ming fost, a Black Republican Journal shows the
light in which the conduct Of the Southern wing
Of the Democracy is regarded. We do not exact

Post. believing that there are southern members
Of the Democratic party who were convened in
council at Richmond last week. who will not sub.

Douglas is to be the standard bearer OF the party.
Aud yet. We have no doubt that many of the
Northern delegates to the Batimre Convention,
believing with the Post. that the action of the
Southern wing Of the party is all "blustcr," and
that they will ultimately decide on tho policy Of
submission." will be induced to persist in their
determination to nominate Douglas. and thus d.
vide the party. The truth IL, we can scarcely
comprehend how these gentlemen who deliberate

bumbly ask to be received into nm adjourned meet

what sort Of fight will the party bc able to
make in the South, and what policy can it pursue
except that Of unconditional Submission On tho
one hand. or rebellion, and tho nomination OF an
independent candidate ON tho other. This latter
course will be pursued by the $ Athern wing of
the party, we think There is no earthly chance
that we perceive for uuion at Baltimore
But without further comment, we submit the views
Of the Post
The seceders assembled Mt Richmond the other
day they took counsel together. and their re.
sentiment evaporated. So intense is their love for
their northern brethren. that they no lon ger
remain apart from them. The social instinct
prevails over everything else. and the seceders are
going back TO the Convention from which they
had separated. They canrot be happy but in tho
society Of John Cochrane of New York, nad Is. T.
Butler Of Massachusetts, and Mr.. Richardson OF
Illinois, and No they resume their old fratcrnnl
relations with those men, md are to re enter the
Convention The Convention will doubtless recc-
i've them with open arms, since thee is no way Of
keeping them out.

part of the southern states to attempt dissolution
OF the Union. hcre was al opportunity to make

the different states Of our republic were rcpres.

this body should recognise their right to the pro.
lection Of slave property in the territories The
northern delegates refused to admit this propo-
sition, and voted it down. The Republican purity,
if it obtain the power, will do the same thing Ii
the South submits to this from the democratic
party, is must, of course, endure it quietly from
the Republican party, from which nothing better
is expected
To the surprise of some who do not know how
little danger ihero is that the threats Of disuniou
which we have heard from the South will ever be
put IN execution, the ultra southern party dccid,
the policy Of submission. Finding that all thei,
bluster and all their parade OF separate counsels
and separate action avail nothing and that tn,
northern delegates, in concert with q consider
able number of those from the southern states, arr
going on precisely as il no secession had taker
place, they put up with the rebuff they have re
ceived and ask to be received again into full
fellowship with the partisans OF Douglas.
