Il i, true that there have been found occasionally
in The Dsmocratc party certain ProssrPtive and In
tolerant individuals, who sndeavored to draw line
Of distinction between the Stste-rights men
and also the Conservatves-after their return 10 the
old Republican fold in l84l AZ, 43, under
the auspices Of Mr. Tyer-and the rest Of the party
These individuals had certain objects to attain which
rendered necessary, as they supposed 10 draw such
line. But being disappointed and defeated in their
hopes-the party having selected standard-bearer
which they had not sdvocated-they have gracefully
bowed 70 the will of the majority, as all good Demo
cr.u should always do. Hence, failing in their
principal object, their prescription Of their temporal
rily estrauged brethren has been voted failure
The perry has decided against them, and they have
not only submitted to its decision, but acknow
lsdsn Of their error, they have cordially frater
nized with those whom they recently opposed, a,
brotheu and equals. Such being the case, no mar
who LEFT the party voluntarily, or was forced to leave
hby the real supposed injuries of few leaders
hesitate to return. The withdrawal Of the Conser
valves and State-rights men caused defeat, and
thoss who drove them out have been rebuked, an,
bsrs of the power to psrpetrste future prescriptions
Thsir return will bring victory back to the party
and the constant and lasting gratitude of their Re
publican brethren, will, at the same time, be an &C
knowlsdgnsnt of the injustice OF past persecution
ana rusrsntee against them in future.
The contest will be party against parfy-Republi
