M. DWINKLIi, Kditph. OKO. T. STOVALL. Amocute Editor. HOME, GA. T1FBBPAY MORNINU, April 8. Who will he Prenldcnt f In (he lirfeent ntnto of t>ol}tleal af fair* this U n question not easily solved. There nre many contingencies upon wliicli Us solution depends. One of those contingencies, nnd perlinps the most' important one, is the action of the charleston Convention; end consider ing how far wide of the mark have heretofore been nil calculations upon tho results of the deliberations of Dem ocratic assemblages, previous to thoir transpiration, we cannot now with any degree of cortninty predict the color of the mouse, whether white or black, that will bo brought forth In that body. II they throw aside in their lumber-room the rickety Cincinnati Platform, os utterly worth loss for any purpose except as building material for a Squatter Sover eignty administration, and reconstruct another with sound constitutional tim bers hewn out and put In proper shape by the Supreme Court; and place upon it the right sort of a Southern man whose principles are not ns changeable as the skin of (ho ehameleon, then tho Dem ocratic nomineo, will meet with but lit tle opposition in tho South—in some Status, und Georgia one of them, none at all, and in others what little there may be, will not be very formida ble. But if on the othorhand the Cincin nati platform is ro-adoptod, as an expo sition of tho principles upon which the Democracy intend to enter the Presi dential canvass; or if with a platform unexceptionable to the Southern peo- pi® they nominate Douglas, or any man known to lie committed to his heresies, then a constitutional Union candidate nominated at Baltimore will receive tho hearty and unanimous support of tho Opposition in tho Southern States, with tho co-operation of a large portion of tho Democracy. If theSouthorn Democratic Congress men and leaders nre not denouncing Datrglas and his doctrines merely to se cure the success of their wing of the party, and are truo to their avowed prin ciples und tho rights of tho South, they will unito with tho Constitutional party which is being organized to carry out thoso principles and defend those rights. 1 n that event we have strong hopes of the olection of our candiduto in the Electoral College; or failing then we will either succeed in tho Houso of ItcpresentAtive* or prevent any other party from doing so. Wo can con trol tho election tliero and Intend to do TWO STEAMBOAT* B HUNT. At a quarter past two, on last Sunday morning, the cry of fire was heard dis mally resounding through our deserted streets, and, men aghast, looked out upon the fearful glare of the pallid light that in awftil grandeur, was dispelling the wild dark ness of the night. We repnred to tho wharf of thoso boats, and tliero found tho steamers Chrroksk and Csuinr*, enveloped in flames—nnd being rapidly consumed the devouring element. Our Informa tion is, that the fire was first discovered by the watchman on tho Cherokee, in the fuol near tho boiler, Tho watch man attempted to pul out tho fire, hut not sucoocding, and before he could arouse nnd get holp to his assistance the whole bow of tho boat was In flames, and it was impossible to extinguish them Tho Calhoun was tied to tho Chero kee on the North side, and, as tliero was a strong wind from the South tho firo swept across the lattor, and soon en veloped the former boat with devouring flames. Capt. Coulter with his littlo son wero sleeping on the Calhoun, and so rapid was the spread of tho Are that after being awakoned they barely had time to escape with their lives. There was but little freight on oitli- er of the boats, yet this littlo, and all the funuturo was burnt with boats, all boing either comphdly consumed or en tirely ruined. The loss in the Chorokee, owned by Caved, We published a few days since a let ter from Penfhld to the Christian /m/ex, signed H. U. T., giving an account of the Uisoovcry of a Cave on the planta tion of Kirk Langford, near that place, containing the fo&ril remains of various animals. Tho Greensboro Planter* Week ly pronounces it an “unmitigated hoax," and says: in L- Kirk Langford is a “Brother” of the by .drinking persuasion, and about the only cave he hna ever explored, bus been some well that needed cleaning “it. We have learned, that Prof. Tucker, of Mercer University, is quito outraged, as he well may be, at tho audacious uso of his initials, by tho person who con tributed this wonderful information to the Index. We publish lielnw an account of a diabolical and partially successful at tempt of a negro woman toriestruy her self littd her three children.

Du*, even if they provo recreant to their professions and their plain duty, the Constitutional Union Candida to will at least carry enough of the Southern States, together with New Jersey nnd perhaps Pennsylvania to defeat the election of the Charleston and Chicago nominees. Then tho eloction will be thrown into tho House, where it will be derided by the veto of States, a minori ty of all the Stutes being necessary to n choice. Tiiore tho Constitutional par ty holds tho balanco of power and they will ovrnco tho same loyalty to tho South by firmly and forover refusing to vote for a Block Republican or a Squat ter Sovereign, as they did in tho elec tion of Spenkor. Thoir candidate or none must bccloctod in the House.— Wo havo littlo hope that the Democra cy will vote for him especially ns the Vico President to be olcctcd by the Sen ate will bo the President of the United States if the House does not tnako choice before the fourth of March fol lowing. From tho two highest candi dates before the people, the Senate by n majority of all tho Senators, chooses tho Vice President, and of course ho will bo a Democrat. If therefore Douglas, or his nan, be nominated at Charleston, then the Democratic nominee for Vico Presi dent will bo the next President of the U ni ted States. We hope therefore that man will be one sound on all the vital questions to the South; and in ordar to secure harmony and success we are inclined to think that he will be such a man. Uo will be offered as on induce ment to the South to vote for the Pres idential Candidate. Of oourso it will he inconsistent to put two mon, holding views upon the question of slavery in the territories diametrically opposed to each other, upon the same ticket as candidates for tho first and second offi ces in the gift of tho peoplo; yet this very inconsistency strengthens our be lief; for inconsistency is the only thing in which Democracy is consistent. What’s the Question f To he or not to be burnt up ? that'* the question. Wo havo had occasion sever al times recently to 6peak of the neces sity in Home for some defence against fire. We had hoped that wb would not so soon have a practical demonstration of this necessity; but it 1ms not taken us by surprise. It is believed, and we have no doubt it is true, that the hulls and machinery, at least, of the Steam boats, Cherokon and Calhoun, could have been saved on last Sunday morn ing if we hnd been provided with a good fire engine. Why havo we not ono ?— Can a good reason bo given t Will our citizens forever sloop over their interests and never bo aroused until liulf tho town is destroyod ?

Tho Charleston Mercury, whose De mocracy and devotipn to tho South will hardly be questioned, fires the following broadside into tho piratical Douglas crafts that are insidiously sailing in our southern waters under the flag of tho Doniooratic party: “How any man mil rail at .Southern men supporting Wiltnot Provisoists, and yet tolerate himself Squatter Sover eignty, is an illogical marvel, quite striking, even amidst tho varieties of tho various politics of these United States. FrecMoilism Inis two expedients to keep tho South out of our Territo ries—Iwtli invented by Democrats.— The NVilmot Proviso, by Wilinot, of Pennsylvania, nnd Squatter Sovereign ty, by Cass. The flint has, as yet, ac complished nothing ; hut tho last— Squatter Sovereignty— lias wrested Cali fornia from the South, nml is now tri-. unipliniit in Kiin-M*, in the eumneipa-1 tion of four hundr« d slaves belonging ' to Southern slaveholders.

Wo agree entirely with tue Richmond ll'%, that if the’Doino- cratic party in the Charleston Conven tion does not distinctly repudiate tho robber-policy ol Squatter Sovereignty, tho Democratic party ran with no pro priety ask the support of a single South ern Whig ill favor of their nominee.— Wo go further, and hesitate not to say, that so far ns the rights of the South in our Territories are concerned, Douglas, with .Splutter Sovereignty, is just as objectionable ns Seward with Wilmot ProvDoisin.

There ah© sat, by open window— Nestled in her 'rocking chair— Flocks of aunliuht falling on her— Lighting up her soft brown hair. Quickly lifted she ono finger, Drew around the scarlet thread, Cauuiit it on that cruel needle. With the hook upon its head. Smiled she softly to herself, there, As she turned’ the glittering mesh. Smiled with lips of pouting scarlet, Ups like cherries, ripe nnd fresh. Dreaming—eyes hair shut, I watched her, Idly watched that graceful head, Thought myself a head of silver, Fastened on a scarlet thread. Thought the naughty hook so shining, Clutched me with remorseless might, Knit me in n maze of stitches, Caught mo fust und held mo tight. Up she east her clear brown eyas then, Kyos so sott, so bright, so true; Spiodme—hlushing.droppod the curtain, Vanished from my eager view. Angered—down I drew my curtain, Burjt I went unto my book— But she carried off that needle Willi iiiv heart upon the hook.
