Spirit of the Morning Press.

The Constitution, speaking Of the adjournment
OF the Charleston Convention to Baltimore, while
with It's present stock Of information, retaining
from expressing any opinion on the propriety of
the movement, says:
. One thing, nevertheless, seems to lie very de-
cisively determined, namely that the person
whose pertinacious partisans have caused all the
dlmculty at Charleston cannot possibly be nomi-
na,so Ior the presidency as the candidate Of a
National Democratic Convention \
We believe that the events at Charleston will
awaken such a spirit over the length and breadth
Of the land, among all her hills and valleys as
well as In her crowded cities, that we will all
have occasion to rejoice at any circumstances
which could produce such effects. The voice of
the people viii make itself heard The unity
OF the Democratic party must be maintained will
be their decree F."
