TIE Democratic Press on the Charles.
ton Convention.

There are a large number of democratic
editors at Charleston. who are sending to
their respective presses their impressions of
the Convention and its proceedings As
means of getting at the real democratic senti-
meut. we shall read those impressions. and
transfer the salient points TO our own col
umns for the information of our readers. We
commence with the Editorial Correspon-
dencem OF the Atlanta Lnteuigencr, promi-
nent organ in Northern and Western Geor-
u;a. In his letter of the 2lst, the editor thus
r .fers, italics and caps, to the conflicting
Gains of the New York delegations
.sThe question of the contested seats Of the
Nav York delegations is exciting consider
able interest. Fernando Wood is here with
full delegation elected by districts, aud COM
Jug directly from the people. They are all

will have the justice to admit them. As
raid but few days since il regularity is to be
the criterion by which the Free Sell Tamma-
ny delegation is TO be judged. where was the

wire-puIling, log-rolling, and chicanery at
work here among the Douglasiles, that

are TO be judged. Ii would be a crying in
and shaInr on the part OF the South. to place
the Tammany delegation in the Convention.
But there il no telling what is to be tie re-
suit"
1t appears from the result" us announc-
ed by telegraph, that the "log-rolling aud
chica1ery" did the work aud the "free-sOil
Tammsny delegation" were triumphant by
large odds
In his letter Of the 22nd, the editor thus
refers to the movements Of the fire-eaters:
.sOne of the most important tif not nSe most

the delegates, WAS the action of the Southern
delegations last night. An informal meeting
was gotten up in the evening, comprising

too except those Of Virginia, North CARROLL
ma, Missouri aud Tennessee, OF which meet
lag Hon. VIM. l.. Yancy, of Aiabami, WAS
appointed Chairman, and free expression

Some Of the North Carolina delegates b.
ing incensed at the slight conveyed by their
non .inyiiation the editor proceeds TO explain
that '.all the Southern delegates that could
by got al were invited" aud ''none of the
delegates of the States excepted could he

signed for their abseoce. The editor again
refers 90 the New York coatesting delega-
tions rs follows:
