The Cass men flatter themselves that they and Buchanan aad Douglas all go down together." The Cassand Dick inson men console themselves with the achievement of defonting Marcy, and the Marcy faction endeavor to imbibe some comfort from the defeat of Cass. The old fogies have crushed Douglas—he was a lit- tle too fast—and say they are content, and young America having killed off the old fogios, declare, over tho left, that they aro content to lose Douglas for four yoars. Thur, it appears that tho only way to got the Aemocratic nomination is to refuse to be a candidate —to standin nobody’s way—bocause, then all the contending factions can unite upon euch a man as a@ sort of compromise.

The repre- sentatives of the democracy of the several States have spoken in a decisive manner at last. Afior five doys of severe labor, they have named their standard bearers, on whom therunited democracy will rally in the approaching heged et Those standard bearers are General Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire. for President, and William Rufas King, of Alabama, for Vice President. ‘These are the nominationg of the democratic party for the two highest offices in the gift of a free poo- ple. They are now before the country; und we hoesi- tate not to declare, in the most emphatic manner, that the democratic nominees will be triumphantly elected. In our judgment, it is perfectly immatorial whom the whigs may nominate; the country is so everwhelmingly democratic that the defeat of eur nominees is not within the range of a reasonable probability. Tho democracy willbe perfectly united in their tupport of our candidates. Nota whisper can truly be uttered against their capacity or democracy. The entire democracy of the nation can, with pro- priety, rally as a unit in their support. The struggle of the friends of the several most rominent candidates, Lewis Cass, Buchanan, and jouglas, was desperate; but the animosity existing between tho respective supporters of these gentle- men was too great to permit them to render any cs- eential aid to each other. Cass wasevidently the fa- vorite of the masses at Baltimore, as well as of those who attended the convention as spectators from other States, and of the democracy of tho city of Baltimore and the State of Maryland. Thore was more genuine enthusiasm for Cass than for all the other candidates. The manifestations in his favor were heartfelt and devoted, and he was laid on the sacrificial altar with a reluctance on the part of his sciends that hasnever been exceeded in the case of any other defeated candidate. But with all this popularity of Gon. Cass, the convention was so constituted that his nomination was impossible, according to all the well known Jaws that govorn organized bodies in their action. The real supporters of Cass only numbered about one-third of the convention. Another third was ) by their mutun | New Hampshire. too great a number to win over by any kind of Re sible management on the part of his friends. The oppenents of Cass were as well skilled in all the dox- terous movements of politics as wore his friends.

Will thoy ratify this in outrage upon tho principles which they protess to sustain—this open violation of the will of the people? We think not. The sole object of 2 natioaal con- vention to nominate a candidate for the support of either party, is to ascertain the wishes of the people, and to place in nomination one who will be most acceptable toa majority of the party. And in ar- riving at this result, it not uofi atly occurs that one who is not ‘* first favorite,” as ‘thoy say on the turf, with the maj. may yet be very de- ledly the “second favorite” with all or nearly all. But this is not the case in the instance before us. Mr. Pierce was not thought of, and is not Imown to any portion of the party whose candidate he has become. His name was not even heard iu convention until the thirty-fourth ballot; and then he is put in nomination, not because the people, or any portion of them, desire his nomination—-but simply beeause their representatives are about te break up in a row; and to avoid this catastrophe, and to wreak a petty vengeance upon each other, a jesiebiece is nominated whose name had not even been whispered hefure, and who is not even brought forward by his ow te! This is not ouly ridieulow is an outrage wpon the wishes and the will of the people. And suppose that by some unforeseen con- tingency and the toreo of party discipline, General Pierce should be clocted! What bécomes of our theory of electing aschiof mogistrate a man whom the people desire to place in the station? Cass, Buchanan, Mar Douglas, and others, were all more or less the fi es of the democracy; but the election of Mr. Piereo, through party machi would be no more a republican procedu would be tho quiet. snecession of Duke Constan- tine to the Empire of Rassia. It would, in fuct, be an accident; and the accident of birth in such caso would be nearly as republican as this procedure. The truth is, the Convention had no power to take up and nominate one for whem no portion of the Peon had indicated a preference; and tho result will be an easy triumph for Daniel Webster. y cid » but, in our opinion, it [From the N, Y, Times, @cott—Seward—whig,) June 7.] THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION, ‘The democratic convention has ended its arduous labors. Four days’ session, and forty-nine ballots, were spent in the effort to select from the half dozen leading democrats of the Union, a Prosiden- tial candidate. The task was too much for them. The attempt was finally abandoned, and every can- didate named during the first three days, or voted for ee bee first thirty-five ballots, was thrown aside. ¢ democracy took refuge from their em- barrassments in utter obscurity. They have selected a candidate whose name not eno ina thousand of the American people ever heard before, and who has ueither high character nor eminent sorvice to show as his warrant for so high a trast.

'Lhere are s well grounded suspicions abroad that (bis nomination, so unlooked fur, was the re- sult of a previously well understood but secret ar- rangement. ‘To conciliate the free soilors, it was agreed to sacrifice every candidate who had written a letter to Robert Scott, and to take up some new oan, who, though as much in favor of the Compro- inize bills, and as resolutely hostile to abolitionism in every form, as either Cass, Buchanan, or Dickin- son, yet not so publicly committed to tho faith. Free foilisin saw, before it went into the convention, that it vould have to take a compromize man, any- how, but they stipulated, and the other parties doubtless agreed, to make the dose as palatable as possible. The platform, it is true, is clear and un- equivocal, so far as the slavery issues—the Up i te slave law, ete.—-are concerned, and nobody doubts in the least that General Pierce is to be placed upon that ple!form, and to stand or fall upon it, ia vember next; but then to have it |, “* we have slain Cass again, as we slew him before; nay, more, we have immolaied every one of your compromise men, who figured in the Robert Scott correspond- ence,” is romething the free soilers thought was worthy of struggling for, and, so thinking, tho boon was insisted upon, and it was given them. Onno other hypothesis can we account for the significant silence of such of the free soilers as found their way into the convention, Not even a in camo from their bosoms when Rantoul was thrust out; not a murmur was heard when the Fugitive Slave law plank was brought forward. On no other ground ean we account for the calm complaceney with which the Evening Post hore looked upon the exclusion of the Massachusetts freo soiler; and on no other sup- position can we reconcile the extraordinary haste tho leading democratic abolition journal in this State, the Albany Atlas, manifested to have it known, in its own words, that “such a nomination will evoke Metts and onthusiasm throughout was one of Vir- nity | We think, will readily reali j ofthe prominent the country; and, if the subseqnont proceedings be of a character in unison, we predict the most auspicious results for the party andthe permanent interests of tho republic. i is @ circumstance, too, avenging these suspicions, that this same eet tas is tho first democratic journal that has Ms Poe our cnet which has ieee at ae head its editorial oviumn, in barge letters, ‘*For » Frapklin Pierce, of New Hampahisg.” Tho Eve to-day, wh anon, willl fo Ww h ing Post, we presume, will do the same » the losser lights of the same eolor, ow the example. } seoret Mtory of the Baltimore Convene ; 1.

On Sat the Democratic National Convention euceceded in nominating Franklin v0, of New Hampshire, a3 the candidate of that party for the Presidency. Our predictions ere thus verified, that none of the prominent aspirants was destined to be the candi- date—ho to whom this distinction has beon finally accorded not having been reganled as a candidate until it became ovident that none but an “ outsider” could be nominated. hd Tee cde cas It is true that for a yoar or two past a partial por- soni has oceasionnily adventured the sug- estion of his name in remote conneetion with the Presidency, though it is but just to say that Mr. Robert G. Scott, of Richmond, included him in his enpocious drag net, which brought so many fish— big and little—to land. And itis pertinent, if not significant, alvo, to remark that he is one of the two from whom ‘ tho mail failed to bring responses” to Mr. Scott's letter—Gon. Builer being the other. Gen. Pierce is 2 mediocre man in qualifivations and in position, but we are not sure that this is not in his case an element of strength. as a cundidato.
