 DIALOGUE.
 CHARLEY, Tom, what you have to say now, about your friend Yancey having been an Agent of the democracy at Baltimore Some Lawyer writes in the "Guard;" that if the principal is satisfied, the agent need not make fuss about it.
 ToM. A lawyer. Charley, always makes out his own side of the case--he is paid to do that; and does not know whit of law, that makes against that side Thus you see, in that bit of an editorial, the attorney made one sided case of it, Now every body knows that every case has two sides at least. CHARLEY. That is true; but certainly if MT. Yancey was but an agent at Balti-' timore, even if things were not done al- together right there, he has no right to complain when his principal-says he'll stand by it!
 ToM. Certainly not, my dear fellow, if the case were just as you state it.
 CHARLEY. In what does it differ!
 ToM. In ths--Mr. Yancey, was agent and principal too, at Baltimore was a democratic voter in Alamama, and vot- ed to send deligates to the State Conven- ton, in the meeting of the democracy of his county. He was a member of the State Convention, which sent delegates to Baltimore, and which soIemnly pledged
 its members to each other, and the coun- try to adhere to certain line of conduct, which they prescribed-and which they instructed their delegates to Baltimore to act by in that body, MT. Yancey was unanimously chosen as one of the dele gates. He went to Baltimore and in per. suing the instructions given was voted down. He came home and told his broth CT democrats what had been done.
 CHARLEY. And they all said "well-It is not altogether right, but we are con- tent Nov why should MT. Yancey de- nounce the act they are content withl
 ToM. Because being one of the prin- cipals who gave the instructions fo the delegates, he is not satisfied. Seven out of nine delegates violated these instruc- tions. Because being one of tue principals ,cho took the pledge 'under no political ne- cessity whatever to vote for man who believes, that shareholders can be excluded from our territories by any power, save Convention which meets to frame State Constitution for such territory, he connot De content, without violating that pledge. - Because being citizen of ''the country' to whom as well as to "each other that pledge was made, has right to demand its fullfllment, and to complain of it's in- fraction. Because having been dele- gate, who pursued his instructions, honest ly believing that those who gave them would adhere to their pledge, he has right to demand that he be supported in obeying them. To abandon him, after taking the positions we assigned him, is bad faith.
 CHARLEY. Alter all then, the lawyer who wrote in the "Guard'' made false issue. It is not a matter of principal and agent, but of difference between mensbers of a partnership.
 ToM. That is the yiews Mr. Yanceg was one of the partners al Baltiaore-. selected by his brother partners to go and do the best ho eosld fer the concern, alter entering into certain articles ofagree. ment with each other. He went and now the balance want to repudidate his acts and leave 1t all on hts shoulders, instead of their bearing part,
 CHARLEY. We'll, Tona they may say what they please, but the situation of Yan- cey at this time is really far the most en, viahle of the two. He hes done kis dNr D.
