- The Louisville Courier. staunch Democrs-
tic and aut Douglas organ thus reveals IN advance
the nice little scheme by which 1t expects the
South to control everything IN ITS own way at the
Charle ston Presidential Convention:
Delegates have already been appointed by
several of the Northern States TO the Charles
ton Convention. The preferences of the del
egations are not certainly known. but enough
is known TO show that the North will not be
a unit for any one asprant. From several
Northern States there will be two sets of del
egates New York. Pennsy lvsnia and Illi-
nois will probably send double delegations.
These delegations will be excluded from the
Convention, until their claims are examined
and determined on. and in the mean time the
! Southern States having decided majority,
will probably go to work. pass the 1.-TWO
thirds rule and thereby virtually coutrol
the Convention.

The Washington Constitution has much
TO say OF the safe middle ground" upon
" hich the whole Democratic party is called
to unite regarding the questions of Slavery

'cision OF the highest tribunal known to this
Government, SECURES To EVERY CITIZEN I'll +
RIGHT OF TAKING IL HOLDING HIS

OF THE UNITED STATES. This is the
bond. and by it we believe the people OF
the Northern States are willing TO abide
Honor, truth plighted faith. and every other
