Living Eunphed, it occurred to us to inquire
81 16ur&outh Carolina visitor what political
pfnciples Mr. Rhett had assumed the cham.
16ouship Of, and whether there was any Doug.
las party in the State. Ho replied that Mr.. !
Rhe,t vas the head and front Of tue extreme
pro-slavery wing Of the party, which preferred
disunion rather than the smallest concession
to ths sentiment Of the ftce States, and that
there was no Douglas party in the State nor
anything to nuke one Of The party opposed
TO Mr. Rhctt and his friends, our informant
continued, was the Orr party, which was
hardly less determined in its hostility to Mr.
Douglas than the Rhe:tites. The on pa1ty,'
however, ware not 50 strenuous in favor Ct
disunion as their rivals! They were in favor
Of sending delegates to the Baltimore Conven-
ton while the Rhettites were resolved to 50
only 10 Richmond. In reply to further qucs-
ton whether the 1'eop|e, or some Of them, wcle
not in favor Of MI. Douglas, he remarked that
"if the question Of Douglas or Lincoln were
+prcsented TO the rioters Of the State there
"would he absolutely no cltoice, and he ttho
"spcakct} would not vote at all He ex-
pressed our surprise and chilled his attention to
Mr.. Douglas' recent speech, III which ho de-
clarcd that slavery had acquired degree and
half Of latitude by virtue Of his "great prlnc-
ule.r mo.e tim the South had ever before
claimed. He replied that tho South under
stood the Senator from Illinois perfectly, aud
kew lin, to ho capable Of any TREASON to either
section Of the country, which self interest
might prompt--wherelore the South had
epevcd him out Of her mouth.
Another gentlenau, just arrived in this city
from Louisiana, 1ormented tho Douglasiles o.
Chicago yesterday with an account Of the Int
Doua]dsonyilie Convention, where ex-senator
soule got Up 4 delegation Of boilers from tht
regular organization, to attend the Baltimore
Convention. His story Of the 1nsss meeting
for it was rot Convention ut all-was n1
most too ludicrous for belief The crowd gav'
,h,es cheers for Buchanan, three cheers fo
Slidell, and eyen three cheera for Bell an;
Everett but not single cheer for Douglas
The resolutions were declared adopted, with
out being read, and the delegates to Ba]timor
were declared elected, without being eve
named to tho Eovereigns So the louisiana
declared, to the unreasonable disgust Of hi
auditors
l d=pntch in the Charleston Courier, fro'
Montgomery, Alabama, throws. soma light
the murkv subject Of the recent Democrat

1t thus appears taat the real Issue in t
