The Missouri Reporter, Of this morning, holds the
following language the subject Of selecting dele
gates by Districts instead Of States;
The jefferson Inquirer asks il justice TO Col John
sons friends requires the selection Of Delegates 10 The
National Convention by districts We answer, JUS
ce to The Democracy Of the State demands .ho
adoption OF that mode Of action-iustice TO MI va"
Buren's friends we'll those OF Col Johnson
Missouri Reporter.
The District plan will unquestionably be adopted
in this State, aud the Legislative Caucus Of as win
ter entirely repudiated.
The Reporter also contends for the liberty and pro
prety of the friends OF each and every candidate do
ing all they may deem proper in an honorable way
TO advance the interests Of their favorte before the
sitting of the Convention. On this point, II affords
an admirable example to the Richmond Enquirer and
certain other prints, which become impatient and
abusive the moment they discover efforts making Tor
the advancement of other candidates than Mr.. Van
Buren,. There is an extract from the Reporter oil
this morning on this subject, which commend to the
persa Of those patriotic politicians who go for prn-
pies rather than n,en, in thso,y-and reverse the
boosted saying in practice.
We have regretted that some Democratic journals
remarks towards those who preferred different as
prant from the fayori of those indscreet and IN
tolerant editors. We have marked out different
for oursef and shall pursue as strictly as
possible. Before the National Convention has de-
cded who shall be the next candidate of the Demo-
cratic party, shall insist upon the right OF every
one to use all honorable exerions TO procure the
success Of his favore. Our personal preference
will not be permitted so TO warp our judgment as to
induce to assa any of the aspirans, or join IN
auy Dlau To- preyent his friends from being July

On the subject of harmony in the Democratic party,
The Reporter is also sufficiently orthodox and had
been far better for the party, If the Globe and En-
qurer had needed the valuable admontions here put
forth
Harmony is no sooner restored in the Democratic
ranks, between the supporters OF the different Pres-
Dental aspirants than the ndiscrect and over yea
| lous friends of some one hur frebrand into the
camp, and confusion regns once more. Thus in
| New Hampshire the State Convention avoided all
angry debate and dissatisfaction by referring the sub
ect to district conventions. At this, there was no
complaint. But few hot headed individuals assem-
bled Legislative Caucus few weeks subsequently.
and in direct violation Of the marked out for
the parry by the delegates fresh from the people, re-
commended Mr.. Van Buren, In Maine, mino'
rlty Of the delegates TO State Convention, called for
an entirely different purpose, passed resolution ex-
pressing preference for Mr.. Van Buren,, after a
large number of the members had withdrawn The
necessary consequence has been bitter controversy
in those States which Is gradually extending itse
over the Union The Globe, with its usual reckless
ness has plunged into the contest and assaied with
| vehemeDce those presses which have complained OF
| what they considered the unfair action Of the New
| Hampshire Caucus, and the Maine Convention
Missouri Reporter.
| In one thing however, the Reporter gives the En-
quirer credit for more liberalty than " some Demo
crats," in being willing to support Mr. Calhoun if
nominated. 1t hits the immaculate Col. Benton in
this instance he is the hightoned and liberal De-
mocrat who has said he will not support Mr. Calhoun
nor Mr.. Tyler if nominated
The Richmond Enquirer states that it will cheer
fully aid in elevating Mr.. Calhoun to the Presidency
should he be the nominee of the National Conven
ton. There are some Democrats not quite much
devoted TO principle regardless Of men.-Missouri
Reporter.
! | will add another paragraph from the same
source in which the consistency of the Globe is adm-
rably shown off What better can be expected Of
an editor who contemplates making somerset back
again in the ranks of Mr. Clay, than such contempt
bic shifts as these
F. p Blair assaled the Bay State Democrat few
months ago, because that paper revived and publish
ed against David Henshaw the Wing ISLANDERS used
aaaiss, Cana-al Jaat sons Administration in lS26.--
In the Globe Of the 18th instant, that consistent and
discreet organ Of the party speaks of the honest Bay
State Democrat and quotes the very articles which
he condemned recently proof Of its sincere de-
! votion TO Democracy. The tergiyersatons of the
Globe during the past year defy all reasonable ex-
planation Its editor shifts his positions often and
as suddenly as he did when he deserted his relative
| by marriage" American System, and all, and made
his famous somerset into the Democratic ranks-.No.
Reporter.
| Here in Missouri the designs Of Benton and the
Globe are made evident in many ways that they
intend the prostration of the nominee Of the Conven
ton, if he be not Mr. Van Buren, that their treache
| ry has become the common talk Of the people who
arc not ntimidatcd by these and their satellites
! If MIR. Van Buren, is not nominated, Mr.. Benton
loses forever the line Of succession for Is4S 1852
and as both he and Blair the advocates Of
| Mr. Clay, they believe they stand better chance
TO obtain and retain power through his election in
1874, than if Mr.. Tyler, Mr. Calhoun, Col Johnson
| were elected | hope you will keep it before the
people, that the Globe has already said it prefers the
election Of Wing by the people, than Democrat
by the House. One would suppose, first thought,
that said this in repentance Of the participation of
its editor in the celebrated COALITION Of 1926,
between Adams aud Clay, or their friends.
But it is not So 1t is amere peace offering to Mr.
Clay to hull him into forgetfulness Of the past and
dispose him TO offer high inducements for the future
The eyes Of the Democratic party are now upon
them, at least in this quarter you will by the
two extracts below, and | trust you will warn the
Democrats Of the East and North TO watch them
closely
" Or If any other Democrat than Col. Johnsonl is
nominated, we shall be satisfied provided il is done
fairly, but we have idea of seeing any portion Of
the democracy wheedled by means of any secret
Vaccinations that the black wcthes the ranks may
choose TO concoct for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
