SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 1.-THE Democrat
ic Convention met to-day, and elected DEL
egates to the Charleston Convention. The
resolutions adopted affirm the Democratic
doctrine that neither Congress, nor the
Territorial Legislature, has the power to
erclude slavery; but that the people, when
forming State Governments, nave the
right to permit or exclude slavery; that
the principle Of squdtter sorreiynty is caleu-
lated to promote discord, disunion, treason,
and murder as practically illustrated at
Harper's Ferry; and express full conf.
dence in the National Administration, in-
cluding its policy on the slavery question.

The Richmond Enquirer has "thought
better of it, and will now WAIT for nou-
intercourse with the North till the rest of
the South gets ready. 1t says, that. "if
any single State casts itself off from COM
mercial intercourse with the North, it sub
jects its people to Inconvenience and rant
which may be quietly submitted to during
such an excitement as that which at pres
ent exists; but uhen that e.ccitement has

SPIRIT OF THE PREss.-A friend in
the South sends US a number of the Jour
nal of Winchester, Tenn, which illustrates
the temper the Democracy are trying to
arouse in that region. Its first article,
from the Richmond Enquirer, is long ar
gument against any compromises or conces-
sious on the slavery question, but making
ultra Southern demands. Then follows
the ten column speech of the Democratic
Attorney General Of Indiana, trying to
clear from the galIows his brother Demo
crat, Capt. John E. Cook. Then there
are three short articles, which we copy
below, showing that while a Democratic
Harper's Ferry man they would lie. run
free, they would show no mercy to any
man out of the party. Read, and mark
the kind and lovely and brotherly spirit
to all not Of their own stripe!
"WArcu 'En.-The Eutaw (Ala3 Wig
says that among the effects of Beriram Round,
who was generally known in Greene and
Sumpter counties, and who died few weeks
ago in Marengo county, were found three let
iers from Ossawaiomie Brown, marked 'an.
swered' This Round was a peregrinatng
singing master from aboitiondom, and. from
appearances, was an active agent or emissa-
~ Of the men who were at The bottom Of the
Harper's Ferry affair. These singing mas
tiers. book agents, phrenoiqgisfs and clock rers,
will bear watching. Won't they, Pre(essor
Nichols !"
"Old Brown, the rascally insurgenf, was
hung last Friday, al the appointed hour. No
attempt was made 10 rescue him. The 9TH
ers will be hung as their times come. So
mote 1t be. If Seward Fred Douglas, Gid
dings. Hale, Chase, Wendell Philips, and
lew editors North that we could name, could
only be swung up for a few hours, what
shout we'd give! They are worse than
Brown"
"The New York Day Book, published at
New York, and the Southern AJnit,r. al Phil
adelphia, are both sound and valuable pro-
slavery papers. We recommend them both
10 readers of the Home Journal. ANY paper
or periodical that is not sound on the slavery
question, We nerer piH recommend, aud hope
no Southern man will subscribe 10 such
The Day Book and Monitor are both sound"

The letter in cipher, which so alarmed
Gov. Wise and the Virginians, is explain
ed. A journeyman printer, at Dayton,
"squabbled" few squares of type, which
be afterwards set up without regard to or
der, making an unintelligiblc mass of let
tiers with here and there word mixed ip
For the joke of the thing, he took an i'm
preston of it, and enclosed it, in an envel-
ope, to John Brown. 1t was opened by
Gov. Wise's men, and, as they could make
nothing of it, they concluded that it con-
tanned information Of some dreadful plot,
which Brown would understand ! This
mischievous joke cost Virginia several ex-
ira companies of troops at Charlestown.

rG.The following is an extract from
Millard Fillmore's Letter to the New York
Union Meeting:
"But. in an evil hour, this Pandora S
box of Slavery was again opened by what
| conceive to be an unjustif4ble attempt
to force Slavery into Kansas, by a repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise; and the
foods of evil now swelling and threaten
ing to overthrow the Constitution and
sweep away the foundation of the Govern
ment itself, and deiuge this land with fra
terual blood, may all be traced to this un-
fortunate act. Whatever might have been
the motive, few acts have ever been as bar
ren of good and so fruitful of evil"
What do the Fillmore men of sc, who
sneered at "bleeding Kansas" think Of
the above candid declaration of their then
candidate for President?

ISS- The ". I. Freemens Journal Cath
olic and Democratic) publishes at length
the correspondence between Grow and
Branch, aud thus handsomely compliments
the Pennsylvania Representative:
ave depart from our rule now, to ex.
press our entire commendation of the course
taken by Mr.. Galusha A. Grow in regard
to Mr.. l.. OBJ. Branch. These gentlemen
are known to their respective friends to be
men Of determined physical courage, but
Mr.. Grow has shown that he is equally
possessed Of the higher quality of moral
courage. His plea is not by any meaps
that he is a non. combatant. His answer
implies that he is thorough fighting man
but he declines violating at ouce the
laws of the Christian religion, aud the laws
of his country, by accepting the barbarous
and unreasonable appeal to a deliberate
trial of skill at murder. Mr.. Grow is a
political opponent, but we must say that,
in this matter, he has entitled himself to
the respect of all civilized men,"
We see similar commentator By men of
other parties and denominations.

TRUE AS PREAcHlNG.-The South Ame-
rican member Of Congress from the Third
Congressional District of Georgia, writes
as follows to the Georgia Citizen:
"You now have little insight into the
management Of Democratic atflirs here.
The first day Of the session, they began an
infammatory debate upon the slavery
question, ,inte nded alone for home consump-
ton, aud they are still consuming time,
speaking to empty benches. lhaveheard
the speakers deaouace Shermdn as uef'
to lice, aud, after their remarks, arm
Sherman, and yak IF an social gtee So
much for their sincerity and honest indig-
nation.
IL tell you the politicians of the Dem
ocratic party are making Black RePubll
cans every day, by menaces and threats,
and the South will yet learn that tbeii
Representatives, By inprudence, have ad-
ped fuel to the flames. The moment you
say you are no Democrat, you are denounc.
ed as an enemy to Southern rights, and
ruled out of Southern organizations. But
enough. l write in haste.
Yours, &c, T. HARDEMAN, Jr"

In the Alabama Senate, the Hon. Mr..
Bullock, urging the adoption Of DisuniOn
Resolutions, said:
"If the South should delay, and wait
for an overt act, venal papers and men
would spring up in the South, within a
short time, to advocate giving far tial
to the Black Republican Administration,
aud to hold Office under it. The policy
of that Administration would be to give
more offices to Southern than to Northern
men. 1t would be sbrewd enough to work
in such way as to keep the South divl-
ded, aud prevent Southern unity. Ii
would not commit any overt act"
That must be the most sensible Bullocl
in all Alabama

Deacon Salisbury, formerly of Oswe,

Deacon Salisbury, formerly of Oswego
county, N. Y, bought farm in Virginia,
few years since, and removed thither.
Since the John Brown afflir, being found
with a copy of the Albany Evening Jour
nal in his possession, he was pronounced
a Black Republican, marched OF to Jail,
and finally driven out Of the State. He
has returned to his old home in New York,
aud his return is considered as good for q
thousand Republican votes in his country
next fall. He is a most active Christian
man, was never called anti-slayery, and
was engaged in renovatiug some of the
wora-out lands when the madness Of sla-
very sent him back decided aud effective
foe to the institution.
