James Guthrie.
ur- %hsr- v. Nstr,,s


There is quiet but strong movement now in
progress, designed to make James Guthrie Of
Louisville, Kentucky, the next Democratic can
date TOT Frealdent; and, as We probably know
more OF him than do some Of those who will be
called or to give him their support. We propose
ment.
ar- Gnthrie is strong man, intellectually
and physically. He is more than sixty years
old, but has been little in public life, owing to-
the antagonism Of his political views to those
which prevailed in Louisville and Kentucky
during the better portion of his mature Life.
Forty years ago, when he was not nenrly so
rich as be is now, he came in collision with Ar,
Clay in the fierce controversy between the
bankrupt and the solvent portions Of the people
OF Kentucky, engendered by the creation Of a
new Court to uphold Stop-Laws in season Of
New Court" and "0ld Court" parties. Mr.
Clay was IN ''Old Court" Mr.. Guthrie "New
Court" man, and tile antagonism thus engen-
oered continued TO the dcath Of the former.
Hence, Mr- Guthrie became JACKSON man,
and in due time WAS dubbed a "Democrat,'
which, Us he is almost the most decided aristo-
crat IN Kentucky, was Of about the average I'M
pFopriety. Ar. Guthrie is very rich, very inde
pendenti in his notions, heavy Shareholder, and
| very determined champion Of slayery. H.
has been member Of the Kentucky Senate, Of
the last Constitutional Convention Of that Suite,
1uu Rtes!oeo over the treasury department Qn-
der President Pierce with decided ability He
ls at heart for Protective Tariff, but thinks
the rose would smell sweeter Of less rankly by
some other name. Ue4s rather opposed to pub
lie robbery, and would make better President
elected.
j.. We have thus giren d brief but frank and en-
flreiy candid account Of Mr. Guthrie. 10 far as
We know him. OF his chances or wishes as to
the domination proposed, We hare no knowledge
and little curiosity. So far a. the public service
is concerned, NC spprehcnd that whether one
or another receives the next Democratic nomin-
alton sor President will make little difference,
put We should prefer to have an opposing candi-
date Whom it would be IN honor to beat

The proyerb which says that 1t never Rains
but 1t Pours, was never more strikincly illus
tratod than on Monday and Tuesday last, when
Tie Republican victories in St. Louis, Cincin-
na'A Cleveland, Detroit Chicago, Springfield,
and the State Of Connecticut, came crowding
each other other over the wires. The example
Of New Hampshire seems to have infected the
whole country. The Charleston nomination is
becoming IN nbstxacdon-an honor too void Of
significance to be worth quarrel Shortly
before the election in Connecticut, Senator
Douglas addressed letter to the pro-slavery
committee Of that State, putting tho issue Of
Popular Sovereignty square]y before the people,
aud claiming tile anticipated triumph Of the De-
mocracy as victory for his "grcat principle y
1t Is hoped he is satisfied with the estimate
there placed upon his "principlc.' The whole
hocus pocns Of The Democratic platform has
como down in heap-Popular Sovereignty,
Drod Scott, Cuba steaing, Slnyo Trade, and
the whole fabric Of fraud and falsehood.
To every sagacious observer Of political
events and the current Of popular opinion, it
must be evident that nothing hut the grosscst
ancapacity and mismanagcment can prevent a
Republican triumph in tue nation in 1850.
Ihe campaign has in one sense already begun.
Each general election is looked upon as ind-
cative Of tho result Of the great battle next
year, and tho contestants everywhere make
their appeals on the basis Of that strife. To
this point in the latter Ealf Of Ar Buchanan's
tcsm tho success Of the Republican cause hns
been complete and uninterrupted. Whatever
may be predicted upon present majorities,
coupled with thorough organization mud a
righteous cause, may be set down to the ac-
count Of Rcpublicanism in tho approaching
Presidential contest Who does not say that
Freedom shall achieve a conclusive triumph
in 1861?
