CoScLUDEp.
! Now, when, in connection with the well know,
character and opposition of Henry Clay; and the in
dlcatons that were brought 10 light during the brie
space OF one mouth when be and his ''Charlies'
possessed merely indirect sway when even then
the attempt was made that an exemption from IN,
guillotinen and deadly prescription should re
qure the requisite mark of /" Uhig from The start
when, we say, in counexon with these facts W,
look at the careful aud indicative wording of the New
YORK resolutions, and The bitterness and yindctiyc
ness displayed IN some Of MIR. Claws recent nubsb
ed letters, it may well be asked what would be IN,
situation OF the minority, with Clay and his friend.
IN full and successful poweri Nav such an event
and such consequences never happen 10 the People
Of our glorious Union.
Having thus gwen full exposition Of the inc
Piles aud men against which are determined IN di

expressed our Partially 10 the principles we desire
10 see predominant over those of our opponents il
remains for US to declare deep anxiety 20 see the
ehtlre hePubhcan army concentrated Into unity OF
action and identity OF object and TO express an opi.
mon for the consideration OF our fellow democrat.
every where, m what way and manner such an essen
tal organization can be most certainly and most eC
ectivey realized. This and TIN, alone Is the mos,
important consideration that can engage the atten
tun Of the truly anxious and sincere drmocratic
voter And az from necessity it becomes propcr that
all efforts at this time to secure that object shoud
be made IN connection with choice of some one a. Inc
Democratic candidate for President at the ensuing
election, we ind accordingly that it truly /, the ali
absorbing question discussed by those at least OF the
Democratic party, who occupy positions which makes
lher act'e participation IN such matters IN great
measure an imperative duty-we mean editor. OF De-
mocraic Journals-nnd that the names Of some half
dozen OF the most distinguished statesmen IN the Re-
publican ranks are placed before the mass of voters
as candidates subject TO the confirmation of a con.
venton Of delegates aud that the particular claims

Now, Tins Is as It should be. And, We would look
forward with cheering anticipation in view of Inc
GROWING victory which ever will result from \ -,
tislac'ory convention organization Of the Democratic
voters, were 1t true, az il should be thai the,e 80
