THE DETERMINATION OF THE DEMOCRACY.

The ascendcncv of the Democratic party is
seriously threatened, not only in Pennsylvania
and New York, but in the Federal Government
in all its departments, by prevailing dissen-
sions.
In more than half the Congressional Dis
trcts in the South, where vacancies are to be
supplied for the next Congress, issues have
arisen full of peril to Democratic success.
We counsel mrmony. Never before, in the
history of our glorious party, or of our coun-
try, have such pcrils besct us; and never be-
fore has our hope, for the triumph of Constitu'
tional liberty, on this continent and through
the instrumcntality Of our existing Union,
rested so absolutely on the Democratic. party.
The great issues of 1850 arc made up. They
are issues of life and death IF the Democratic
party goes to pieces now, under the weight
Of the Black Republican wave, all will be
lost Let, therefore, our friends everywhere
bury their feuds, forget personal animositics,
follow Virginia in her march TO triumph
and sustain her as she bears the iias of the
Constitution To the heights Of the cnemy's
rampartS
Friends in the South Throw away the
scabbard, and once moro let us hear the bnglc
of the old war, and the battlc-cry which has
so often chcercd lis in our struggles of 9" God
and our native land

AN OLD SOLDIER RIGHT AGAIN.

in Ire Editors Of the EnIuircr:
CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, April II, 1853.
The ad captandum talk Of Mr.. Goggin about
the Pension Bill was very quietly put to rest
las; Monday, at this place, by the mastery
yindcation of his vote on that question, by
orr noble candidate, John Lctchcr, of Lcxing-
tnr: and that vindication was endorsed by one
%. those same oppressed old veterans, who had,
unit! now. been the victim Of party purposes,
and had even consented, under plausible per-
s,,osion. to vote for the Bolts nominee, but
who the evening after the discussion at Char
ottesvle, voluntarily came out in favor Of Mr..
Lc,chcr. and confessed himself totally van
uuisled The old soldier declared that he
would vote for the faithful watchdog of the
treasury" Now this was, indeed, triumph
in small way.
But let it not be thought that this was the
oniy leaf Of Daphnc's deafness plants, which
Mr.. Ietchcr, on that day, added to the wreath
that already cncirclcd his head; and to which
Mr. Goggin so often directs his waggery. Mr..
Lc:chcrS closing halfhour speech was per-
hair>. the greatest triumph that has been seen
since the march from Elba. In rhetoric, in
crushing, destroying argument, and imposing
manner, he is only equalled and scarcely sur
passed by but one man now living in this Com
monwealth, and whose terrible invective, IN
1855. passed through the State like tornado
and placed Mr.. Buchanan in the Presidency.
We should all be proud of our Gubernator:al
candidate. He has come to the East Il msre
presented and underratcd man; but 1t will be
har.l for him to leave it IN oyerrated one.

Why Mr. Letcher was not at Ashland.

The reason why Mr.. L0tchcr was not at
Ashland was because he acas not Mrited.
The celebration was party affair, in honor
of the birthday Of Henry Clay, and the pro-
pricty Of discussion of party politics, upon
such an occasion, was very much doubted by
maryland, as Mr. Lctcher had received no for
NAL invitation, he did not intrude himself upon
such a celebration. He could not discuss party
politics without assaling the political princi-
pies Of the man whose birthday was being
commemoratcd, and, in our opinion, Mr..
Lctchcr displayed good taste in not forcing a
discussion by attending at Ashland. Our
Opposition friends, however, will have
enough Of Mr.. Letchcr before the canvass

As Mr.. Lctchcr is following Mr.. Goggin
through the East, and the appointments hav-
ing been made by Goggin. we have to ask,
why Richmond city has been dodged! Mr..
Goggin has been heard in Richmond without
his competitor, but no discussion has been had
in this city. We hope Mr.. Goggin will not
disappont the citizens of Richmond, in all op-
portunity to witness that gladatorial exhibi-
ton which has amused so many portions Of
the State, and in which our correspondents rep
resent him as having been very considerably
worsted Come to Richmond Mr.. Goggin.

Mcssrs. Editors This morning the thcr-
momctcr Fahrcnhcip is standing at 50 deg,
and vet on account of the brisk winds which
have prevailed, there has been no frost, and
fruits and gardens are safe until to night. We
have had immense rains and farms are back

harm is vet DONE There is time enough for
every crop.
have no time to verify the opinion I have
formed from my personal observation, that the
wheat crop of the South is one of increasing
value. At all events it must be, should think,
even in the cotton belt, not much less than ten
per cent. Of the whole crop. 1t is promising
unusually well this year
Our plain farmers are as anXlouSy specula-
ting upon the prospects of war in Europe, as
the Cabinets and Diplomats which just now
seem to be mcditating that horrible drama.
I have read the communications Of your very
able correspondent "Publius" on the Kansas
Nebraska Bill, with great pleasure and profit,
and vet think few explanatory notes ought
to accompany his mastery production, and per-
haps one or two slight qualifications.
if Won will allow me, and he will forgive my
presumption, for, without knowing who he is,
cannot fail to detect great mind in his
writings, will venture some brief running
comments on his last article.
The late Connecticut elections arc full oil
warning to the South The North is united
shall we remain divided.
O'Bricn was received in Montgomery with
every mark ofrcspcct. and the Know Nothings
as heartily united in demonstrations of civilty
rs even the Democrats. We have not only
compellcd them to abandon their monstrous
political tcncts, but have improved their man.
ners withal.
Our prospects in this congressional district
remain gloomy. Col. Yancey, Mr.. Clopton
and n. Smith Graham have each declined the
candidacy. An attempt to persuade Mr.. Dow
dell to reconsider his determination not to run,
although strongly and almost, if not quite,
unanimously concurred in by the Democrats,
failed The Democrats are divided, and unless
more harmony prevails than there is now, |
much fear the district will pass into the hands
Of the Opposition.
You have seen that the falling off in cotton
