FAMILY JARS"

The Locofoco papers are amusing them
selves under thi, head, as they think, at the ex-
pcnse Of the opposition. The Cincinnati Re-
publican, (Harrison,) they tell us, disclaims
all intention Of abiding by the decision Of a
National convention, unless it is constituted
according to certain principles !, and the Lex
ngton Observer. (Clay,) crticises the course
Of the !" Republican," &c. The Locofocos
are perfectly correct in anticipating their own
success, unless the entire opposition unite
cordially upon one candidate for the Presiden-
cy. But rs for controversy between two or
three newspapers, the Locofocos are misa-
ken il they think the whole question is thereby
to be settled; and even in regard to a contro-
versy between the friends Of the candidates
alluded to. the Locofocos have deceived them
selves. Their wish was father to the thought.
Conflicting views will be harmonized every
sensible man sees that they musl be harmo-
nized. So far as Mr.. Webster is concerned.
we learn that they wiH Be harmonized. The
great mass OF the people who honestly desire
a change of rulers, a just, economical, and
wise administration Of their affairs, will not
suffer the partizans Of any one man to dictate
what the character Of that change shall be,
and how il shall he done Mobs in cities have
no brains; but the real people Of the country,
the true citizens who sustain the republic will
direct the matter honestly, intelIigen,Iy, and
safely. IL the following sentiments from the
Cincinnati Republican guide the conduct Of
that paper, the Locolocos have grossly mis-
represented it. The remarks are sensible,
and such as the opposition might generally
observe with profit.
We labor for the good OF the Wing party; we
know that without union that party is destitute of
strength, and we therefore advocate such a course
as, in the opinion of men Of sound judgment, will
lead to the desired end This union scarcely need
b. said, must be consnmnaled BY the proposed Ma
lional Convention. How important then, that that
body should b. constituted with stern regard for
equity, and that each delegate should be prepared to
vote without reference to his particular Stale, any
fanced instructions. II is highly necessary that the
delegates shuld ia every -pect remain unram nell
led that they may faithfully compare notes and eli
cit facts and then nominate the who will secure
the greatest number Of votes throughout The Uniol.
Ifthey will do this, dicarding all personal prefer
enceS, the ultimate result cinnot b. otherwise than
cheering and glorious. Let the Wings study the
mode in which they may best defeat their opponents
instead OF dividing into factions and attempting to
defeat each other, and we " look ahead with gra-
lifying hope and expectation"
