The Coaligios


J.
The two sections OF the wings in this State, apparently
"a far ssnndsr have after potraced and painful con-
{ersnsn matched up a truce and determined TO pre-
mi q The next election united front TO the democratic
Those who supposed that the adherence to principle
by either faction would prevail over the love OF powe,
and the appetite Tor patronage had not studied aha
rightly appreciated their character. Their course a. ny
last election clearly indicated what II would DC a. wy
next The strong anlagonism OF their fesPee.se,
did not prevent their union upon the Sase I % y.
They then determined. they are now ana ;t
hereafter, that their principles should NOT ineliee wv
their success Whatever may be their pIoiesso, 'nen
practice will be marked BY an M rsssn national sd

Of ths whg party this State There is nothing new in
this policy and is only alluded to now TO remind the
democratic party that they will have 10 meet, they
have hitherto met the undivided strength OF their old
opponents in the approaching election and that they
only hope for from vigorous and united efforts
Il may be asked whether the democratic party are in
condition put forth such efforts Unquesonably they
as j is their duty to do So and it will be egregous folly
Our condition is unlike that of the wings We have
compromise to make with prncples-no creed
to adopt Our political principles are unchanged: they
are what they ever have been and suited to the ext
gences OF the times Our platform is nationals il is based
on the constitution OF the country, and respects the rights

triumphant By placing ourselves on it now, we can
again triumph
II there are any among US, the number is small who
wish change their position. Notwithstanding the past
the democrats OF this State DESTROYS TO he recognised
- members Of and in full communion with, the great
democratic party OF the Union. They adhere in good
faith TO the compromises OF the constitution and ready
to do what ID necessary and proper TO TO each and
every part OF extended country the benefits that
sitution confers upon them. Upon this broad ground
they stand they stood in past conflicts when
coee crowned their ehOrts.
What obstacles, then, interfere with future
harmony! What real cause for division among !!
Should there be any-we hope there none-who are
reluctant to stand prominently before the country ths
approved PLATFORM and sustain its principles in mani,
conflict with their old advereares would address
them the language OF whom they cannot but respect
Though counsel may have very little weight with
such. that the wise admonilons of the late Gov
Wright will arrest their attention, and call them 10 duty
