Ihc Freaent Government.
The present Damocratic Administration
(•ays the Memphis Bulletin and it exprsaaea
our aenticnenla precisely) ia too huay looking
after affeira atCbarleeton t# permit liar.If to
put down rebellion against the Government
in Ohio and MaMachuaett*. Aahtahula
county in Ohio drfie* the power of the
Government to bring John Brown, jr., before
the Ornate Committee. The people of
Meftachuseita rescue Manborn froro the
handa of the United Slate# oflicere, hut the
eyea of the Administration are fixed upon
Charleston and take no notice of either.
I: has all ita powere paralyzed by the chan
cre of the succession. It seems to deem
the deposition ol the apnila of office during
the next four years paramount to every
other consideration. Mr. Buchanan, the
President of the Democratic party only,
• I peers to c*re not three straws for the
rountiy. Everybody ^outsido tho Demo
cratic party, end many inside of It, have
shout as much voice in the government of
this c untry ae thay have in the menage-
merit of the household of the British Queen.
When Charleston has labored, the country
will expect the Administration to attend to
the public huaineee.
W'e very much doubt If half a dozen
sensible men in the whole country will
dispute tlm proposition that this Admin
istration has proven a miserable failure.
Whst hf« it accompliahvd 1 Can any ona
tefl 7 Name the great good it has done.
Has it calmed (he domestic agitations of
the country T Has it aeitlrd the slavery
question 1 it bettered our foreign
affiirs 1 lias it met the approbation of
even the Democratic piny 1 To all these
question* there t* but one answer— No!
The rievrry ablution is more violent now
than win n Buchanan came into office.
The srctiona are not only djvjded into angry
parti*-*, hut the Democratic party itself ia
torn and dismantled lt*e a fortress. This
has oil resulted from Democratic policy.
Will r it D< m rratic policy he the aime if
the nominee at Charleston shall win the
(’resident y I If ‘he slavery excitement bus
grown so formidable under (he two admin-
istrationa ol Pierce and Buchanan, is it not
reasonable to expect that it will grow atill
im r< powerful under another Democratic
adminlstiallon Y Our Government needs

administration would have a wonderful
influence upon Ita health.

A Calculation.
Wo have analyzed and compared, as well
as we could, tho many and conflicting cal
culations of the strength of Douglas in tho
Charleston Convention, and consulted tho
votes already taken on preliminary quea-
tions as a test of the affinities of tho
several delegation*, and we come to the
conclusion that on the first balloting (each
member voting according to hi* individuul
preference, ogrreably to the rule adopted)
the vote will stand nearly thus ; Douglas
170, all others 130. Thia calculation pre
sumes that Douglas will get the vote of
New York on the fnat balloting, but tho
delegate* from that Stale may determine to
cast one or two complimentary votca for
Heymour before going over. Should they
do ao, Douglas’ vole will be 3.7 less, and
that of the opposition 35 greater, than the
above estimate. We have no doubt thul
Douglas will at an early stage of the bal
loting get 176 votes, but 25 more will be
needed to give him two-thirJs, and wc
think it doubtful whether ho can ever com
mand them. It in, however, contrary to
general Democratic precedent to refuse to
nominato a candidate niter bn Ind received
clear tnnjuritf/ of the votes cast. The
defeat of Van Huron in 1844 waa tho only
iceplion, and ho had then taken a position
unacceptable to a majority of tlm party
after the delegate* had been elected—some
of his warmest friends being estranged by
bis Texas letter, and it being impossible for
the party to tnako the Texas question an
iaauo ill tho canvuas with him fur their
leader.
