4 NEW MOVE.
1t is suggested that the business of the Con-
missioner lately sent by South Carolina to the
Legislature Of Virginia was not alone to make
s:'*ious four-hours' haraugue, in which Brown.
Helper, Garrison, Phillips, Seward, and the
Republican party were crucided anew. 1t
leaks out that proposition has been made by
this orator Memmingcr, to Gov. Lotcher: to in
dlice him. rs tue Executive head Of tic govern
m:ut OF Virginia, to call Southern Disunlon
Convention for regulating tic affairs Of tho
country and frightening the North once moro
into compliance with Southern demands.
\ correspondent Of the New York Express,
who appears to he well informed, says that a
part Of the business Of the proposed gathering
will lie tile nomination Of a candidate for tic
rIcsidcncy-a man whom the Disnnionists
will be willing to accept-theEcby destroying
the necessity for holding tho appointed Ma.
tional Democratic Convention at Charleston.
TIE candidate, whomsoever he may he; will DO
forced upon tho party Of the North whether
they like him or hot.
The Dissluion part Of tho story is SO conso~
uaut with tic daily threats Of the fre-eatcrs
that it will attract popular belief; but though
the South las been guilty Of many foolish
things in the way Of Southern Conventions it
may, VIC think, he doing Southern politicians
grca. injustice to accuse them Of the unuttcr-
able folly which would be implied in the NOM
ination talked o.. They are not fools, by a
long shot, and except to the extent necessary
to terri:y the North. they arc not digunionists
hence they will not do so crazy q thing as TINT
marked down III tie programme which the
correspondent Of the Express sets forth.
