STICKING TO 1.-THE TRIBUNE don't like TO let go

nam Express.
We must give The Express up as incapable Of
stating the truth. We have never "put down" the
Democrats 4" who made that grant or lease as vii
4" lains and devils" nor anything Ike this. The
Eyprsss pitched into the lease unspariDgly, suppos-
ing and charging that it had been made by Repub-
licars: whereupon we stated and proved that it
was made by Democrats" only that, and nothing
(" more There stands the fact on reeord-tiere is
no longer chance to deny it. If our City shall be
compelled to pay 100000, or any other SUN, 70
TAYLOR & Brennan for back rents Of the West
Washington Market property, it will do so
wholly absolutely exclusively because OF the action
OF our late Democratic State Officers; for the con-
tnuance of the lease by the present Republi-
can State Officers, on the urgent recon-
incubation Of their Democratic predecessors, does
not affect this claim for back rents hair. But
oil this does not prove the late State Officers, nor
any other Democrats, CIVILIANS and devils" nor
Al yti ing like it. We have expressed no opinion
on that head. We know that the present Re-
publican State Officers are not "knaves," as The
Express coarsely charges; we do not say that their
Democratic predecessors were. We have confined
ourselves TO proving that the great claim against
our City grows entirely out of the action of our
late Democratic State Officers, and that if there
has been default Gas The Express asserts, but
we do no on the side of the City, that toe, is the
fault of Democratic oficials-primarily of our late
Corporation Counsel. The Express either is or
AFT cts to be ignorant that we demurred to theWest
Washington Market bill lately passed before the
Governor vetoed it, and heartily sustained the veto.
Still, we are satisfied that, in the hands of Con-
troller Haws and Judge Bronson, no harm can
come from that act.

the, have seen ct To bolt and it should not be that
msjority's misfortune If Alabama and her sym
p.,h,ziDg peighsors choose no longer TO be repre-
sentsd in the Convention, they have perfect right
to stay out Of it; but in that case their votes ought
not to count against choice. Let those States be
in the Convention or out of it az they choose; but
rot in and out of it at the same time.
Then the persistent attempts Of the minority
to dictate to the majority in the vital matter Of

A Convention is not authorized to make q creed
for its party but simply to declare what that creed
is. The Convention, by decisive vote, after
full and earnest discussion, has formally adjudged
that the Slave Code dogma and its concouitauts
form no part of the National Democratic creed.
That ought to be conclusive. To attempt to coerce
the majority into saying, or even half saying, that
10 be the Democratic creed which they have delib-
eratelJ and formally decided is not, strikes us IS at
once unfair and arrogant SO do the persistent and
msnscirg limitations Of certain slaveholdng dele

under due provocaton be respectable to thrcatent to

otherwise-either insolent or despicable.
The Convention, it is said, will adjourn over
perhaps to Baltmore--At all events, to June, and
to some other place than Charleston. The better
course would be to adjourn without day, leaving
every Democrat free to name his own candidate
and make bis own platform In the state OF dilaP-
idstion and desuetnde into which the Democratic
organization has fsllen, this would seem at once
popular and polite. We trust the year 1860 will
witness the last assembling Of q National Conven-
ton to nominate candidates for the Presidency and

FAMILY JARS AT CHARLksTON.

badly geared, and its running works sadly in need
of fabrication. This is of course less formidable
nuisance to people who are RENTED to their vrtu-

in q Convention reduced by voluntary secessions

PHILADELPHIA ELECTION.

-Four years ago, in the opening of the Presiden-
tial canvass of 1885, Philadelph is-which had pre-
viously been Opposition-elected Democratic
Mayor Orchard yaux) by the decisive majority Of
1873, choosing Democratic Municipality through
out. That result paved the way for the operations
whereby the City was carried largely for Buchanan
over all opponents in the ensuing State, and over
whelmipgly in the Presidential Election. Mr.. b.
chanan's vote was then, by gigantic and complicated
frauds, carried up to 30 G22-some 5000 moro than
had ever before been poIed for any paIty-asainst
1893 for Fremont, and 2i,Os4 for Fillmore. Bu-
chanan's declared majority was thus GAS over ali
opponents; while in the whole State-Philadelphia
included-he had but COZ majority-not 1.-THE Of
that counted for him in tho City. And now the
Opposition have carried the City on very heavy
vote, eleeting their Mayor by BIG majority, with
preponderance in both the Select and Common Coun'
ellis. This is q very happy augury for the pending
Presidential contest.
The gain to the side of Right is not limited to that
above exhibited in the relative vote. The OPP
position in Philadelphia are no longer discordant,
Jealous, repeIIant, but harmonious, if not abso-
lutey homogeneous and determined not to be d.
vded and defeated in the great struggle before Us.
Their triumph on Tuesday will powerfully contribute
TO that which, We trust, awaits us in the November
Election.

The nomination Of Frank Pierce might seem,

bad again recovered its influence. But Pierce was
nomiI ated merely the strength of his entire and
total devotion to the slaveholding interest and on
the principle of holding out to even third and fourth.
rate Northern politicians the prospect Of the high
est political position to be obtained, not by leader
ship but by subscrveucy. Mr. Pierce was, in fact,
nOt the candidate Of the Northern Democrats, but
the candidate of the shareholders, to whose favsr
he was indebted for both his nomination aud
his election.
The effect of this new scheme Of political re-
generation was soon apparent, in the introduction
by Mr Douglas of the KansasNebraska bill; the
attempt to entce the Northern Democracy into its
support, under the delusive prcssxt OF Squat.er
Sovereignty, ard the effort to cOercs the reluctant
by The whole weight of Executive influence. But
this was point to which the honest and intelligent
portion of the party could not be brought. The
passage of the Kansas Nebraska bill, including the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, indicated .
fixed resolution to sectonalize the Federal Govern
pent, and to make it subservient to the extension
and perpe.uation of slave labor. The intelligent
Democrats in the Free.Labor States refused to
become parties to this procedure. Seeding at
once from an organization which could no longer
be considered as anything but Sham Democracy,
they assisted in forming the Republican party.
Wba! is now going on proves that they did this none
tho soon. They have washed their hands Of the
disgraces of Buchanan's Administrat on, and they
have escaped the humiliations of the Charleston
Convention.

TbeTIon. Gen. Caleb Gushing votes regularly we
believe, for Gen. Jefferson DAVIS, his colleague in
the Cabinet Of Gen. Franklin Pierce. This vote,
cast usually in solitude, or with barely a sup
porter, is proof of soundness on the goose which
cannot be too much admired. For jeff Davis
stands unequvocaly on the Southern Platform, and
will have no part nor lot in that concocted by the
Douglas majority Of the Convention.
