The undersigned, being unavoidably pres,
vented, for season, from repairing 10 ms
future post Of duty, thinks that an oeca-
sional letter to the readers of the Journal
from this center of our States politics, will
not be unacceptable. He viii. therefore,
briefly touch upon such subjects of interest
az occur to him
There IS considerable stir Just now
amongst the leaders of the Democracy in
regard to the coming State Convention, in
which matters of national importance are
to be considered. A bitter feeling exists
between the Administration and Douglas
wings of the Democracy The former,
der the control of John L. Robinson, seeks
to get the upper hand in the organization
of the Convention. For some time spir-
tied controversy has been carried on as to
the proper time of holding the Convention.
As the " immortal Eighth of January"
comes on Sunday, it was out of the CUES
ton to hold the gathering on that day, SO
the Administration men fixed on the 9th as
the proper time The Douglas folk objected,
for tile reason that the " masses could not,
by leaving home Monday morning, reach
here in time to participate in the organiza-
ton. They have, by common consent.
agreed on the 1lth as the day, but Mr.. Bu-

will be fuss, unless Mr.. r. backs down
from his position, and he is not one of that
kind of men. He generally carries out
whatever he undertaken. The probabilities
are that two conventions will be held that
each will choose its delegates and send them
10 Charleston Which win be "counted
in" and which counted out, of the Ma
tional muss, is a subject for guess work, but
it is pretty sure that body under the con-
troll of the Presidents right-hand men
Slidell, Davis Co.'s not going to allow
his disciples from Indiana to be sighted.
The sitting of the United States District
Court has brought together many of the
ablest men of the State. The Supreme
Court, which conyenes to-day, viii bring
more of the same sort, and it will also bring
an addition to the horde of partizans who
will throng our hotels from this time to the
meeting of the State Convention above
named. - %
The "Opposition are now resting COM
placently on their oars, enjoying the victo-
ries recently won, and looking forward
hopefully to the opening of the approaching
session of Congress. They desire to witness
the first fruits of their -Administratio
victories manifested at an early day, by such
a commencement of the winters business
at Washington as viii insure retrenchment
in the enormous expenditures of the present
Administration, exposure of the extrava-
gance and corruption of the "powers that
be-" and such relief to the financial embar-
easements of the country as n well-disposed
Congress can give. To this end, it is hoped
by the reasonable portion of the Opposition
that no exclusive spirit win be exhibited by
the Republicans; but that they will accept
such aid as they can honorably get, to coop
crate with them in securing an Auti-Ad-
ministration organization - thus bringing
about the desirable objects aimed at We
believe, with Mr.. Banks, that success is a
duty" and it is hoped that that belief win
induce the elements of the Opposition to
lay aside minor differences, snd strive to-
gether to inaugurate cooperative move
ment in Congress, which will open the way
to national victory in 1860. "A,
The writer infers, from the uneasiness ex-
pressed by certain of our exchanges, in ref
erence to the political position of the Jour
mai under the new management that its posi-
ton has not been sceH defined within the
past few years. Those friends who show so
much solieitude for our principles, may be
assured that we will ever 5e found on the
right side, wherever that is. We shall go
SO far as to say, that we are decidedly op-
posed to the principles and corrupt practices
of the present Administration, and shall do
all in our power to have said Administration,
and all its aiders and abettors,l ousted from
power. .How this may be done, is a subject
for future consideration
There are other subjects that should like
to discuss, but my letter is sufficiently
lengthy, and must close for the present.
