Object Ofthe Proposed Democratic Convention.
The object of the proposed Democratic Convention in
Virginia Is palpable enough. Il is movement origna-
ting with Breckenridge Secedes and intended to
trap the Douglas men Of the State into the support Of
the YAncey Disunion ticket We say Yancey Disunion
teket-or whatever may be the feelings and purposes
OF the Virginia Seceders and the Seeeders from other
border savehodipg States il perfectly demons,rable
hat the object OF the Seceders in the Gull States with
Yaneey their head is TO bring about dissolution Of
the Union at the earliest practicable moment Yancey
and bis Gull State Seeding followers may disavow and
Disguise the fact often and emphateay they please
but those who are all acquainted with Yanceys ante
edens ard with the views of his disciples necessar
" forced to the conclusion that Dis non the one great
object Of al their efforts and ell their political
euts Not one Of them but knows there IS earthly
hope Of he election of Breckenridge and there
one of them who does in bis heart desire the election
Of Lincoln believing that the election Of the Black Repub
can candidate can be made plausible pretCxt for piecI
i,atng the Cotton States into revolution" That is the
idea and hope Of Yaneey and the Gull State Seeeders
and they expect too be able carry with them their
Seeding sympathzers in Virgin. and the other border
slaveholdiug States. And invoke the early and
% this Yaneey DsuaiOnsProgrAmme.
We repeat that the object of the Virginia seceders in
e,Ing STATE Conventior is to form headed
electoral ticket 10 be voted for By both the Breckenridge
and the Doucas men, the result Of which tactics will in
evtably result according 70 their belief in giving the
entire electoral vote Of the State Brsekinrdge, and
thereby utterly exclude DOusls practically, from the
contest IN Virginia We hear indeed. that some Of the
Seeding delegates 70 Baltimore from Virginia have al
rdvprocamed this 10 be substantially the object Of the
Dronosed State Convention. We learn that alameda
Court House on Thursday last Mr.. Ls~s L Harvey,
of the Seeding delegates made speech to his constt
ueus and boldly and brave that the Seceders
meant to 'cu OF the heads" Of the DOugasites in VIZ
n. if they refused to abide the decision Of the forth
coming Convention The SeeedeTs expect and with good
s..ou no doubt to have control of the Convention and
having such control they TO require the Douglas
men 20 accent their programme or in the event Of the
pougasites refusing to accept to eEeommuncae them
frosl the Democratic Church. We understand that Mr.
H,rvev was specially severe the other day In his denun
eSu Of DOogas and bis friends, obviously evideneDg
n dApositiOn TO show them no quarter whateve..
Wke.her the DouGLAs men will easily fall into the
smaap being prepared for them by the seceders, re-
mains 20 be seen. n not mistaken IN our judg
ens of the stuff Of which they made the seeeders
Win gnay fail in their efforts TO circumvent and entraP
them. For the DOueLls men here in Virginia indeed,
40 abandon their ground as members Of the Regular Ma
tiona Democratic organization and submit to the wishes
or the eaton Of he seeeders who are mere members
Of Sectional em6erAiie faction would be to commit
political suicide aud ignore tie obligations OF personal
honor This being So entirely certain that the
seeeders have reckOned without their hOst IN suPPosng
that they can ssher wheedIe OF drive the DOrGLAs men
Of Virginia irto the support Of the IrregSArfsneey-
DsuuiOn ticket Those delegates from Virginia, Who re
fused to seceds and Who remained in the Regular Con-
n lion that nominated Douglas bound in honor and
