The impending Political Revolution In
the Southern States.
The reckless Southern radical disorgan-
zers oil The Democratic party al Charleston
have achieved more than they bargained for
IN the revolutionary dissolution of their ma
'ional organization. They have not only
Frustrated the Northern democracy, but
hey have Precipitated political reaction
IN the South, which promises even during
Ibis extraordinary campaign, TO work out d
great political revolution in that section.
From the divisions among the democracy
in Virginia. apparently beyond remedy,
from the astonishing forward movement Of
the constitutional Union party in North
Carolina, from the crushing defes, of the
Breckenridge democracy in the late Ken
lucky election, from the irrebsrsbs spill,
in the democratic camp in Missouri, i, is
now highly probable, If not mortaly certain
that Bell and Everett, in November will
carry Delaware, Maryland. Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mis-

aloof and act hereafter as section to them

their more powerful sister slave State afore-
SAID, whose great staples are not cotton, su-
gar and rice, but wheat, Indian corn, hemp
and Tobacco. That the democratic leaders
Of. "the cotton States" are prepared TO make
their northern boundary the northern line
Of the cotton zone are more devoted TO the
advantage, of the Union than 10 the specu-
lative millennium OF Southern confederacy
is equally evident from their refusal to Sc
cede at Charleston.
Had Mr.. Yancsy and his radical South
ern associates at Charleston remained in
the Convention. they could no. only have
prevented the nomination oil Mr.. Douglas,
but they could have secured the nomination
OF ticket competent 10 reuni,e the broken
fragments Of the party and 10 carry the
election. But Mr.. Yancey and his radical
associates were frightened by the vote Of
New York for the Dougla, platform, when
the fact is that, until pushed into a corner
by the terrible adrents at Baltimore, the
New York delegation were ready for al
most anything whereby they might secure
the democratic right arm Of the South 10
help them to another share Of The federal

How stands the matter now? The South.

refuse to follow either Of the two cla.hing
factions OF The party in the. work of this
campaign. The conservative n.jori,ies of
the people Of those States are turning over
their sutIrages to this new constitutional
Union party. Thus. while The rival Brock

the reunited democracy, il is very prubs-

more impress itself upon the independent
conservative classes Of the North, financial

these late Southern elections are investipa-
ted, there is still prospect Of Northern
conservative reaction which may spoil the
calculations of the republican party. The
fact is established that the South is not, at
all hazards unit against The North, but
that she is still ready TO join hand. with the
North upon great national and Union ideas.
This should. and perhaps will, operate in
our conservative Northern commercial and
manufacturing States to bring abou. pow
