From the NeU York Herald.
The halfbreed abolitionism that was en-
gendered at Buffalo in 1848 has eliminated at
Charleston, and, by driving the Southern
States into a separate party organization, has
cut its own throat and that of all its kindred
fallacies A desperate determination on the
part Of the same free-soil policy that defeated
the election of General Cass, and the triumph
of its party twelve years ago, to rulethe party
has resulted in its ruin, and the burial will be
conceded by the people. A set of delegates
from the Northern States that could not and
can not now count on one electoral vote for
their candidate determined to force his NOM
ination on those States upon whose votes he
must principally rely for election, and they
have succeeded in driving out of the Conven-
ton nearly, if not quite all the representatives
of Democratic majorities.

Or One of the editors of the Memphis
Appeal writing to that paper from Charleston
says:
The late exposure by Walker Of Buchanan's
double dealing in reference to affairs in Kan

which has, however, led to no particular re-
suit. A returning sense Of justice will ulti-
mately yindicate the Illinois Senator, and hold
him mp to the world as the great champion
of popular government.
We copy this paragraph simply that the
politics of the Appeal may be better under

The issue is now distinctly made. The
Southern Democratic Convention has adj
iourned to meet at Richmond on the second
Monday of June, and invites all the States
of the Union to send delegates. In this the
Southern delegations have acted wisely. Al
though there can he no donbt that their posit-
ion will be sustained by an overwhelming ma
jority of the party in their own States, and
although it is equally certain that those States
would cast their electoral votes for any can
didate representing the principles upon which
the movement is based, it is advisable, if posi-
be- to unite the whole South in resistance to
the attempt of the Northern Squatter Sover-
ereignty men to take possession Of the Demo-
cratic organization and to subvert its forms
and its discipline to thee own sectional and
heretical purposes.
By the time the Richmond Convention
meets, public opinion in those Southern States
whose delegates failed to participate in the
Constitutional State Rights movement, will
have declared itself with sufficient emphasis
to admit of no misconstruction The true
Democratic sentiment Of those States will
have crystalized into compact and lucid FORMS
The issue will be distinctly made between
those who, for the sake of party traditions,
which are now falsifed, are willing to divide
to weaken and destroy the South, and those
who are determined at all hazards TO maintain
the rights of the South, inside or outside of
the Union, inside or outside of national parties.

The Geographic wires never conveyed more
glorious and gratifying intelligence than the
withdrawal of portion Of the Southern dele
gates from the Convention at Charleston.
Demanding the plain constitutional rights of
the South and determined to be satified with
nothing less, they have reflected the true SEN
timents of an overwhelming majority of those
who have confided their honor and their inter
ests into their hands, by withdrawing from
the Convention and refusing to cooperate lon
ger with those who have urged more timorous
counsels, and would have them sacrifice the
dearest and most vital rights Of the constit-
tuents upon the altar Of concession and sub
mission.
