The Advertiser of yesterday copies an anonymous address, issued we believe somewhere in Greene county or Tuscaloosa county assigning the reasons of the seeding democrats theresbouts, for opposing the nomination of the party. The Advertiser ex. presses no opinion about the personal objections signed b, the boers, for opposing Col. TERRY: but the editor is highly pleased with that part of
 this address which assas the organization of the dem- ocratic party in this State. The addressers speak of their desire "to break down the trammes of the regency drill. to which the democrats of tbi. State have long submitted. to the great deriment of the public interests" &c. and the Advertiser enlarRes upon that topic with great unction He speaks of the democrats of the State having been subject to "odious, corrupt and demoralizlng system of par
 y drl' and, adding one epithet to that of regency
 which the address uses. gives point to the attack which the writers of the address had probably in their thoughts. He calls il an "Albany" regency,
 thus directing the attack upon the politics which pre-
 vail al Albany, and associating the movement with
 that undylng enmity winch fills many bosoms in this State, to the public of New-York. It is in the customary of he familiar catch words of whg policy, for the Advertiser use these ephets to cite prejudice agalnst the democratic party. But in
 committee of protesting democrats, it is something worse than ignorance to apply the epIthss of "regen
 cy" "dictation" to the democratic politics of the State man must have joined that party very re. cenly-so recently 10 have been unab le dsmiss the most unmeanng of the preudices which he learned
 in his assocation with it's enemes-ifhe IS ignorant Of the fact, that in this State there is not only no "regency" or 'dctalion," but in fact general or
 ganzaton at all, not even, that heard oi any system ofcorrespundence or understanding among pub
 lie men, by which public opinion is either influenced or sought to be influenced. There are several dem ocratic associations in various parts of the State, but
 we have doubts whether they know the names of each others officers, or that any commune tons any business whatever, have ever passed between them. Even in the heat and excitement of the last presidential campaign. there was total absence throughout the State, far we know, have ev- or had reason to suppose, any approaching to political organization. The only intelligence Of political events among members of the party then, was by spontaneous and accidental communica- lion among friends, without any previous understand ing. We have in fact. always been without com miltess or any other general system of communica- ton on political subjects. The use of Conventions has grown up as sa means of establishing some con- cert in public matters leading sions, and these have been moved and created by spontaneous public sentiment m the counties. They have been consid- cred necessary means for obtaining an expression of opinion sufficient to guide the party to a unon in the accomplishment of their objects. Heretofore they have been acquiesced in the best mode of certaining the current Of spontaneous public opinion, and uniting the party in one line oI action. This is the whole of what the boilers now call "dctation," the terrible 'regency," which they insist upon must be broken down. They have certainly taken an ef- fsctua way of breaking it down. for it exists only in the confidence which party men have in each other and the masses, and these laboring to de- sroy both Its only authority springs from the which every prudent democrat entertains of the neces sity of mutual understanding among men who have object accomplish. Its rule of authority, is simply the rule, that in political party, in any other association, the asceriained will of the larger number ought prevail, there is end to all har- mony and concert. The only possible penalty that be nficted is that they who refuse 10 aci with the jority, have right to e any longer members of the party, as the name of party contains, by necessary
 implication, the idea of joint action and the surren der of the preferences of the minority that of the majority And when any number Of members refuse acquestence in the decision made for the whole, in the customary manner, there is an end for them of fellowship with the party, or il is itself dissolved There can be no political other assoc Iation upon any condition. than that foint actoa in form, and when that is refused, the seceders must esab- fish some other m which there is a new agreement or there must be two distinct parties or associations. rms IS the common sense view and history of the whole question, and as applied to simple plan as '"a' used in this State, it exposes to rdcule the ex. travagant denunciations of the anonytnou, circular and 'is whig endorsement.
