The DEMOCRATIC REVIEW for No
vember has an arttle entitled the Issue al
Stake IN which the following remarks oc-
cur in reference to the next Presidential
election
"For ourselves on the ether hand, it Is
not to be denied that we are this fall in
moral condition, as party, entirely unft
for tue formidable encounter now So njph
at hand. We are, comparatively, as the
crew OF the Chesapeake when she went
INTO her ll-slarred action with the Shan
non let us not disregard the warning of
the example. The fatal influence of the
dIssenlons now distracting us-dissen-
lions about men and not about measures
about persons and not about principles
is uriueni in characters unequirocal enough
on Inc records Of TOO many Of The Gle cioaS
Of the season. II these ale not harmonized
AMI that Thoroughly and soon-we NAV as
well spare ourselves from the outset that
.JrutlesS struggle which wW not haze euen
hope TO cher 1t, and resign ourselves at
once to that inevitable cup of the NORTH
cation and grief of defeat, in whose bitter
draught the worst ingredient will he the
thought that it is by our own hands II was
drugged"
Now that such results have come as the
natural and inevitable consequences OF
the course pursued by the Jackson party
from the Time IL assumed that name, it is
something that It's leaders are able to see
the facts and realities which stare them in
the lace. Let the conslderale men oil that
party look calmly around them for a mo-
meni lei them in memory run over the
career OF The last twelve years or So: let
them consider the principles they started
with under General Jackson; and then
lei them inquire what are the principes
which distinguish them as party now
Have :hey any principles? Is not their
attitude one OF opposition merely ? Is
not their political character one OF mega
tives l hey 60 against every thing hlch
The wings propose, but what do they them
selves otitrl The country ha, suffered,
and something was to he done to restore
It's prosperity. The Wings came into
power and succeeded in establishing :,
Tariff. The otf party had exhausteI all
It's experiments, and none or them did any
good. The Wings have Other measures
which they believe are necessary to the
public welIare-lhev wish to establish
national currency wish to give aid to the
States from the Public Land iund.-These
measures are both opposed, and as4Ae only
resource TO which the party can fly, one
Of the exploded experiments Of an explod-
ed administration is revived. and consli-
tutes in fact the only tangible, definite mea
sure on the other side.
What wonder is it tat there are dissen-
lions in such party 1t cannot be other
wise. Wherever confidence exists among
men, wherever harmony of feeling and
concert Of action are found to distinguish
any association whatever, there is always
some great broad principle which serves
as the bond of union; some principle or
system which can take hold of the mind
and become fixed in the understanding so
that every one may feel confident thai his
belief in it is SO rational that other rightly
disposed minds must believe in it too
But where Nc such general principles are
found where party is banded together
for selfish purposes-there must be mu-
tual dstrust, jealousies, dissentions. Bait.
