Douglas and the Presidency.

Since the late elections at the North, re.
sulting 80 disastrously to the interests Of
the Democratic party, we have seen any
number OF predictions from newspaper
correspondents that, s. A. Douglas of ILL
nOis i'll be the nominee Of the Charleston
Convention. Douglas has been elected
United States Senator from Illinois over n
Republican candidate after n hard fought
contest; but it is conceded everywhere
that he received a large number Of R-pub.
ican and American votes, aud he is openly,
and We expect justly, accused OF having
made secret coalition with Seward and
some others Of the Republican leaders. the
purpose of which, was of course anything
else than to benefit the South.
And this is the man proposed for the
Southern and Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. 1t is sad that the South
must accept him as n compromise, or else
the Democratic party is henceforth rent in
twain and hopelessly ruined. OF the two
alternatives, the latter is in our opinion de
cidedly the best-the preferable choice nf
two evils, and we would say by oil means
let the party go. Douglas cannot be nc
ccptable 10 the South, and we cannot bring
ourself to believe that his nomination will
be urged by any considerable number of
the Democratic party. His nomination and
subsequent election to The Presidency would
be the severcst blow to Southern rights,
honor and interests that has yet been
struck. It's first and important consequence
would he TO divide the South "a minority
perhaps would acquiesce, deluded into the
hope that he would administer the govern.
ment upon constitutional principles, very
ut condition TO be plnndcred and sold by
hun. The prospect of the election Of an
out rnd out Black Republican to the Presi.
dercy has nothing in it so omihous of evil
10 the South as that OF the election Of
Douglas. In the event of the election of
n Black Republican,, the South would be
guarded against the consequences. and
