THE SEcEDERs The friends here of
the seceders at Charleston openly avow
their policy to be that Of throwing the
election into the House by running three
or four tickets. Once there, they count
on fifteen Southern States together with
California and Oregon, to elect their
man. This plan involves keeping out
Kansas till the next session, which thew
have the power to do through the Sen
ate.
The present Administration still paws
an occasional political debt. Linus s.

The Seeding delegates of the Charles
ton Convention have adjourned to meet
at Richmond on the Second Monday,
(the III lsy,) ofJune. TER purpose
seems t. oe to get near enough to the
Regulars to exercise an unhealthy influ
ence on their action, without appearing
to compromise their own dignity by ad
journlng TO the same place aud time with
them Meantime all sorts of bargains,
combinations and couspiracies may be
looked for The anti Douglas faction
have now the advantage Of knowing cx-
actly the strength Of their adversary and
the place where he can be most effectu,
ally weakened. The Squatter Sovereigns,
Oh the other hand, have asccrtained that
it was not 10 the cards to nominate their
man in fifty.seven ballots, or to come
anywhere near it. They have also dis
covered that it takes something besides
wind work to make a candidate for the
Presidency. Perhaps they will make
good use Of these two important acquisi-
tions to their stock of information.

A Good Moral Lesson.
from the Chicago Press and Tribune. !

An intelligent gentleman, just from
Washington, informs US that he was ia.
vored with the company Of . considerable
squad of Douglas blowers and strikers,
fresh from Charleston, who, their money
having len all spent for that which was
not bread, we're en- route for their homes
in various parts of the Northw st. He
says he never heard so much hearty pro
family issue from the same number Of
swearers in a given time, during the
whole term Of his existence. Stopping
at various stations On the Baltimore aud
Ohio Railroad, they got out Of the cars
and cursed the South with al the oaths
In the dictionary. At Ha'per's Ferry
they all seemed to smell blood s:"ultan
lousy, for they stepped out upon the
platform of the Railroad station and gave
vent tc the most hideous blaspheny ever
heard in the Old Dominion. A tall man,
hailing from Chicago, made himself very
CONSPICUOUS 10 the heavy business He
cursed all the slave states separately and
by name. damned them together in
lump. He consigned Old Buck to per
di,on, and polished off the whole casa-
loyue of Southern Senators, Representa-
,ives, Delegates and politician. With
birthstone phraseology, of which be seen-
ed to have more than tropical profusien
at his tongues end. 1t was seriously
appreh-uded by persons in the train that
h. would BIZ arrested before he should

Brown.
On inquiry our informant learned that
the excited gentleman had not been we'll
treated at Charleston. Added to the
natural grief which attended the failure
of their champion in the Convention, it
appeared that the chivalry of South Car,
oI'na. Aisbama, Louisiana, etc, had taken

body servants, f. only to clean mas.a-

We trust the persons who took in thi

more, but the mass Of opinion is, that
the adjournment, though carried mainly
by the friends of Douglas, to save him
from immediate defeat, has only put of
the evil day, aud that the invention on
re .assembling-if it does re.ssssmble, Of
which some serious doubts are expressed
will in no event make nomination 90
entirely distas.eful to large portion Of
the Democratic party. The friends Of
the Little Giant, though they talk large,
are evidently very much under the
weather, and look decidedly blue,
especially those who stsked their small
change on his nomination ut Charleston.
Douglas himself keeps stiff upper lip,
and is far from abandoning all hope -
He will fight desperately to secure the
election il Southern States Of delegates
devoted to himself, from those districts
which have been left unrepresented by
tho withdrawal Of the delegates.
The scheme is full of danger, rs it
will increase the enlnity with which the
South now regards him. The most con-
sentative men Of the North who have
heretofore been friendly to his preten-
sious, will now abandon him, on the score
Of unavaiability, and will look around
for some one who will unite all factions
Of the party, and stand fair chance Of
success.
The COnstst"fion Of to-day boots at
the idea that the Democracy will longer
suffer themselves to be distracted by
the ambitious intrigues Of one man, and
intimates that he must be thrown over
board.

Convention spent about week trying to
find out what the Democratic principles

resolutions which the Democratic States
would not agree to and majority Of the
Democratic States withdrew from the

The Cedar Democrat complains that
I" the Republicans charge the Democrats
with being disunionists' and feeling
that the charge is too true, 1t does not
attempt to deny it 10 the ordinary accep
ta.ion of the tern 1isnaionts', but pro
cccds to give US a new definition of the
word as follows: 1--WE understand dis
uuionist to be one who desires to dis
"soIyc the union Of the States r'thouf
"any Just cause nhatcrer.' As every
one has u right to Judge for himself
whether there is any 'just cause, there
are no disunonists, it the above defn'-
ton Is correct, for even VIM. l.. Garrl-
son has what he claims to be Just
cause" for desiring a dissolution Of the
lnion We submit that the words
which We have ifaliciscd in the Demo-
Gratis definition entirely change the
meaning of the term "disunioni-t' and
implies an admission that the charge of
the Republicans is true. Had we time,
we nigh, quote from prominent Demo
cratic statesmen to show that the North
ern Democracy arc worse than the Re
publicans, but since the Democrats from
the Democratic States do not recognize
the Iowa Democracy as Democrats we
