As slr Flournoy said, would have our head cnt oil
before we would sanction any thng like "dag'ace We
have honestly and earnestly advocated what We believed 10
be the trnthand 1t Is not the character oil sghas 10
shrink from an uvowal Of honest convictions oi the

On the other hand regret to the Wing Of yesterday
assuming for s party advantage IN the passage Oh
these resolutions Clearly and unequivocay defining The po
son of Virginia That paper says: Justce requires US
10 say that the of placing Virginia in her proper posi-
ion belongs essentially the Wing party OF the Legsa-
t:re."
The Wing goes Into elaborate review OF the movements
In our Legislature argues that the Wings took the start
and that but for the impulse their action the Democrats
would have imidy shirked the whole question. adds:
Surely all the circumstances seem indicate that il was
not the purpose of the dominant party OF the Legislature 10
take the subject; and II this be So our prnPo
son Is made out that the er, of having placed virginia
in her present patTlOuc position So
promise and Of devotion glorious unon belongs es
| pecially to the Wings of The General Assembly"
This view have already fully reuted upon the basis OF
our own knowledge of the intentions OF "the dominant
party' We shall no, words upon that point
but we deem it our duty once refer TO the fact that
tho Democratic members, not only of the Legislature ou OF
the Convention fully able speak the sentiments of their
constituents every portion of the Stale long since took
ground and clearly defined their position this vexed qucs-
ton Their resolutions have received the sanction OF tic
Democracy North and South They present basis OF ac-
on which all patriotic lovers of the Constitution and
the Union have firmly planted themselves. They have won
the appreciation only of the moderate men at the South,
but of many Journals which have been most decided in their
various plans of PERSISTENCE" For instance the Taahas
see Fordian republshes and endorses the following article
from the Milcdgevie (Ga.) Federal Union
DEMOCRACY VS.. WHIaoERY.-We publish to-day the De-
nocrac platform adopted by the old Dominion. II en5a-
dies The correct doctrine and in opinion he only true
mother Of the distinguished disciples of the Democa-
creed has taken The lea-Geore Democratic to the core
as she this tme will epdate all the dogmas OF the new
school oil DOCTORS and rally again unde the CID kepuo!cah
l banner.
The Wing party this making every exertion
carry the State in the fall elections 1t docs not oprny
publish POLICY world under false petences is
trying palm of its pit .cputated principles upon the M
suspecng There ac bu! two parties Georgia at THIS day
tho Democratic end Wing parties. The LITTER may iepl,
date and end.avoT convince people that Old
lines o5leraed-but the Miasikc urc visible
above the deceul draprry that covers its designs.
Democrats hold in your hands the political control Of
Democratic administration The Wins would gladly change
this stuc of things They and feel their overwhelming
defea-they have bright future nce to stoadast main
tanance .! their old pncpes-al is lost 10 them unless they

ga il is payng possum; il boasts strength and its
leaders are Furnishing their for the contest of So
dence OF the eXsence OF the party ana such would be the
case hcreif policy did not dictate silence Let the Demo-
cratic party party stand aoof from all alliances with
Wings Let it unite upon its time honored principles and
The knel OF Whiggery is sounded.
Again the Tuscaloosa Aa Observer repubishes
lutons Of the Virginia Democracy which understands
ro adopt the old Republican PLATFORM and declare par
pose abide by what called the compromise n;er
wthou; approving disappearing them. Thus viewing
resolutions accept The invitation rendered the De-
nrcracy Of the Unon and will uci!e, hitherto have
done upon these well defined and principles
The eighth resolution must strike every Democrat as c-
nentiy truthful and make him feel lus pride ,a; his pav
The exponent of liberal and enlarged principles essentially
productive of human happiness. We uTego temp

Ii viii here be seen that i, the Democracy Of Virginia
have taken the lead, and whose words OF prudence
wisdom have favcaby impressed many at the South, who
nigh, otherwise have been tempted fly of into
measures In guarding the union Of the States they have
with less fidelity sought TO protect the South nuo
W against the oveshadowing influence OF central "ccnso
dution" They have sought TO save, not only the Union
but the rights of the States Let us, therefore, hear
more OF the Democracy in the Legislature being spG:ed
or forced to take ground by tho premature
the Wings The argument is TOO imsy, deceive the
verdant.
