The consequence is that, the ' Southern States nre no\V divided when they i should he united. This in a great misfor tunc.

This might have been accomplished if the eeVding delegates had rcuaniiied iu the Convention. llow any Union man enn expect good to ;row out of tlio destruction of the only naioual party now in existence in the United bates, is, to liie.

The Black UepuMicnns will he the only gainers bv these factious moveincuts. It inav he the old Whig party will lie revived in the South by the present state of nfhiirj. Hell may carry Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, "^ nnessce, North Carolina, (Jcorgia, Ala ha ina and Louisiana by the division of the Democratic party. Although 1 have always heen a Democrat, ] and have the moat profound regard for Democratic principles, yet 1 have ever had j moral courage enough to stein popular sovereignty. when I saw it was drifting the ship [ f State on breakers and Into whirlpools.

I have had the consolation of seeing the opposing majorities ultimately acquiesce in the course 1 desired to he pursued 1 have no doubt 1 shall have t his satisfaction once more. And the time is not far distant when the breaking up of the National Democracy, and the secession of the Southern delegates from the Charleston Convention will be regarded by all thinking men as n most unwise and foolish act, productive of not!Aug hut faction and strife, mischief and defeat, inglorious submission or revolutionary uhortion 1 H. i\ l'Eitur.
