'ot all Soodhearted people, the ono 10
the utterly helploas and ruined condi.
tion Of the Rebellion South, the other,
the utterly helpless and distracted
condition Of the Rebellion North, or,
in other words, the Democracy. The
negro suffrage question, which was 10
be tho entering wedgo In the great
Unicn organization, did not enter and
split the party according t. the dem
ocratic programme, but the State
Sovereignty question has been tho en-.
tering wedge which has split tho last
romnapt OF Il once glorious party, and
rut tho remainder Of the Democracy
II two pieces
There was caucus Of tho leaders of
this focblo party at Columbus on tho
22d and 23d days Of June, at which it
was determined to hold q State Con.
vantioa on the Gath Of August next
In that caucus tho future policy Of tho
party Was discussed, and such men as
Vallandigham and Thurman, were in
a favor ofa vague stand and an acqnies.
ccnce in the spirit of the times, but
not 80 tho cadsverons CORY and tho
Tabicund Long. The latter gentlemen
etil! stand upon the principle Of State
Sovereignty, and demand that this
shall be the doctrine Of the party
Consequently there has been split.
The State Sovereignty wing are out in

racy OF the State, declaring their in.
tention to hold separate State Con

landieham were tho controlling spirit
Vallandigham, in an address said there
were eleven States which were firmly
planted on the doctrine Of State Rights
He considered that issue as not settled
by the war, and yet to DO fought
What tho precise difference betweer
him and tho Cory school ia upon III,
doctrine, does not appear, but he con
sidored the Presidents proclamation

the question Of negro suffrage 10 b
settled by the voters Of the State, as
step in tho direction of his view O
State Rights. Ho couusclcd cxrem
