himself stronger than any one OF his COM
petitors. ard all of them combined, he ought

Convention In this condition of things bis
friends are mOdestly asked to withdraw him
to accommodate the most reckless and un-
scrnpuiOus opposition that ever was arrayed
against a man. His friends, the delegates,
cant be so accommodating, and the people
at home will be much less accommodating
than the delegates.
We are even less disposed to concede any
thing now than ever.
This is another inkling of the spirit which
will prevail at Baltimore. The internecine
war which broke out at Charleston will be
reopened and prosecuted there with fury in
tensified by the accumulated hatred of forty
six days abstinence from hostilities. There
fs no escape from il. Faction rules. The
few demand the power. and the many cannot

The War on Douglas to be Con.


Occasional" the Washington correspon-
dent of Forney's Press, says in his letter of
the Bird inst:
1.-The contest before the meeting of the
play. 1t will enlist all the talent and all
the energies of the friends of free govern
ment 1t may end in the defeat of the de-
mocracy, but il will elevate principle, and
will compel every party to put forward its
best men, and to deal frankly with the great
American constituencies. The Administra-
ton aud the fr--eaters are resolved upon the
destruction of Douglas. hear of their de-
nunciations already. There is no quarter
shown him or any of his friends. He is to
be offered up as a sacrifice, and they are to be
hunted out of public life. The fact is. no
Northern man who dares to differ from the
rO-slavery leaders can ever hope to regain
their confidence. lie IS foredOOHled, and HlS
JorevT."
The same feeling seems TO pervade the
anti-Douglas press in the South. But his
Northern supporters stick the closer to their
man. The action of his friends in the
Charleston Convention, in standing firmly
and defiantly up to him against all opposi-
ton, is greatly applauded in the Northwest,
and it appears to be the determination to do
the same again at Baltimore. So that we
can see no better prospect of nomination
at the meeting of the 18th of June than was
realized at Charleston.
Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1860-05-09

CONTINUED OPPOSITION TO DouGLAs.-The
Washington Constitution of the 4th, sounds the
key mote. for the instruction of the Admih.s-
tration forces. of continued opposition TO the
nomination OF Senator Douglas. It says:
One thing, nevertheless, seems 70 be very
decisivsly deiermined-naBely, that the per-
son whose pertinacioGs parfisaas have caused
ell the difficulty at Charleston cannot posi-
bly, be nominated fer the presidency as III
candidate of National Democratic C0nven-
ton. We need not now go into the reasons
for this coRTfc ion, which every clear-beaded
man must possess, whether it is agreeable to
his w7ESes or not
We shall not suggest what patriotism. what
magnanisniiy, what party fideliiy--nay, what
an enlightened and sagaciOus self-inserest
dictates TO that pei son, because our motiyet
would be misconstrued by scbemug parti
sans, who care not for their party nor Tor the
country.
Now. is not this truly democratic idea.
The favorite of the majority "cannot possibly
be nominated" because his friends pertina-
ciously support him. He must be thrust
aside for Mr.. GUTHEIE and bis faction OF
thirty five and half; or Mr.. HUNTER and his
faction of forty-two; or Mr. LANE and hi
faction of six or Mr.. JOHNSON and bis faction
of dozen or Mr.. DICKINSON and his faction
of seven /; or Mr.. DAVIS and his faction of one
aud half; or Mr.. PEARCE and his faction of
one or Mr.. TouCEY and bis faction of two
and a half. OF truth are the Administra-
tion and the enemies of DOUGLAS .'mad"-
and ought to be placed in straight jackets

Disunfon at the Bottom Of Il.

The Seceders from the Charleston Convex
ton profess to have been governed by devo-
tion to principle. We are satisfied, however,
that this is a mere pretense, and that they
are really laboring to effect an overthrow OF
the Union. In one breath they declare that
the election of black republican TO the Pres
idency would be sufficient cause for disso-
luton of the Union, and in the next that the
democratic party is the only party which can
defeat the republicans. And then they go
TO work, and do all they eau to break up the
democratic party, and assure the triumph OF
Republicanism. The leader of the Seceders
is Mr.. YANCEY, of Alabama Although, in
tie Convention he disavowed disuniOnism,
in a speech on the night of the 30th uit., to
q party of individuals who paraded the
streets of Charleston, and called out a num-
Der of speakers, he disclosed the "clOyen
hoof- The editor of the Cincinnati CONNER
eial, who was present. makes mention OF Mr.
YASCEY's speech as follows
Mr.. Yancey appeared, and was proud and
happy to see the South taking so proud
position in favor of her Constitutional rights
to form the Constitutional Democratic Con-
ventiOn" and the delegates who rem lined, as
composing The 'Rump Convention" He said
this Rnmp Convention would speedily no in
fct Sectional Convention, and would re-
present only faction OF the free soil senti-
ment of the North. He said the South must
come up as unit. and vindicate it, COnsIitu-
tioual rights. Every ultra sentiment was APP
plauded with mad enthusiasm. Idncey sGid
that perhaps The pen Of tis historian toas
nib6ei 10 tcriis the story Of neto ReUOiuaiOn. AT
this some one in the crowd cried "three
cheers for the Independent Southern Repub-
lic." They were given with will.
Mr. YANCEY made a mistake. He might
have been nearer the truth, if he had said
that perhaps even now the pen of the histo
rian Was niLbed TO write the story of the
crushing out of disunion treason and traitors
by the people of the South in whose midst
they dare plot against the Uniou." He, and
RHETr. aud their fellOw-cOnspiraiors, may
go on plotting disunion under pretense Of
zealously laboring TO secure a full and ample
recognition Of the rights of the South, but
they will discover when they think the South
ripe and raise the mask which covers their
real purposrs. that there are stout hearts
and strong arms enoughin the South, opposed
to their treason, to crush them out forever.
The great masses Of the South are uncor-
rupted aud incorrupsible By them.
