Mr. KiekraTrick wanted to koow if these regolat'ons embodied toe sare thing as the resolutions alopted by the People’s Convention ta 1868, which carried them tava through to victory. Mr. Eni said that he believed there was nothing in those resolutions but what expressed the idens of all the opp nents of the national administration for tno last year, sad he hoped that they woutd be adopted. Mr Susrm, of Paiiadelphia, wantoa the third resolution, Or the one referring to the extension of slavery, ran A number of delogates jamped to their feet and com. menced talking in an excited tone, and screaming ‘let us ‘vote upon them.” The resolution referred to was fivally read, when Mr, Sacre said that he was opposed to it, He eaid ho was as Ditterly oppoved to tho extension of slavery as any oue present, but wanted to see a course adopted that would secure toe co-operation of those opposed to the democracy in the South, and be hoped that the re- golution would be modified. A number of delegates jump- ed to their feet, and tried to getthe floor, Oihers were singing out, ‘There i3 no use trying to get any assistance from the South,” and Mr. Smith was compelled to give way to the pressure. Mr. Kikkvarkick said that be came from the Wost, where they last year route1 the entire ticket nominated by the democracy, and if these resolutions did not go too far be knew they could do it again. He did not know, when he was asking & question a few minutes ago, that be was tbrowinga firebrand into the Convention ana about raising such a breeze, All he wanted to koow was ‘whether those regolutions did not gotoo far on the slavery question, and drive of many who would otherwise go with them. A number of gentlemen arose to explain, and amidst a sort of Babel confusion the Chair put the question, and the resolutions as they were reported were adopted, or at least declared so by the Unair, Move to adjourn was then heard from all parts of the house. Mr. Dickey moved that a State Central Committee be appointed by the delegates from each Senatorial district ‘This motion caused 4 perfect furore, one desiaring that it ‘Was an insult to the Chair, the usage being that tho Pro- sident of the Convention appoint the committee.

A Champagne and Stracderry Party at General Cameron’s— Delegates Present and Absent—The Result—Political Gossip. Between seven and eight o'clock Inst evening there was a string of omnibuses and carriages laden with delegates and politicians of all grades, who harbored in their breasts a hatred to the national administration, wending their way to “ Lochiel,”” the residence of Hon, Son Cameron, about one mile and a half from this city, to enjoy the hospitali- ties of the Winnebago chief, in the shape of strawberries, ice cream, brandy and champagne that éhe General had Prepared for them, to impress the representatives of the republican, or I suppose I should say here “the poople'’s party,”” with his merits as x candidate for the Presidency. On their arrival at Cameron's residence they found every- thing arranged in apple pic order, every apartment ewept and garnisbed, the Pennsylvania Senetor anxiously await ing their arrival with a smiling countenance, which he well knows how to pat on when he hag a political poiat to make, or is preparing to spread a little of his soft soap upon his victim, in order that his promisee may appear more plausible, which are beisg con. sidered by all worth something only when the Senator can gaip a point by fulfilling them. They all took hold of the delicious strawberries, and tested the virtue of the champagne with a much more seeming grace than they endoreed the General in the Con- ‘vention. ‘After spending a social re-nnion of two hours, they re. turned to this city in high gles, reaty to nominate Came- ron for the Presidency, ‘and ram bim on the high preasure eystem to the White Houee. Everything paseed off plea. santly, and to the satwfaction of all engaged as host or guests. Many of the delegates,} however, refused to ac- Cept the invitation. A few favorites remamed at ‘‘Lochiel”” after the crowd dispersed to talk political matters in go- neral, and stick afew pips as landmarks for 1560. All whom we bave met eer are complaining of a bad headache; to say that it resulted from the use of a Freach Se article at “Lochiel”’ would perhaps endanger our ends. The delegates, as well as the disappomted candidates, are now Jeaving town as fast as the cars will carry them away , to report to their constituents the work accompligh- ed on thie political journey. The two political armies being now formed and every thing piaced in battle array, an ineight to their camps may perhaps throw a little light upon the probable reauit of the campaign. The deserters that left the democratic ranks under the lead of Forney, are tast returning ana bog- ging to be taken in out of the cold: tas democracy were never in beter epirits than at the present time, and count ‘a8 confidently upon success as they did before the open re- bellion in their ranks. The fact tha’ there is nothing but ‘a local election to take place this fall, and no Congressmen to elect, is in the eyes of the democratic leaders an im- portant item in their favor, The rack and ille in the democratic party in this State are always out, rain or shine, and the election of a corovor 1s of just as much im- portsuco in the light which they view matters, as the elec- tion of members to Congrees, and whenever their party calis upon them they yote—bound to save their country. On the other hand, the opposition can rarely get ont a fail vote unless it is ina Congressional or Gubernatorial election, aud the democracy are counting largely upon the opposition taking more interest in digging potatoes or eome other work than going to the polls; this, in connection with sundry bills in the Auditor General's possession, of items ip connection with the incidental expenses of the last re publican bouge, which is expected to stir up a breeze amorgst the pure and virtuous peoplo’s party when pri sented to the public. From these bills they certanly shouid be pure, for is evidence of Soap enough to remove rii political Cignt to cieun ali the Aw; The opposition are.

There is a long time between this and October, and there is no telling what will turn up in favor of either side. At present tho appearances are in favor of the opposition.

By far the moet important convention that ever as- sembled in Louisiana bas just closed ite deliberations at Baten Rouge, the State capital, Every parish in the Stato, except Vermillion, was fully represented. Out of 220 delegates—accordipg to the appointment of the De- meeratio Central State Committee—218 voted. In every parish there was a trial of strength between tho Slidell men and the Soul’, Douglas and State rights secessionists io the golection of the delegates. It wes the intention of the oppoeition to make this Convention the slaughter house of Slidell and his friends, to condemn the foreign | ‘and domestic policy of Mr, Buchanan’s administration, and to pledge the State to Mr, Douglas, who happened to be in the city whilst the Convention was in session. After months of se:ret organization, with every appliance to insure a victory, the fabric built up by bungling archi- tects came to the ground, catch!ng a number of the build- | €va and eome of the designers under the falling timbers ‘This perfoctiy digested plot failed by the imprudence and mismanagement of ex-Senator Soulé, who, certain of the political destruction of his ola enemy, Slidell, could not be restrained; but, assisted by ex U.S. District At- torney Clack, Maunsel White, the 7rue Delta newspaper and Governor Wickliffe’s appointees, called a moeting of toeir democracy at the Odd Fellows flall for April 6, 101 patriotic democrats met on the occasion, aud Maunso! White—the same gentleman who threw o/f his vote on two ballots, thereby preventing the election of Mr. Siidel to the United States Senate in 1849, by making it a tis yote between Slidell and Kenner, the whig candidate, risking the loss of a democratic Senator when Slidell was the unanimous choice of the democratic caucus—was chosen to preside over the meeting. Soulé addressed the vast asscmblage, aad indulged in usual flery deaun- ciasions, indirectly ageipst Slidell aud the administration, directly against all cliques, miscreants and federal cor- Tuphopists, and was followed by ex. U. 3. District At- torney Clack, who bad cut and dried a strong set of re- solulicps, sustaining Mr. Dooglas aud bs pecuiiar views on equatier sovereignty and Congressional interfereace, and coademping in unmeasured terms the admumiatrat on of Mr. Bachauan, with the usual adenda of corruption aad imbeoility. Toose One hundred and one gentlemen, in the face of a prolest signed by nine hundrea democrats, urging their bretoren to abstain from encouraging an iadependent o- outside Organization of the democratic party, declared themselves the Simon Pure democracy, avowing their in- tention to act independently of ali cliques, and prosoeded lo appoint an executive and parish committee, who des'g- bated the 14th of May as the time for tue e’ection of de- legates to the State Convention at Baton Rouge, to be bed on Wednesday, the 25th of May, for the purpose of nominating candidsies for the various S.ate offices. Toe State Democratic Central Committee, in accordance with long established usage, had weeks previously designated May the 16th for the ‘same purpose. (a the 14tn a full train of Souté delegates was elected. In some wards ouly two or toree persons met and elected their delegate, other wards five or six was tue number voting for « de- legate, which the True Deléa the next morning announced a8 the © uprising of tue people” aud their devermiuation to throw off the * Siideil federal yoke,” &c. On tne lth, the period selected for the election of delegates by the State Central Committee, the regular Central Commies carried every ward ia the city, save two suburban wards, in one of which the Slidell deiegate was beaten three votes, avd in the other the democrats «leclined voting bo. cause @ Know Nothing chairman and secretary had boen appointed in a democratic ward to organize the meeting. It was some weeks after ths meeting at Odd Fellows Hall before the opinions of the demozracy ia the distant sections of the State could be ascertained in regard to that movement; but when they were rezeived, it brougat ter. ror to the Souléitee—parish after parigh in their ward meet- ings repudiated the Odd Fellows Hall recolations, de- pounced the movers of it as disorgunizers, and prssed resolutions approbatory of Mr. Bachanan’s administra hoo. The ava'anche of democratic denunciations was ir- resistible; the wary and foxy began to baal back, and, to make up for thcir disloyalty to tne party, became more fierce and yituperative against their whilom friends than any of the old liners; thoge uader the immediate eye of Soulé were stediast, for he really con yinced them that succees would crown their efforts at the Baton Rouge Convention. Mr. Robertson, the State Auditor, had been a warm sympathizer with Soule and the Oid Fellows Hall democracy, but about ten days ago, “hearing tbe cane crack,’ came out and denounced the Odd Feilows Hall meeting, and repadia- ted their sentiments, aud stigmatized them as disorgan- ‘cers. Mr. Roberteon has been revominated for Auditor, and is considered -*devilish sly.’” When the delegates assembled at Baton Ronge on Wednesday, the 25ib, Soulé and his bogus delegates were all on the spot; every politician in the State was present— State Senators, legislators, geperals, colonels, captains, and maay others of inierior note; the camp followers were there; the political vultures were thers, ready to pounce down oa any carcass that the Convention might politically aiaughter, and many were there for the pur- poee of having the satisfaction of “kicking the dead liom,” whose grow! had kept them in terror for years; for Souls, erron, Wickliffe an otbers had promised the immolatioa of Sitdel! by the Convention, and such an opportunity was not to be lost. The first thing the Convention did on its organization was to @ject tho Soué delegates, and receive the Slidell men who were elected on the 16th. The next thing was to retuse to ‘et Soule have a seat in the Convention as a xy. Thon Mejor Herron, upon whom the entire oppo- sition bad centred to defeat’ the administation candidate for Governor, who was a warm Slidell man, began aigo to ‘shear the cane crack,” and he repudiated Souls and the Oda Fellows Hail meeting, and his name was withdrawn 4s a candidate for Governor. Soulé left the Convention, abusing hart A perzon, and Herron particularly, leaving the entire fleld to Slideli. Four old line democrats, Sii- del} men and friends of Mr. Buchanan, were pat in nomi- pation for Governor. Tne hee eed concentrated on Gen. Phillips, of De Soto, with the hope of defeating Colonel Moore, who was known to be the friend of Slidell. 16th ballot the friends of Marks and Griffin went over to Moore, and he was unanimously proclaimed the choice of the Conventioa. The nominees for Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer, Secret of State, Superintendent ot Public Schools and Attorney General, are all administration men and the pergona! friends of Siidell. Mr. Robertaon, the nominee for Auditor, having purged hiraself from all con- nection with Soulé and the opposition, may, I preauma, be placed in the same category. To the ticket juat formed at Baton Ronge there will be no opposition; it will be a ‘walk over.” The nollifiers or sevessionists bave not a corporal’s guard; they have no nucleus, eave their antipathy to Slidell, upon which to organize an opposition, Their rebuke at Baton Rouge has been too po'nted. There is neither spirit nor inclination to promise a rally; nothing they can now do can aft the integrity of the party or threaten the democracy with danger. Noone cares a straw how Soulé and his 101 may vote, nor is it a question of the least importance whether they vote or not. The Know Nothing party will never fraternize with thom, for a majority of the 101 are adopted citizens; they may permit them to vote the Know Nothing ticket, but that will be all. The reeuita of the late Convention may be thus summod up: I! was designed to divert the democracy of Louisiana from the support of Mr. Buchanan, aod to endorse Me. Dovglaa to the Charleston Convention; and what was re ter importance to the Soulcites, it was intended to break the Hon. Joba Slidell down; anda nice thing they macieé of it. The resolutions, endorsing in the strongest eunge Mr, Bocbanan and his policy, domestic and fo- eign, paesed Unanimously, with the exception of the op- position of Mr. Sha¢barne to one resolution. Mr. Siidell bas triumpbed over ali his enemies. A Convention toreat- hed io ite organization with confasion and itl feeling, closed its labors most harmoniously, the opposition com- jog forward and pledging their individual support to the ticket—every body pleased, except Soulé and hia re- jected delegation. ¢ political skies are clear, no cloud cen be seen in the horizon, the party is intact, and John | Slidell stands where his political integrity, his ability, bis | firmnces and his reliability has always placed bim—the leader of the democratic party of Louisiana. Remarkabie Race by Rall—Stakes $275,000. | From L. D.

Mr. Racker had the facta from Jobu D. Campbell, Esq , Superintendent of the M. 3. and N.1LR.R. One day last week, as the eastward bound exprese train reached Laporte, Ind., @ passenger stepped off while the engine waa beiag replenished with wood and water, and walked back and forth on the plat- form, and continued to walk until the whistle sounded, The other passengers got on board and the train passed off, but the gentleman still walked on. A few minutes after the train bad gone a station man gaw the pedestrian, and going op to him, asked, in a surprised tone: “What the —— are you doing here?” The man started, opened bis eyes and looked around bewildered. The fact was he had been fatigned and | dropped asleep while wall » Rousing himself, he “aa P king. s , “Why! Where am 17? “Where aré you?

This strange demand and strange offer caused the station master to hasten todo what he could, The fire wag not out in the engine thet had drawn the train fo that point—the bargain was fettied—a draft given on York for the $260, and in ten minutes the traveller tarted, with an engine to overtake the flying express.

The Southern Convention— Review of Its Proceedings—fhe Reneau Cuba Meeting, £c., de. ‘The Southorn Convention, after an exciting seasion of five days, is closed, and the deiogates have departed to their respective homes, Although i¢ may bo true that they did not represent the sentiments of their respective States, and had no power to speak for thom, still it is ob- vious that the work which they have done will not bo without its effect upon the Southern mind, and may op» rate ujon it to such an extent as to effect incalculable mischief upon the country at large, unless moans are re sorted to to prevent such a result. Many, indeed most of the delegates, were men of ini{lu- ence, and the fanaticism to which they were themselves aprey «ay extend still urther. The predominant seo tment in the Convention was ono of uncompromising hostility to the federal Union; and that sentiment was exhibited not alone in the encouragement, hold out to the violators of the laws against the slave trade, nor in the proposition to cut off all intercourse with the North, ern States, por in the insane ravings against the poople of the North; but several of the speakers seemed to gloat with ecstacy over the prospect of meeting * Federa! Jani saries’’ in arms, and “ welcoming them with bloody hands to hospitable graves.’’ This, I say, was the overshadow: ing sentiment in the Convention, All the speakers who gave expression to it were rapturously applauded; and One might imagine that there never was a people so out rageously oppressed, trampled upon and goaded into resistance as those who live this side of Mazon aud Dixon's live, ‘As to the rovival of tho slave trade, that project seamed only to have been introduced as affording a conduit for the emission of these traitorous sentiments. I have beard delegates say:—What is the use of passing those resolu- tions? We don’t want to have those slave trade laws ro- pealed. The trade 1# open and can’t be stopped, Adver- tsements have been published in this State offering certain prices for native Africans to be delivered at certain points ‘on the coast. It is the common talk here. peopie bave made contracts for the delivery of Africans. [ heard ‘ man say yesterday, that he wanted a thousand, and bai made an arrangement for twenty, at the rate of $300 each He would have contracted for forty if he could have got them at a less rate, jing an opinion for or against the revival euougd to Bay that so far as the South ern Convention was concerned, the sentiment was over whelmingiy in favor of it. But, per contra, the majority of the Southern States have imitated Congress in prohibit- ing it, and have on their siatate books laws dectariug it ap offence, puvishavle with fine and imprisoament, o introduce African slaves within the territory of the State Even Mienissippi—whose vote was cust ia the Conven tion in favor of reopening the trade—passed a law, through her Legislature. so recently as 1867, declaring tue introduction of an African siave within her borders au cflence punishable with a fine of $1,000. Bat the fir brancs of this Southern Convention would override ali jaw, State or federal, and plunge the country into the horrors of intestine war, to carry out their philanthropic pan of civilizing the african and enriching themselves or ‘riends with the profits of the trade. It is perbaps wortby of potice, in this connection, that two high federal officers—the Goilector of the Port of Vicksburg and the United States District Attorney for this district—were active members of the Cenvention, and lent to it their countenance and approval. Taree dele- gates from Mississivpi declined to remain im the Conven- tion, and withdrew in disyuet Perhaps the simplest and best way of rebuking the Convention, and neutraliziog the effect of its action, would be for the Legislatures of the respective States that wero committed here to this Iawiess project, or for their citi- zepa in mass meetiogs, to disown and denounce the action of their delegates. If not, it ts easy to perceive that their proceedings will be regarded throughout the South as regular aud official—at least to a certain extent—aod as binding the States to the declarations and resolutions made and adopted in this remarkable body. A mess meeting of the citizens of Warren couaty, Missiesippi, has beeo called to assemble at Vicksburg, for that purpose, this day week. The slave trade proposition havimg been disposed of by the adoption of a resolution declaring tuat all laws, State or federal, that prohibit tbe introduction of African slaves should be abolisned, the Convention proceeded to minor matters. A resolution in favor of free trade and direct taxation was reierred to the consideration of the next an- nual convention, The same disposition was made of a re- solution in reference to the African apprentict ship aystetn. Aresolution to prevent invercourse between the North ‘and South was generously permitted by its mover—Judge Jones, of Georgia—to lie onthe table. And resolutions introduced by ex Gov. McRwe, of Mississippi, declaring ‘that the Gulf of Mexico should be made an American sea— @ mare clauswa—that Cuba should be acquires and the Istbmian States Americanized, and that the election ofa republican President in 1860 should pe considered suifi- cient cause for the organization of an independent Southern confederacy, were adopted. The proposition for direct trade between Ghent, in Belgium, and Memphis, Tennessee, was passed over unacted on; and it Was fixed, ‘after a pretty warm discus: sion, that the next meeting of the southern Convention shail take place at Atienta, Ga.,on the second Monday in November, 1860. It was charged by a geatieman who ob- jected to the time fixed, that it would have the appear. ‘ance of being a menace in reference to the Presidential election, and that, coming so cloeely on the heels of the election, it would be regarded as squinting ats disanion rrapgement; while the gentleman who reported the re- jution degied that that was the object which be had in view in voting for the committee. He declared that he could gee no reason why disunion should nut form a legiti- mate subject of consideration in that convention. The meeting of Cuban tilibusters that was called to | take place here this week, under the auepices of Mr. | (Genera)) Renau, of Louisiana, did not come off, either for lack of eympathizers or for some other cause. At least T could learn nothing about it, and the papera here appear to have been in equal ignorance.

This cordiality no doubt involved considerable trouble and inconvenience to bis Excellency, but he bore it in a mannor that indicated his appreciation of the kind motives which dictated this over- zeal to see and greet him. If he should again be before the country as a candidate for re-eloction to his present po- sition—which he disclaima boing—he would undoubtedly be the first choice of North Carolina. Such, at least, was the opinion of some of the most distinguished democrats of that State; and from the manifestations which were made in reference to the President, I have no doubt of its correctness, His visit bas tended more to winover to him the affections of the people of that State than any amount of public service that he could perform. It has awakened @ feeling of State pride which no mere official act could arouse ; and this visit is particularly flattering since it was the fist non-oflicial visit which the President has made to any State other than his own since his inauguration. The spectacle of bis interviews with the people at the various points ulong the route was truly interesting. The joy with which bis arrival was hailed everywhere betokened a warmth of affection that repelled the very idea of syco- phanoy or selfisoness. It seemed to sayor of a po- cultar attachment to the individual apart from his bigh official etation; and with those who had opportunities of more tham @ mere passing intercourse with him, this feeling became moro and more intense. T was peculiarly strack with the satisfaction which each one who was fortunate enough to receive a shake of his bend derived from that commonplace ceremony. It afforded as much delight to the generous North Carolini- aus a8 would the conferring of a batch of offices upun a par- cel of hungry spoiismen. The comparison is bardly just tothe novle.and disinterested pride entertained by the people of the old North State at the visit of our distin- guished Chief Megistrate. But the reader can easily dis- Unguigh between the relative character of the feelings of both. Ican well conceive what influence tho President's vieit to tho North Carolina University is likely to exort upon the future prospects of that inetitution. The hooor of @ spocial visit from auch a mae as James Bucbanan is made to imply a crstinguiebing merit in the University which will be ageumed, ips facto, ag & guaranty of its pre- eminence as an institution Of learniog. It only now re- mains for the trustees to enlarge its accommodations to secure it patrooage surpaesing that of any similar insti- tation in tho country, The visit will not be without its etiect, aleo, upon the graduates. Under the happy im pulse which its memory will impart, they will endeavor to render their future career worthy the noble auspices under which it was commenced. Many of the graduates remarked tbat uhey would always look back with pride to the cojacidence of the President’s visit with the receipt of their graduating diplomas, and rocur to itas a motive of inepiration toa noble zeal and energy in what- ever pursuit they might engage. The cilictal returns of the late election in this State, so far as received, indicate that Leteher’s majority will reaca over tix thourand. In 104 counties heard from be has a tuajority of four thousand seven hundred and eight; aad should his majority in the counties to be heard from ap. proximate the resalt in 1855, it is estimated that his ma jority will reach the above figures. A strange feature in connection with Congressional elections ts, that in every inatance the regular democratic nominee war do- fested where an independent democrat was ia the field. This, of course, is accounted for by the division ocsa- sioved in the democratic vote aad the invariable support by the Know Nothings of the independent candidate, with a view to break down the organization of tho demooracy. Iu the Third, Sixth and Tairtcenth Cougressional districts tne independent democratic candida‘es received the wholo Know Nothing vote, the object in some instances being to aid the election of the democratic malcontents in the hope of defeating them next time with a real simon pure Know Nothing. It is shrewdly copjeotured that tho @ucceasful independents, baving once received a taste of office, will persevere in their rebeilions course, and seek are elec. tion by the samo meana which secured their success in this instance. This rebellion wiil necessarily invoive a saerifice of many votes of their party, even though no regular nomination is mado; and the Kaow Nothings, en- couraged Ly this division, will be sure to run their best men. If the democracy, in order to punish this rebellion, sboald mexe nominations, the resuit will be no better, in- aemuch as a still greater division of tho democratic voto would follow, which would place the success of the Know Notbing candidate beyond a question. The truth is, that the people of Virginia were becoming tired of the ioefli- cienoy of their members and desired a chang. Our dole- gation, with few exceptions, degenerating into mere po- tical wireworkers, and were more the gervauts of Pre- sidential agptrants than of the people. Reckoniog day has come, however, apd these operators are pow permitied to epjoy the sweets of private life. e wireworkers who bavo in their eepecial keeping the Presidential prospects of Senator Hunter held a little cau- cus a few days ago in Washington. They had under consideration the recest sad revuision in Virginia and the extent of their repeeeiee therein, and concluded | that the result was a rebuke to themselves aad their chief | in the face of which it would not be prudent for them at present to move. I have it upon the very best authori:y that it was deemed by them inexpedient to make any fur- ther eflorts against Wise in Virginia, and they accordingly | agreed to Ict Hunter await the ‘‘casualties”’ of the Charles- ton Convention. Their instrumentality in Letcher’s nomi- nation and subsequent abandonment of him, has brought vpon that clique the contempt and scorn of nine-tenths of the cemocracy of Virginia, You will soon seo some de- velopements that wil! occasion ton not a little surprise, and gettle the popular status of this wing of the Virginia democracy for all future time. Much disappointment was felt by the democracy here, and in fact by ali parties, at the Presideni’s refusal to make this city his way back to Washington. I have no doubt he id receive a very warm reception. Indeed the character ot the men who signed the invitation to him was a sufficient . on that head. The Richmond Grays, probably the most efficient and best disciplined volunteer company in the South, will visit New York about the 12th or 15th of August, in compliance with ap invitation extended to them ee Duryea, of the Seventh regiment. It is thought they will visit other portions of the North before they return. Iam informed that active preparations are being made at tbe several Spriogs in Virginia in anticipation of an un- usvally prosperous season. It is thought that the obstacle to European travel jnterposed by the present war will be a material benefit to the Springs, and in anticipation of this result considerabie additions are being to the accommodations, ‘hat no one dreams of leaving home for tho mountains, Fires have been in requisition for the past two days, and thie after a week of unusually warm weather. Roger A. Pryor hag settied in Potersburg to engage in the practice of law. It is thought that the hope of getting to Congreas led to this step. It is said he despaired of Douglas’ receiving the nomination for the Presidency. Tucumonn, Va., June 8, 1859.

Bolts Suing 0. Jen- nings Wise for Libel—Strange Revelations to be Made on the Trial, de. ‘The democracy of Lynchburg and surrounding counties will celebrate their recent hairbreadth escape from defeat on the 18th inst, by an old-fashioned Virginia barbecue, tu which the Hon, Jobn Letcher, Governor elect, will take part. The circumstance from which this jollification move: ment derives its chief Impulse is the triumph of the demo- cracy in the Lynchburg Senatorial district, which has here- tofore been atrongly Know Nothing. As to the result in the State, while it is a democratic sucess, i: is so by 80 small & margin as rather to prove a source of mourning than of joy to the democratic party. They are, however, secking to make the best of it, if only to encourage the party ia the Southern States where elections are now pending: but vo long as figures are intelligible, and a comparison of the result now and in 1855 can be made, the public cannot be biinded to the sad reverses which have overtaken the democracy in the laie election. No member of the party here denies that the reguit is sadly unfavorable. The question is, who is responsible for it? and upon this there are a8 many opinions as we have democrate in Richmond. The majority, however, agree that Letcher’s nomination was the main cause, meanwhile maintaining that other influences were at work to produce this revulsion. It is worthy of notice, in this connection, that few demo- crates throughout the State who wero prominent in so. curing the nomination of Mr. Letcher have eacaped defeat in a contest for any subordinate ofiico before the people. In the case of Wm. M Ambler, of Louiga, who prerided at the Peteraburg Convention, and was tho most promi. nent friend of Mr. Letcher, probably, in the State, we have @ striking proof of the popular diszatisfaction on this head, For several years this Leg t pre reprosented the Louisa Senatorial dietrict, and by his efficiency rendered himself popular to a degree which would seem to defy opposition. The district was largely demoocratic, and upon the score of intellect and efficiency he had vastly the odds of his competitors; yet, with ail these advantages, he was defeated, and by his defeat Hunter has lost his moat zea- Jous friend in the Legisiature. I understand Ambler ac- counts for hisde’eat by saying he was killed off 1a Rich. mond, This, doubtless, méans thai he was defeated through ihe agency of Governor-Wise. The Lynchburg Republican, a democratic paper, bas undertaken to combat Wise’s ‘intervention’ doctrine— not, however, in ita constitutional phase, but its expe- olency. This is the first onslanght on the Govornor’s position, under the arrangement made by the Hunter party f#ome weeks ago, and to which I referred in a former let- ter. The other papers in that interest will probably follow in the same wake forthwith, for, as I am informed, the arrangement contemplated a simul. taneous charge from the whole batch of ne pers in the State favorable to Hunter. Tho inference from this | last long enough to be consolidated, The weather here at preseat is #0 cool | rail £ By u i g es ie ES Es i EB # E grate are probibited, under the pecul dition, and the relations existing aren Lancet and Virginia, from visiting Boston. buying of a hua- band is a novel incident, even here, and it were well that Lay heiresses would imitate the example.

Jea- nings Wise for his attack uy my eee Whew, rae card first appeared, young letorm'ny BO etraig! off and shoot Wise through the bead. He was persuaded against this by more discreet friends, and then resorted to the alternative of an abusive card in retaliation, In the event of Wise deeming yourg Botis worthy of notice, the atter would bave chosen rifles at a short distance, ‘the idea being that Wise, who is a good shot with a pistol, would have no very great advantage with a rifle, Young Botis haviog regarded Wise’s card offensive, the public agree toat it was his duty to have challenged him of having resorted to abuse. John M. Botts is about to suc Wise for libel, and the latter, I understand, bes in reserve @ mass of testi- mony to Fustain allhe has charged, and moro, Siartliog evidence will be produced on the subject of paternity, morals, &c., &o , avd tho list of witoesses will embrace men of cistincrion from ail parts of the Unioa, aud a host of sinall fry politicians in thie city. It will probably be the most wieresting tral ever knowa hero, and the amount of scandal to which, by all accounta, it will give rise will surpass anything heretofore developed in the courts of this commonwealth.

TOW If RETARDS POPULAR REFORM IN EUROPE. (From the Londoa Hera'd, May 26 ) Ou the mectiog of the new Parliament we may safoly epucipate a reform scheme from Lord Jobe Ruckell, con- taining a conriderable extension of the fraachise; from Mr. Bright @ propose! for a greater extensioa still, aud from Mr. fl. Berkeley a renewal of the eternal ba'lot ques tioa. All these resolve themselves into one principle of action—tbet of renering more democratic the various in- Biitutious of the country. It is in vain te point out to the advocates ef this principle that it is wiser to let woil alone, It isin vain to eay that this is the only country ia the world where a map is free to act and epeak as he thinks nd feels Lt is in vain to hint Was well, and would be better, is a rule Which into quagmire leadeth many a fool. Anew theory has sprung up, and we are called upon to eacrifice the substance for the shadow. We might point to the result of the adoption of the democratic principle in neighboring States. We might say that theory is not al- ‘wa)s borne out by practice, and im proof of the assertion we need only refer to the fact that the adoption of the de- mocratic principle to its fullest extent—the exercise of universal suffrage and vote by ballot—led to its total ex- tinction, Democracy ia its widest and most uncontrolled exercwe destroyed the republic of France, and raised upon ig roips an abgolute government. With such facts staring uf in the face there are persons who geck to taken, leap, bot in the dark, for we see the precipice before but which, should we clear it, may only lead us to others of a more fearful character, As the instance of France ia, however, not sufficient to induce them to pause, we refer our democratic friends to their own political El Dorado—the United States of Ame. rita. Here we have the democratic principle in fall bloa- ftom. It may be said that the republic in France did not Tet us take a repub. lic which bas consolidated itecif, ani the age of which is row getting well on foracentary. In France vote by bal lot and universal suffrage destroyed every vestige of liberty; but though the fresdom of specch and the freedom of the press were arnihilated, the people were still left with pro- tection to Uife and property, provided they kept clzar of in- terference with the acts of the government. How stands the cxge in America’ Do ths people enjoy liberty of speech? Let him who imagines that they do attempt in the Southern States to advocate the manumission of the negro.

He will be lucky if be escapes being lynched This, it may be said, is nota fair criterion. You should 0 16 the Northern States. We are willing t accommo- late our theoretic friends; and we will turn to New York, which is perbaps the most civilized State in the Union. We have before us at this moment the description of tho state of affairs in New York, written by a man who resid. ed there for three years. He went thither misled by exag- gerated accounts of travellers who bad only o¥tained a su- perficial view of American life; and although, as he a4. mits, @ republican by profession and conviction, he was goon driven to the cmviction that there is a tyranny more galling, offensive and irresponsible than that of an educated ar istocrocy—the tyranny of an uneducated, unreasoning and clfsh demxray. Toia sixpenny treatise ought to be in the bands of every workiogman in the and we think Mr. Henry Drummond, published it at the desire of the writer, the thanks of the community for carrying out the object of the author in such # way as to ante it generally accessible. We do not propose to deal with more than the political portion, and even with that but slightly, in order to show bow careful we should be, in limine, to avoid doing anything which, in spite of al! our subsequent cflorts to retrace a false step, might terminate in mob law. A deecription is given of what took place when Mr. Bu- chanan was elected Preeident, in 1856. The people, the euthor says, went to the poll to exercise universal suf- frage and vote by ballot. he dominant party stationed a phalonx of rufians near the pill, who asked the voter for whom he intended voting. If he declined to tll, or to take the ticket thrust into his hands, he was forcibly expelled and assaulted, Thus, in New York, thousandsof citizens wore deterred from voting, wad in Baltimore three sepa- rate battles were fought between tho domocrats and Know Nothings with pistols, muskets, aud cannon, Nearly a dozen people lost thelr lives and ecorcs were wounded, It is a common practice, the author ¢eclares, when a party is losing ground, to attack the voting places and ceatroy the bailot boxes. Another plan ig to stuff the ballot boxes with fictitious votes, so tnat occasionally there are more votes than inhabitanta; and ag for bribery it is as common as porsible, and the partica bribed are driven to the poll at from five to ten doliars ahead under the scubriquet of “voting cattie.”” It may be eupposed that all this could be abated by an active magietracy and eflcient police, How is such a magistracy and guch a police to be obtained under a purely do moceratie form of government’ All the officca of state are clective, from the judge down to tho constable, and the author of the work (lls us that coroner, mayor, aldermen, councillors, stret commissioners and heads of police are all dependent on the sweet voices of the reople. The then mayor was a candidate for re-election, and fice were active in canassing for woles in his behalf and. escorting volers to the poll, while keeping back those of the other candidates. Those who refuted to become bis partieans were goaded into resigning their situations, and rowaies indicted for assaulting vovers were liberated or on their ewn recoguizances. With respect en, barroom politicians are the favorite oaa didates, “notorious for the infamy of their lives az gam- blerk, Brothel keepers, emigrant hotel keepers, pug.liats end echemere of all sorts, Ose of the candidater for the Aldermanic office was brougttt up by the police for boing druvk ard aesanitiog an unfortunate, upou tho wages ot whose sin he partly subdsisted; a Schoo! Commissioner en- deayored to seduce one of the schoolmistresses, threat ening her with the loss of her situation if she did not comply, and on Alderman came forward as bail for a German, charged with keeping a hovae of ill faine. The aldermen, when elected, nominay: tho potice- men for their respective wor's, anvject to the approval of the Mayor, and no matter how «ilisient or trustworthy the then occupants may be, oul they mest go to maka room for mep who have voted the winning ticket, and notorious thieves, some 0: thera fresh from sing Sing, are daly installed as ‘proteciors of tne lives and property of the cilizens of Gotha Thig picture is not one to meke a gengiblo man fal! des- ce ely in love wth @emmcratic institutions; we do no} elieve the most rabid chartiat in the country would advocate the five iota if ho thought they would lead to euch results. Our author goes on to siy— ‘The effect of this “ free and enlightened” exercise of the suffrage shows itself in the frightful state of New York. Murders are rarcly found out, and there ate more of them there tham in any great city of Eurepe. Tt isnot safe to walk the strets after darle; people have been. even in the day time; others mur- dered in Brocdway, in the evening, with slung shot; whike he North and Fast rivers are continually receiving the vic- tims who have fallen into the dens of the vilest pollution on rarth. By the wholesale plunder of fande, linda, &o., in every department of ional, State or municipal government, politics have come to be synonymous with chicanery, and the name of republican self government a laughing stock and an excuse to the tyrants of the world for their régime, Englend enjoys a happy medium between absolute power on the one hand and mob law upon the other. From the former we bave emancipated ourselves by a series of glorious struggles; let us not ran from Soylia to Oharybdie, and find in the latter a fate more terrible than that which we have conquered. Whether sonservative, whig, chartlet or republican, the result will be equally ‘important to us all. We only say, reflect before you act. Taink well on what you seo ing around you, and then movement is Hunter will take the non-intervention side, the object being to keep him in a position of antago- nigm to Wige, even though the assumption of such a posi. tion would conflict with all bis ant lents on the subject of Southern rights. The times promise well for a glorious scrimmage. The democracy of Virginia, under the influence of their late reverses, will immediately proceed to organize for the great battle in 1860, I imagine they will not again be caught slumbering, as in the late instance; and J have no doubt the result of this olection will rather benefit than jnjure the progpects of the party for 1860, A succession for many ycara of such triumphs as the domocracy in Virgwia hove achieved horetofere calculated to pro- duce npsthy; wnd fewer only by arch mreyerss as thoy Teuwubty euvuuvered tiny they could be aroused to effl avtion, Tho Kugw Notaings arg ao lene determined y pasett say—for this is after all the only question—will you be governed by enlightened ence or by stolid igno. rance?
