That Charleston Aercxry ridicules the
idea of not holding the Democratic National
Convention in that city, and says large
contracts for room have been made, which
cannot be evaded. The Charleston News
admits that IS Per day is to be the prics
paid for board, and Of the hospitality asked
for, the News blurts as follows in the face
of the Northern Democracy:
! What has her private hospitality to do
with such case, an irruption npon her
of an immense horde of men, intent On
their own selfish ends aud Indifferent sliks
to her people, their sentiments and inter-
ssts. And thousands of them, toe. ofsuch
character and manners, that if they ,wess
to come here, individually, again and again,
it would never be thought, by respectable
man of our city, to admit any Of than
within his door. During the presence Of
that promiscuous crowd the privste doon
of Charleston will never have been so tight
ly shut and carefully guarded as theas--
She will confer more Wafekins than Aos-
pitality upon the scamp followers" who
have come to. swarm at the assembly Of .
National Convention.
Of the threat to 60 elsewhere, the News
says:
Would it not be amusing If the COM
mittee did make the call, say to New York,
and the Northern delegations meet there,
and the Southern delegations adhering
strictly as is their wont to authority. and
usage, meet at Charlestonl Would itnot
be propitious political events The South,
consisting of nearly all the Democratic
States, and constituting the true Domocra-
cy, would lay down constitutional plat
form, nominate proper statesman for the
Presidency, and the INSCRIPTIONS unsound-
ness of the Northern Democracy being
sloughed off into the New York body (reP-
resenting nothing but tdensselves) would
once more unfurl the constitutional banner,
and under it beat back the hosts of Aboli-
ton, or give deliverance to the Southern
States. r s.s- s-ssF
The insults it seems are to be rubbed By
still higher prices. The 1ri6uns'ssWash-
ipgton dispatch of the 18th, states that
direct information was laid before the Demo-,
cratic Congressional Committee, on Friday
night, to the effect that every man who
registers his name at the Charleston hotels
during the sitting of the Convention, would
be charged 81 per day. An ordinary par
lor and chamber will cost $50 daily.
The Charleston Mercury of the 18th
reports an intense excitement in that
city at the news from Washington, which
cast doubt over the meeting Of the Con-
vention in Charleston. 1t prouonnces the
scheme the last Douglas card, and says tins
wiIlfail. The Mereury adds: ~
Mr.. Douglas friends see plainly that a
Convention in Charleston viii preserve
Southern aspect, and cannot be brow-besten
or bullied. The six hundred and fifty
gentlemen who compose the convention
will be taken good care Of; and the prefer.
ence given them. About one hundred have
already been invited to accept the hospi-
talities of our citizens, and many more un-
will be. But the myriad hang
srs on, ,cho are not admitted to the floor
ofMe Convention, must take their chances
for feed and sleep. 1t is greatly to be de-
sired that their number may be reduced to
as small figure as possible. The Con-
vention will meet in Charleston; but if Mr..
Douglas and his friends desire Northern
Convention, let them call one"
