Anti-Douglas Movements.

It seems to be the aim Of the enemies OF
Douglas to hamperthe action Of theCharleston
Convention as much as possible. Fearful that
the untrammeled Judgement of that body may
prove to be in favor Of the Illinois statesman,
they seek to interrupt the harmony of its
proceedings by boiling almost every conven-
tion, for the nomination Of delegates, which
seems to favor Douglas, Where there is any
doubt as to the complexion of the delegation,
as in the New York Syracuse Convention,
they rest satisfied and take the risk but they
first violate the usages Of the party by re-
fusing to abide by or forestalling the action
of the District Conventions, fearing that these
Conventions would be so unequivoeally in
favor Of Douglas as to settle the character of
the delegation beyond question.
| In the Congressional Uonv ventions so far held
in Massachusetts, the Anti Douglas men have
shamlessly bolted,a and propose to send boiling
delegates to the Charleston Convention. The
programme Of the Buchanan or AntiDoug.
las men, in Illinois, is to do the same thing
there, and delegation of Buchanan boilers
from the regular organization will be sent
from that State to the National Convention.
| The same programme, it is feared, will be
followed out in every State where there is q
division Of sentiment in the Democratic par
ty. The cry of the Buchanan side Of the
house is eternally against boiling. and yet
these BUCCANEERS are the most reckless. bra
zen. imprudent and incorrigible boilers in the
world They made their great fight in thi
State. on the ground that it would not do t,
bolt the regular organization. At the sam,
timethey We're boiling in Ill, and whereve
else they had a minority. If it is wrong TO
Douglas men to bolt. and they seldom do it
why in the name Of God is it not equal J
reprehensiJle for Anti-Douglas men to bolt
Boiling is boiling, no matter who does it.
Now, what will be the result of these
double delegations at the Charleston Conven
ton? The majority of the regular delegate,
from the Northern States will be Douglas
men, Will they be excluded from the Con-
venIion or not? Will the boilers be received
in their place? A woful day will it be for
the Democracy should such be the case, and
God forbid that such a fearful catastrophe
for the Democratic party should take place

The lecture might almost be said to have
been defence of the character Of Swift from
the aspersions of Thackeray. who described
him as coarse, vulgar. and wanting in hu-
manly, or, in the language of Mr.. Meagher,
sardOnic individual with shovel hat and
cassock, scowling through his paint like a
clerical Cherokee" The lerturer depicted
Swift in a different light. carefully eulogiE-
ing his character, not CLOSING over the weak

Col. Forney puts the enormity Of the most
recent phase Of the doctrine Of "non-inter-
vention" with slavery in the Territories thus
strongly. "The Washington Constitution,
speaking for Mr.. Buchanan, in editorials did,
tated from his brain, if not written by his
own hand, plants itself upon the doctrine
that to the Executive must be committed
the duty Of enforcing the decisions Of the
Supreme Court-in other words, that non
ihteruentiom by Congress, and non intsrven-
ton by the people Of the Territories, are to
Be substitutsd BY Executive intsrvsntion.
Such is the new position Of Mr.. Buchanan,
his Cabinet, his dependents, and his organs.
1t is impossible to conceive anything at once
more dangerous and revolutionising than
this assumption
And that is just exactly what Daniel Web
ster said ten years ago Of the ideas Of ex-
tending the Constitution OF the United States
over the Territories. Here it is in his own
truthful words:
"lt comes to this, then, that the Constitu-
ton is to be extended az far rs practicable;
but how far that is, is to be decided by the
President OF the United States and therefore
h Is to haze ABSOLUTE AND despotic power.''

probable at present. And looking into the
haze and cofusion Of tho strife and blood Of

range Of moderate imagination TO fancy
that the wa.chwords Of regenerated and

sentiment may unite Southern Europe with

united and overwhelming phalanx against
Austria and the Pope. Things more strange

history and serve a. landmarks from which
We date the epoohs Of the past.
We need but oasta cursory glance over the
history Of the past to become aware that in
the midst Of great Continental Wars, events
multiply with much rapidity. Astounding
changes, shaping ages Of subsequent history,
are the births Of an hour. And during such
periods, prejudices, enthusiasm, fanatioism

dividuals, and bear them along in paths not
marked out by mans foresight, to goals not
dreamed of by those who marshaled the
armies on the field Of conflict. And while
it is not clear that We can anticipate any def
mite results from the present grand array of
Nations, it seems that the position, char.
aoter, aims, alliances, sympathies, temper
and necessities of European Governments
and people tend eventually to an active com
bination against Absolutism led on by Aus
tria. 1t would seem improbable that any Of
the great powers OF Europe should unite with
Austria in this struggle, and it is more than
probable that oil the lesser powers which

Another sickies Tragedy.


John w. Clawson shot and INSTANTLY kill |
ed Richard Mahons. in the Streets ..of Cincin-
natl the other day.
Clawson six years ago being then eighteen
years old married beautiful girl of Phila-
delphia aged fifteen. Two years afterwards
she sloped but after q short time returned
penitent and was received again by her hus-
band With whom she lived happily till within
few months, when tho deceased invaded the
Sanctity Of Clawson's marriage bed. The
wife still young became Mahone's mistress
and lived in lodgings provided by him while
he still maintained his usual relations to his
own wife and family.
The defenders Of Sickles will be under
obligations to approve the course Of Clawson
notwithstanding this was the second elope-
ment Of his wife, for he had a. good right
to Judge Of the value Of the sanctity Of his
marriage bed as ever Sickles had, unless in
deed there be something peculiar about the
bed OF . member Of Congress.
Its more than likely that Mrs. Clawsor
will now return to her FIRST love, and he may
be put to the necessity of vindicating th,
purity Of his marriage bed by killing another
man or two.

WASHINGTON, May 10.
just previous to Count Sartige's leaving
here recently, he openly said In CONVERSE
ton with two well-known gentlemen OF New
York, that il there should DO . European
war, he believed it would not be without en-
barrassment to our commercial relations, for
the right Of search would be re- asserted and
enforced. This remark WAS made with en-.
phasis. The responsibility Of the party from
whom this information was derived, leaves
no doubt of its truth.

The Pssitf ON ana Aims or European
AUleYs.

u
RULERS.
Without attempting to penetrate the arosns
OF European diplomacy, or to unfold the
great mysteries OF the philosophy of history,
We may possibly do our readers a service by
presenting a few facts which lie on the sur
face of things, and will seem to exercise .
very material influence in the progress Of
pending events.
The nominal grounds Of the present war,
and they are quite as real and important as
usually exist for war, arise from disputed
questions appertaining to the possessions
which the Emperor Of Austria holds in Italy
to the annoyance, if not to the injury, Of the
King Of Piedmont.
Francis Joseph, the Emperor Of Austria,
now about thirty years Of age, inherits oil
the obstinacy and love Of power, and but q
modicum Of the ability that has distinguish
cd his race. He is hereditary interloper in
Italy, whore he rules Lombardy, and by vir-
tue OF that int crest and his patronage of the
Pope, intervenes in and influences the A.
fairs Of the Italian States more than 10 agree
able to such OF them IS prefer taking care Of
their own matters. Butt power and policy
of Francis Joseph are particularly offensive
to Victor Emmanuel, Constitutional Exeou'
tive head Of Piedmont, Sardinia and Savoy
under the title Of King Of Piedmont. He il
half dozen years the senior Of the EN-
peror Of Anstria, . ruler Of great good sense
Of determined purpose and nobly ambitious
to unite Italy into one compact power under
his ule.
The Pope attempted to interfere in bis ID
ninistration for the protection of the spirit
ual vassals Of the Church in his dominions
and be worsted his Holiness in the contest
and thereby alienated his sympathies. s.
that in the present contest the favor OF tn
Pope will be with Austria, and eventual.
that influence may tell very powerfully upo'
the Catholics Of Europe against Victor En-
manuel and in favor Of Francis Joseph. For
would seem, that while the Pope might safel
befriend foreign power like Austria an
derive advantage from her profession in re
turn, that the temporal interests Of an Ital
ian Sovereignty must Of necessity come int
collision with the rights and interests Of th
Pope.
But while on the other hand the Pope ma
