Democratic National COnycn-
ton A Adjourned tO HaIiiuiOTc--
The Prospect before us.
The Democratic National Convention
at Charleston on yesterday morning al
iourned to meet at Baltimore on Monday
the 18th day June next, by vote of l95
yeas to 90 nays,
Under the peculiar circumstances, this
adjournment was wise act. The Con-
vcntion was "dcad lock"--no particular
man seemed to be the choice of suilic-
lent number Of Delegates to nominate him
and the hot spirits, who refused to go into
any compromise except one that would
give them all they asked, will have a
chance to cool down and learn wisdom
hom the outburst of feeling from thcii
constituents.
The time fixed will he after the Aboli-
tion Convention at Chicago, and the I'm
ion Convention at Baltimore. in this
the Democracy have the advantage that
the Republicans sought to gain by post
poning their Convention until after that
of the democracy at Charleston. This
will make the battle quicl, and spirited
one.
Taught wisdom by past dissensions
and by the chuckling of the enemy, wher
the Democracy again meet, we doubt not
the Delegates will lay their personal pre-
diections on the alter of their country.
good, and then first and last and every
question, rs to the candidate, will be, who
is the best man? is he honest, capaJl,
and faithful to the Constitution?
Let all pickering cease, and the Dcmoc
racy again unite. All are now convinced
that the candidate nominated mast he ac-
ceptaIlc to all portions OF the Republic
or else he is not Il national man, and j
not it will be impossible to elect him.
New England, although her Democracy
may not be able to cast for him single
electoral vote, as was the case in 1900
when jefferson was electeI-must have {
candidate on whom her minority may dc
battle for the right, The Middle State'
must have man upon whom the Empire
State and the Keystone State may be en-
abed to go into the field with uniteC

known to be true to the Union and to The
| Constitution, and for him she will cas-
her entire Democratic vote, while the
South, on such candidate, one and indi
visible, will bring her fifteen States into
| line and cast for the nominee her elector
al vote, without a single break, and the
Pacific States-Calitornia and Oregon
the one gained to the Union and the othe
saved by the Democracy-will add THEN
seven electoral votes to the triumph which
awaits the Democratic nominee.
That such man will be nominated a
the adjourned Convention which meets a
Baltimore, we have not even the shadow
of doubt. Whatever was wrong in tn,
Charleston Convention will be rightec
by the constituents Of the Delegates 'rh,
Republicans who expected division
among the Democracy will find tina
"hopc deferred which maketh the hcar
sick" Their Editors and leading mel
belong TO the breed who
"Ncvcr are, but always to be blessed
and if they wait for crush up Of tn
Democratic party to win a triumph, the,
must have a patience almost equal to tn
boy who watched for the sky to fall, tha
he might catch larks. -.Nutjonai Demo
