~ There is a great fuss made
about double sets Of delegates from this
State and from Illinois to the Charles
ton Convention. But it is Of very little
consequence which set of delegates,
here or there, is admitted, or whether
they arc both rejected TIE Souther7a

Goerentio', and tie choice Of tie can

So says the New York Herald
That paper occasionally manages to
tell the truth by accident. Nothing
can be more plain than that the South
will have full control of the Charleston
Convention. The louisiana Democrat
&c Convention instructed the delega-
ton OF that State to withdraw from the
Convention if the two-thirds rule be
not observed.

READ, DOUGLAS MEN, READ!

From the 81. Paul Pioneer and Democras.l
We are in daily receipt of letters from DO
litical friends, filled with anxious inquiries
concerning the present state of the Presiden-
tial question, and desiring an expression of
our views to the probable influence of the
election Of the Ninth upon the prospects of
candidates, and with reference to the various
platforms Of principles really at issue before
the people, and which are to be practically at
the polls. We do not hesitate to respond to
these inquiries; and the less SO because it is
a part Of our duty to treat all such matters.
candidly and frankly, even in the absence Of
friendly solicitation.
In the first place, then, we think the result
Of the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana, demonstrate, beyond all reasonable
ground for doubt, that those States will 70
for Lincoln in November, and 6y eastly H.
creased majorities. The disgustingly corrupt
scheme of fusion which was entered into par
TALLY in Ohio and Indiana, and completely in
Pennsylvania, has been repudiated by the
people OF those States, emphatically and just
". 1t cannot be assumed that the people of
other States in which the canvass has been
made up according to the fusion programme,
will act with any less honesty and intelligence,
when the time comes for them to vote. We
tAs'sE, therefore, that NeW York soiW folI0w in
the Wake Of her sister Middle States, ritA a
majority Of from one to tro hundred tsousand
against the fusion outrage; and zoe think,
further, that the people Of that State wiU vin-
dicate their reputation for moral honesty and
political deceney By such a cote. And, mas,
much as the poisonous influence of this Fu-
sion Upas has been extended beyond the
States in which it was planted, demoralizing
the Democracy, destroying their hopes and
and paralyzing their efforts, we CANNOT BE-
LlEvE otherscsse than that THE WHOLE NORTH
WILL GO FOR MISUNDERSTANDING the vote of
the Free States, for the first time in our his
tory, purely sectional in its character.
In the second place, we think the influence
OF the elections of the Ninth will be to Sec
tionajize the vote Of the South. The South
must view the results in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Indiana, as determining the election Of
Lincoln. The natural impulse Of the South
ern mind will be to meet Northern radicalism
with the radicalism Of its own section. There
is not time enough left to organize new con-
sentative movement in the South Of sufficient
strength to combat and conquer the sectional
passions, which, already excited, will be in

in every respect. We do not know that there
will be any spurious tickets scattered in this
county, next Tuesday, but we know that
such things have been done, and may be

wrong, either in spelling of names, omission
Of some one candidate, and the substitution
of another not properly belonging there, and
other hardly noticeable features, that will be
apt to pass unheeded if the ticket be not
