In The co Irse of his remarks he said that it hau
been urged that the portion of the party witt
Which he acted were endeavoring to create dls-
union and dlsorganizat'onln The Democratic ranks,
and were tending to throw the election into the
hands OF Mr.. Clay, He denied this assertion un-

General Jackson in 1929 he was denounced by
the Albany Argus and Richmond Enquirer as un.

He alluded % the letter of Mr.. Calhoun, and the

delegates with instruction, which must insure
success, and it is to be hoped that the rest of the
Democratic party will see that union is strength
After some further remarks, Mr.. Green resumed

by the Democratic party, is already made also,
the old reiterated boast of the Richmond Enquirer
that for the Democracy "lhe skies are bright
aud the ridiculous statement of the Globe that
the harmony of the party is perfect"
The true state of things says the STANDARD,
" shows different aspect. All around is coNFU-
SION. 'CHAos HAS COME AGAIN Element after
element OF dlsunion is being developed /; there is
ne harmony; there is no union amongst either
the leaders or the masses"
Where are our accession of strength to come
from! Who has joined us What ,,o,npanv Of

Divisions not only exist among the Democracy
on national questions; but on matters connected
with State pnli'ias.
