THE POSITION OF PARTIES.

The present post on Of parties In this country,
an anomaly IN the history Of republics, On me one
hand we see arrayed Administrations whose doc
4 ines and measures are salutary and wholssohe,
guided by a chief whose whole life has been devoted
"a tie good of his country. All TIE leading princi-
oiples embodied In IFS acts OF put forth Ia the puoe
documents of lis head, those which have ever
actuated the soundest statesmen, and most devoted
patriots OF the land. The position which IS now oc-
cupied by JonS Tyler, aud the measures which are
proposed by him are precisely those which were re-
commended and sustained by Jefferson, Madison,
and Jackson They such as have met the warm
approval aud have uniformly had the sanction Of the
great democratic party from the earliest dawn Of
American freedom. And, despite of all Efforts on
the part Of lis opponents, they such as stu meet
with most hearty response from The bosoms oil nine
teuths OF the democracy Of the country.
But what, let US inquire, Is the poslioDOi some Of
those claiming 10 be the leaders OF t<e democratic
piTy-the patterns par eIeeenoe OF the great RepuO-
ican family Are they found cooperating win the
President and his friends, sustaining those measures
of his administration which are IN accordance WIN
the principles by which they profess TO be governed
UNFOLDING and supporting him IN the war which he
has wsged against the common enemies oil ihelf
country and of the party to which they belong In
word, they found auayed on the side OF The
people 90 Of the great mass Of the democratic party
struggling 10 keep down those common enemies To
their freedom, mammoth bank, high protective Ia
rlii, corporate powers and privileges Or are lhey
condemned federal faction, rallyiDg around Henry
Clay their leader--in these attacks at least-and
opposing With headlong zeal that very administration
whose have caused the downfall OF the most
deadly foes OF the party TO which they profess to be-
long Illuminating is tie acknowledgement yet a
sacred regard for truth compels US TO make 1.-THE
latter position unfortunately that in which the edi
tors OF the Globe and several Of its allies IN diller-
ent parts OF the country, is now 10 be found But
fortunately for the welfare of the country and for the
cause Of free government throughout the world, the
present unnatural and suicidal OF this class OF
politicians meets with but little favor among the
great mass of the democrat party. Whatever may
be the position of its selfconii;uted leaders aud die
tators, the body the rank and file of that party, Is
right upon tins subj Ct and will, sooner or later do
justice TO the talents and virtue the incorruptbe in
Iegrity and rmness Of the who has breasted the
storm, which has been raised TO overwhelm IN one
common ruin, not only himself, but those sacred IN
stitutions which II was made his duty by an
all-wi,e dispensation Of Providence to preside and
project.

From The kent,lekv Yeoman.


1t has occurred to US as somewhat singular, that
certain papers of the Democratic party, and especi.
ally the Richmond Enquirer, studiousy avoid pub
fishing in their columns any Of the numerous public
demonstrations frequently taking place IN different
sections Of the Union in favor of Col. Johnson for
the Presidency. From the high character which the
Enquirer has always maintained as a kind OF pairl-
archa aud imperial custodian OF the rights OF all The
various sections of the great Democratic party OF
the Union different course might have been cX ect-
ed NJ. Richie cannot be unmindiuf that Col John
son is the favorite candidate Of very respectable
portion of the Democracy throughout the Union, and
that he is without doubt the choice OF large ma
jorty of the great Mississippi valley. lie cannot,
moreover, be unobscryant of the growing favor with
which the pretensions of the old Hero entertain
ed 10y the people, and the enthusiastic ardor with
which his nomination is urged in the frequent public
meetings in his favor throughout the Western States.
We would submit 1t TO the venerable editor oil the
Enquirer If these strong numerous, AID imposing de-
monstrations oil the popular sentiment do not merit
respectful notice at his hands
The Democrats Of the West, who have been ac-
customed 10 regard the Richmond Enquirer as the
most venerable and reliable oracle of the party, and
who have looked upon its dispensaions in all matters
involving the rival claims and sentiments Of ITS Varl-
Gus sections, guided by the most rigid and scrupu-
ot mpartiality, regret exceedingly TO perceive IN II
lately what appears 10 them an obvious departure
from this audabe course. We sincerely trust that
the editor of the Enquirer will mediate upon these
suggestions, and while he Is giving place IN his CO.
lumrs 10 the public demonstrations OF the friends of
other candidates vouchsae audience occasionally
to the friends of Johnson The publication in the
Enquirer of the Addresses of The Kentucky Demo
cratic State Convention, and of the st Louis De
mocracy TO the Democrats Of Missouri, would ex-

"TOO MUCH PORK FOR A SHILLING
