The following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, the unfortunate dissensions which
have separated, and continue to keep asunder
that portion Of the democratic family in the sena-
toria district with whom we have the honor to
act, demand at our hands an expression such as
will have tendency Ia produce that harmony
and union so much desired, aud under which, in
all time past, We have been signally successful
therefore,
Resoired, That we believe it to be the duty OF
every democrat, and more especially under exist
ing circumstances, to act upon the principal OF
confessional spirit that, at no time, can be safe
y rcpressed, and at present highly becoming.
/ RssOfred, That we place entire confidence in The
honesty and ability Of GE". w. ARMSTRONG to
serve the democracy in the next legislature, and

tons are answered, we most cheerfully respond TO

OCoNNEn as a candidate for representative to
the state legislature.

the success and welfare of the party, in the least
degree, demand it.

made and The principles laid down, we fully APP
preciate the Importance of gaining the acquies-
ccncc of gallant Kendall, and would, therefore
appeal TO our brethren of Kendall for their sup
port, should the sentiments expressed and selec-
tons made not be repugn,nt to their minds; but
would, nevertheless recommend TO our junior
sister, with whom our feelings and interests are
in many respects identified, TO give an expression
of their sentiments in a public manner. that We

they may, provided they depart not from the de-
mocratic greedy we most solemnly assure our sis
Ter Kendall that we are ready, by our actions, TO
/ give them effect.
! ReSoircd, That the course pursucd by the Hon.
John Wentworth, while member of congress for
the fourth congressional district, meets with our
entire appreciation, that we have all confidence in
