Richmond Enquirer, we reiierae the sentiments con
tanned in our paper Of the 2Sih ult and without el,
pressing any preference for either If the Democratic
candidates spoken of for the Presidency, We al
enter protest TO the article OF the Charleston Aer

ton OF the Democratic party sanction the stand take
by the Mercury there be no fellowship with thai
portion. 1t IS not likely that Georgia, Kentucky,
York, or any other State that prefers the Genera!
Ticket system will change il at the deman6 OF any
State; and if such State make threats that she Will
abide by nomination from Convention CONSTITUTED
a majority OF the Democracy in each State shall de-.
iermine, then say that State had better send 10
delegates TO the National Convention.
We cannot believe, that a majority of the oeope Of
South Carolina the friend' of Mr. Calhou sanction
the course pursued by the Charleston Mercury. Ed
tors often speak from their own feelings and wfs
with daggprs dipped in vitriol; but when the calm
BIASED judgment OF the people is brought to bear upr
them, they then speak forth the words of truth az:
soberness.
The cause of Democracy and its principles % he

Ky, or Martin Van Buren, of New York.
1t will not be departing from the neutrality ADORE
indicated, if say that prefer the district system
of electing delegates TO the National Convention
wish that New York had concurred with us that op.
Mon. But we do not condemn the Democracy Of am
State because they good cause to think dfereny
rive rejoice to the Charlottesville JeGersonllr
coming out frankly and trumpet tongued upon To-,
great question. We trust that every Republican P.
per in Virginia, and IN the Union, will come out 10
similar, uneqnvocal spirit. We trust, the Repubc
people will also out. There 10 other way
stop the Ultra friends Of Mr. Calhoun, who so f.
transported by their feelings, TO be precpiiar.
him into a fatal abyss. We hope, Mr.. Calhoun v J
csunteract the movement of the Charleston M.rcur
and the resolutions Of his friends in New York
those friends who have publicly proclaimed, that -"
such fairness the District System Of election for

render our individual preferences BUT WILL ~
WELD THEM OTHERWISE" II Mr. Calhoun csuutl
couneract this mad movement we trust he wall 's,'I
himself out Of their hands 1t is impossible, that
Republican party "yeld" 10 such arrogan; ar
unreasonable demand. Each State has rgh, to ef
her delegates III her own way. THIS is clear-ltl
no State will yield II 10 South Carolina, or any otft
State. "The Charlottesville JefFersenlan says,
pressly, that Colonel Johnson claims the right Tor
Democracy Of each State. He knon, that ano,hf
the distinguished candidates asserts the right vi
have doubt that the other candidates g! the
opinion. Thus, II all the riends OF MIR Calhoun W
the opinen Of the Charleston Mercury and the A-t
York Addresses, Mr.. Calhouns friends will srhI
alone. But we are satisfied with the "Charlo,tesS !
Jeffersonan, that mnj orty of his friends will hfI
sanction such Mos, Of them prefer Dir Ct

They will never sacrifice the unity # their psF'y /

practicable; and when these cool and unimp ssIonee
find, we fear they will soon find that these ultfaa
tizlns hurrying them 10 such excuses We have
apprehension, that they will halt and refuse to p'c'
into the fiery abyss. The October No. Of the "De !
cratic Review, warns the ultra friends II Mr. /. .

danger of attempting to hold District Elections IN ~
