JUDGE Observation-Disclosures may be said of
the merits OF Judge DoUGLAs. it is manifest
shat the K 'pubIieans regard him Is the most
dangerous candidate the democracy can place
in the field for the Presidency. There is not
R~pablican journal, or speaker in the coun-
try, that does not beiray the fears of the par
~ by constantly depreciating his ability and
protesting a belief that he has not the least
chance Tor the Charleston nomination, and
could not be elected if he could get the en-
dorseEnen: Of his party. If his chances for
tine nomination were contemplate as they
aIlege, aud his strength as a candidate 80 in
considerable, they would scarcely dvign TO
notice him. But they feel that he is the most
formidable of all the democratic asPirants TO
the Presidency, and hence their constant and
unfagging efforts to kill him of by unGerrs-
Z ng him. His canvass in Illinois against the
combined opposition of the administration,
with ali its patronage and power, aud the Re-
pubIicais, proved him TO be man of vast
intellectual resources, wonderful energy, aud
most powerful amongst the masses. That
canvass, We are constrained to admit. how
ever much We may dislike and condemn the
principles OF Mr.. DouGLAs, stands without
riyal-uothing equal To it has ever occurred
in the political history OF this country, and
We doGb, ii the like will ever be seen again.

DEMOCRATIC REIIABTI.ITY.-In 1856. the Op-
ponents of the democracy everywhere charged
that the Cincinnati Platform was double
faced. This WAS vehemently denied by all
the speakers and journals. 1t is now admit
ted. Hear the Richmond Enquirer. Ii says.
.In previous number we have shown the
bad policy of retaining the Cincinnati Plat
form in its present ambiguous and eqauOcut er-
pressions. 1t cannot be too often reiterated,
that the courageous wisdom of an open and
bold declaration Of adjudicated principles is
a better policy than the false, reptile pru-
drnce' OF douJEe.face'i platform The tempo
rising meanness of dJubs constructions will de-
tract from, rather than add to the strength of
the party"

The Charleston Nesos says:-we do not
speak unadvisedly when we say that toe
South Carolina delegation will not submit 10
the nomination OF Douglas, and that II VIII
insist that the platform OF the Consention
shall contain an Endorsement of the Dred
Scott decision. that the Southern people are
entitled to have their slave property protect
ed in the Territories. Ii is as we'll To broach,
at once and directly, the main proposition
inv elyed to-wit, that if Douglas is nomina-
ted, the State of South Carolina will not give
him her electoral vote. That vote will be as
potent to defeat the success OF the Black Re-
publican party IL given to another statesman,
as if given TO Douglas while the refusal TO
cast il will but illustrate the dignity and
constitutional views of South Carolina Let
the election, if necessary, fail in the Electoral
College, and go into the House OF Represent
atiyes, (where each State casts but one ana
an equal vote,l and let the issues come. They
should come in an Assembly provided hy the
Constitution, and where there is official re-
sponsibility. They viii never rightly come,
nor will they ind solution in the Response
bic caucuscs or conventions Of mere party.
If the Ne,os truly represents the feelings
and intentions Of South Carolina, she owes IL
to herself not to participate in the Charleston
Convention. To take part in that body, to
attempt TO shspe it's platform, and to secure
q nomination for the Presidency favorable to
her views of public policy and, if defeated,
then to oppose the will of the majority and
refuse TO vote for the nominee, would be dis
creditable to the State-a reflection upon
her hanor. By declining 10 participate in

Alabama has appointed delegates to the
Convention and instructed them to retire II
her policy, in regard to slavery in the ter
risories, be not adopted. In our opinion, her
delegates ought not TO be permitted to take
seats in the Convention. They have no right
10 them, because they go there as mischief
makers if the majority do not coincide with
or adopt their views-they, in effect, demand
that there shall DC an unconditional surreu-
der OF right of thought on the part of others,
and that they shall be permitted to frame the
party code. This is not the spirit which
should govern parties going into convention.
If such an instrumentalily must be relied
upon to enact party laws and to make party
nominations acquiescence in the will vi the
majority is absolutely necessary. Aud upon
this basis alone ought delegates to be ad
mitted.

The Democratic programme for the next
Presidential election, vas settled in Washing
ton last Thursday night.
Kentucky and New York are to be har
messed to the car OF Disunion DemOcracy, and
Breckenridge and SEYMOUR are to he the
Charleston nominees for President and Vic.
President. Every effort To avert this decis-
ion will fail, and nothing will remain for th"
Charleston Convention to do. but to confirm
this arrangement, which that body will be
sure to do.
We put this statement on record, not IT
the light of prophecy, tor we are neither
prophet, nor the son of one, but as the ma
tured decision of the Congressional leaders
oil the Demc cratic party, in council assembled
and the developments will sust ain it sure
ly as the Charleston Convention will meet,
unless, indeed. something entirely Unforeseen
and unanticipated should occur TO change
the programme, of which there is little dan
ger in the short space OF time TO intervene.
