TIE Charleston platform will be the point OF
danger to the democracy; but the candidates
will be the great trouble with the Republicans
The most conspicuous aspirants for this dts"
tinction are exGor. Seward, Of New o11;
Coz. Banks, Of Massachusetts; and Gov; Cha3e,
Of Ohio. Seward expects the nomlnation.-h1s
friends demand it ia his behalf as bis. frt'n
every consideration Of right, justice and exl'e-
diency. They are also working systematically
to rain the Convention which is 10 decide the
question; aud they may he able thus to extof
his nomination. Let them do it, and the tic"

Upon one point we are entirely conssneto.
Let Seward he nut forth rs Republican cai1'
