The Arkansas banner., 1845-08-20


 suffice for whole four years campaign against the whigs themselves. Nor is their much pains taken in conceaIinr the hostility of the junior against the senior branch ol the brotherhood. The sUnion' tries hard to keep down this family feud, and does its best 10 smother the embers of discord, but 1t Is of very little Use. The flames wiH con staatly keep breaking out, and if the demoe- raey does not before long find itself in as brilliant conilagfatlon as ever lighted up the darkness of proagate party's misdeeds, we are very much and very deeply deceived D
 We care not what IIotspur editor or dis contented politician the New Y ork Courier and Enquirer" quotes in behalf of his vatic- nations. The sCourier' has deceived itseIf or It IS deceiving others. Some little dis content may he heard on the field, like the ehlrplngs of the grasshopper. Some few men may grumble. Some insidious blows may be aimed in His place or in Mai. But It will not all do, to weaken or to overthrow thIs administration. Let inc President and hls cabinet but to their duty-work as they are Workmg-carry out the principles on which they were elected (and we are satisfied such IS their purpose) )-trist themselves to Providence and the people, as they mean to do-and they may defy the secret enemy or the open foe Nothing can touch them :; nothing can defeat them. They are not the men to be ''lrightened from their propriety;'' and theirgood cause, and honest efforts. and their calm but unshrinking energy, will car " them unscathed through the fiery furnace We know them. We know the Whirs.- We suspect where the secret rocks may be found in the course of their navigation; and 'ee kn0lC tte people We despise all the threats of the wings. We defy the whole combination. We know thatMr. Polk wish es to keep the great democratic party united We know that he will spare no honest efforts to preserve it's unity; to allay its sectional or personal jealousies, by the strctest jus tice and equality. We know that he has no motive 10 offend any one; for he has no n- terest to bias his feeling, no selfish designs to promote; that he will do all he possibly, fairly, honorabiy y can, 10 satisfy their leaders, Gas they are called, but so 10 conduct him. self in his high office, to promote noble ends by noble means, that he may throw himself upon the support of the peope-upon the great masses of this lie6 and enlightened people-wth every prospect of obtaining their general and generous support. He fears not3 and none of his friends fear for him. As for us, we hase tried 10 keep the party together; and we will do il still. We have tried ito keep down this family feud and to smotber (the slightest) embars of diseord;22 and we mean to do | still. We have felt more confident of suceess-more confident III our own resourees-becMse We never felt more confident of the justice and the strength of our cause. The difficulties are comparatively slight They are, in lael, not worth estimating, in comparison of what they were but twelve months ago; and the very victory with which our exertion5 were crowned during the past year, only serves to nerve us for new struggles, and if neces- sary, even for boIaer efforts But we know the men with whom we are co-operating- We know them to be men, jealous as we are in the public caHse-devoted to rePHbli- can principles; and We defy all the whigs. aHd all the nalcontents, if there should un- fortunately be few of this description.- One thing we boldly say, that "If Rome falls we will be innocent Harmony and con ciliation justice to all our friends, and a thorough contempt for every precocious at tempt to disturb the country about the sue cession, are the landmarks of our course.- But we will take up this subject tomorrow evening in a more general way.
