REPUBLICAN UNITY.

The disastrous effects OF dissentions among
the republican party in New-York, aclmonisR
the republicans of Maryland to cultivate to
wards each other spirit of concord and con-
citation with respect to all public matters. To
be subdued bv tie feder;dists aided By our own
divisions, al crisis when all the energies o
those who are unwilling to succumb to the
injustice and insults of England are required to
DC directed against her, would be deeply hu.
initiating, and, we fear, fatal to the great inter
terests OF the nation We would therefore.
warn the republicans of this state to abstain
from all discussions which, without producing
any beneficial end, may result IN the prosfra;i
on OF the party and of the public veal at the
feet OF violent federal demagogues- are
fully aware that republicans of the most hon
est, independent and enlightened minds, diffcr
IN their opinions ofcertain public men Such
differences must always exist in a party who
are upright and intelligent. They ought TO
be tolerated. They ought not to be suffered
to bend us into that thor y path of contention
which invariably leads 10 the subversion, for
time, ofrepublcsn principles "Every differ
ence in opinion isnot diffes ence in principle"
Ii changes in office be necessary, let the public
voice give moderate, yet firm expression of
the public will and the requisite alterations
must be the result. A temperate DISPLAY of
the popular feeling will effect much more good.
and IN ashorter time, than can possibly be eff
fected by prescription and violent censure
Men who can be persuaded, will not be driven.
Ii some republicans disapprcye particular
acts and conduct of particular men. If o.
theirs approve, II surely behoves both elias
ses to tolerate each other. The impolitc spirit
1t of prescription, says distinguished writer
of party who felt its dire effects in the "reien
OF terror" often multiplies the foes of a good
cause without necessity, and widens breach
Cbetweep members of the same party1 which :.
sound and temperate policy would strive to
heal. II man cannot assent to every measure
of his party, he is abused, and his reputation
slandered perhaps by the very men who ella
NOR most bitterly against the same conduct
IN their opposers. The mans pride and indie
pendence of mind revolt at the indgnity. which
he IS conscious he does not deserve resent
ment stimulates him to vindicate his principles,
and finally to abandon his prosecutors This
mistaken policy, oferecting particular men and
particular system of measures, as idols, and
chastising every man who will not fall down
and worship them, accelerated the overthrow
OF the federal interest :" nor is there any par.
ty or cause, which this species Of ovcrbearinr
persecution would not gradually fritter away
and destroy" These observations, though alb
stract, will be comprehendcd and duly regard
ed by every intelligent republican who consi
ders the ascendaney Of his party as necessary
to preserve the liberties Of the people, the in
tegrity of the union, aud the independence of
the nation on foreign power. American.
