awful, the alarming life and death struggle Of Tho
South for the Speaker we cannot this dead
Southern calm and collapse which have succeeded What
does II all mean
Yesterday morning, pending the stupid discussion in
the House Mormon poly gamy, all these questions were
strictly in order but yesterday afternoon when the Rev
Mr. Loveoy began 10 stir the wtches cauldron tho
niger question, and to make It,
Lihe hell broth, boil and bubble,
the most skeptca ooker here in Verona would have
been satisfied that before the almighty niger in the South
the next President Of the United States dwindles into
| mere pgmy, man Of straw, the hope only Of . few
needy sposmen in the South the paramount question
The Southern fires Of agitation not extnguished
They are only sumberipg They are like those volcanic
silent but it is You advance to The top you look
into the little crater; you see nothing. Yon cast in
| stone, and instantly you hear rumbling; the
| earth shakes under your feet; olosion
follows and shower Of stones and ashes thrown up
INTO the air. and fly from the scene in double quick
time So il here among these Southern volcanic ele-
ments Congress With the election of the Speaker they
relapsed into silence and apparent submission. They
have since the expression and have borne
themselves like party subdued and disposed bend
their necks TO circumstances And the republicans have
demineeIed il over them like verabls masters Watch
ing these things we have felt ashamed Of our late fears
Of disupon and civil war we have felt as man may
feel who, pluming himself upon his ssgacity, taken in
by patent cafe trick or q thimble rRger.
Even this reaction OF opinion have been mistaken.
The Southern ee nep have not capuated 81 discretion.
They have not absolutely abandoned the South for The
spols They will no: leave their nggers and trust luck
10 the spos Of the succession. They regard the
Union valuable only SO far az . safeguard 70 their
slave property and slavery institutions They have
hope Of the Charleston Conventon-some hope Of man
Of compromise, North and South. They are wait
ing on for this hope On lair ticket and platform they
are ready even the most Southern ultra men, dght with
the Northern democracy side by sde for the victory
French and sardnaDs fought through their late sen
did Italian campaign. But the South will have definite
understanding at Charleston, they will break the
| dpmocrstic party.
The Douglas men Of this. They fear that,
should they be able compass the nomination their
champion the secession from ticket right wing
Of the party all the cotton States will leave him and the
70 crushing asisa and So in the rs :, N sal
cgaes in the Convention pledge to support the nominee
This will dispose Of the suspicion that the Douglas party
are contemplating . bolt, and II will also bring those
Southern delegates 70 the mark who have fatty threa-
tened TO bolt should Douglas be nominated
One OF the most conspicuous OF these Southern gentle
men, who has declared that in event will he support
Mr.. Douglas for the next Presidency, Senator Clay,
senate democratic caucus asca..ons Of string
Of resolutions on the slavery question leveled At
Mr. Douglas and squaaer sovereignty Cordially

Green and decisive majority, not only Of the party but
the discussion Of the resolutions in the Senate mo
intention Of the friends Of these squaser sovereignty
resolutions is to brog them TO vote, in order that tho
Northern wing Of the Charleston Convention may have an
authoritative preston of Southern guide
them in the first and decisive business Of tho CoAven
/ Hon-the platform.
Among the projects Of the national Union or third par
y element is h-hat the south shall permit Douglas 70
be nominated at Charleston that the cotton States shall
bolt and tet up an independent Southern democratic tick
Ct Thus Douglas will besrengthened in the North, and
thus the election be thrown into the House, when,
between Douglas and the Southern democrat, there will
be no difficulty in swampiDg the republicans But this
project too smoky for serious consideration We only
mention as OF the many expedens OF this third
party TO cut in and cut out the republicans
party conventions With extreme drrust While he y.d
South Carolina would have nothing authorAtively
with them Els dsgust is still entertained by very large
proportion OF bis South Carolina parsans and hence tho
offensive terms in which the anticipated descent Of the
venous spoilsmen wolves and ackals Of the democracy
upon Charleston has been commented upon by the
papers Of that city The moral effect OF this state

members and camp followers Of Convention ~ their

half the population Of Charleston slaves that they

and obedience extends to all the family business affairs Of
the community. Let Northern strangers, attending tho
Convention respect these harmonious relations between
the two races Of that city and visitors there will NO
complaint 70 make OF Charleston inhospiality.
The Union party managers have been Adonahed that
