THE DELEG ATES TO CHARLESTON
Whatever may be the action of the Charleston
Convention in selecting between the two setts of
Delegates that are to be sent by the States which
have chosen double delegations it is matter Of
vast Importance to them to examine which they
shall accept and which reject. There is ques-
ton in mind as to the course which ought to be
pursued by the Convention in relation to the
"Hards' and "Softs' of New York. The soft demo-
Gratis of heNorth have always been and still are an
incubus upon the party, being a handful in
the party proper, they have always held the balance
of power, and in this way they have held and do
now hold the federal offices and emoluments. This
should not be countenanced. The democratic par
ty North not always allow a feeble minority TO
rule.
The softS have always been in the minority North,
and the late election in New York where Fern ando

restrained and ungovcrnable will of the people proves
beyond the shadow of doubt, that Tammany the
soft democracy, not entitled to that prominence
which has been too often accorded to them We
