True Democrat. (Paulding, Miss.) 1845-18??, 1846-02-25

buI IL Is Impossible HOt 10 see tHat, as party,
they are quietly folding their arms, preserving
their strength organizing their forces prepar-
ing for the great struggle which is to come,
and chuckling at the separation of some of our
friends from the measures and nominations of
the administration, or enjoying the temporary
dissentions and divisions which occasionally
appear in our own ranks. 1t is said that
strong and successful panty scarcely ever know
how TO use their power to advantage Prospe-
rity ruins them, unless they use it with wisdom
and moderation. Hence the defeated party are
more closely knit together by their misfortunes;
| they waive all minor differences of opinion,
and more firm unite together They are dis.
posed, too to throw ircbrands into the ranks of
the majority, and kindle discord among them.
Such is the policy and course of the wings Is
there a nominee who is in the least offensive to
small portion Of our party? The wings are
sure to throw their whole weight into the scale
Is the reduction Of the tariff disasteful 10 a mi
norily of the democratic party? The wings are
ready to lend them their aid to dcijatit Is the
notice recommended by the Executive? A GER
tain portion Of the wings may consuItthcir own
wishes upon the subject, but the great mass of
the party obey the peculiar laws Of party oppo-
sil.on, and they rally in resistance Of the mea
sure.
1t becomes the republican party, therefore,
who obtained success By their union, to pre-
serve this union as the means OF retaining it.
Is it not, therefore peculiarly important that we
should all be able to co operate on the Oregon
question? The people are rushing to the sup
rou Of the message, They have adopted its
accommodations with reclamation. We re-
grt, therefore, any division Of opinion upon
this question: but we also seriously dcprecae
any hostility Of feeling which this division Of
opinion is somewhat calculated 10 ongcndcr
among the friends of the administration Some
hasly expressions have been INDUCED perhaps
on both sides For the sake of harmony and
union, it is time to arrest them.
The mass of the democratic party, say we,
must stana together or effect nothing. Most
oflhe wings say to each Other "lot US be quiet,
and await divisions in the ranks Of our oppo.
nents. In the success Of such policy lies our
only hope"
Now, will the democratic party in Congress
run counter 10 the sage advice given by their
comrades out Of Congress? II they shall, in
any violent spirit, and without a disposition to
reflect the will of the people, and to conciliate
each other, the handwriting is on the wall,
Mischief if not ruin, must bcal the whole re-
pubican party
We shall present this subject in other points
of view. These general remarks are sufficient
for the present They are calculated to appeal
to all the republicans to support the measures
Of the administration as far as they properly
can. These measures are so admirable in
themselves, aud SO much approved Of by the
American people as 10 cntille them 10 dispas-
soualo consideration. aud 10 the strongest sup.
port These remarks are calculated, too, to
appeal to the spirit Of union in our party, and
10 arrest that disposition in very few mem.
bers. to dcnouncc each other for any difference
Of opinion. There are other lights in which
he position Of party presents ITSELF which
wc shall notice on asoihor occasion
Bu, wc must wait with some patience, and
link with some federation, too, until events
themselves shall remove all doubts about the
p -si'ron Of men, aud the prospect before US
We conclude. as VIC commenced, with the *.
preston Of the expectation that the Oregon dc.
bale may now BE- terminated in a very few days
mi that with its termination every appearance
1l dscorl 10 our ranks may vanish.
