He says:
at the popular demonstrations through.
out the country, or the popular expressions
of the masses amongst whom have ming.
| led since | lett Washington, are reliable
sources of conjccturcs MS to the complexion
of party strength, and furnish any criteria
for nm opinion of the acceptablity of a tick.
ct those made in favor of Fillmore are Ger.
tan!y as flattering MS his most ardent admir-
ers and friends could wish. | have never
seen demonstration so spontaneous, and SO
little tainted with political clap trap. The
people seem less disposed to follow political
leaders than ever before saw them"
learn from other sources, that the SAINT
feeling exists all over the State. Certainly j
ought to exist, and see no reason why an
honest and conscientious Democrat may moi
rally to the support of national states
man like Mr.. Fillmore, rs cordially rs to tn,
nominee of the Cincinnati Convention
Why can we not have more liberulity nnt
less party tyranny in our Presidential cleo
tiOns?

THE BLACK REPUBLICANS.

The New York Herald "dog-types" the
movements, motives, plans and calculations of
the Black Republicans in excellent, IL not
exact style. Among other paragraphs The
following occurs in recent article:
The Seward Alliance, in view of the feud
which has sprung up ut Washington between
the Pierce and Douglas clqucs against the
Buchanan wing of the "ferce democracip,"
md in anticipation of blow.up or another
izzle in consequence, ut the Cincinnati Con-
vention, have recently plucked up courage and
have resolved to go into the fight in earnest.
In fact, from the increasing symptoms Of n
regular row and another collapse upon some
small potato Mt Cincinnati, the Sewarditcs are
beginning seriously to calculate, not only
upon the probabilities of carrying up the
Presidential issue to the House Of Represen.
tatives, but upon the chances of an election
by the people, the next thing to clean sweep
Of the Northern States.
To accomplish this desirable result. we
have reason to believe that the first wish OF
the Seward league, in reference to the demo
cratic party, is the denomination of Genera
Pierce. They have found it matter so easy
throughout the North, during the last two
years, to form the most overwhelming fusion,
against him, that many of the Niger wor
shippers fully believe that with some such
man MS Fremont against Pierce they would
leave the New Hampshire candidate har,
aground in South Carolina.

The DEMOCRATIC CoSvEsTIoS.-The Dem.
ocratic District Convention assembled ut
Cleveland on the 9Th inst, and nominated d.
NJ. Key, Esq, Of Chattanooga, for Elector.-
We learn from persons present that there
was respectable attendance from Bradley
and other counties Of the District, and that
about the usual amount of harmony and
good feeling prevailed. There was also a
little of what party editors call enthusiasm"
a series of resolutions were adopted. Among
them was one embodying the proposition shat
all men have natural and indcfrasible right
to worship God Almighty"-a right which we
regret to say great many people don't seem
disposed to exercise. With this exception
We don't notice any thing in the resolutions
peculiar or out of the line of Democratic
prscedents on such occasions.
The following appears among the proceed
ings rs published in the Chattanooga paper
Resolred, That the Democracy of the Sd
Congressional District have the most entire
confidence in tho ability and patriotism of
the Hon. George w. Rowles, and, although
he declines Il position on the electoral ticket
yet we request that his servces--always eff.
ficient-bc not withheld in the approaching
contest.
Judge Rowles, who was Chairman of the
meeting, is said to have handsomely respond
ed to the above. After which the following
letter "from our able aud distinguished repre-
sentative in Congress was read, ms the Ad
