BEHAVIOR OF THE SOUTHERN DgLEaA-

Eight years had passed since tho ropre.
sentative Democrats from nll the States met
together in n dcliberativc assemblage. In

enemies rather thNn rs party friends. Both
northern and southern Democrats entered
that Convention in The spirit Of faction. A
large portion of the North camo with tho
name Of n man inscribed on their banner.
lilo was n representative Of Democratic
principles, and in tho view of his support.

that tho country contained. But thoir do

South in tho spirit Of defiance. Unwilling

TIE SPANISH TNsURRECTIOS

The telegraph this morning gives US
further particulars of the Spanish insur-
rection, which has assumed such pro-
portions as to occasion tie greatest alarm
the supporters ofQueen ISABELLE,
who still remaias at San Sebastian. She,
two days ago, attempted to reach her
capital, in anticipation of the spread Of
the revolt, but found the Madrid road In
possession of the insurgents, and was
compelled to return, en involuntary ex-
lie from the seat Of government. Gen.
PBIM Is at the head Of this movement,
and already has seized CadIE and other
important points, havlRg thrown into
the isld q force Of 10000 men, differed
by the most libera al and progressive spirits
Of the Spanish service. The widest Tu-
mors are afost as to the ultimate result
of this instruction, and conjsetures to
suit ali minds ara current In the English
and French journals. Ofthis, we may,
however, be sure, from the names of the
men enlisted and the earnestness with
which they have so far been crested by
the army and the people, that the affair
will not end short of the initiation of the
reforms asked for by the EsPARTERo
party, and probably the abdieation of the
immoral Queer, who disgrsces woman
hood, monarchy and the Spanish throne.
If the old saying, that revolutions
never go backward" has any force, this,
and every successive revolution in Spain,
must be hailed with satisfaction, as tend
ing 70 usher into the old benighted King
dom the modernism that has given
France, Great Britain and Prussia, n
hundred years in growth and achieve
ment In advance of her.

THE CANVASS IN TBS DISTRICT.
We we're honored yesterday by a visit
from Hon. w. W. VAUGHAN, Elector
for this Congressional District. He is
cheerful, and hopeful Of the triumph o;
the Democracy. Wherever he has yet
made his appearance thousands Of col
ored as well as white people focked ia
hear him. His arguments to cOloTed
voters we're such as meet the spprobs-
ton Of all thinking men. He reports q
signal success as attending the efforts OF
himself and cO-workeTs, and has no
Doubt OF efficient aid, on the 81 Of No
vember, from the colored men Of tbs Dis
trich. At Friendship, In the Seventh
District (0nly a few miles from u own,
be met q large ~concouTse OF people, very
many Of them negroes, and from what
could be learned from gentlemen Of the
place sNerward he spoke with signal
success there. But not alone from Mr..
VAUGHAN do we gather this encoursg-
Ing news. At Lagrange, on Tuesday,
we were informed of an unusual sue
cess attending Democratic effort with
white and colored Radicals, snd at Boil
var and Grand Junction, the feeling is
one Of hopefulness that u ability to re-
lease ourselves, on election day, from
Radical disgrace and thraldom will be
equsl to our desires. The division in the
Radical camp is not without effect for Us,
inssrc1ch as many white men, hereto
fore thought u~Bconvertibls from that
political beresy are enrolling themselves
with the Democracy OF the District, anx-
ious to enter upon the work Of convicting
their few yet contumacious friends, Is
means Of proving their faith by works
meet for repentance. The people of the
Eighth are certain 70 send LEFTwICH to
