or Tho Democrat seems TO he annoyed by the
communication from "a Democratic Union Man. :
copied from the Milton Chronicle into the Reeor.
der Of last week. but cnicayors to console him.
self by indulgins the opinion that the writer i.
not ga genuine Democrat" The editor being
judge, and applying only .he south Carolina
tests, il might be so decided. Blu, VIC can assure
the editor that We have heard . good many De-
mocrats express their disapprobaiion Of Mr. Ven.
abes secession doctrines and il ts Is disposed 10
read all such out Of the Democratic church, il
would create painful vacuum in the ranks Of
the faithful" We DO MT know who the au-
thor Of the communication is, but we think il pio-
bable that he could make il appear, by extracts
from the Washington Union, that be is better
Democrat than Mr. yenable; for be 1t known
that Mr.. vensble Is opposed to going into Ma
President and Vice President-in other words,
that he is for splitting up the National Democra-
ey-and therefore cannot he good Democrat
Does our friend at Graham agree with DIR. ven-
ahle's views in this particular! A short time
since, we think. he expressed other sentiments,
and, like the STANDARD, seemed to he of opinion
that the only safety for the country rested with
tho National Democratic party. If the editors
views have not changed on this subject, and he

found that he is not "a genuine Democrat"
The Democrat says, the editors of the Chroni-
Gle and Recorder are making themselves " SUI
premcly ridiculous in their endcavors 10 get up
Democratic opposition to Mr.. Vcnatle. Il may
appear so 10 the editor; but we prefer to encoun-
ter oil the ridicqlc that he and others can heap
upon us, rather than see this District ais-reprc-
scented by Sccessionist And although the edl-
tor may boot at the idea of our voting for Calvin
Graves, or any other Union Democrat, we would
rejnice in an opportunity to do so in opposition
to MIR. Venable. Nay more, we believe that near
lyeycry Wing in the District would heartily sup
poit Mr.. Graves or any other Union Democrat Of
Character aud standing and SO strong is Tie OPP
position to Mr.. Ncnabe's secession doctrine that,
since we wrote the above, we heard :. a genuine
Democrat say that he would vote for Union
Wing in preference 10 him. We. hope our De-
mDcratic Union iriends--who, having the major
iiy in the District, are entitled TO the representa-
tive on plrty issues,-w bring out Mr.. Graves,
or slme other Democrat who is sound on the
question Of the Union. If there il any thing
supremely ridiculous" in this matter, il will be
in having secessionist fosted upon District in
which there is a very large majority Of Union
men. proper effort viii prevent this, and we
trust it will be made.
