!" CONVENTIONS !; DEMOCRATS
AND BOLTERS.n

Those who are entangled in the Laby-
rinthine convolutiens Of a political campaign,
possess neither the untrammeled vision nor
the unperturbed power of philesephic indue-
ton, to eduee and formulate the principles
which control the individual entities ON the
political arena. That tbere are, and from
the Antediluvian ages of Cosmogeny have
been, certain rules of abstract ethics, which
should dominate the concrete actor in pol
itics as in other domains of individual or
multitudinous action, has never been antas>
onistically discussed by any exact student of
psychology but seldom have these %esotsrio
principles been more luminously e1eogitated,
or strikingly applied than by a writer in one
OF eur hsbdomadal journals on the common
and tripodal theme of Conventions; Dem
ecrats and Boilers" He Internationally
segregates the advsntitieus and transitery
from the quintessential aud permanent oil,
emsnts in party strife, and with a m~astsrly
familiarity with tie salient facts Of lido
European chronology, sketches the super
s~ally>inposed and Observation-Disclosures
plunged iineanents of true democracy !; and
incidentally depicts in teuebrieus shades,
the features of the "Boltsr," and his
RELATIVELY" TO tho party ergaaiim. He
mutually comedies that a whig, freed from all
party or patriotic allegiance, since the demise
of "Harry Of the West" may with capricious
agility adunbrate one or the other faction, %
may seem best to bis unligamsntea judgment;
but shows that the sacrament which binds
the trde born Democrat to the conventional
action of his party, is of such s%.nctity, that
no genuine disciple. circumcised into the field
Of the "Noses of monticollo" can, under any
eonglomeration of suspicionq, or malsdorous
perfumes, which Surround, and, as it wero,
cloudily and fetidly encompass, a party con-
%vention, refuse to suffrngize the nominee
All apparent variations fren this r1le arc due
to the n~oeromantic induenoe of a morbid
psychieal development. These seminal max
ions 30 clearly eviseerRted from the aeething
clements OF chaotic controversies should be
constantly ineulcatsd on b~eliisess partizans.
Every tangential departure from the erbi. of
conventional decision is csejoined With peril
to the conventional nominee. It is ONLY to
DO regretted that such irrsfragnble doctrines
were not opportunsly divulged anterior
rather than postsrior to the late election
They would have expurgated from party con.
nexion tho irrsclainably dspravsd, and re-
stored to party fealty tho ephsmsrslly rsp-
rebate. The sacred dorositary Of Anglo
American franchise would not have been pro
faned, as alas it wss, by so multitudinous a
number Of scratched ballots, and the sad
cataclysn which has overwhelmed US, at home
and in the nation, might have been substi>
tutad by a victory as oireumforeDtial as the
country itself. X X

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The result of last Tuesdays contest seems
undoubtedly to be that Hancock has esrrisd
oil of the Southern States, New Jersey, Ne.
vada, aud possibly California, and Garfield
the remainder, thus making the electoral
vote stand-Hsncock, l56; Garfield, 2lS.
According to the latest returns the Legisla.
ture of Nevada, which elects : Senator in
place of Senator Sharon, will be Democratic.
This, if true, insures the election Of Colonel
James G.. Fair, Democrat. In Tennessee,
where there were two Democratic candidates
in the field, returns indicate the election of
Mr.. Hawkins, Republican, by 4 small ma
jority. The Legislature is Democratic, and
insures q Democratic successor to Senator
James =. Bailey, whose term of Office ex-
pires March 3, 1861. With the returns
from the various congressional districts in
complete, i. is impossible to forecast with
ontire accuracy the political complexion of
both houses of the Forty-sevcnth Congress.
The Now York Star, however, claims both
houses Democratic by . small msjority.

To the Editor of the SPIRIT Of jefferson:
DEAR SIR.-You will please allow mo
space in your oolumns TO make = statement
relative to a letter published by Dir. j. IL.
Carey in last weeks issue of the Shepherds
town Register, and to which you referred in
your last issue. Mr.. Carey, pretending to
give q synopsis of a meeting held here on
the evening of the 9th instant, says that the
following reuarks were made by me:
"Mr. Frank Beskwith told me that he has
NO confidence in James a. Carey, nor any
other negro who claims to be a Democrat.
He says all hs wants is the negroes vote but
gives him no credit for being a Democrat"
Sir, l wish to say, 10 justice to Mr.. Beck
with and myself, that the above statement is
a Wiiful lie, gettsn up by Mr. Carey. Mr..
