South would have been safe, aud in support of

Qapizers had to adjourn the Conveatioa to
save themselves from defeat by the national
men who remained true to their duty In that

BY this act the Southern sectionalists have
received their death blow, and it now only re
mains for The Baltimore Convention to meet
and oct in consonsoce with the impulses of q
rational sentiment and true patriotism, to
give the coap de grace to Northern sectional
ism and poliucsl abolitionism. The personal
contests Of the political leaders have continued

hoetile efforts against each other have brought
the country into such o critical position, and
given en- opportunity to base and hackster-

1t was this personal contest that gave ths
Albany Regency sn opportunity to perpetuste
its own base existence. by making secret and
corrupt bargains with all Of the parties, aud
then by cheating all to make itself appsren,ly
