Again, would ask what is it that gives strength and eont

Let democratic convention in January next, before his first session Is half out thrust him aside, and what is the inevitable conclusion to which he severy other member with whom he may be associated, must come! It Is that he has lost the confidence of his party if not of the people of the State, for it is

I have talked with democrats on the subject and most of them say they desrOus for a nomination of Gov. Drew and Mir. Jchnson-and the only reason urged by any is that MT. Johnson is nota northern or a western man. This objection propose to an- swer by asking such make the objection, if they had Representative from the north, would they expect him to devote all his time and attention the service of the north, while he had taken upon himself the duties of Representing the whole State
 and would not such Representative consider ii q rproach to bc called the Representative of the north while he had taken oath to Represent the whole Statel It is natural for to have sectional prde but ask if any true democrat, would hazard the success of the principles ot democracy, for sectional le. are the north and west united on any one man. l answer no, for there are many aspirants from that portion of the State, all of whom claim to have friends which is perhaps much the cause of their failure heretofore, to get nomination any other, andt is to prevent the confusion of the public mind there elsewhere by presenting too many names, that propose a reunion on our for mer nominees, against whom, know of no great objection from any portion of the Democratic party, and conceive no cause for any the safest ship on the ocean is the which has weathe red the storm | and sailed unharmed. DREw and JOHNSON, have each sustained themselves through former po- litcal storms and have out unhurt if not with more strength ARIST1DES.
