THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION.

COMMENTS OF THE SOUTHERN PRESS.
From Tie Augusta (Ga.J ConstitutionaIist, May 6.l
The question for Southern Democrats now to de-
eide is, which Convention do they desire to be re-
presented in, the National Democratic Convention,
or the Secession ConventiOn-the Convention of the
National Democracy, adjourned from Charleston
to Baltimore, or the Convention called by the Sc
ceding delegations to meet at Richmond. 1t is
very evident that the Democratic party is split
asunder, and hopelessly divided in each of the
States of the South, whose delegates in whole in
part seeded from the National Democratic Con-
ventiOn. The disruption of the seceders is COM
plete, and they evidently do not intend longer to
cooperate with, or be part of the National Demo-
cratic party. They will form an independent sec
tional organization, or they will unite with the
American or Know-Nothing opposition, to beat
down and conquer the National Democratic party
which will preserve its organization in those seve
raj Southern States. What Interior designs this
fragment of the National Democracy thus flying
off from the main body may have whether ulti-
mate disunion be their purpose, or 1t be merely a
struggle for local power in State elections, or a
design to war on obnoxious Democrats, 1t is not in
our power to determine. All these motives enter
doubtless into its composition. =
Let conservative men, therefore, of all parties and
of all shades OF opinion, examine the ground care
fully, judge calmly, patriotcally, and decide de-
liberatey in which direction duty points-to Rich
mond, or Baltimore.
From the Montgomery (AIa) Mail, May 81
The Southern members who adhered to the Ma
tiOnal Convention, after a majority of their
bTetHeTH III Tue DOulu ndu SeCeutu, VIII we
should think, meet cordial reception at the hands
of their several constituencies. What was left in
that rotten old hulk, to retain men whose hearts
were really true to the South and her institutions
we are at a loss to conceive. The only principle
for which our section had contended-the right to
enter and be protected in the territores-had been
decided against us. There remained nothing, fol
which Southern patriot could contend. There
were left only the odous exclusion platform ant
| the "spoils."
| From the Columbia IS C. Herald May 81
For the first time during all our political strug
chile. The issne ;s 81 last fairly and d;st;ncti,
presented, and the North and the South ar,
brought face to face to decide it. That decision
OF course involves the destiny of the present fede
raj Union of the States, and it is to be hoped tha
those who have to make it will feel the full weigh
of the responsibility thrown upon them. =

The WESTERN EDTTORs.-The visiting editors from
the West who arrived in Washington Yesterday
morning, numbered with the ladies in attendance
about three hundred. For the sake of convenient
ly visiting the several objects of interest in and
about the city, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, whose guests they are, provided some
twenty omnibuses, by which the strangers were
conveyed from point to point. The Capitol, the
Post and Patent Offices, the Smithsonian lnstitu-
tiOn, the Presidential mansion, and Government
offices, the equestrian statues of Washington and
jackson, were among the objects visited. The
party generally represent themselves highly pleased
with their expedition, and our city and belongings
seem to have exceeded rather than fallen short of
the expectations of those among them who came
hther yesterday for the first time. The trip to and
from Mount Vernon in the afternoon was delight
full, and without any irregularity discomfort of
any description, and will evidently be long and
pleasantly remembered by not few. On the
turn some speeches were made by several of the
visiting party, and also by some honorable mem
bers of the National Legislature who had accom-
panied the party in their pilgrimage to the tomb
of the Father of his Country. Among these we
heard the names of the Hon. Messrs. Ashmore of
South Carolina, Gilmer of North Carolina, and
Curtis, of Iowa. Resolutions complimentary to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company were also
passed. The party returned to the city, arriving
at about o'cock.-Nationdt htelhgencer, Nay 8.

At Cambridge, Barnesvie, and other points, the
citizens assembled together in the streets and pray
ed for a safe deliverance from the destined fate
which seemed impending. Probably the most sin
gular. feature of the event. long to be remembered
by those who and felt it, was the falling of
what is supposed to be meteoric stones in various
portions of that locality. Four large stones
weighing from forty to sixty pounds each, fell on
or near the track of the Central Ohio Railroad,
near Concord, burying themselves in the ground
about two feet, while at Claysville, southeast of
Cambridge, and other portions of the country,
stones of the same quality, but in greater quant-
ties, fell to the earth.''

ANOTHER POLAR EXPEDITToN.-A zeal for polar
discoveries seems to be awakening itself in other
parts of the world besides this country, so that
more than one nation may yet have its vessels in
the Arctic Sea this summer struggling to reach the
long sought for pole. The Swedish government
has just resolved to tit out scientific expedition
for the polar seas, to be placed under the command
OF Herr Torrell, who has already distinguished him
sell by previous researches in the northerv parts
of his own country. The expedition sets out du-
ring the present month of May and will concentrate
at Spitzbergen. 1t is well to make the attempt to
reach the north pole from different points, as it
more generally happens that when the great in
barrier to the north of the American continent is
impassable, 1t Is open north of Europe. We
have no doubt there are seasons when vessels may
easily sail through the floating ice which. during
the summer, comes down from the pole, in which
event they would be able, with an open sea beyond
to reach the mysterious pole in few days.
