The Charleston Convention. The old-lino National Convention meets at Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday next, 23d inst., to decide who shall be their candidate for the Presidency. The latest news from Washington City, tells us that great numbers of delegates have reached that city, and that all is animation and excitement. Douglas stock is said to have declined through adivision ofNew England delegates for Gov. Tauce}r, under thelead ofGen. Whitney, Collector of j.Boston. The Douglas rooms at the National are crowded, & speeches had been .••jnade by Senator Clingman,and Messrs. •(.Hamilton of Texas, Vallandingliam, T.

Butler King of Georgia, Rust of Alabama and others. The fight will go ^bravely on until the nomination is .made. Then Douglas will be turned out on pasture and the northern de-'-mocracy will whip into the support of the southern fire-eating nominee of the

Charleston Convention. The north vrwill swallow the whole thing—wool, candidate and all.

"Douglas or Defeat." The Cincinnati Daily Gazette says that there.is something poculiar in the tone adopted by the DOUGLAS organs all over'the country, in regard to the Charleston nomination. They speak with an explicitness, an exclusiveness, a menacing bravado, in behalf of their favorite, to which we are quite unaccustomed in Democraticjournals during a candidate canvass. Ordinarily, wc may almost say invariably heretofore, they have treated all rival candidates with an extreme delicacy and caution. They have been wont, in expressing their preference, if they ventured so far even, to assert with great vehemence their roadiness to support the regular nominee, whoever he might be, and their entire confidence in succeeding with anybody. Now, all this is changed. Aut Caesar autmdlus—DOUGLAS or certain defeat—is the universal cry. And we may add, the Southern organs manifest just the same exclusive and uncompromising spirit in opposing the nomination of DOUGLAS. It is a war to the knife, which the Douglas and Anti-Douglas organs and political champions are waging.

Our present purpose is not to point out the extreme improbability that a nomination thus urged and thus resisted—were there no other ground of judgment than this—can be carried.— If made, it can only be by reversing all Democratic precedents, and a complete revolution in the tactics of that party. But we wish now to invite a consideration of another bearing of thib state of facts.

Almost all the leading Douglas journals of the country, and nearly every prominent politician of that stamp, have distinctly notified the world that the}'surrender the whole contest, sho'd DOUGLAS fail ofa nomination at Charleston. Let this fact bo put upon record in advance. Let this explicit abandonment of the fight, in the contingency which we deem almost certain to happen, bo treasured up for future use.— Let us see whether these organs will stand by their own constantly repeated asseverations, by cither making only a nominal contcst for GUTHRIE, HUNTER, or whoever else than DOUGLAS is the nominee, or by making an open bolt in favor of the latter, ifrejected at Charleston.

Take as one of the mildest samples, this from the Enquirer of yesterday:

The Republicans are as solicitous and anxious about its [the Charleston Convention's] deliberations as the Democrats. They believe that the Presidential battle of November will, in fact, be fought in the Charleston Convention. If any other than Judge Douglas is selected to bear the Democratic banner, or if the Convention adopts an extreme jlatform upon the subject of slavery, they will go into the contest with high hopes, if not the certainty of success. They are trembling in their shoes at the prospect of the selection of the great Democratic statesman of the West for President, and of the reaffirmation at Charleston of the Cincinnati platform. If the Democratic delegates have that wisdom and sagacity which they have always displayed in similar meetings, they will not hesitate for a moment in their choice of policy.

Again the same paper says: All men know that Judge Douglas can rally the largest force in the Free States under the Democratic flag. His immense popularity there is conceded. The people of the North want him and no other man. If their wishes arc not regarded, the chill of disappointment they will experience will be terrible in the campaign.

The Albany Knickerbocker another DOUGLAS organ, is quoted by the Enquirer as saying: "Richmond & Co. know that Douglas is the only man withwhom the Democracy will hope to succeed. Knowingthis, they will go for hiih to the bitter end, despite of the bargains made at Albany. Hunter, we think, will not be nominated. Douglas may."

Rather say ho ill, for his nomination is a party necessity. A "correspondent and patron" of the Statesman (such is the paper's indorse*ment) says with like significance and plainness in yesterday's issue of the central organs:

I do not know what course others may pursue, but if the rights of Mr. Douglas are not respected, many of his friends will be compelled to consult jxs to their duty under the circumstance

Doug

las can be elected. I believe no other man in the Democratic party can be. No slave codo man SHALL be elected.

Tho organs of the Douglas Democracy, all over the Free States, are constantly reiterating this cry of "Douglas or Defeat," and asserting that their favorite is the only Democrat that can be elected. On the other hand, the Southern Democratic organs are nearly as unanimous and as unreserved in maintaining that "Douglas and Defeat" are inevitably connected. They represent that certain destruction to,, the party's hopes will follow the nomination of DOUGLAS at Charleston. As a specimen from this side, to eountei'balance those from the Euquirer and other Douglas organs, we subjoin the following from the central Democratic organ of Tennessee, the Nashville Union and American, of the 11th inst:

Mr. Douglas will.undoubtedly go into the Convention with far more votes than anv of his rivals." But the South

will: nev&'~pe^it~-:hiii'- nomination, even though he should be able to command the entire strength of the North. If he were otherwise acceptable the South has not the confidence in his availability, which his Northern admirers $oem to possess. His success in some two or three of the Southern States we should regard as, somewhat doubtful. With tho positive opposition which there is to him inside of the Democratic party in tho closely contested free States, we know of none upon which he canroly, except California and Oregon. Even in Illinois the popular vote was against him when he was elcctod United States Senator.— Tho late election in tho. city of his residence, Chicago, would seem to indicate that Black Republicanism is decidedly on the increase in that State.

The Democratic Senators from Indiana, Messrs. Bright and Fitch, are bitterly opposed to him, and should he be the candidate, the consequent lulcowarmness of themselves and their friends would increase the probabilities of defeat in that State. He could not expect to rally very warmly to his support a large number of the Democrats of Pennsylvania, since his warfare with the Administration. Where, then, could ho expectto get a sufficient number of Northern States to secure his election? Every Free State this side of the Rocky Mountains, liac a Black Republican Governor except Rhode Island and Indiana. Wc know that his friends confidently expect his nomination.— They claim a majority of votes for him on the first ballot, and we know of but two or three States that they think Avill vote against him longer than the third ballot. Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee are put down for him on the fourth ballot at the farthest. Such are the calculations of his over-zealous friends.

Which calculatians, the Tennessee organ regards as extremely absurd.

Meantime their buildings will be extended to over one hundred feet in depth: Their legitimate retail trade already amounting to wholesale figures, they are content to ask for nothing more same time parties wishing to buy Goods to sell again, may rest assured that at this House they can be obtained at from 7£ to 20 per cent, cheaper than at any other place.

GEORGIA REPUDIATES DOUGLAS. Whether "the South will bolt at Charleston if Douglas is nominated," remains to bo seen but of one thing we feel very confident, and that is that thousands of true Democrat in Georgia will bolt the nomination of the Convention if Douglas is the nominee. No argument of expediency, nor even apprehension of a Republican triumph, can induce the Democrats of Georgia to endorse Douglas' squatter sovereignty heresy, which, in its practical cffects, would be as fatal to the rights of the South in the Territories, as any doctrine preached by Seward himself. Those Southern journals who have interpreted the action of the late Convention inMillcdgcville, in sending delegates to Charleston uninstructed, as favoring the nomination of Douglas, liavo done injustice to the Convention and to thd Democracy of Georgia.—Savannah News.

WASHINGTON,April 15th.—As a number of the Opposition will pair off with Democratic members who are going to Charleston, and will avail themselves of the arrangementto visittheir homes, it is probable that scarcely a quorum, if so many, will be left hero to attend to the public business.

Daniel A. Brown, who has recently returned from Utah, in a lecture last night refuted tho statement of Mr. Hooper, tho delegate from that Territory, that the Mormons have no coinage of thoir own, and exhibited some of their money which the authorities have forced into circulation.

Mr. Stockton, Chaplain of tho House —the President, Speaker Pennington, and other mombers of Congress being among his numerous auditors, was^ so pointed in his remarks as clearly to imply his strong condemnation of the duello.

'•, "Two weeks from to-day the Democratic National Convention is to meet at Charleston. Grumbling over the locality and tho price of board has pretty generally ceased. The Democracy are reconciling themselves to an unavoidable state of things, to which, in the weakness of their exultant goodnature over the nomination of JAMES BUCHANAN, they rashly committed themselves four years ago. It was a had bargain all around, as they are now fully conscious. "Neither the nomination rior its then supposed very trivial reciprocation in locating of the Convention of this year at Charleston, now appears as it did four years ago to Democratic eyes.— But there is no help for it, though there may be a sharper lookout next time.—• A more utterly inappropriate and absurd place of holding tho Convention could hardly have been selected, among all the respectable sized towns and villages of the Continent, except for just one purpose. That is, to give the ultra fire-eating Democracy the best possible chance to control the nomination. We must hence conclude that this icas the intent of the inventive individual who originated this idea. Charleston is the very home and center of Disunion, Slave-Code Democracy, and readily accessible to all adherents of that faction. "Not contcht with such palpable local advantages, it would seem that, in addition. the landlords (doubtless they

great deal of persua

sion) have been induced to adopt high tariff on all Northern importations. The design appears to be, especially, to effect almost an absolute prohibition of outside DOUGLAS influence. How well this may succeed, ashorttimewillshow. We suspect a pretty strong DOUGLAS force will be on the ground, notwith standing all the peculiarly adverse cir cumstanccs. "Early next week, if not indeed before the close of the present, the tide of travel will begin to set strongly Charleston-ward. .We arc now on the very eve of important events for the various combined yet conflicting factions claiming the Democratic name.— There will bo high times in Convention. A great battle is to be fought over the platform, and another over the candidates. Will the diverse factions hold together until the end, and all acquiescc in the decision of the stronger, as to both these great particulars? Or will the schism of twelve years ago be repeated—on a larger scale, as it must be, if at all? Will the friends of DOUGLAS, who confidently assert that ho willhave. a majority in tho Convention, be satisfied, or at least submissive, if, in that event, he is thrown overboard by tho minority, for want of the customary two-thirds? And will the South be quiet, even then, should a DOUGLAS majority erect a platform after their own liking, for the Southern candidates to stand upon? "These are only some of the more obvious and unavoidable grounds of quarrel, of which there are plenty besides. All will probably bo adjusted somehow —most likely by a double-faced platform, deliberately framed to cheat with, as heretofore, and by selecting candidates whom each really defeated faction will joyfully delude itself by claiming as its own. Then there is the convenient make-weiglit of the Vic« Presidency, to reconcile all troubles over the platform and the Presidency. We have little doubt, as matters now appear, that after a stormy session, and abundance of angry wrangling, the factions will wind up their proceedings with a jubilant love-feast, and go homo indulging highly flattering dreams of opulent spoils, as tempting (and as delusive) as the airy refreshments which mocked tho longing palate of the doomed TAN­

ESCAPE OF A FEMALE CONVICT FROM THE PENITENTARY.—We heard the other day of a very daring escape from the Indiana State Prison, at Jeftersonville, by a girl, which pretty nearly equals the enterprise of the adventurous girl in the Columbus penitentiary, of which the papers gave an account recently. The women's range of cells in our penitentiary is four stories in height, we believe, with grated windows in each story looking into the court yard.— This girl climbed up the highest window as far as she could, the grate bars enabling her to cling to it firmly, and when at the top, she managed in some inexplicable way to fasten the sheet of her bed to the bars of the next window above,

then"

climbed up it to

the top, as she had done with the' first one, and again fastened the sheet to the window above, and thus managed to get to the roof, whence she escaped down a ladder which is used for the guards to mount to the wail with. Her escape was not known till some time after, and she has probably got safely off.—[Ind. Journal.

NEAR LEXINGTON, APRIL 15, '6Q,

MR. EDITOR

I

The people of Kentucky are still haunted with the horrid idea of abolitionism, and every man who does not regard slavery as a good institution, is denounced as an abolitionist, an enemy to the South and her interests nor can they be induced to listen to the true state of tho case, as it regards the northern people. Editors and dishonest, ambitious partizans are the authors of all such evils, and we shall suffer under such evils until the people rise in their might and hurl from place and power all such place-seekers and demagogues, whoso love of spoils is stronger for than their love of country. A mere politician who resorts to trick and traffic for self promotion, is generally a corrupt man and dangerous to our free institutions. Democracy, in my opinion, will swallow the entire South the Opposition will be powerless—and southern Democracy is nothing more nor less than negro slavery. "Cotton is king," say they, and "will become a despot", and cotton, they contend can only be produced by slave labor. That is Democracy in all its length, and breadth, and depth, and height it is the embodiment, the soul, the moving power of Democracy.

Had a very pleasant interview with Gov. Magoffin, who is a warm-hearted gentloman, social and kind, but a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, and of course, slavery is to him the "higher law." He is for John C. Breckinridge for President.

The weather is still cool yesterday the wind was piercing—last night a heavy rain fell, and to-day the winds arc high and cold: Very little planting yet done.

On Sunday night week ago I had the pleasure of hearing a sermon from the Rev. Mr. Hoyt, successor to the Rev. Dr. Win. Breckinridge. Mr. Hoyt is from South Carolina, and although a preacher of tho Gospel, is a regular southern fire-eater. lie is fashionable and accomplished, but his preaching is sophomorean and seems to come more from the lips than the heart. There is none of that holy unction which should characterize the minister of the Gospel Yesterday I listened to the Rev. Mr. Bronk of Lexington, who preaches in the church beneath which repose the bones of that eloquent and holy man of God, the Rev. McChord, whose sermons were characterised by that grand, glowing, lofty style of eloquence which marks those of the immortal Chalmers Mr. Bronk is a j'oung man of consider able promisCt speaks in a full, flowing, graceful style, with great earnestness, but seldom rises to true and stirring eloquence. He makes rather too much effort at display, but he is yet young and unmarried, and such things must be overlooked. He preached from 4th Ps. and 4th vs: "Stand in awo and sin not." And when unfolding with great earnestness the exceeding sinfulness of sinning against the holiness of God, he exclaimed, "sin against the laws and authority of kings, potentates and powers against tho laws of your own physcai being, but never against the holi ness of the Great I Am." The thought flashed across my mind, is not that bordering upon the "higher laio'' doctrine as charged upon the North. The truth is, this higher law is as much preached from the pulpits of the South as from those of the North and when not pointing directly to slavery, is entirely unnoticed. At the close of service the minister announced a communion for the following Sabbath, and that on a certain day of the week the baptism of children would be attended to. Here flashed another thought through my mind. (We can't always control our thoughts.) There are connected with this congregation a large number of the descendants of Ham, whose souls are destined to the same immortality to which the descendants of Japhet are hastening. How many of this unfortunate race will be baptized into the eternal covenant? How many of their parents will be called on to consecrate their offspring, and bring them up in the nurture and admonition of tho Lord? None—no, not one. If their darkened spirits find out the way of life, they arc led therein by some wandering ray from the Son of righteousness the broad and glorious light Avhich shines on the master's life, brightens not on the pathway of the slave. With a darkened mind and a soul bowed down, he must grope his way in a hazy twilight to his final, his eternal homo.

Much to my surpise I have heard Kentuckians expressing an earnest wish for the election of Col. Lane they know the man, and knowthathe would do nothing adverse to the interests of our country but on the contrary would do all in his power to advance her interests, develope all her resources and exalt her in national glory.

Southern politicians now acknowledge that our speaker, Pennington, fills worthily the place he occupies that he is impartial and just to all sections.— Such would be the case in Jfcho election of a Republican President and nothing would be more effectual in calmiug the

troubled waters of our political sea than the election ofa Republican President. The South would then learn that the North feels no disposition to trample upon or violate her rights, that the Republicans would be just to all sections of our common country.— They would then learn that the constitutional rights of all would be far more sacredly guarded, than have been by the so-called Democracy.

Hoping to be at home very soon, I remain, very truly. T. W. F.

lion. John- M. llotts' Views, In a letter written on the 31st July last, Mr. BOTTS, who is named as an Opposition candidate for tho Presidency, used the following language:

I have never favored the acquisition of Territory for the extension of Slavery 1 have never fovored, and never will favor, any system oflegislation for the introduction of Slavery into Territory now free, against the will of the people of tho Territory I am unalterably opposed to the legalization of the African slave trade, and to the repeal of the laws on that subject I believe Congress possesses the solo power of legislation over Slavery in the Territories, and this power of legislation being, in the language of the Supreme Court, absolute and unqualified, Congress could, according to its discretion, constitutionally legislate for or against its introduction I recognize no claim of the institution of Slavery upon the Federal Government, farther than has already been extended to it, by the provision for tho recovery of fugitive slaves, it being a local institution, looking only to the lex loci for protection, for if the Constitution protects it in the Territories where it does not exist, it can do no less in the States where it does not exist the decisions of the Supreme Court I regard as the supreme law of the land, and the political opinions of its Judges, whether expressed on the bench or on the streets, I treat as I do those of other partisans I am against any demand for a Congressional code for the protection of slavery in the Territories.

Of this, the Baltimore Patriot justly says: The intelligent reader will not fail to bo struck with the identity of these views with those of Mr. Clay and Judge Bajtes, as recently made public. Whatever other men may do, the country will never find either Judge Bates or Botts varying a hair's breadth from the sound old Clay doctrines upon the question of slavery extension. And we believe, Mr. Bell and Mr. Crittenden stand upon the same platform, at least wo have no evidence of any change of position on their part.

Washington Correspondence.

WASHINGTON,

Another rumor is that Mr. Pryor had signified his willingness to meet Mr. Potter in common combat, with such weapons as either might choose, outside the frequented walks. These rumors have as yet no foundation in fact, whatever purpose may be intended.— They doubtless led to tho arrest ofMr. Potter yesterday morning. Mr. Pryor has not yet been held to bail, and does not intend to put himself immediately in reach of the authorities. He was in tho city at the Kirkwood House on Friday night with Messrs. Miles and •fceitt.

Mr. Potter had arranged a fortnight ago to go home this week, but will remain in consequence of these reports. His friends do not propose to publish the correspondence now, as the facts are understood by the public they are, however, perfectly willing that the other side should publish it.

Col. Lander called upon Mr. Keitt on Friday night to understand whether his presence as a second of Mr. Potter was any longer necessary in connection with the affair, and was answered it was not.

Many of Mr. Pryor's personal and political friends are of the opinion that he unnecessarily sought this quarrel with Mr. Potter, and having assumed an attitude in the House which was followed by a peremptory challenge, he was bound to accept any weapon.— Others sustain his course tlionghout.
