Charleston couvention-Tho Nomine,

Charleston Convention-The Nominee
The timo for holding the National Dems
ocratic Convention has been set for the 23d
day of April, 1860 The time will soon be
here, Now that the politicians have date
to play on, we expect the mention of
April 23d to far exceed that of July
4th, with Christmas and New Years thrown
inf we may except, in this prediction,
Young America, who don't mix in politics.
and who could hardly be made to underr
stand what politicians are making such a
racket about,
We are pleased that the time has been
named for an early day in 1860. The Com
vention will come OF before the sickly sea-
son arrives, which will be greatly to the
advantage Of delegates from the north, who
might ever return, should they visit the
.yh ter in the year. Then again, it will
b.. rur that the strife between aspirants
IOI occidental horors be settled at the
first possible moment While the nomina-
tiou is an "Open question" imprudent and
Incorporate men will continue to create
mischief in our ranks They are prone to
this as the sparks are to fly upward The
settlement of the question at Charleston will
have the effect of taking from them an occu,
patton which is at present q thorn in the
side of the party.
If we may credit the editor Of the Cincinr
natl Commercial, who is at present "a Gip-
sying' about the Capitol at Washington
Judge Douglas has no chance whatever for
the nomination at Charleston. On the other
hand, cleveland" the Washington CORES,
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, gen.
tleman who has every possible facility for
ascertaining the feeling among the Democ-
racy at that point, says Douglas is daily
gaining in favor with all classes of Demo.
Gratis The secret to the Commercial cor
respondents prediction may be discovered
in the fact that Judge Douglas is the LAST
man the Black Republicans desire to have
the nomination at Charleston; and the wish
is not only father to the thought, but to its
expression. At present the fact cannot be
disguised that Douglas is the man indicated
by a large majority of the Democrats in
every part of the Union for the Presidential
nominatian. The opposition to him is daily
growing less, while the feeling in his favor
is swelling with each hour. So great is this
feeling, and 80 much is believed to depend
on the Little Giant that his death would be
considered public calamity; and it is
doubtful whether another man could be found
in our ranks who could fill the same space
in the heart of the American people,
On the 23d of next April, then, the
Democracy will meet at Charleston, and the
vexed question of t0ho shall be our Nation
al standard-bearer will soon thereafter be
settled. As the interim is short, let us devote
it to preparation to do battle for the nominee,
whoever he may be.

Heller Disposed of.

Senator Briggs, of North Carolina, thus
disposed of Mr.. Heller, author of the "Im-
pending Crises" in his place in the Senate,
last winter The Republicans have rather
poor specimen for the author of 'trutht
full work" which they recommend to the
people north and south, whose object Is to
involve the South in servile war
Mr.. Briggs said-Hinton Rowan He'll
fer, the author of the "Impending Crii
Bis,' is a native of DaVie county, n C. His
hrst appearance in active life was as a clerk
OF Michael Brown, a merchant in Salisbury
North Carolina. Mr.. Brown is an elder In
the Presbyterian Church; and after Heller
removed to Salisbury he also Joined the
Presbyterian Church, and so far as was
publicly known, conducted himself with pro.
priety.
After living with Mr. Brown several years
as a clerk, it was understood at Salisbury
that he formed copartnership with Mr.
Cohman, in the book business, and left for
the North to lay in a stock of books. He
did not return, as was expected, but shortly
thereafter left for California, and then, or
shortly after his return, wrote a book called,
"Land of Gold" He returned TO Salisbury
about 1854 without any apparent business.
In the summer Of 1856 as is reported, and
believed, he procured surety for, and OBJ
tanned money. He however, about that
time, left for the North, where he now re-
aides, never having since returned to North
Carolina After leaving North Carolina he
changed his name from Heller to Helper;
and 1t was disclosed last year that while
clerk for Mr.. Brown, he purloined from
him $500, and after an exposure from Mr..
Brown, Heller, making merit Of necessity,
himself publicly coniesses, in e bsndbill
