UNITED WE STAND, &c.

II is truly painful to see the divisions which
now exist in the Democratic party in this
city. Unless measures are speedily taken to
heal them, we shall most assuredly be de-
feated in the November election. We have
at least a majority of some four or FIVE thou
sand democratic votes in this city, and yet,
ewing to our unhallowed divisions, we shall
be beaten by minority vote. And what rem
ders it more aggravating, those who should
come forward as counsellors and healers of
the divisions, are pursuing course which is
calculated to make the breach wider, and thus
render the opposing parties more hostile to
each other than formerly. They brand each
other with opprobrious epithets, and are doing
all in their power to render each other ridlcu-
lous and contemplate, while the aristocracy
are using their utmost endeavors to keep up
the divisions, knowing that this is the way for
them to succeed in their efforts against us.
We contend that something should be done
to settle, these differences Immediately, and
we sincerely hope that the temperate and dis
Greet of the several divisions will meet and
agree upon some common principles Of union,
which will be acceptable to the whole de-
mocracy of this city. In order to do this we
must " give and take !" no one should obsli-
natey persist in his own peculiar views, or
insist that he is right, and every body else
wrong. Let us not be welded to any par
ticular men or set Of measures. The broad
ground Of democracy is ample enough to en-
close all the friends of the administration, Of
every name. Why then shall we contend for
mere name or a simple form, and exclude
every man from our fellowship, who will not
pronounce orr Shbboleth. There are good
men and true who differ from some of the
measures recommended by the President, who
have no desire either to rule or ruin the de-
mocratic party. Why should they be de-
nounced as bank democrats, traitors and
enemies to the party" There are others
that embrace it in all its parts, and are deter
mined to sustain it; why should they be de-
nounced as loco focos, Jewellers, and agra
rians 7" There is no reason in this; it is all
wrong, very wrong, and should be frowned
upon by every genuine democrat.
The great battle is to be fought again be-
tween the aristocracy and the democracy all
in favor of the principles and measures OF the
former will unite heartily and cordially in their
support and will sacrifice every minor con-
sideration to accomplish their object and
shall we suffer our strength to be frittered
away, and our party scattered to the winds,
merely to crafty some personal dislikes, or
from wish to crafty our hostility to certain
unimpor.ant measures ? We cannot, we will
not believe that this course will be pursued
by the friends of the cause at this important
crisis.
