THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: WEDNESDAY .................May 2, 1860. ee ieee ee “oirit of the Morning Press. The Constitution says that the Republican oppo- sitiodare just at this time so absorbed in the pro- ceedings of the Charleston Convention that they Lave no time for getting up falsehoods, and that consequently the Democratic press are relieved from the necessity of daily answering new accu- sations. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. _—_—_o Tax Statz or Tainos at CHaRteston.— Washington was in a condition of unprecedented excitement throughout yesterday, concerning events then transpiring at Charlestun ; no infor- mation whatever concerning them being obtain- able bere for love or money, thongh no difficulty was found in transmitting messages per telegraph from Washington to that point. These facts argue something apparently inteationally wrong in the conduct of those controlling the telegraph wires. We were disposed to censure the Agents «f the Associated Press for it, until learning posi- The Intetti arte § we Convention eae | tively that not only were their messages from Congressional proceedings. ee 5 > A national typographical convention meets at Nashville, Tenn , on the 7th inst. 117" The National Union Convention meets at Baltimore on the 9th instant, the Front-street ‘Theatre having been engaged for the occasion.

Tre Lars Prize Ficur.—The latest advices by the steamship North Briton state that the late ize fight attracted great atteytion throughout Og referee's decision relative to the future has not yet been made known. The London Times says the su; men are dissatistied—thata drawn determined on; also, that Heenan’s friends had a the referee to stop the fight. ‘he rumor that the English Cc pion would have been defeated had the fight been allowed to & on is contradicted by the Times, on the author- ty of the referee, who states that they closed the conflict only im compliance with the wishes of the Americans. When the —_ was broken, the referee was forced away, and was outside the crowd which gathered around the combatants while the last three or four rounds were fought. The friends of Heenan insisted on his return to stop the fight, claiming, in accordance with the rales of the ring, that when the enclosure was broken into the combat shonld cease. They therefore made a passage for him to return to the men and stop them, which he accordingly did, in spite of the wishes of Sayers’ sup) , who were confident of his winning in a few minutes more. No other hostile meeting will ever take place between the two men, as the su porters of each cousider that the courage and enknrance of both have been sufficiently proved, and they will there- fore consent to the late Contest being considered a drawn battle. & The Times, in a leader on the great fight, re- marks that ‘‘nations without great qualities could not have brought together twe men willing to pass through such an ordeal as the terrible ‘Aght of Tuesday * Tue Prince of Waxes’ Movements —The Montreal Gazette of the 30th ult.

Shaw. c.R represented in the National Administration. ‘The fact that the majority of the Convention (representing not a single certain Democratic elec- toral vote) scouted the efforts of the representatives of the certain Democratic electoral votes to main- tain, in the platform, the constitutional rights of all the States, which compelled the secession, was attributed to the remarkable prevalence in the body of the influences mentioned above; and, consequently, there were few thoughtful and unselfish Democrats in Washington who did not deplore the condition of the morale of the party’s counsels, as brought about by the abuse of the convention system as now practiced. It was fur- ther deplored as having initiated the destruction of the Government, in initiating the destruction of the only national American political party-- the only constitutional party left since the dis- solution of the Whig party. All here are well aware that there is hardly a notorious lobbyite in the land claiming identity with the Demo- cratic party, famed for connection with schemes to plunder the National Treasury by action of the Federal or Executive branches of the Gov- ernment, or a notoriously disappointed applicant for federal office, not banded together to induce the Charleston convention, to trample under foot in the arrangement of {ts platform and the selec tion of its candidate, every valuable States right in issue in the coming presidential contest. 1t was well known for a vear past that herculean efforts have been made to band together all such elements of mischief to the future of the Confed- eracy, in the hope of clutching the patronage of the executive branch of the Government bya coup de main et Charleston, as bold and reckless, as unscrupulous. With the history of the downfall of other republics in their minds, conservative and thoughtful men trembled indeed, least the result of that combination might bs but a repetition, not long hence—but a swift repetition in our case—of the tale of the downfall of freedom in republican Greece and Rome. Knowing well the character and pecuniary condition of the working portion of this class of the followers of the political for- tunes of Senator Douglas, more than one man here imagined, yesterday, that in the result so far at Charleston, they saw proof that ere they left Weshington during the week before last to re- sume operations at Charleston, in one of their then nightly assemblages bere, their chief had harangued them much as follows. Viz: But for us there is poverty at home, deb‘s abroad ; our present circumstances are bad, our prospects much worse ; and what, in a word, have we left, but a miserable existence? Will you not, then, awake to action? Behold that liberty (license) for which you have so often wished, with wealth, honor and glory, are set before your eyes. All these prizes fortune offers to the victo- rious. Let the enterprise itself, then, let the op- portunity, let your poverty, your dangers, and the glorious spoils of power, animate you far more than my words. Use me either as your leader or your fellow-soldiet ; neither my heart nor my hand shall be wanting to you. These objects I hope to effect, in concert with you, in the character of President; unless, indeed, my expectation de- ceives me, and you prefer to be slaves rather than masters. What bat such advice could have inspirited the inside (of the Convention) and outside Douglasites of the classes we mention above, to their insane work terally driving out of the Convention all its mes rs who may be said alone to represent even the pretence of Democratic-party principle, or adesire to conserve the Union by the continued maintenance of the compromises of the Constitu- tion, upon which the fate cf the Union hangs? ——o-—__ Tue Cuarreston Convention. [Correspondence of The Star.} CHARLESTON, April 20, 1860. Dear Stax: Well, we have had, to-day, that result for which I prepared your readers. The plunder-mongers, disappointed ottice-seekers, and desperate fishers after office under the Federal Government during the next Presidency, here assembled, have accomplished their errand to Charleston. Short-sighted speculators as they are, they were not able to perceive the extent of the mischief they have been so industriously working here. Their aim wes only to drive from the Convention enough. Democratic States delegations to permit the nomination of the man under whose auspices they hoped to be able to’ plunder the national treasury, as the people of Maine, Wisconsin, and New York are now be- ing plundered under the auspices of their Re- publican party State governments. Not being actuated by the pretense of principle themselves, they foolishly imagined that with the rest of the Democratic party—even with the Democracy of the South—politics, is, as in their case, simply a trade in which there is license to all who follow it to essay aught that seems likely to pay in hard doi- lates in the end Not a man nominally identified with the Democ- tacy, known asa regular attendant upon the ses. sions of any State Legislature or Congress, with hand out toclatch a portion of anything that can be filched by improper legislation, fails to make one of this revolutionary crowd now here. Com. bined as they have been, they have worked the friends of Douglas in the Convention up to the point of making of Lim and his cause but a coun- terpart of Cataline and his cause in the affairs of the republic of old. Their success has been, so far, not a whit more fortunate for them than of his prototype and their Prototypes. The latter ‘were not more ingloriously defeated in the attain- ment of their object than the former bid fair to be. They have divided the Democratic party, leaving all who represent effective Democratic electoral votes against them, end carrying off only the sem- blance of Democracy in the @pproaching national contest. I leave you to the telegraph for all the Particulars of the occurrences {n the Convention to-day, through which you have doubtless learned them all. Thoogh but eight States are known to have already seceded, it is clear to me that the rest of the seventeen Democratic States, as here repre- sented, will, in forty-eight hours, participate in the movement. The feeling is to nominate General Davis, with Fernando Wood as the Vice-Presidential candi- date. 1, however, trust that may not be done. First, the Constitutional party in the convention should await the effect of sober second thought; of reflection on what they have brought about, on the minds of the delegations from the anti- Democratic party Sintes. 1 yet hope that they wiil reconsider their adoption of a free-soil platform—for such only is it, with the fhterpretation Douglas gives to toe Cincinnati platform—and Willagree to adjourn the convention without any final action whatever upon snything; recommending the calling of an- other National Convention at Balti. mere, or elsewhere, in June. U regard the propo- sition to nominate Jefferson Davis—whom I would rather see in the Presidency than any other man living, because he is the ablest, most self-reliant, and truly American statesman living—as being en unfortunate step on the part of the seceders; simply because, being of the South, and best known of all living public men as the defender of the rights of the South, with him as the candidate, Cataline’s demagogues would ring into the enrs of the public that the movement resu!! in bis nomination ‘Was a sectional one, mk ‘to end In 8 disruption of the Union; wheres, t 1 simply designed to tnake its continuance sure by the only possible means left to that end. If the break in the Convention is to be a perma- nent one, J,ane Should be the nominee of the se- ceding delegations. He is faithful, eminently 80, to the compromises and guarantees of the Con- stitution. He hasa firmer hold on the hearts of the floating vote of the country than any other man living, being entirely a self-made man, a northern Democrat of the purest water, a States- man who never came to a wrong conclusion or did 1 foolish or regretablething; and, withal, em- phatically, the game cock of the Mexican war. His nomination by the seceders would insute them Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Indiana in November; while in the seventeen Democratic party States, under the circumstances that have brought about the secession, he would carry all before him, like a whirlwind. With Lane es their candidate it could not be urged, as it might be, plausibly, with a southern candidate, that aught but a sincere desire for the conservation of the Union suggested the secession inat uas already taken place here. CoRRESPONDENT privy + ibuces Tue Senate Democratic Caucus Resoiv- Tions are to be taken up on Monday next—having been made the special order for that day—when Senator Davis, of Miss., isto open the discussion bya speech m their favor. As it is understood here that bie effort is likely to be one of the ablest arguments ever uttered in the Senate, public in- terest (to hear him) is greatly excited.
