Tux TROUBLE AMONG THE SMALL FRY PargRs ABOUT THE Course or 18 HeRatp.—When the proper time arrives the Herat will not be backward in announcing its pre- ferences on the Presidential question, and our little coun- try cotemporaries, in the meantime, have full permission to continue their speculations on the probable course of this journal. The Rochester Union, which ig a democra- tic stripe between anti-Lecomptonism and Cagger and Cas- sidy soft shell democracy, says:— e Herat of yesterday throws all the long liet of can- didates overboard in a heap, whom it has been supporting by turns for six months, and brings out. r who alone can “save the Union.” Bennett says if the Wooden dele- gation is admitted atCharleston ‘the whole game is lost and the vast stakes and issues which depend upon it.’” He bas been for Wood exclusively up to yesterday. Ben- ett says the kame result will follow the admission of the “How, then,” says he, “is the difi- Ap | he answers:— regular delegation. culty to be met /”” ‘There ts only one way of thet nd disaster, and that is by admitting both aeta of delegates, of rejecting both, and at the game time nomiuat ng for the PresWeney General Wool, of jew Yor! So the Wood organ is now prepared to divideeven! Are our “national” friends ready for the sale? The Schenectady Star has also made a very important discovery, which should not be lost. It says:— The New York Herat now advocates the nomination of General Wool to the Presidency. How. Howst Conn anp THE CHARLESTON CoNVENTION.— A correspondent of the Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist brings to light the following extract from a private letter written by Mr. Secretary Cobb to a gentleman in Augusta, in which be speaks with great frankness respecting his position with regard to the Charleston nomination. He says:— Ican but repeat that my name shall not divide and dis- tract Dd api If there are a sufficient number in the demogratic party of Georgia opposed to my nomination to justify the idea of serious divisions in the party, then I will unconditionally withdraw my name. This is no time for ith, and especially with Southern demo- divisions in the Sout crats, and apy personal sacrifice which I be called upon to make to insure union and harmony sl becheer- as lam personally concerned, a de- fully made. So far monetration of a serious ition to my nomination from the democracy of Georg’a in any shape or form, or from any convention, would end all connection of my name with the nomination of Charleston. CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR IN PENNBYLVANIA.—A Corres- pondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says the contest for Governor in the ranks of the opposition of Pennsylvania has narrowed down to Curtin and Taggart. The vote im the Convention it is said will stand nearly as follows:— Curtin, 86; Taggart, 82; Covode, 18; Howe, 13; Kline, 10; Reeder, 9; Hainos, 5; Calvin, 7; Todd, 3. Whole num- ber, 183; necessary to a choice, 67. Andrew H. Reeder, ex-Governor of Kansas, who in the above caiculation wil receive nine votes, has declined to have his name go be- fore the Convention. A Qusrion.—If the black republicans nominate a man for President who can carry the slave States of Maryland, Miseour! and Kentucky, what will become of New York, Ohio, and the New England States? Tux Kationat Union Party iv New Jensey.—A call bas been issued for a Union party State Convention, to meetin Trenton, New Jersey, on February 22. The call states that the invitation to the opposition in New Jersey by the republican call is sectional, excluding the opposition of the Southern States as well as other opponents of the general government; therefore they are not willing to act under it, The object of the ensuing Convention is to appoint delegates to the National Union Convention about to be held for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President, to organize a Union party in the Siate and to issue an address to the people. Attached to the call are several hundred names, including some prominent Americans. Caurorsia Starz Convenniox.—The Democratic State Convention, for the election of delegates to Charleston, will be beld in Sacramento on the 20th inst. The test for the primary elections was to be as follows:—"Did you vote for a majority of the candidates on the democratis State ticket last year?” A Nsw Doveris Parer.—A newspaper has just made its appearance in New Orleans, under the name of the State Rights Lowisianien. It places the name of Stephen A. Douglas at the head of its editorial columns, as Ks can- didate for the next Presidency. In order to reconcile Douglas’ notions of squatter sovereignty with the opiniend of the South, it aays there ts no superaBundance of slaved im the South, and therefo¥b none to be taken into the Tere ritories.
