We give elsewhere all the news which has reached us
from Charleston up to the time of going to pless.
In the absence of any details with regard to the
sttuents of the VOTE pro and on the propos on to
adjourn, deter comments that 1t cannot
but be regarded very grave and important move
ment which the people who sent their representatives to
CharlesCr will, doubt, very seriously consider and
decide unon for themselves We have no disposition
however, with present amount OF informal ton from
or opinion on that point
determnednamely that the person whose pertinacious
partsans have caused all the difficulty at Charleston
cannot possibly be nominated for the presidency as the
candidate of National Democratic Convention. We
need not go into the for this conviction
which every clear headed must possess whether it
is agreeable to his wishes or not
We shall not suggest what PATRIOTISM what magnan-
unity, what party delity-nay, what enlightened and
sagacious selnerest dictates to that person. because
our motives would be misconsrued by schemng parti
sans who not for their party nor for the country
Yet will say that, amidst all the seeming gloom OF
the present. have abiding faith in the continued
ascendancy Of the democratic party in the councils OF
the Federal Government. That great old party has
seen dark days before now. We believe that the events
at Charleston will awaken such spirit the length
and breadth of the land among all her hills and valleys
as well in her crowded cities, that we will all have
occasion to rejoice at any circumstances which could
produce such Efforts Inc voice oil the people Will make
itself heard The unity of the denocl attic party must

The idea that the great democratic party of the coun

has many bright promises in the utureis to be sac
rfced TO the selfish ambition of man, is too absurd
and preposterous to be entertained for moment The
intelligence, integrity patriotism, and craftsmanship o.
the country stands united in support of the constitutions
al doctrines of this timehonoled party. The memories
of the past the promises OF the present. and the hopes
of the future concentrate in effort for its
preservation and perpetuity.
Our faith is strong and shall cling to it through
sunshine and storm with abiding conviction that all
will work out we'll in the end. Let our friends every
where be of good cheer, and with hearty good will &c
to work to correct the and mistakes which have
brought us to the very verge of ruin Let seshness be
rebuked and vaingorous boasting be made to hide Its
head in shame and modification. The time has como
when some pan old fashioned talking must be done,
we propose to do full part time and occasion may
: demand. We pause now only to get fuller view o
the whole field and prepare for the work before u.s.
{ For ourselves though we sympathize duly with thos
who look upon the eventu occurrences OF the day witt
concern and solictude must say we lave no shad
of distrust that good democrat will be elected to TIN
e Chief Magstracy surely as November shall come.
