WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 'oU, 1861 THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON VENTION This assemblage, which t.,01; place in Philadelphia, on Thursday last, is re ported,, , by some of our citizens, who were present in the capacityst; mere spectators, as having been im posing and formidable der. ii stration. When we consider the distracted state of oar suffering country, and the rapid' ty with which important changes follow one another, we are satisfied that the convention acted wisely in saying as little as possible in regard to platforms. By the time the National Convention meets in Chichago, four months hence, our condition may be very different from what it is. The tame, at present, is sadly out of jo:nt ; by the fourth of July our now rocking and tossing Union, may be on the highway to restoration, or far gone in the thrpes of dessolutiun When our great national [arty shall hay, assembled—through its representatives fro.n all the loyal States,—its joint wisdom and patriot:sm will be able to construct a platform of principles, which will, we hope, be acceptable to a major ity of the American people. The prudence and caution exhibited by the Philadelphia Convention, do not seem to please our Abolition neighbors. As an example the Gazeik, of this city, yesterday was quite feeling in its cen sure, because the convention did not im itate its party by mere bluster against the rebellion. It remarks: While it denounced AIIRAU All L;NCOLN and hl3 Administration of the Government, it had not one word of condemnation of the infernal r( - hellion which has drenched this fair land uit h blood of thousands of our neighbors and friends. causing the tears of widows and orphans to fall like rain, and burdened our children and our children's children with an immense national debt. If the Abolitionists will only show us, after the three years exp erience we have had, that resolutions, full of sound and fury,will put down the rebellion,we shall insist upon the passage of any number ofthem. In the meantime, however,these fussy talkers; these flippant de claimers, whose valor consists in making months at JEFF. DAVIF, ought to know that the day for . talking and resolving down the rebellion depart ed, when Abolitionism prevented a set tlement of our troubles by the Peace Convention, which assembled in Wash ington three years ago. Any drab or scullion can ease his heart by cursing his enemies, but this lip service is not lEnnstrient TO cow. loth formidable and rampant rebollion; and yet it is abcut all the sacrifice which the Gazette patri ots seem willing to make. They belong to the "Sixteenth. Regiment, Pennsyl vania Reserves, - the Juni ness of whose members it is to stay at home to curse "copperheads" and pick up whatever drops from the official table. The Democratic party hold the leaders of the-rebellion and the leaden of Abu litionism alike guilty of our country's troubles. It is they who by twenty-tire years of sectional hatred and agitation, at last succeded in plunging our beloved country in the agonies of dssolti t:on. It is they who now, after three years of bloody conflict, car nage and death, still insist upon their continuance, until their infamous pur poses are accomplished. The Southern leaders are bent upon separation, because a failure of their enterprize would drive them into obscurity or exile ; the Abo litionists are determined to prolong hos tilities, because of an antipathy they bear the Southern people, which feeling will be satisfied with nothing short of the South's subjugation. These two opposing fanaticisms are responsible for our country's present bleeding condition ; it is they who have caused the tears of widows and orphans to flow so copious ly ; it is they who "have burdened our children and our children's children with an immense national debt ;" and it is they who are determined to prolong the struggle, unless the people, by a mighty, effort, entrust our government to the guidance of patriotic men. It is for the people to decide whether our troubles shall be stopped or continued. GEN. NE'CLELLAN 'There appears to be very little doubt but that Gen. 741cCiatu.ex will be as signed Chief in command of the Army Of the Potomac under General GRANT whenever the army is teady to move. This looks as though something is to be done during the spring compaign. With the full confidence of Gen. GRANT, with the unallayed and unalloyed enthusi asm of the soldiers of the gallant army he once commanded, and with the good wishes and blessings of the mass of the people, Gen. ItIcCLELLAN could not fail to record a victory on every battle field. He is still the idol of the army—the fa vorite of the people; and, unchecked and untrammelled by the gronndling schemes of politicians, will yet achieve for the Atnerican people, a retilizat'crt of their fondest hopes—a terminated war and a restored Union. Go where you will among the soldiers of the Army of the Potomac, and hear with Trust reverence--aye, idolatry— the mum' of Antietam's hero is spoken by the battle-scarred veterans who have followed the fortunes of that: army through all its vicissitudes. Go to the soldier heroes of the field of Gettysburg, and hear them say that McCLELI.aN's name it was, borne in shouts upon the battle-breeze, which nerved their arms acid braved their hearts to victory. It is needless to speak of the estitation in which he is held by the people. With the masses his name is still a tcwer of Strength. Gen. ItlcCtEnnals is the man to com mand the Army of the Potomac. Expe times) has prdved that no other Gin eral Ro!,•seasis the confidence and can , Aield the enthusiasm of the soldienk tv so great an extent, and the appointment of MeC1.E1.1..,N to;that important posi. lion, at this time, will he considered, both by the army and the country,7as an eaine , t of vigorous war! , ,Att lure, and a speedy and victdittius reLtni natinn ~f• THE ONE It k nearly four months since the pre , ent miserable Congress assem bled, and during this time it has done nothing but unite about slavery and make spee,dies squinting at -miseegena ftMi —which weans a mixture of the These fanatic.: who control our present national legislation, are not con tent to let slavery die Out as our armies penetrate the States in rebellion; they appear to have mote confidence in the efficacy of resolutions, than they have in vhtmies over the rebel armies. On Monday last Mr. NORTON, of Illi nois, offered a resolation in the House, proposing an ameodment to the Consti tution for the speedy death of slavery; and Mr. STEVENS offered another to the same effect. F,Alo wing this came another resolution from Mr. A , lll EY, 01 Ohio, givin2 . the Hall of the House to the notorious Gyontik Tn6mpsoN. an Eng lish Abolitionist. also 'was, thirty years ago sent td this country to sow the scuts t , l Abolitionism.

So we go. Rebel Generals at Loggerheads Johnston and Pemberton and the Siege of Vicksburg. The Richmond papers publish General Johnston's report of the operations on the Mississippi which resulted in t of Vicksburg, and it appeiirs that there is a contradiction between the state ments of Johnston and Pemberton. The report of the latter was noticed in the Fourth Edit on of the crrnin.z ycz terday. i!cre is NI kit Gin rnl John says "Convinced of the irrt,ossibility of tol lecting a sufficient force to break the iu vestment of Vickst urg. lioultl it 1,, ni pleted—appreciating the difficulty of ex tricating the garrison, and ionvim•ed that Vicksburg and Port Hudson had lost most of their value by the repeated passage of armed vessels and transports, I ordered-the evacuation of both plac:.

They are in the form of a serni-eirde, the outer embankment be ing continuous, almost without -a break, around the city. Inside of this, another line of intrenchments extend around the city with frequent breaks Between the ti,vo is a fine military r,oatl, st) thn it is easy to re enforce any part of the defences at short notice. These fortifications are heavily armed Willi the best artillery. What seems strange to us, at this dis tance, is that these exterpdve fortiti, tions are not nunned be any t onsidura ble force, but the i•it,zens are foil., d into companies, ready at the tap of the drum to proceed to the intrenchments to resist ins asim A large picket f, is stationed outside the lines, mid it is expected if any attacking force approa( h es, that the alarm can he given in sea son for every man to be at his post.

Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, offered the following reso lution: "licsolt,l That the President be requested to make known by public proclamatioit or other wise, to all the country, that w genet el nu, State now in insurrection shall submit itsell to the authority of the Federal government, agile tined in the constitution, all hostility against her shall cease, and buck State shall be protect ed from all external interference with her local laws and institutions, and her people shall be guaranteed the full enjoyment ol all those rights 'which the Federal cunstitul ion gal e them." Against this resolution the adminis tration majority of the House voted in solid column, by which vote they de clared that whenever any State now in insurrection shall submit itself to the authority of the Federal Government. as defined in the constitution, all hostility against her shall NOT cease, and that such State shall NOT be protected from all external interference with her local laws and institutions, and that her pen. ple shall notr he guaranteed the full en joyment of all those rights which the Federal constitution cave them. Sur li was the declaration of the administra tion majority in the House. And what is this declaration in fact? It is a decla ration of war of subjugation against the ,`truth, however willing the South may be to return to her obedience to the con stitution. It is a declaration of war of subversion of both State and Federal constitutions. When will such war and. and what will be its end This is the question which we put to sober and considerate men. FRENONT is expected in Wiihin , ton City to-day. The German organization are preparing to give him hm enthusias tic reception. The President has he• come alarmed at his increasing populari ty, and is desirous of heading him off. kfriead of the President yesterday inti mated to an ardent Fremonter that Lin ciiln was disposed to give him an im portant command. "It is too late; he will not accoPt4t, We intend to make him President," replied the Fremonter. THE POST-:-:ItiTSBTTRG NeWS and General Items.

From the Anßaouri Republican. •.' I :did think that the mixing of the two, races:of people—the white and black- 1 :: for which - It seems that a new, pompous sounding; and . I might add, "highfalu tin" word. "miscegenation,"—has been coined was so degrading to the w bites, so opposed- o deep-seated and lung-ex isting prejudices, so revolting to all re fined feeling, that it could not find advo cates among those claiming to be educa ted, intelligent and refined. But it seems that such is really the came; and that there are some sO I Oliy-st riCketi , fan ,atical and insane as to openly and boldly 'contend for such an amalgamation as beneficial to the human race! Not only are there prejudices against it among the whites, which have exist ed for ages and generations, and will continue to exist as strong as ever, in spite o f all attempts to break it down which form an impassable wall of separ ation between the two races—but such an amalgamation was never contempla ted or intended by the Creator. God intended, not only for two races, white and black, but for the three, white black and red, or copper-colored, to re main separate and distinct, without in termingling, through all time. Had He not so intended, He would not have ere ated them of the three different colors, as He did. Jr is titre that He - made .1 one blood all the nations of the earth, - as to their common origin from Adam through Noah; but not of one color. The - different colors of the human race had their origin, no doubt, in the family of Noah; and' for wise purposes of the Creator in peopling the earth, in con geniality with its different climates, cur hie tic —purposes which Ile he% r intended to be thwarted by the Mixt mix ture of the three races Noah, as is well known to all persons conversant with the Bible, had three sons, whose names, as Anglii ised from the Hebrew, were Silent, Ham, and Japheth. Now, as all Hebrew names have a denoting some peculiarity about the indiviilual —as Esau means as he was a "hairy man," and Jacou "supplanter," as he supplanted Esau in his birth-right —so do these three names have cacti a meaning, in reference to the rulor of the posterity of each one of these hhem, aterininir red, Ham Nacl , and Japheth white; and here the three greet r,ices, or divisions of the human race, no doubt had their origin. Now, in di vidmg the earth, as embracing the great Eastern Contirient, where the human rare had its migin. among these three or their descendants, Shim hail Asia given to him, and Ham had Africa, onil Jap teeth had Europe; each portion or divi sion containing a climate, surface. etc.. peculiarly suited to the those of with it= vitriol] , inmates, from Hi, intense cold of to, in the torrid Leal of Hindustan, Bormah and \lu:ut is an .1 Miiii its itnm r n;r and lofty moon min ranges, its steppes. rte ing liaily suited to the or upper olor the race, tt tlic hito roil the black, tilos:. of Africa, with its in tense tropical climates, immense 1,11111 inn deserts, malarious ts, tc tieing best adapted to the tili , (!.. color( d race: and those of Europe, with its tem peratc and genial climate, undulatinil surface, fertile soil, etc., to the while race As Japheth's portion was much smaller than either of the others his, border, were t,t be enlarged," by the addition lit America as that was the most centiguou , . of all the renappropriaterf regions of the globe; as the climate, surbri e, etc„ t were better adapted to the Nt hilt• tact than to either of the other twa,:and Japhoth's liorders could not have enlarzi in any other way, Australia or New Holland being a large island belcingillii to sate. •, or copper-colored, inhabit a ountry t. which they have no right by prinueti ni tore, according to the - the division the caulk aiming the dis, enidints of Noah," and the per q uisite of eu. h iiir is ion, and are rapidly melting away, and destined ultiin atel .r 11,, t and so will all the - mi.e, la, e t , Si hit h have any of their blood in them, as the Mexicans, and other Similar mixed rile t•-• nn the American continent, whirli hay: Indian ur negro bli od in them But this is not all It has Isten shown.
