Thoughts fOr the Democracy Of this County.

Thoughts for the Democracy Of this County.
There seems TO be no disposition as
get, manifested by the conteEding parties
in the Democratic party of this county,
to restore union and harmony in our ranks
The spirit of opposition is being carried
so far between the opposing sections, that
we are almost compelled to abandon the
hope Of . reconciliation. The feelings of
hostility are carried on, with mere fierce.
ness and anger. than between the Demo
crazy and the Wings.
Whether the Democratic party of this
county, will thus blindly be influenced by
these animosities, is yet to be solved
If the inveteracy of this sectional hatred
continues, and moTs conciliatory and
compromising course IS not pursued, cur
defeat is certain. We must deeply regret
such state of things, as at present exist
among US. Will democrats permit these
personal animosities to jeopardize the in
terest and success of the party?-Or will
the party in the county be sacrificed be-
tween these discordant elements? This
losing sight ofall considerations of regard
for the glorious principles of democracy,
from personal motives, is detrimental to
right and should cease.
As to there being fraud practised in the
Convention, to such degree as to war
rant US in taking grounds in opposition TO
its decisions right contrary to O. former
avowals, we must contend Otherwise
While at the same time we do not pre-.
tend to say that the present convention
system is entirely free from such conse-
quences for we believe that it needs re.
forming so that the will of the people can
be moro generally obtained through them.
But until such reformatiOns shall have ia
ken place, and the party shall have adop-
ted them, we shall support the regular
nominees, without respect to persons.--
We deplore the circumstances which
caused part of the delegates to withdraw
from the convention, and trust that such
scenes will not again occur, but by nc
means can we justify the course they have
subsequently taken.
In assuming the control of this paper,
we avowed that we would endeayor to
make it the organ of the whole Demo
cratic party Of this county, and as con-
sequence, support all regular nominations
as the only means by which we expected
TO see our principles continue in the as
cendancy. Our desire is to secure the
triumph of the democratic party in future
as well as at the coming election. To
this object we will lend our aid. We
know no difference between the two Sec
tions-they are both wrong in measure.
Neither will we recognize the division for
we know the Democratic party only as a
unity, and it is only from such consider
atoms that we shall support the nominees
of the convention, nominated according TO
the usages of the party.
