Year: 1860

We give elsewhere all the news which has
reached lis from Charleston up to the time Of
going to press .'. h.-"' "'ia ritrf


In the absence of any details with regard to
the constituents of the vote, pro and con, on the
proposition to adjourn, we defer comments Oh
that measure 1t cannot but be regarded as
very grave and important movement, which
the PEOPLE who sent their representatives to
Charlesson will, no doubt, very seriously consi-
der and decide upon for themselves. We have
ofinformation from the seat of the late Conyen-
ton, to publish any judgment Or opinion on
that point.


One thing, nevertheless, seems to be very de.
cisively termined-namely, that the person
whose pertinacious partisans have caused all
the difficulty at Charleston cannot possibly be
nominated for the presidency as the candidate
Of NATIONAL DEMocRATlc CONVENTION. We
need not now go into the reasons for this con-
vction, which every clcar-headcd man must
possess, whether it is agreeable to his wishes or
not.


We shall not suggest what patriotism, what
magnanimity, what party tidelity-nay, what
an enlightened and q sagacious selC-intcrcst
dictates to that person, because our motives
would be misconstrued by scheming partisans,
who care not for their party nor for the couu-
try. U-


Yet we will say that, amidst all the seeming
gloom Of the present. we have an abiding faith
in the continued ascendancy Of the democratic
ment. That great old party has seen dark days
before now. We believe that the events ut
Charleston will awaken such spirit over the
length and breadth of the land, among all her
hills and valleys, as we'll as in her crowded ci.
ties, that we will all have occasion to rejoice
at any circumstances which could produce such
effects. The voice Of the people will make it.
self fheard. 'The UNITY oftbe democratic party
must be maintained" will be their decree.
The idea that the great democratic party Of
the country-the party which has done so much
in the past and has so many bright promises In
the future-s to be sacrificed to the selfish am.
btion of one man, is too absurd and preposter
GUS to be entertained for a moment. The in
tclligence, integrity, patriotism, and statesman
| ship of the country stands united in support O
the constitutional doctrines of this time honored
party. The memories Of the past the promises
of the present, and the hopes of the future, con
ccntrate in one common effort for its preserva
tion and perpetuity. Our faith is strong, ant
we shall cling to it through sunshine and storm
with an abiding conviction that all will worl
out we'll in the end. Let our friends every
where be Of good cheer, and with hearty goot
will go to work to correct the errors and mis-
takes which have brought us to the very verg
of ruin. Let selfshncss be rebuked, and vain
glorious boastng be made to hide its head il
shame and modification. The time has com
when some plain, old-fasbionrd talking mus
be done, and we propose to do our full part. q
time and occasion may demand. We paus
now only to get fuller view Of the whole 6el
and prepare for the work before us.


For ourselves, though We sympathize dul
with those who look upon the eventful occu


rences of the day with concern and solicitud


we must say we have no shade of dstrust tbs
a good democrat will be elected to the Chi
Magistracy as surely as November shall come
