The object of the adjournment of the
Charleston Convention to Baltimore was
doubtless. TO escape the ..impending crisis
which all saw and acknowledged. But it
will not avail. The difficulties adjonrned at
Charleston wiz be augmented at Baltimore.

from it. As an indication of the spirit which
will prevail at Baltimore, we lay before the
reader an extract from the Louisville Courier.

From the Louisville Courier, Gay sss.
The Charleston Convention. as will be seen
by our dispatches, adjourned yesterday. Il
met. on the 23d of April. and broke up on tb'
Sd of May. having had a session of eleven

The history of the Charleston Convention
shows that the South will not lake Douglas
on the platform proposed by the Squatter
SOvereIgns. Every attempt to force Doug
las on the party at the South will meet with
a. determined RESISTANCE as was manifest,
at Charleston. The Little Giant has been
denounced N every State and in every cOun
ty ia every State in the South, and TO at
tempt now TO force him on the party OF the
South Is absolute madness Such persistent
ffor;s to make the South take an obnoxious
man is an insult 10 our people, and we ex.
poet TO see such NOV, IN mt, if again luau-
gura;ed, rebIked as it deserves. Ii the thing
is persisted in again. we believe that the
Southern States which seeded from the Con-
yeniiOn at Charleston, will be joined by all
their sisters If the South; and this being
done, we have no doubt that portion oil the
North will sympathiZe and follow suit.
There is no telling what the Baltimore
Convention will de-. OF one thug, however
we ar. coufident-it will not nominate
Douglas. Ii dare not nominate the Little
Giant after what was experienced at Charles
ton. 1t would seem that the adjournment OF
the Convention from Charleston TO BaItim, r.
was "a Douglas move to disguise the defeat
Of the Little Giant, bat even if it Was, it
was only delaying the day of his death. Hi-
friends had \, we'll have let him die at
Charl stpn, for be will have to die al Baltl-
mote. There will be too many patriots, we
trust at Baltimore on the 18th of June TO
kill the Democratic party tor the purpose oi
saving Douglas. The least of tue Two evils
will be chosen. and Douglas will be slain and
the party saved. 10 think of any otter r,-
suit is To attribute to the delegates who will
go to Baltimore madness more malignant
than the halluciuation which attended them
al Charleston.
