On the o'her hand, the Chicago Democrat says
that there is az inteLt;on On the part of Doug
las 10 throw himself into the arms Of the ex-
treme Southern democracy at fitting time,
ard that there is nothing in his position which
would prevent him from being the candidate Of
the Southern extremists. We fear that since
the Little Giant" has been 90 indscreet as TO
give offence in ell quarters, he will have
mighty slim show at the Charleston Convention,
even if Lincoln does not succeed in shelving
him long before.
Governor Wise, "a we have said, occupies q
position in many respects analogous to that Of
his friend and rival, Douglas. Like the latter,
be has lost the confidence of his own section,
has never had the confidence of the North, and
is az much entitled to the epithet applied BY the
Charleston Mercury, Of san unrepentant and
self-seeking renegade" as Douglas himself can
be supposed to be. The same fate evidently
awaits them both-that Of being shelved to-
gether. Requiesoa tn pace.
So much for the two democratic aspirants whom
We have selected as types of class rather than
ss having any very brilliant prospects for the
succession. On the opposition side ofthe camp
We have selected as similar types Senator Crit
tenden, Of Kentucky, and VIM. H. Seward, Of
this State. The former has deeply offended his
own section by his course on the Lecompton
measure, and could lever hope for any large
support in the North, on account of his pro.
slavery sentiments and his repulsive Know
Nothing connection. He may be, therefore,
considered as altogether out Of the question. As
TO Wm FL. Seward, his charcesa are equally frail.
His abolitionism, Of itself, is altogether of too
offensive stamp to admit of his being nomi-
dated. Besides, in bis own State, where he is
best Known, he is least trusted. Ii the country
should ever have the misfortune of seeing him
in the Presidential chair, it would be sure, at
the same time, to see his administration CON-
posed Of or controlled by the chiefs of
the lobby interest, with such a man as
son as prime vizier. No, no: that is altogether
oui Of the question. Seward could hardly get
the support of a majority of delegates in his own
State; and there will be enough Of interests
represented in the Republican Convention to
cut him out there. Ohio will be watchful and
ready to coalesce with the opponents of Seward
In favor of Judge M'Lean or Stanton; Illinois
will take advantage of the same state of feeling,
and be ready to coalesce In favor Of Bissell;
PeDnsy lvana will be no less on the alert in the
interest Of Cameron; nor will Massachusetts be
behind in ousting him for the sake of Banks.
We think, therefore that without pretending
to any ability to indicate who will be the no.
mineeE Of the respective parties 1t may be fair.
ly assumed that the choice of the democracy
win not fall on either Douglas or Wise, and
Mat the choice of the republicans will not fall
on either Crittenden or Seward. Whatever
chance the Kentucky Senator may have,
owing to the supposed expediency or fair
pess Of giving the nomination to the
South, We think the New York Senator
has none whatever. These four knights
may, therefore, have their names stricken of
the lists even thus early. Between this time
and The meeting Of the conventions two years
hence public opinion will have indicated
through its noutbpiece, the press, who the
most worthy contestants for the prize may be-
One Of the latest suggestions has been John B.
Breckenridge for President, and Ex-Governor
Seymour Of New York, for Vice President, This
and all the rest must 20 through the crucible Of
public opinion, for the development and enun-
citation Of which there is yet plenty Of time.
No hurry, gen.lemen-room enough for all.
AFFAIRS IN UTAH.-We publish this morning
a series Of most interesting letters from our
special correspondent in Utah. The Mormons
are returning in large numbers 10 Salt Lake
City. The army had passed through The city
and taken up their quarters in camp at Cedar
Valley, forty miles to the southwest Of the capt.
