ga FRIENDLY TESTIMONY" In most of
the free States, the Democrats are not likely
to do much towards electing any candidate for
the Presidency, This fact induces Southern
leaders of the Democracy to admonish North
ern members Of the party against too much
forwardness in such matters as the nomination
of a candidate for the Presidency, and the con.
struction of platform on which to place him.
Nor is this all. Some of the leading Demo-
cratic organs at the South are SO graceless. so
destitute Of brotherly love, and SO sadly de
prayed, as to insinuate that their Northern
brethren are rogues. The following "friendly
testimony" is from recent issue of the Rich
mond Enquirer -
Look at some of the instances at the North
where the Democracy have so long remained
minority. They are powerless to secure
popular election to public offices. Their lead
ers have ceased to be responsible TO the public
opinion of the communities in which they re-
side The business Of Presdentmak-
ing. constitutes their main political stock in
trade. Unable to achieve anything towards
the election OF Presidential candidate, their
entire exertlons are confined to securing
claims upon the favor of some Presidential as.
Piraht w assisting him 10 procure nomna
tion. They thus become mere trading politi-
cians-Dartering caucus tricks for federal Off
ces--and, like all mere mercenaries when dis.
appointed IN the quid pro quo, they soon ioin
the ranks Of the enemy. Thus il is that. in so
many instances small Democratic minorities
at the North sorapidly become beautifully less.
until the Democratic party of whole com.
munity dwindes down TO a mere coterie
which, on the election Of Democratic Presi.
dent, finds federal spoils in its immediate
neghborhood sufficient to answer all its politi
cal wants in the way of public jobs and public
Offices. Itthen becomes the interest and the polio,
Of the little band Of principal managers to keeI
he party in he state in a minority, and IN IL,
smallest possible minority. These men are moi
unfrequenty heralded through the newspapers
as a 'forlorn hope'--a band Of devoted patriots
standing firmly opposed to overwhelming ma
jorities---undergoDg priyation and defying
} popularity in an unselfsh devotion to political

Democratic state Convention.

Democratic State Convention.
The convention of the Democratic party
meets in this city to-day, for the nomination OF
State officers and delegates to the Charleston
Convention. Very many of the eminent and
active Democrats of the Commonwealth were
in town yesterday afternoon and evening, and
were zealously engaged in canvassiag for the
various interests and sections of the party.
The prevalent sentiment last evening was de
cidedly in favor of Douglas, and of the election
of Douglas delegates to the National Conven-
ton. No other subject indeed, was talked
about or thought Of The most prominent
names suggested were Oliver Stevens of Bos-
ton, Isaac Davis of Worcester, Gen. Whitney
of Springfield, and w. C. N. Swift. Other
tickets have friends and supporters, bearing
the names of John I. Heard of Boston, Eras-
mus D. Beach of Springfield, Caleb Cushing
of Newburyport, and Isaac H. Wright of Bos-
ton. 1t is understood tlat the ticket headed
by Oliver Stevens is the Douglas ticket, while
that headed by Mr.. Heard represents the Ad-
minstration interests.
The delegates held an informal meeting at
Washburn Hall in the evening, Mr.. Whitaker
of Needham presiding. Speeches were made
by Ansel Phelps, Jr. of Springfield, Isaac ii.
Wright and Perkins Cleveland OF Boston.
Mr.. Wright claimed that the doctrine of 'pop
ular sovereignty" was the property of the
Democratic party, and that no man or set of
men in it, could take out patent and claim it
as their own. The speakers all deprecated di-
vision, and stoutly denied that any differences
OF opinion would interfere with their efforts
to secure the largest possible vote for the Dem
ocratic ticket in Massachusetts, at the next
election.
The hotels were overrun with patrons, and
there is little doubt that the Convention will
be the largest which the party has held for
many years The leading candidates for
President of the Convention, are Geo. B. Lor-
ing of Salem, and VIM. E. Parmenter of Bos-
ton, the former being the Douglas candidate.
No opposition is manifested to the nomina-
ton of Gen. Butler for Governor, and it is not
improbable that the nomination will be made
by acclamation.
