We have not yet seen the resolutions adopted by
the late Democratic State Convention of Alabama,
but the teegraphc dispatch states that they insist
on Territorial or Congressional protection to slave
ry, and that the delegates instructed to with
draw from the Charleston Convention if the Ala
bama platform should not be adopted.
Now, if the Democracy of Alabama shall go by
their delegates into the Charleston Convention, and
take part in the deliberations of that body, they
will be bound by such action to support the nomi
nee as against black Republican. We deprecate
all tests conditions in advance 1t is the duty of
all good Democrats to look to harmony a: Charles
ton, and not discord. The real difficulties which
threaten US should be sufficient of themselves to
ensure caution, prudence, and patient deberation,
without adding new matter which it may be impos-
sible for our Northern brethren to accept and sus
tain.
We may refer to the subject more at length after
we shall have seen the resolutions.

South-Carolina and Virginia.

On Thursday last Col c. G. Memmingcr the
Commissioner from South Carolina to Virginia, ap-
peared before the Legislature of the latter State in
Richmond, and spoke in explanation of the objects
of his mission fehespace of four hours exhibiting
mtfeH >.s--uod great ability. Yesterday
says the Esquirsr, was day memorable in the
history of Virginia. The Commissioner from the
State of South Carolina to the State of Virginia ad-
dressed both Houses of the Legislature in one of the
abest speeches ever delivered in the House of Dele
gates"
The Enquirer adds:
"AS to the immediate object of the mission and
speech, that Of Conference 6et1ceen the Southern
States, We cannot see how or why any man should
oppose it We do not believe it will be opposed by
any man who not willing TO fall down before the
Union with Seward as its chief The people of Vir-
ginia have already expressed, by public meetings,
their determination not to submit to the election of
Black Republican, and it well becomes the Legis-
lature to accede to this Conference and enable the
Southern States, by interchange of views to de-
eide upon the course of action best and proper for
their adoption. We therefore, most earnestly hope
the proposition of South Carolina will be speedily
acceded to, and Commissioners appointed. We
believe it will be the best means of producing a
favorable effect upon the excited public mind of OBJ
tanning justice for the South, and of securing the
equality and union of the States"

TIE CONDITION OF TIE lIOUSE-0ne of the Wash
ington correspondents of the New York Herald says:
"The galleries arc daily appealed to in general
terms by nfammatory arguments, and often in Ian
guage direct To-day, so loosely was the business
of the House conducted that the members themselves
presented more the appearance of dsorganzed
mob than that of the greatest dcliberativc body
in the world; and under the impulsive retort
of member from Arkansas to the remark of a
member from New York, the galleries, from the
example set them by the members, caught up
the fever of disorder and broke out into the loud
est cheers The Clerk appealed to the people in the
galleries to preserve order, rebuking the House at
the same time for setting the example Unless those
who profess to represent the people can give better
evidence that they are capable of governing them
selves than they have done thus far they had better
not attempt to govern others"
