The Two DenocF1ric Conventions.


The sectional Democracy will soon re-enaet
the irrepressible conflict at Richmond ssd
Baltimore. The Richmond Secessionists VIII
be small in numbers, but probably plucky.-
We do not see any considerable movement
making to have full representation of the
South in attendance, and the whole thing
looks very much like fash in the pan, and
small fash at that. A portion Of the bolt
ers at Charleston intend to nap for admission
at Baltimore, though it is stated that South
Carolina win not whatever other States
which seeded may do. Mr.. Perry, who de-
elined to withdraw his delegation at Charles
ton, has written to Washington that he will
have no more connection with the Conven-
ton, and abandons the Democracy to its fate.
In Georgia warm struggle Is going on
between the secessionists and anti-secession-
lists, State Convention having been called
on the 4th Of June to take the two COnveD-
ton matters into consideration. The indica-
tons are that the snti-secessionists viii carry
the day, and that delegates viii be sent to
Baltimore only.
call for q State Convention in Alabama
the 4th Of June has also been issued, (" to con-
slider what is best to be DONE Certain citi-
zens Of the State have called another conyen-
ton on the same day, to appoint delegates to
fI the seats left vacant BY the secession Of
the Alabama delegates at Charleston. As in
Georgia, very unRmiable state of feeling
exists between the seceders and the antics
The seeedeEs evidently have the upper hand
in Alabama, and the only chance for the
Dosgiasitss is independent action.
In Louisiana the old State Convention is to
re-assemble on the 4th of June, under call Of
the Democratic State Central COMMITTEES, to
II Z consider what Is to bedone at Richmond and
Baltimore The party is 50 split up, that two
other socalled State Conventions are to be held.
One is TO be held the eth Of June by order Of
the Central State Rights Club Pierre
SOule President, 70 elect new delegation to
represent the Democracy of Louisiana at Bal
timore. The other the 9Th of June, under the
call ofthe Louisiana Democratic Association, ?
- George A. Fosdick, President The object is
also to elect delegates to represent the State at
Baltimore. So it is probable that three sets of
delegates from Louisisun win claim seats at
Rsltimore, two ofthem with Douglas prOcliy-
ties. ~
~ The Mississippi Democracy are to hold a
State Convention May sOth. It isstated that
the conduct Of the seeeders win be approved,
and such -delegates ss It may elect win be
authorized to attend both at Baltimore and
Richmond.
The Baltimore Convention will be largely
attended BY Douglas outsiders from the Free
States, and the pressure tosecure the nomina-
ton Of the Little Giant viii much exceed
that at Charleston. The Railroads have adopt
ed halEares, and the 18th Of June will see
the Monumental City crowded with ardent
p politicians There WIN be vitality in the
- Baltimore movement however dead may be
the Richmond.
The Douglas men in the seeding ststesare
Z moving forward with great zeal in getting up
a fdl quota Of delegates, and it is asserted
that President Cushing viii dissolve the Con
yentiOn If they are admitted. Hot weather
and hot times are in reserve, and 1--WE shall
