The PLAN ADoPTED-by the friends and parti-
| sans of Judge Douglas, to advance his fortune a.
| Charleston, is every way calculated to have the
| reverse effect 1t Is very transparent game of
bray, and is carried with an evident idea that
the Charleston nomination is to depend on the
amount of noise they employ, like the ding -dong
and big drums of a Chinese army going into bat
tie They now pretend to figure up 1trl of the 2CO
necessary to a nomination. In this calculation
they include IS votes from New York though
every astute politician here knows that the New
York delegation is entirely uncommitted Min
nesota held her convention a few days back A
resolution Of instructions in favor Of Douglas was
voted down by two to one. In the face of that
fact they claimed the whole delegation. Mem
bsrs OF that delegation repudiate the idea that
they are Partisans Of Douglas, and six out of ight
are against him. In Massachusetts, and Maine his
friends claimed the delegates, though not more
than third have any sort of leaning for him. and
the other two-thirds are against him. The Con-
necticut delegation has been claimed with like
impudence, but the members of 1t say they are
uncommitted, ard a portion well known to
be hostile to him Indiana and Ohio are claimed
as units for Douglas, though weIl-nformed poll
ticians know that large minorites in both delega-
tions ire opposed to him. PENNSYLVANIA. with ~
votes, is kaown to he dead against him. Rhode
Island, we believe, they have not claimed for a
wonder. Judge Douglas strength at Charleston
may be fairly estimated at about so or % votes at
the most, of whom probably not more than 20 are
welded to his personal fortunes and transferable.

Now we are very sure that no disrepect towards

the failure to tender them position on the right
The terrible state of the weather, the awful crowd

duty Of inviting their field officers upon the stand
was forgotten.

The SoCTH AND DoUGLAs.-The late speech of
Senator Fitch Is being extensively republished
throughout the South, to the end of exposing the
folly Of the proposition that that section of the
Confederacy shall support the Illinois Senator for
the Presidency, as being something better for its
future than the election of whoever NAV be the
Republican party's candidate The conclusion
it forces upon the Southern popular mind is as
simple, AZ pertinent That is; is it worth while
longer to strive to keep up at the North party
standing upon constitutional platform with
reference to the guaranteed rights of the South /,
If so, then the South cannot afford to reward
treachery to the true principles of the Govern
ment In connection with her rights, with her
support in the approaching Presidential election
How the speech of Senator Fitch is operating to
turn the attention of the South to this question:
we leave Southern contemporary, from which
We quote, to tell, as follows
- He tells the South that the doctrine of SQUAT
ter Sovereignty is much worse than the W iimot
Proviso, and he wants her to understand how the
question is, and asks if she intends to lower her
says that If the South is satisfied to make Mr.
Douglas her standard bearer. he would like to
know 1t; and then he and his friends will sur
render at once. and not continue a less warfare
(Which TO his party and section is nOtbng) upon
constitutional priGci pie vital only to the South
which the latter seems to he dis posed to concede
without res oectable struggle. He shows up the
argument with logical clearness, and then turns
to the South and demands why she requires so
much at his hands, when she is perfectly willing
to yield herself and take up with Mr.. Douglas,
Now he makes his points. and comes at cOncfu-
SiOns which should shame southern politicians
who are labOring for him, and the South who SUBJ
missively allows herself to be cajoled Bv either
We wi IL confess that just such view of So uatter
Sovereignty is apropos and if the people will read
1t, 1t will tear off the ilusOry scales that blind
their political vision, and show them the danger
and inconsistency Of their status to-day. Never
was an argument more weak and s;ckeniny than
that which is presented to the South to choose
between Douglas and Black Republican," If
any such issue comes. 1t is because the South and
not the North permits it, Mr.. Fitch's remarks
touch many considerations of this kind which
will set the people to thinking

IRON HOOPS AND TIES
For Cotton Bales.
Pface 6 cents per p0uHd-25 per cent les

Prcs, 6 cents per pound-25 per cent less
than Rope.
ANY one considering the advantages of Iron
over Rope as material for binding cotton bales
will be surprised thlt it has not been adopted
long since. In its security against fire there is
an overwhelming reason for its adoption.
The presses in the Seaport Cities have been
the main cause Of its not being generally adopt
ed; but, now that objection is removed gencr-
ally and the Orleans Press, the largest in N. O..
give 1t the preference over rope The Fassmann
Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of one
OF the proprictors. and is adopted from the fact
that 1t is found after long experiment, to com
bnc the greatest merits in simplicity and facility
OF application Of any one yet made. 1t is so
prepared as to require no change for recon-
pressing. Thus obviating the only remaining
dinculty at the sea board cities.
The hoops are sent Of any length from eight
TO ten feet, and a full guarantee given that
neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break And
Farther, that all cotton bound in them shall be
received on the same terms at the Orleans Press
asrope bound cotton. The weight per bale is
about the same as rope, not one pound more or
less.
To show the opinion Ship Masters have of it.
we give the following, among numerous COM
mendations we have:s
The undersigned masters of vessels having
had cotton compressed with Fassmann's new Iron
Hoops and Ties, hereby recommend the same.
Inc bales being well compressed, and the but
tons or hoops nnver+ breaking when thrown
down In the ships hold; or when slowed.
