for President and Vice President Should the
pected from the th-Western delegates. In
any case, therefore, there is some reason to fear
another disruption of the Convention How Sc
riousy such an event would be deplored, it is
scarcely necessary to say. We are unwilling.
however, to believe it TO be inevitable, because we
are unable 10 that there is any insuperabe diff
fculty to be overcome before concord can be re-
stored between the hostile sections. Of course, if
neither side is disposed TO yield anything for the
simple purpose of conciiating its opponents, only
one result can be anticipated and in that case the
sooner it is reached the better But the sacrifices
which it would be requisite for either to make are so
slight that it is hard TO imagine that they will be
refused. The North ought unquestionably to
waive its objections to the return of the seeding
members. 1t may be true that through their for
mer withdrawal from the Convention, the latter
has the right TO declare their seats to have been
vacated. Those who participated in that move
ment may, strictly speaking, be said to have re-
signed or forfeited their places. But why adhere
in a momentous crisis like the present, to so
technical constructions There can be
no doubt about the fact that when they were
originally accredited to Charleston the delegations
which afterwards seeded fairly represented the
Democratic Party of their respective States. Even
if there is ground for supposing that many of their
constituents disapproved of the act which tempo
rarilv severed their connection with the Conven-
ton, we may safely presume that in all other re-
spects they reflect the feelings and sentiments of
those by whom they were appointed. Whether
their course at Charleston was erroneous or not,
they are here now asking to be again incorporated
into the body of which they originally constituted
| a component part We presume them to be sim
cerely DESTROYS for the restoration Of harmony in
| the Convention, and anxious to participate in good
| faith in its future deliberations. They are pos
sessed of the views of the people of their several
districts, and are more likely to present them fair
| ly than the delegations which were so hurredly
| and irregularly selected to suppant them. Under
these circumstances it is both ungenerous and I'M
| Just to insist upon Il narrow and technical con-
struction Of the past acts. To deliberately repu
date everything like concession and Cancellation al
| the present moment is suicidal, and every dele
gate must be conscious of the fact. The first ap-
peal to the Convention that calls for the NANTES
tation of good feeling on its part, is made by the
minority report which is to be presented this morn
ing, and which we most sincerely hope will be
adopted
