INTOLERANCE.


There is class of politicians in this coun-
Try, who, like certain ancient people, believe
that I" no good can come out Of Nazareth" and
hence, Notwithstanding the repeated cases which
are brought TO their notice of the triumph OF
truth over error, these over-righteous expounders
of the law, instead of welcoming back the
prodigal sons to the fold of Democracy, inso-
enuy assail not only their character, but Their
motives. 1t was this uncalled for and impru-
dent course which caused the original division
of the great Republican party and leu 'hou
sands of independent men, who dlsdaiheu ~
wear the collar of the dictator OF The great u'ooe
itself 10 form themselves into neutral bands De-
tween the Federalists and ultra Democrats, ana
take the names of " Conservatives, and Stale
Rights men, A retrospective glance from inc
most casual observer Of political events, cannot
but verify The truth OF this remark, Tor we all
know that our present Chief Magistrate, win
Mr.. Calhoun, Mr.. Rives, and numerous others,
were fairly driven from their original positions
because they would not yield up everything 10
The yawning jaws of "THE party" Recent
events, however have led US TO hope that
grand reunion of those so long connected by
principle, would soon take place, and the tone
of moderate men, and Of the press, convinces
ms that il is a contamination easily arrived al,
if interested disc rgdniSers are put down.
And if they are no, put down, we are opposed
TO a reunion. To do this, the odious doctrine
of fighting for the spoils should be irowned upon,
-.
and the great interests of the country alone re-
rarded. for il matters little to the millions OF Re
publcans whether certain editors are or are
not destined TO receive the loaves and hshes.-
Nevertheless. we see occasional instances OF
hungeringn after the crumbs which may, per-
chance, be divided by the success OF one man
or the defeat of another; and this, TOO, is done
with all that seeming spirit Of patriotism which
demagogues know so well how TO practice when
their pockets and the interests OF the country
are placed in the scales. Were we disposed TO
mark some of these creatures, the Globe might
furnish one but, in all charity, we shall not as
the finale will display them in sufficiently glar-
ing colors. But we might remark that their
course is suicidal one. 1t certainly cannot
benefit the Democratic PARTY (par eTceHdnce)
TO refuse the assistance of their ancient allies,
any more than it would have gained Wellington
the battle of Waterloo, if he had rejected The
aid of Butcher. Every one who is at all con-
versant with politics, must know that without
the aid Of our corps de reserve, (lhough II may
be only Corporal's guard" in the late cleo
tons, the chances of success would have been
exceedingly slim nor can it be denied that a
late movement in the premises, secures TO us
the Empire State.
Why, then, this unwise, impoli'ic, unjust
proceeding on the part or certain Democratic
editor? Would he sooner ''reign in Hell, than
serve in Heaven 2" IL really looks something
like it, and we therefore ask, in all kindness his
consideration Of our own motto: ''ln those
things which are essential, UNrrY-in non-es-
senllals Liberty and in all things, CHARITY"
By so doing, he will not only show the sincerity
and purity of his motives, but insure a lasting
success to the Republican cause.
