The conreuttonof the -22i w ill cme together just where they parteI 011 the platform of last June. Only thcee who are willing to bland on that platform can be properly recognized as mem ber!. " ---''''- ; f - . :" ; ,We observe, al that tine impression gceina to prevail that the coming convention is to make lamination of candidates fr the PreHidfiicy and' Vice Presidency. This is uot the understanding of the South. There, has bewn almost an unan imous expression of judgment iu favor of a post ponement of nominations. The reasons inducing this are of the highent character. We think- it of the utmost importance that Xrth Carolina should be represented by the a b'est men of her delegation and we particularly urge that the gentlemen elected to represent the districts shall be in attendance. The future of the American party depends upon the action to be taken in the convention now about to "meet. If the North should be sufficiently strong there to break up the Platform of last June, Southern and National Americans, w e suppose, ill have no resort left them but to Jeclare a dissolution of the party, and to unite upon whatever candidate inav commaml tlieir confidence' as an upright statesman and lval defender of the Constitution .nd the: Union.'" g7 We suppose no man in his senses is dis approved at tbe frantic how- still kept up by th loeofoe presses at the South over the- elec tion of Banks. Being the guilty party themselves, it is perfectly natural in them to make a great noise, and try to fix the re possibility upon the j shout Jt-rs of those who are innocent. Jn deter- 1 mining the question of responsibility, the ' ' final vote ia by oomeana the only thing te be inquired into. But it is necessary to ascertain tnrougn w hce particular agency the plurality rule waej adopted and adopted, loo, with a full consf ious- r nesa of the fact that Banks would almost unavoid ably be chosen under rt, If, then, we are not at fault in our recollection, not a single National American voted fr the plurality rule,-while it waa sustained- by farre professed national Demo crats that is, 'by twelve of the immortal seven-tv-four, who uniformly supported Richardson! Not oulv so, but it waa presented by Southern Democrats, who warmly urged its adoption, knowiug, necessarily, that it womld result in Ranks' election ! These being the facU of the case, we ask again, in all sincerity and candor, upon wltom does the responsibility test 7 ' And to thie question,- there caa be but one reply, if any faith ia to be put in figures. It rests upon the Democrats and what is mora and worro, it rest almost entirely upon Souther Democrats !

Tbe bad practice of anticipating; revenue by bor rowing money is common to alt and, as will be seen in tbe table, only some of tjae less important have escaped the ever-growing evil. Within the last twenty years tbe debt of Austria has in creased more than three-fold; and now the French Emperor is borrowing largely to pay the current expenses of the war in which ha and the British Government are engaged with Russia. "The Governments of Spain and Greece are virtually bankrupts, being neither Able nor wil ling to pay either principal or interest of their large debts. Norway, on the contrary, the poor est country in Europe, has set the bright exam ple of paying off that portion of the Danish debt with which she -was burdened when separated from that monarchy iu 1814, while the Danish portion has gone on increasing. The Ottoman Hultan has only escaped by. virtue pf hia want of credit. Their annual revenues and the amount of their debts are stated iu the above table in the nearest round numbers and 1 in sterling money, which will give a sufficiently near approximation to sums that are constantly varying and in many instances not certainly known.

THE PACIFIC. f There is the most serions anxiety felt - about this long over-due steamer. She' 'sailed from I Liverpool on her regular day, (Jan. 23.) and has consequently been ;ot now twenty-three days. The Pacific, we believe, has- the reputation of bciug the fastest of the Collins line, and has made, if wa mistake not, the quickest trip across tbe Atlantic on record.. Nve is not in her at presont, having retired, aa we understand, from the -sea, and betaken himself to the mere quiet enjoyments of "life ashore.nM The :Atlante has bo doubt been in a tenipestuoua state for tbe last few weeks, and it is probable that this noble ves sel has been disabled by some accident to her ' machinery, We trust that Inothiug . worse has befallen her than a casualty like that .above supposed more especially do we trust that we shall have no occasion in her case - to chronicle another of those heart-reudiug ocean catastrophes which have from time to time anguished the heart of the nation. It ia one of the evils attendant upon the migration of foreigners to , our shores, that though they may forswear their allegiance to any trans Atlantic or trans-Pacific potentate, they yet cling to their original nationality, and, under the guise of American citizens, are prone to encourage prc jects which are calculated to bring into discredit the American name. That men . of Irish of of German birth among us should prefer to mingle with their own countrymen, ia . natural enough, and the sentiment which impels them to do so is worthy of all respect ; but when they band them selves together in secret associations, either to promote insurrection beyond sea, or to exert a sinister iuflueace upon tie policy of the country which has extended to them the same rights and privileges as are enjoyed: by the natives of the soil, they violate their oath of naturalization, and resume thereby their original condition as alien.
