The Next Presidsncy-The Issue Reduced
to Marrow Margin.
William Fl. Seward and his Presidential pro-
gramme having been substantially ratified by
the State of New York in our late election, We
may safely predict that he will be the master
spirit Of the republican camp in 1860. OF
course this will involve his nomination as the
republican candidate or the adoption of his
" irrepressible conflict" as the platform of the
party. Assuming that the republican bond of
cohesion in this great approaching struggle
win be hostility to slavery, to the extension Of
slavery and the slave power" how is this
sectional movement to be resisted in order to
be defeated?
The elections Of the present year have appa-
rently driven the democratic party to the south
side of Mason and Dixons line. The only
free State which we may set down as GER
tain to support the Charleston ticket in 1860, in
any contingency, is California. Pennsylvania
appears to be hopelessly lost; New Jersey
ditto; Indiana is exceedingly doubtful and ILL
nois depends upon nod or shake Of the
head from Mr.. Douglas. In this shaven and
shorn condition what are the forlorn demo-
cracy to do, or what can they do to be saved?
The Charleston Convention will decide either
upon sectional or national course. If they
should adopt the former, the proceeding will
be the last Of tie party; but upon whom, as
national man, on a broad and conservative
national platform, can the Charleston Conven-
ton rally and consolidate the broken and routed
battalions of the party. Let us briefly inquire.
As the lines are now drawn upon the slavery
question. it is morally certain that no Southern
man. as the democratic candidate for the sue
cession, can entertain the slightest hope Of an
election by the people. The best that he can
hope for is the Intervention of third party,
which will enable him to carry the election
into the House Of Representatives, where the
third party may carry off the prize. We be-
lieve this because we cannot call to mind the
name of any Southern man, within reach of the
Charleston Convention, who could count upon
