TRIMS ey separating themselves from the great
democratic party of which they had once been
m'mhers and attempting to establish sectional
party whose basis should be condemnation of
aud resistance to the measures which had been
passed by Congress for the adjustment of The
slavery question. They denounced both the
great national parties whg and democratic, as
too unsound and too much tainted with freesoil.
Ism TO permit them. the par ercellence defenders
OF Southern Rights, to again associate with them
in any National Convention for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency.
Such was their position then, while We. true
to the ancient democratic faith, defended the
democratic party from The assaults made upon it
by The resistance party, aud conendad for the
maintenance Of our national organization.
The action Of the called session Of the Legis.

bic for all the evils which have since taken
place. We warned hem Of the dangers which /
they we're bringing upon the democratic party,
but they turned deaf ear to our warnings. By
attempting to engrait the doctrine Of secession
upon the democratic creed, they introduced all
the discussions which now exist They should
have known that the old Jackson democracy

We have now shown thai the Caian demo-
Gratis are not responsible for the breaking up o.
the democratic party in this Smte but that the
Resistance democrats are wholly to blame. III
they really desire reorganization of the demo. |
cratic party The way is plain and easy one
Let them abandon their opposition to The Com,
promise measures, repndiate the heresy Of Sc /
cesson and again unite with the democratic /
party in lis national organization.
The nominees Of the National Democratic
party must and will occupy the position which
has cen maintained BY The Union party in this
State. A faithful adherence to the Compromise
as final settlement Of the slavery question, will
be made the basis OF The action Of that Conven
ton, and its nominees must and will be friends
and supporter. of the great peace measures of
the last Congress which have saved our country
from the horrors OF disunion and evil war. The
princi pies oflhc Union party ofthis State win be
The principles Of the National Democratic Con
venlion, aud therefore the Union democrats OF
Mississippi will support its nominees, We also
hope that our States Rights democratic friends
have now seen the error of their course aud are
prepared to abandon their false doctlines and
come over TO the side of the Union democrats.
Such consumma,ion is devouty TO be wished

ion keePthem nerrorl Iflhey are willing to 90
into National Democratic Convention as many
Of them now profess to be willing to do, they I
must abandon their opposition to the Compro
mise, because the nominees Of that Convention
must and will be pledged 10 its support. The /
reorganization of the democratic party in this t
State, must tie upon the ground which the Tn. t
ON democrats have always occupied.
