position oil the chicago Democrat, echoed as Is from
other soil papers in the East because we foresee
that an effort will be made this State to bring about an

We do not intend to be misunderstood. There ia a
party in ST. Louis. and perhaps few scattering

% divide and distract the party that the wings might gain
the ascendency In the latter attempt they have
to their hearts content but failing receive cordial
welcome from their allies, they are now exceedingly So

usage OF the party. With this party we do not confound
the great body OF that section Of the democratic party who
sided with our late senator in recent domestic contest
We think they were in error in that controversy but
otherwise we recognise them sound democrats with
whom we are at all times ready to cooperate in sustain
ing the principles embraced in the Baltimore platform
and the cardinal doctrines Of democracy expounded by
Madison and Jefferson But cooperation is to be for
the maintenance OF principles not mentor triumph of
the party over our common opponents the whgs-and
triumph OF an ambitious individual section of The
democratic party We will not be compelled to recognise
democrat any who sets himself in opposition to
ognise such man, though he shall profess fidelity
to that platform, when in judgment his previous con-
duct has been such to justify suspicion OF his integrity
There are good men and true in both sections OF the
party-men who can command the confidence of the
whole party If the two sections be wise and prudent
they will select such their standard bearers ire

achieved, they will confer in spirit of amity and can

North and the South-to repudiate all utilization sym

thus the dissensons in the democratic party will be
finally settled and Missouri will be the banner State in

hopes are in conflict with the interests OF the party
