Mr NO fuy IA. Noh bu ~
Ter sovereignty, whatever may be his popu-
lsr,ty among the Northern democracy, is utterly
out of the question liz the South. With all their
distractions, our Southern politicians keep
sharp eye TO practical resulss; and having lost
the embryo State of Kansas under tAe experi-
ment ct squatter sovereignty, they have no dis
position to continu. that losing game. Hence
their lew cry OF Congressional Intervention for
the protection Of slavery in the Territories.
Governor Wise here comes boldly forward a the
especial champion of Southern rights, after
having stood by the side of Douglas aud hs
Ncrtneru followers from the beginning &c the
end Of their anti-Lecompton rebellion. Bus in
this bold dash to regain his position in the South,
Governor Wise abandons the North to Douglas,
and thus these two conspicuous men are in the
best possible position of sectional sutagonism TO
XII, off each other before the meeting Of the
Charleston Cor veution.
The position Of Senator Hunter. Oh the other
hand, is that OF mastery inaotiv ity," which
msy prove TOO intangible ard shsdowy to give
satisfaction to either the Northern or Southern
wing Of the party. He agrees in principle With Gov
Wise. that where the Territorial authorities NAV
fail to protect the institution of slavery it is the
duty Of Congress to interpose; but Mr.. Hunter,
on the score of expediency, thinks it hest upon
this question that the two sections should agree
to disagree, and say nothing and do nothing
upon the subject. This new eroond of expe-
diency will alternate that Southern ultra faction
y men have heretotore recognized Mr.. Hunter as-
their prophet, aud III losing them he Will be apt

The Convention. ttCn The law Of necessity,
may thus ne compelled to fall back upon Mr.
Buchanan. A, the Same time the incesssut hue
aud CRY Q, the opposition organs and politicians
that be il n candidate, and that all bis appoint
m.hs. all bis scts. and all his measures have
been adopted I'D view Of reelection. may Ope-
rate to convince all sections and ciiques of the
democracy that Mr.. Buchanan realty is their
only available candidate. During sne first term
u Mr. jefferson the Old federal party raised a
similar hue aud CRY against that distinguished
patrot, and the results were, first. his re cleo
lion by powerful majority; and, secondly the
establishment Of patty under his leadership
which held The unbroken occupation of the
government for twenty years So with regard
10 General Jackson. He was sincere 10 mis- wish
u retire from the White House after serving one
term, but the opposition would have it other
wise: and thus they padgered and worried the
democracy until they were convinced that Old
Hickory was their man. The results need no
reps .inOn here; but these examples are very sug-
gtstive ia regard 10 Mr. Buchanan.
In word, from the persevering efforts of the
opposition to make him Preside nt'sl candidate
ard from the distractions and endorsements
which. upon every other man, will coofron, the
democracy at Charleston, they may he COM
PEELED even against biz wishes, 10 pu. up our
good old tried and trusty President for a second
term. Should he thus be reelected, with trust
worthy colleague as Vice President, Mr.. Bu-
chapan, after putting the new administration
afoat will still be able, if resolved upon it, to
retire 10 private life ia 1861, by simply resign
ing bis Office. We would, accordingly, advise
the opposition Of sn shades and stripes, to keep
up their hue ard cry against MIN as Presiden.
t,a' candidate, for thus the democracy may dis
cover their way Of safety and success as in the
cares OF jefferson and Jackson
