psrty) that their profession Of Free-Seilum W"
sham, and that they used the Wdaot Proviso
merely As convenient club for beating the breath
out Of Gen. Cass. The beresy Of Io4S can never
be forgotten BY 4he South. But is il ,eyer to be
forgiven Is the coDdemDatory sentence to be as
inexorable and interminsbls as that Of Edea
Shall the Buffalo Platform rrpudiators crawl on
their bellies and eat dirt all the days Of their lives
and not be forgiven st last
word in respect to Wise and Hunter E,eh
il plotting TO secure the Charleston nomination
Each hates the other a. intensely az ever Marcy
hated Dickiason. Each i. trying to thxsrt and
crush bis rival Each is anxious to secure the aid
Of Douglss-Wise. On the ground that be synPa-
thied with him in the Buchanan-Lecomptor con-
test Of las. yesr-Hunter because he rather sided
with him on the Hoor oftis Senste in the encounter
with JEFF. Davis over the Territorial slave code
question last Winter Each is erdes7oring to form
cosliton With the wranglbg factions of this State
Wise with the H.rds, and Hunter with the
Softs. Each carries on the fight at home and
abroad in bis own characteristic way. Wise Is
bold even to temerity Hunter cautious even to
fight, and though he may ge' badly cut up, his
very impetuosity may give him the victory
Hunter shrinks from controversy. We recoilect
the amusing spectacle Of last Winter when Doug
las and Davis were having their four hour con-
test over Popular Sovereignty snd Congressional
protection to Slavery in the Territories The
seats Of the belligerents were immediately on the
right and left of the Virginia Senators. The
afflicted visage Of the peace loving Hunter, as be
turned now to the impetuous IllinOisian and then
to the fiery Mississippan, seemed to say as plainly
as does poor old Adam, in the quarrel between
Orlando and Oliver: Sweet masters, be patient;
"for your fathers remembrance. be at accord"
Hunter has good deal Of quiet strength; but if
Wise has set his heart upon driving him to the
wall, to the wall the Senstor goes, even though
the Governor may dash bis own brains out in the
struggle. If the feud be as bitter between then as
is represented, both will be unavailable for 1869
This narrous the contest in the South Stephens
will destroy Cobb in Georgia Breckenridge will
Kill Guthne in Kentucky. Sliden hates Douglas
too bitterly for the party to dare to put him IN no
nation. Though the recent bold letter of Douglas
places him hors du combat the South will not need
lessy provoke him by selecting as its candidate one
whom he 50 cordially detests and despses- The
number of rival Southern candidates, aud the d.
yersity of sentiment in that section of the Union On
the subjects of revival and slave code for
the Territories, may impel the Charleston ConVen-
tion to fall back upon some new Southern man ike
Polk, or may even force it Nortbward in search
of pable person, like Pierce, who will unite oil
factions during the CANVASS, and whose Admins
traton can be quite easily bent to the purposes
of the Slave Power as If its head were selected
from the tropical side Of Mason and DAon's line
In such a probable complication of affairs at
Charleston, it is of the last Importance to Gov
Seymour that the delegation from New-iork should
not have in it any hard, uDmaeable ingredients,
but that the entire mass be of that soft supple ma
teral which readily assumes such shape as the ma
nipulator desires. We advise him, therefore, not
to yield to the Dickinson clamor for an election OF
delegates by Districts, but to adhere to the org
inal plan of selection by State Convention.
