on sectional feeling, man worship, aoi else that contravenes the higher and
 aspirations so sacred to our princips, D! our cause. Let the convention always under all circumstances, bring out far men of good, unexceptionable characte whom is the embodiment of our prjn,, and then, as the Turk his oath, the nee1 the pole, let us observe with religiou unerring strictness, the rule which pi, all parties the consequences and udlbN this organization, and the triumph Of principles. Helena Jou1, ACQUIESENCE IN THE DECISIoNs
 THE MAJORITY.
 Aequiesence in the decisions of the m, ty, is the only safe guard of republicm stitutions. No democrat-really and such-will oppose this conservative prin Discard 1t, and there can be no such tbH concert of action, united and successful A in cause confessedly glorious and hononI
 All that democracy has achieved for elevation of man-for the principle of On ity-for the cause of liberty and justice been done by the surrender of private tialities--the sacrifice of personal pred l tions and interests. This has been not T, a bond of union and strength, but also sure hamburger of success. The individI efforts of a people accomplish but little J| public character; combined and united, N accomplish all that is praiseworthy and sirable.
 If good and acceptable nominations are made, it is owing solely to the culpable glect of the party making them. It vi saying of Franklin which has passed ii. proverb, that l" if you would be well se serue yourseB" If the members of neglect to attend the primary meetings interest themselves in what most nearly cerns their principles and interests, how they expect good and acceptable nomina will be made, or if such be unexceptionl how are they to be satisfied of the fact tur| they make themselves acquainted with several candidates' It is utterly imposI to .pack convention'' unless the memI of party are accessories 10 the fact. | may be regarded by some as bold langu| but 1t IS strictly true. If all the membeI party ill given town attend the pri meetings, the selection of delegates in acc ance with the will of the majority is as tain as that effect follows cause. And dI convention of delegates so selected will II nominations acceptable to the whole pI ia equally true.
 The difficulty lies in the indolence o nature, and our unwillingness to think act rightly on questions of vital importi to the public. Were we as ready to ac we are prone to find fault with the actiol others, the evils which constitute the thens of our complaints would not have cured. Is 1t wise, then, to become indig| and censorious, when we have ministerel the cause of our dissatisfaction
 Primary meetings and county conyent| cannot la ke place in secret. Any one sirous of discharging his whole duty, VI not neglect the one, nor disregard the dd berate action of theother. It is as much Il duty of every democrat to support the reg1 lar nominations of his party, as 1t is toma to the defence of his country when inva by foreign foe. And he who, professms be friend to the democratic party, bub1 or opposes the ticket nominated by aN lar democratic convention, is, in our jul ment, ssrlpe for treason, stratagem and spoil
