The members Of the Richmond Convention
have nearly all gone to Warrington to await
the opening Of the Baltimore Convention, and
the political managers of the several candidates
In training for the race for the nomination are
busily looking after the condition and chances
of their favorites.
Ever since the break up at Charleston, the
several cliques have been trying to intimidate
their opponents by desperate system of brag-
cling, and the exhibition of feigned confidence
in the strength of their combination, in the
hope of frightening them into surrender. The
whole of this process Is q sham, and 1t can never
attain the result the parties in the fight hope
for. Like desperate gamblers a. they are, the
politicians who are to meet at Baltimore are
impressed with the idea that the government of
this country for the next four years ia
pool which is to be won by
game of brag, and that If they can
by any means induce their opponents to
give up the game, the only thing they have to
do is to sweep the prize into their own pock-
cts. They forget that though the contending
players do not see the hands that their several
opponents possess, the whole country sees their
strength and that of their adversaries, and
knows very well that all their confidence Is
assumed, and that when We come to the real
showing of hands in November, not one Of the
now Dragging claimants for the nomination at
Baltimore possesses sufficient strength to &C.
cure the victory. In such state of things the
victory of either Of the contentious cliques In
the Convention will insure defeat for it in No
vember. One or other may OUTAGE all antago-
nists by . pertinacious confidence In itself;
but the whole country sees the respective
weakness Of each, and knows that II Is only by
the union of all that any real strength will ex-
ist in the democratic nominations, and the State
be saved from the misrule, anarchy and ruin
The n0fffHadbu
radical section Of the black republicans most
the adoption Of the revolutionary theories OF
Spooner and the destructive ideas of Helper,
by all the leaders of thatfanstical organization,
and the light Of hatred and ferocity which the
speech of Sumner has thrown forward over the
path that party will pursue in the event Of OBJ.
tanning possession of the government, have all
contributed TO alarm the national sentiment,
and lead 1t earnestly to desire cessation of
the personal quarrels Of the democratic leaders.
All interests among the people desire to unite
and meet the one great issue which the black
republicans have forced upon them. The
popular heart recognises the fact that the revo-
lutionists must be put down. Men Of sense see
what the contentious politicians will not recog.
mise: that If the old democratic organization
does not continue its existence to meet the pre-
sent crisis, its several fragments will be useless
and powerlessfor thatpurpose, and the triumph
Of Lincoln will be inevitable. Such q result
leaves no hope for the old democratic leaders
They will be left without party, without
power, and consequently without followers.
Now that the delegates and political man
ayers are in Washington, they could not do bet
ter than 10 have little common sense exami-
nation Of each Others real strength in the party.
II they viii do this, they will come 70 know
ledge Of facts that we have for some time
known. The honest partisans Of the several
candidates viii see how they are all tricked by
the political gamblers; how each set Is counting
upon promises Of support that have been made
to all alike, and will be kept with none how
they have been deceived, and their feuds with
each other kept up and embittered, for pur-
poses in which they have no part, and how
they have all been reduced to the condition of
mere pawns, which are pushed hither and
thither, to further projects in.which they do not
and never can participate. We do not address
this advice to any one clique, nor do we make
any exception. In its application. We say 10
all who have been striving In favor Of any par
ticular candidate-to Davis men, to Douglas
men, to Guthrie men, to Breckenridge men-you
are deceived, youare betrayed, and you will be
cold, and your price will be claimed by those
who have 90 artfully contrived to heighten your
mutual anger, 90 that you shall not too soon
come to knowledge OF their faithless promises
to you all.
On Monday next you are all to meet at Bal
timore. If you do not learn at once the truth
Of what we now tell you. You will become con.
WINGED Of II when II VIII be too late TO recede,
and when anger will only serve you for the
ignoble purpose Of revenge. Not one OF you
possesses strength enough to achieve OF your
selves the nomination Of your candidate. and II
you succeed through the selfish and corrupt
efforts Of the political gamblers who hope to
control the nomination. the very fact of your
