THE TRUE SPIRIT.

The following seasonable article is extracted from
the Norwich Journal, paper which has been pub,
lished at the county seat Of the wealthy county Of
chenango, New York, by John F. Hubbard, during
the past 30 years. We are informed that lis editor
has always been democrat, and was long in the
Stale Senate The tone ofths article at the present
Time Is exesllent. when il bshooVes every repub-
lican to labor to return demoera tic delegation &c

UNION AND HARMONY.
IL is doubtful whether democrats will again have
itself this fall ofmanifesng their dsinterested and
honest attachment to the democratic party and lis
principles With differences and divisions existing
among democrats IN almost every town and county
10 the State upon one question another, IL would
be singular indeed, If in every instance candidates
were put IN nomination who would satisfy the ex-
peetallons or preferences Of ALI hence there will be
occasion for the exercise on the part Of ooe section
or another, upon whatever question democrats may
DO divided, OF much charity and forbearanee II the
defeat IN the nominating conventions Of particular
interests Is 10 be followed by division al the polls,
and disregard OF the obligations of caucus and con.
ventona acon, II would be better infinitely better
and more to the credit Of the democracy at large,
! that no convention should be held, and no eandi-
dates put in nomination.
We have very decided preferences OF our own,
10 respect to candidates, especially in reference
state nomlnations-and they are honestly, il not
wisely, entertained and such as We do not hesitate
TO ayow-but we can readily sacrifice the n, if need
be- and yield cordial support TO such ticket as
tliriy constituted majority, in a fairly organized
and honestly conducted democratic convention,
may present 10 n the same spirit AMI
mate othefsi H. after the nominations have
been fairly and regularly made the whole party
Will their la Unnd faith nd
win accustomed energy and zeal, we shall succeed
In spite OF wing corruption and falsehood liz is no
excuse for diannon and boiling here in Chenango,
where the democracy have thus far preserved their
united organization that such things have occurred
or are likely 10 occur, m other parts OF the State
What 10 II 10 US, that the democracy OF Oneida, or
Madison, OF Cayusa, or Greene, or Albany, are
divided and will present two tickets at the polls'
We may regret their folly bat should be careful not
10 follow their example. They may serve as
warning, but should not be taken guide. We
have senator, member Of Congress, sheriff. mem
bers ofassemby and coroners 10 elect who ~l
not be affected by the divisions elsewhere. Shall
we not exert ourselves TO secure their success let
other counties do they wilp II the State ticket is
defeated by treaehery and boiling elsewhere the re-
sponslblity will not rest with US.
We have made these remarks, not because we
anticipate any division IN this county among demo-
crats at the polls but for the reason that in the
multiplicity Of causes which may afford to demo-
Gratis here, not less than in other parts Of the State
the pretexts for boiling and disunon, We deem IL
essential, that true democrats should be prepared to
frown down the first attempts to sednee any por.
ton ofthe party from its organization and rs regu.
lsrly nominated candidates. Our only safety in
times like the present, when elements of sirife
and discord are introduced among u.s. is TO adhere
scrupulously TO the established usages and customs
Of the party; TO submit all differences OF opinion 70
the arbitrament ofhonestly conducted cnucuses and
conventions, and faithfully support the regular nom
nations of the party, even IL they do not fully
accord with our preeoneeived preferences and feel
ings. -...
