The geneaI -aveige 'of ini telligeree among the delegges it very gooca They seem, - imist o themr, to be sharp fellows, and ir point of- ability, the Convention will probably be -a superior body t< the House of Representatives. Ii oerainly is able to exert a more controlling influence over the policy oi the 'country for some time to come which is rather an anomaly in ou institutions. These Conventions are most dangerous bodies, because sc irresponsible, and so irregularly .con stituted. They constitute the . impe rium in imperw, and make partisanm more potent than legislators. The first are the masters, the latter the servants, though it often happens thai both functions are combined in the same individual. Then they, are like two-edged swords, and cut both ways, The time is rapidly approaching, when he who is the most adroit intriguer, will be regarded as the ablest statesman. Look at Cass for instance. In fact, to. listen to the conversations here,. one would suppose that the one thing needful, 'was a. vailability in a candidate and nothing else-the rest "all leather and pru nella." Of course, pending the meet ing of the Conventions no important public matters will be meddled with in either House. The consequence is that private claims and formal bu siness now have some showing. So little has been done in this way, how ever, since the opening of the Session, that a very intelligent member seriously said to- ine yesterday that he saw no possibility of an ad journment until September, unless some greater headway was made. The sessions are becoming perpetual, for a narrow isthmus of recess i.s now left between the adjiurnmaeut and the succeeding session. It is a lucky circumstance that . the quantity of new legislation do . n1o -t keep pace with the extension of the time of sitting. The growth of the country and the extension of theo "area of freedom" of course, must take the responsibility, not the ncmmtbers themselves, who, poor fellows, are always anxious to get h disdainfully disregarding ' Pdollars per diem, which arish's restaurant absorbs a i-;roportion of. From the Charleston Mercury. Presidential Convention. In a recerit of the regular correspondents of the Bal timore Sun, there occurs the follow img passage: "Sou th Carolina will not be repre sented b~y any regulairly appointed delegatimn either of tlme Conventions, but I know thait Gen. Commainder will certainly attend the Democratic Con vention, and assume to represent the State. His vote may be decisive ini the selection of. the nominee--thus exercising himself the whole power of the Convention. If it is quite certain he will go for Gein. Cass, then the question as to the nomination may be considered as already settled. Mr. Calhoun gave his support to the election of Gen. Cass, and, therefore, some1 support from the same quarter may be expected, especially after the explanation given at this session, by Geni. Cass, of thme Nicholson letter. It is understood, however, that South Carolina wuld prefer, among the Northern men, Mr. Dickinson or Mr. Dallas." We know nothing of the authority for the declaration so confidently made, that Gen., Commander will at-tend the Democratic Convention "and assume to represent thme State." We have heard no intimation of such an intention. It is certalinly true, as he says, that South Carolina will appoint no delegate, unless every indication of public sentiment thus far, has been delusive. But there is a very material error in the above, which we desire to correct,. Mr. Calhoun never did support Gen. Cass for the Presidency, but no toriously and warmly opposed his election. The State voted for- Gen. Cass against his opinions and wishes. And it amust further be remembered that she voted for him, not as her choice, but an a choice of evils; and because it was thought he would be compelled to choose counsellors more safe for the South than we ,had any right to hope for from his antagonist. There was neither partiality for Gen. Cass, nor mutch confidence in his principles. There is vastly less now; or rather the last remains of both have been utterly swept awvay. Reference is made to Gen. Cass's recent explanation of his then famous Nicholson letter. How the writer can imagine that this explanation will make himn friends in the South, we are at a loss to conjecture. If he had put the construction on that letter four years ago, which he has recently done in the senate, he could not have got a Southern vote. Every where in the South it was contended, and he was careful not to contradliet it, that his assumption of power on the part of the people of tl:e Territories to establish fundamental laws on the subject of Slavery, wmas neamt only for the people in the set of legally forming themselves into a State. He now assumes for his letter, the con struction which his eneies in the South pmjt uponi it. But Gen. Cass's subsequent career in the Senate has been so marked with demagogueism, equally silly in the form of its manifestatin anmd reckiles of the .jeace 'of the country, that the former indifference and distrust has been chanied to something like -abhorrence -and loathng. :Where is no -arty or fragment of a party i, Sont Carolina, as we fully beHevo, thAt would think it worth the trouble, to dhoose between Gen. Scott and Gen. Cass for the Presidency. They are very much alike,-a couple of selfish egotists, with no moi e principie than' those daughters of the horselech -. *hikh continually cry, give, give! To defend our coun try is tho- true religion, said the heroie Hector. To be President, is the true and full sum of my political principles, say Scott and Cass. What honest man will sacrifice his time and self-respect by attempting to decide which of the two rotten apples is the least disgustingi Declaration of (the Denocratie Canadidates for the Presiden ey for the Comnapromilse. The H9n. Robert. G. Scott, of Richmond, Va. the Democratic Elep or for President in that district, a few days ago, addressed a letter to all the Demnocratic .candidates spoken of for the Presidency, asking their opinion on the Compromise measures, particularly the Fugitive Slave law. Several answers have been returned, the substance of which is thus fin nshed in the New York Herald of Tuesday. Gen. Houston replied, under date of the 21st inst. that lie voted for all the measures embraced in the Compromise bill, severally, and he has since spun no cause to change his views. Ile-declarcs that lie wo'uld 11ot hesi'tvii xtt any bill-impairing the law fi .tho protection of:the'con stitutional rights which guarantees -to the people of the South. the-posmession and enjoyment of their slave property. Gen. Cass writes, under date of the 24th insta' ideclaring his acquiescence in all the.nompromise measures.. He expreses tIda'pinion that it would be the duty ot.the President to veto any bill that weakened or impaired the fulfilment of the constitutional ob ligation to deliver up 'fugitive slaves, as enforced by the Fugitive Slave law. -To declares the ~sacrifices of individual opinion, in opposition to any of the Compromise measures, to be a duty every good citizen owes his country and the preservation of the Union. Judge Douglass also writes under the same date. He adlverts *to his past public career, as showing his opinions as to the compromise measureq, and . says his views have undergone no change. He does not hesitate .o state expressly, that it is the duty of every true American to oppose the repeal or modification of the. fugitive slave law, that would impair the fulfillment Qf. the Con ..t>nie obligaton rn that subtt. Yhr he would not yield the. patronage of' the government to infinence the Legislature on that or any other' sub ject. Col. WV. R. King, of Alabama, writes that he acquiesces in the Compromise. He regards the -fu gitive slave law, not in the light of ordiniary legislation, but that it is to carry out a constitutional guar antee, and the President ought to negative any aet the effect of which would be to impair or. wveaken its effmtminney. D~aniel S..Dickinson, of New York, has replied that lie acquiesces in all the Compromise measuresm; but that he is. not a candidate for the Presidency, having long since cx pressed a prefeurence ihr a distinguished statesman, (Gen. Cass.) 1He considers it .the duty* of the .President to veto any measure whichl. in any way would. impair the cflicncy of the fuugitife slave law. Gen. Rusk has replied, by taking the same decided stand with the foregoing, . but disclaims zgny as pirations for the . Presideney~ He a vows hig .preference fur - General I houston yer-all others. Several dthoir rep~lies have been -written. :. 'TnE RIsNoLPH N Eoaous.-A writer in the Baltimore Patriot, who is trav elling in Ohio, gives this account of the Randolph negroes, who, it will be re memubered, wer6 driven fromu their homes which had been procured for them by the whites : "Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton, is a small and rather dilapi dated -town between -this place and Piqur. Along the canal are a majori ty of the Randolph negroes. It was in the adhjoininig county of Mercer, that the large tract of land was pur chased for their settlemnent, from which they were forcibly ejected by the white inhabitants. The co)ndition of thesd poor creatures is a had commen tary on the miserable policy of eman eip)ating negroes, and allowing them to remain in this country. The majo rity of these once valuable. servants, are now wvorthless beasts upon the community among whom they are lo cated, and often want for tihe commn necessaries of life. I heard several express an ardcnt wish to return to the shores of Roanoke again, where they had plenty, and -did not know what it was to suiffer for want." ' BALTIMORE Co~vENTION.-The Con vention excitement is conmmeneing, and cancusses are being held. A coali tion between General Cass and Mr. Buchanan is talked of.

This papei. contains an~ editorial un er the caiption, Co-operation in Mar. riago in which after giving some re marks of Judges lcoEaL and I3UTEaL before the comnmittee of teventv one1 or the propriety' and necessity of Co-ope ration ini resisting federal aggressions goes on to say, 'the truth is Co-opera tioni was a fraud on some, but not-ma nly. There may be a few whoi were delivered under the impression that Co..operation was looked td as a remle dy. But -the great umass of the party knew well that it was only a hum. b~ug to kill Secession with, and save the State from ruin amnd destruction. One half the Co-operationiist would thaemselves have repudiated it had they suppos there was any reality in it, and that it would lead to dis-union.' That some may have been deceived or that sormb did not understand the purpose fom which Co-operation wa's sought we vill niot deny ; but we do deny thmat-th-, party asked Co-operation for any other purpose thani to dissolve the Union, ai denty that the party would have lrpudiated it if they had become satisfad of its reality. After it was ascertainied that, tihe assistance of the other States could niot be secured, then the niext oiaject was to defeat the secession party, whose purpose was to secede single and alone. The Patriot was willing to have the aid of the Co operation party 4lthoudia humbug in putting down Secessioa ; and had it not been for this hiumbug, ruin and de struction would have been our fate, for the Union hoving pyrty singly.- could never have defeatedithe single Seces sionist. It is amnushg to look back upon the course wiih the Patriot has pursued in referenec to both parties. Last summer when Secession was at its highest, the Pariut omitted no op. portunity to show up Secessionists in all sorts of ways, now &icession is dead it tells Secessonists they were defeat. ed with a iierable humbug-that the party opposell to them did not believe in their own doctrines-ihat it wias all fully. 'We trust now that theUnion is safe, now the appreheusions.ofthe Pa, triot are quieted on that score, it Niill devote itselfto suggesting ind keeping before the people these many impor portant reforms needed in our State Government which the ability and ex perience of it editors renders it most competent to do. WW are indebted .to E. BimNoEn, Jr., of Barnwell, for a copy of his letter addressed to the citizens of ""arnwell, whom he represented in the Conven. tion in relation to the action of said Convention, after considering what the Convention did not do and what the Convention did do, he finds himself not only perfectly satisfied, but, proud of the result. In speaking of that part of the reso*lution unanimously adopted, which declares it inexpedient for South Carolina to secede, he says, "Ino doubt our co-operation friends considered it inexpedient to secede, because they could not get co-operation, and our se cession friends considered it inexpedi ent because a majority of the people lul expressed clearly though indirectly a decided unwillingness to secede." It is enough fbr hiimt that the resolution makes (not co-operation) but expedi ency only an essential clement in the exercise or non-exercise of the right of secession. Why play upon words, af ter asking-the 'eooperation party why they did 'ot cc.e, ask the same ques tion of the secession party and when they answer that it is because a majori ty of the people are against it; go a step further, nd ask the people why they did not-istiuct their delegates in Conventiofi to secede, what would be their answer I they will tell you that it was inexpedient because neither Georgia, Alabania, Mississippi or-any other Southern State would co-operate with this State in resistancee, they have never pretended to give any oth er reason, there can be no difibrence about the true mneaning of the term ex pedient as found in the resolution. Suppose that South Carolina could have controlled the action of the other Southern States-that she could have decided for them as she did for herself, who can doubt but before this time these United States would have been divided.. Who can doubt that the glory of this Union (which is a subject upon which many large and small men of late- deVght. to wch on) -;.ald have fiaded away. We do not! desire that there shall be any ambiguity in the resolution passed by the C'onven tion, but. we desire that all the South. ern States should distinctly understand why South Carolina considered it in expedient to secede. It was because they chose to settle down in submiis sion, and in our judgment necessity .comnpelled hecr to declare that it was inexpedient to secede alone. For the Sumter Banner. Philip S. WVhite again. Mr. Banner : Under this caption permiit mnc to say a word to a comamu niienitioni signed " Truth" (ini the Black River Watch man of the 22d uilt.,) from Ilishiopville; but beftore I do so, let .mc say som'ething as regards the im pression mado upon mny own mind during the time that Mr. WurraIT hans been lecturing in South Carolina, and especially in Sumter District. It sents to wje, -Sir, that thiere exists somewhere ay .abiding, deep-seated, prej ud ice -against the Temperance cause, and against the Sons of Temt perance in particular ; this oppo'ition hiath nmanifested itself by invective spleen, and slander of each and every of the whole fry of little rumocrats in the land, anad it has been ehoed again by those from whom we expected bet ter thingd, and all this ill-will to Tem perance has poured out the vials of its pent up indignation against the saidi Mr. WVurrT. ie came to our State a comparative stranger, and the rumo ecra took the occasion from that fact to yell out the cry of " Abolitionaist," thinking, no doubt, that lhe was sonec poor drifting Yankee itinerant jack-ass of a lecturer, and that they could de-1 mnolish him at once, but they soonI found that they had waked up the wrong passenger, for they. soen dis covered that WhrrE was anything but what they supposed, and found out a that no mian in the United States was < better or mere favxorably known than Pun~ln> S. W arrE. But lo, and behold, just about this state of the caise, oppo sition from another source springs up, the church people are aroused, Wnrra says they drink liquor, (some of them at least,) and then the whole church starts on a perfect stamnpede, and my)I good friend " Truth," from Bishopville, I apprehend belongs to this class-he seems perfectly indignant at the idea, that a member of the church should. be accused of dram-drinkii, M being thick-headed, and insinuates that the Sons about Bishopvilhe Informed Wur-n of the whereabouts o f the op. noit ion to the Order thmre - ery com plimentary indeed to Bishopville Di vision and no doub they will., feel greatly indebted W him. But I have no doubt if Mr. WUra were to say the saie words over again to, a con gregation in Maine, Louisiana, Bliering Straits, or Cape Cod, they would all take it personal; such is the sameness of the opposition to Temperance every where.' He alio States that WHITE hi very vain' in informing the crowd that he had travelled over the world, had seen sights, and all that. Now if my friend " Truth" had reflected a little, and also had a little of the milk of human kindness, he could readily enough have seen WumE's motive in ruiakiig these declarations. WariElad' felt the withering effect of the, increas 4ng opposition to the cause in South Carolina in consequence mainly of his being a stranger, and therefore it is fnot at all strange that lie should.tell the people that h had common sense, had seen the world,. and its lions. But my friend appears to rather deny the charge that members of the church do drink liquor as a beverage, or get drunk, and now, Sir, here we differ. I say they do, aind I further say that you know it, that you are perfectly aware of the fiet, and I will further say that it is a roproach to the name of a chris tian-yea, more, that no christian can use it as a beverage himself, or be the instrument of giving or selling it to another as such and remain a christian one hour. And again, Sir, permit me to say to you, that if you be a christi an with all the kindly feelings inspired by religion, with all the highborn hopes and heavenly aspirations of christianity, if you fel anothers wo, and can weep as a child of God, an heir of the better world, over suffering, bleeding, down-trodden humanity, and hear the mournful cry of widowhood and orphanage, caused by Intenepe rance, both in and out of the church, and that not far of" or distant, but here in Sumnter District. I say, Sir, why is it that you manifest this bitter feeling against the Son of Tempe rance, when you are'perfectly aware that they are almos.t the only people now in existence that even make an effort to oppose this monster vice ? or if you be - no christian, but have the common feelings of a man, a patriot I say if you be- a man and love your country and your hormc how catm g1 stand still and see ily1 the seatiul and blackened ruins ini the march of this life destroying and character blighating sin, and naever put forth one efot tits progress ? and when honesty and firmness enough to cry aloud and spare not, and point conceivingly to thme fihet of its ex istence, that you should rise then in your anger and attempt to stab the Temperance cause, or the Order of the Sonis of Temperanice, through that man; this sir, needs explanation from you either as a man or as a christian. Why is it Sir, that you have not long since been identified with this Orderi And Sir, do you dare to think, or pre tend to say that church people do not get drunk-yea, that preachers, of the Gospel have not frequently beeni drunk and .disgraced themselves and the uhurchi; and then, Sir, attempt to deny all this, anid cover it up. Is this the true policy ? I think not. Let us honestly acknowledge it, throw open every door said window, and let in ifeavens lighat, that all the dark deeds oft dram-drinking christians may be seenm. Pmi.J S.
